//! Mutation types for CQL write operations
//!
//! Represents INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE operations as structured mutations.
//! Supports cell-level operations with timestamps and TTL.

//! - `DecoratedKey`: Token + raw key bytes for partition ordering
//! - `PartitionKey`: Multi-column partition key with schema-aware encoding
//! - `ClusteringKey`: Multi-column clustering key with ASC/DESC ordering
//! - `CellOperation`: Cell-level write/delete operations
