binder.rs

//! Semantic validation - catching errors before execution.
//!
//! The binder walks the logical plan and validates that everything makes sense:
//! - Is that variable actually defined? (You can't use `RETURN x` if `x` wasn't matched)
//! - Does that property access make sense? (Accessing `.age` on an integer fails)
//! - Are types compatible? (Can't compare a string to an integer)
//!
//! Better to catch these errors early than waste time executing a broken query.
