+## [Unreleased]
+
+### Changed
+
+- **Unsupported Query Expressions Raise** - An expression the adapter cannot translate now raises `Ecto.QueryError` ("unsupported expression ...") instead of being rendered as a `?` placeholder, which bound the wrong parameter in its place and silently changed the query.
+
 ## [0.9.1] - 2026-05-07
