Motivation #1900 introduced dataframe-agnostic mini-batching via narwhals: inputs are wrapped at the method boundary, the numpy compute core stays untouched, and outputs are rebuilt in the caller's native backend (pandas / polars / pyarrow / nullable / arrow-backed pandas). The helpers live in river/utils/dataframe.py: into_frame / into_series — wrap native inputs to_numpy — extract a float64 array for the compute core to_native_frame / to_native_series — rebuild output in the caller's backend, preserving the pandas index So far only linear_model (GLM + LinearRegression, LogisticRegression, BayesianLinearRegression) uses this. Every other mini-batch method still hard-codes pandas (pd.DataFrame/pd.Series signatures, .values, .columns, etc.). The goal of this issue is to migrate all _many methods to narwhals so that any narwhals-supported backend works end to end. Scope Mini-batch methods to migrate (learn_many, predict_many, predict_proba_many, transform_many, and friends): Base
