How to use this reference
The official announcement identifies repaired releases 6.0.2, 5.2.11 and 4.2.28, issued February 3, 2026; release notes independently corroborate the 6.0.2 fix. Editorial lesson: distinguish query values from identifiers and structural metadata, constrain each according to its role, and preserve that contract when composing ORM features.
