Populated child arrays can currently only be shaped by a top-level `select`, so there is no way to express "these queries apply to the children of this relationship". This adds the carrier for that: a `nested` query type that holds per-relationship queries, a validator that accepts it only on a relationship attribute, and the routing that delivers its inner queries to the relationship populator. No inner query is honoured yet -- the queries reach the populator and the related collection's own `find()` validates them, which is what makes an invalid inner filter surface as an error instead of being dropped. Applying limit/offset/cursor/order per parent is the next step. Three seams had to move for the carrier to be inert everywhere else: - `populateDocumentsRelationships()` inferred "the caller asked for explicit selects" from the selection map being non-empty. A `nested()` fills that map with no `select` present, which made the populator drop every sibling relationship. The caller now states it. - `sum()` does not group queries, so a `nested` would reach `convertQueries()`, be recursed into as a logical query, and emit a broken SQL condition. It is stripped before conversion. - `updateDocuments()` and `deleteDocuments()` do not populate relationships, so they refuse the method rather than silently ignoring it. The inner queries are cloned on the way into the selection map because `getDocument()` passes the caller's own array through, and the populator rewrites dotted select values in place.

A top-level dotted filter such as Query::equal('comments.approved', [true])
narrowed the parent set but left every child in the populated array, so a
caller asking for posts with approved comments got those posts back carrying
their unapproved comments too. The parent-set rewrite and the population pass
disagreed about what the query meant.
processRelationshipQueries now mirrors a dotted filter into the nested
selection bucket for its relationship with the first path segment stripped, so
the same predicate reaches the child find that the four populators already
spread their queries into. Depth beyond one level falls out of the existing
breadth-first re-entry: each level strips one more segment.
The original query object is left untouched because convertRelationshipQueries
reads it immediately afterwards to build the parent-set rewrite, and that
rewrite must not change. Dotted children of and/or are deliberately skipped:
an and/or carries no attribute of its own, and lifting one out would constrain
the child array while the parent set still matched every row.

The many-to-many populator already spreads a nested query's inner
queries into the child find(), so the adapter returns the related rows
in the requested order. The per-parent rebuild then discarded that by
walking the junction rows and looking each id up in a map, so a caller
asking for Query::nested('tags', [Query::orderDesc('name')]) still got
junction insertion order.
When an order query is present among the nested queries, build each
parent's array by walking the already-ordered result set and keeping the
ids that parent's junction rows name. With no order query the original
lookup loop runs unchanged, so junction insertion order stays the
documented default.

A nested relationship query's inner limit/offset/cursor were spread into the batched child fetch alongside the pre-seeded Query::limit(PHP_INT_MAX). First-wins in groupByType() silently dropped the inner limit, and offset and cursor - which are not pre-seeded - applied once across the whole batch, so three parents asking for two children each shared one two-row window and a cursor from one parent's page truncated everybody else's. Withhold pagination from the child fetch and slice each parent's grouped array instead, then return the union of the survivors so the breadth-first traversal fans out only from children that are actually reachable in the result. A cursor is resolved inside the parent's own array, so a cursor that belongs to another parent yields an empty page for this one rather than an adapter error about a foreign collection.

The four nested-query subtasks landed three branches in
processRelationshipQueries() that each re-read $query->getMethod(). Hoist
the method once per iteration so the nested, dotted-filter and select
branches read as one decision, and drop the trailing
`if (getMethod() === TYPE_SELECT)` guard, which is unreachable as false
now that the branch above it continues on anything that is not a select.
The narrating comments in the select body describe what the next line
already says.
Adds testNestedFilterInsideNestedQuery to pin the seam where the two
routing branches meet: Query::nested('comments', [equal('author.name')])
must constrain the populated children without constraining the parent
result set, which is what separates it from the same filter written at
the top level. Verified red with the TYPE_NESTED branch disabled.
No behaviour change in the refactor.

…n depth An inner Query::select() on a nested relationship left the BFS in fetch-all mode, so depth-2 population put unselected child relationships back after applySelectFiltersToDocuments had stripped them. TYPE_NESTED also sits in LOGICAL_TYPES, so skipValidation could leak it into convertQueries and adapter condition builders as a boolean grouping. Skip it in those paths instead of treating it as AND/OR.

…sAll parent-set sliceRelated ignored offset whenever a cursor was present, so a legal cursor+offset nested page started one child too early. Dotted containsAll is a parent-set operator. Forwarding it onto each child required one related document to hold every value and emptied the populated array. Many-to-many nested order now re-sorts concatenated chunk results so order holds across RELATION_QUERY_CHUNK_SIZE boundaries.

…ore offset Redis find() treated TYPE_NESTED as an unknown filter and threw on skipValidation or([nested(), equal()]). Ignore nested there the same way Memory already does. cursorBefore plus an offset larger than the preceding window used array_slice's negative-offset clamp and returned the first page instead of empty. Reverse, offset, limit, reverse matches top-level find(). Re-sort many-to-many chunk results with the same $sequence tie-break find() appends. Reject nested() smuggled inside inner AND/OR.
Mirror::disableValidation() also disables the source and destination instances. Database::skipValidation() only restored Mirror's own flag, so a skipValidation() call permanently turned off query validation on the source. Nested-query contract tests then accepted updateDocuments with TYPE_NESTED, and later structure checks saw PDO/Character errors instead of StructureException.
skipValidation() now snapshots Mirror, source, and destination flags and writes those values back after the callback. enableValidation() on the way out was overwriting a source that had been disabled on its own. Drop NestedTest::testGetMethodType(); it only asserted a constant.

Nested relationship queries now constrain and shape the populated child arrays, not just which parents come back.
Also, a top-level dotted filter such as
Query::equal('comments.approved', [true])now both selects matching parents and prunes the populatedcommentsarray to the matching children.What landed
