## 🎯 What Was Implemented

### Feature 1: Nested Fragment Support

**Problem**: Fragments only worked at root query level

**Solution**: Recursive fragment processing
- `process_selections()` function added
- Handles fragments at any nesting depth
- Maintains backward compatibility

**Tests**: 3 new test cases
- Basic nested fragments
- Multi-level nesting (3+ deep)
- Mixed with aliases

**Impact**: Improved developer experience, query flexibility

### Feature 2: Fragment Cycle Detection

**Problem**: No protection against circular fragment references

**Solution**: Cycle detection with visited fragment tracking
- Added `visited_fragments` parameter
- Tracks fragments during recursive expansion
- Hard failure on cycles (security-first)

**Tests**: 4 new test cases
- Direct cycles (A ↔ B)
- Self-reference (A ↔ A)
- Long chains (A → B → C → A)
- Valid fragments (no cycles)

**Impact**: Security enhancement, DoS protection
