## 🎓 Key Concepts

### Nested Fragments
Fragments can now be used in nested selections:
```graphql
fragment UserFields on User { id name }

# ✅ This now works (didn't in v1.8.5):
query {
  posts { author { ...UserFields } }
}
```

### Cycle Detection
Circular fragment references are automatically caught:
```
Fragment A → Fragment B → Fragment A
         ❌ CYCLE DETECTED
         Error: Circular fragment reference
```

### Version Strategy
- Current: v1.8.5
- Target: v1.8.6 (patch bump)
- Changes: New features, no breaking changes
- Files Updated: 8 (automatic via `make pr-ship-patch`)
