 ## Bugfixes
 
+* (Python) Fixed batched DoFns whose input must be rebatched into a `pyarrow.Table` with more than one column, which failed with `ArrowInvalid: Column 1 ... expected length N but got length 0`. This affected, for example, Beam YAML `ReadFromCsv` or `ReadFromJson` followed directly by `WriteToParquet` ([#41042](https://github.com/apache/beam/issues/41042)).
 * (Python) RunInference now measures model memory (the `model_byte_size` metric) when `torch` is not installed. It was always 0, because a failed `ModelManager` import also disabled the `resource` module ([#40854](https://github.com/apache/beam/issues/40854)).
 * (Python/YAML) Fixed `WindowInto` `'d'` (day) duration unit parsing (`24h` instead of `12h`) and fixed `ExtractWindowingInfo` duplicate field name validation ([#40902](https://github.com/apache/beam/issues/40902)).
 * (Python) Fixed `GeminiModelHandler` returning only one result per batch: each prompt is now sent as its own request (up to 32 at a time), so every input gets its own result. A custom `request_fn` must now return one response per input ([#40913](https://github.com/apache/beam/issues/40913)).
