Haha no worries. I missed it too when reviewing, the predict path wasn't clear (feature_name='auto' leading to the shallow copy). |

Takes a shallow copy of the dataframe in the
_data_from_pandasfunction to avoid modifying it when converting categorical features to their codes. This used to always be done (implicitly) for predict until #6066, since the function is called withfeature_name='auto'and thecopyargument ofpandas.DataFrame.renameis passed as thedeepargument topandas.DataFrame.copy, however that behavior wasn't obvious.Fixes #6195.
Also updates the test that verifies the original dataframe isn't modified to now consider the case of unseen categories, which fails in the current master and should prevent #6195 from happening again.
