When matching patterns like (u)-[e]->(v), join conditions previously rebuilt entire vertex/edge agtype values just to extract IDs:
age_id(_agtype_build_vertex(r.id, ...))::graphid
Added optimize_qual_expr_mutator() to replace these patterns with direct column access:
age_id(_agtype_build_vertex(id, ...)) -> graphid_to_agtype(id) age_start_id(_agtype_build_edge(...)) -> graphid_to_agtype(start) age_end_id(_agtype_build_edge(...)) -> graphid_to_agtype(end) age_properties(...) -> direct properties column
Join conditions now use efficient comparisons like (e.start_id = u.id) enabling PostgreSQL to leverage index scans on edge tables.
Added regression tests.
All regression tests passed.
