Purpose

Clarify exactly what SeaTunnel's multi-table transform layer supports and does not support.
This is a common source of user confusion and support questions.

Changes

  • Added docs/en/transforms/multi-table-transform-and-join-boundary.md (EN)
  • Added docs/zh/transforms/multi-table-transform-and-join-boundary.md (ZH)
  • Updated docs/sidebars.js to include the new page after transform-multi-table

Coverage

  • Capability boundary reference table (supported / not supported / partial)
  • TableMerge vs SQL JOIN distinction with clear examples
  • Cross-source JOIN limitations and recommended alternatives
  • Per-table transform configuration pattern using table_match_regex
  • Common-fields TableMerge pattern (shared schema fan-in)
  • EtLT recommended architecture: light transforms in SeaTunnel, heavy transforms downstream
  • FAQ: wildcard transforms, SQL JOIN, unmatched table fate, dynamic table addition

Closes #10979 (P0-5)
