## 📋 Summary of Completed Work

### Critical Issues Fixed ✅

**1. Fixed MERGE UPSERT Counting Bug**
- **Problem:** MERGE UPSERT was returning incorrect `updated_count` by assuming all existing rows were updated
- **Solution:** Added `_count_updated_rows()` method that compares non-key columns between existing and merged data to count actual value changes
- **Files:** `src/fsspeckit/datasets/duckdb/dataset.py` (+45 lines)
- **Benefits:**
  - Accurate tracking of actual value changes (not just matched rows)
  - Proper handling of NULL values in comparisons
  - Correct `updated_count` for users
  - Efficient PyArrow compute operations

**2. Added SQL Identifier Validation**
- **Problem:** Column names in merge operations were not validated, creating SQL injection risk
- **Solution:** Added `PathValidator.validate_sql_identifier()` method
- **Pattern:** `^[a-zA-Z_][a-zA-Z0-9_]*$` (strict)
- **Validates all key columns before SQL construction**
- **Files:** `src/fsspeckit/common/security.py` (+19 lines)
- **Benefits:**
  - Prevents SQL injection through strict validation
  - Consistent with codebase security patterns
  - Clear error messages for invalid identifiers

**3. Unified Error Handling**
- **Problem:** MERGE implementation had comprehensive error handling, but UNION ALL methods had none
- **Solution:** Added consistent error handling to all UNION ALL methods with structured logging
- **Applied To:**
  - `_merge_using_union_all()`
  - `_merge_update()`
  - `_extract_inserted_rows()`
- **Benefits:**
  - Consistent error handling across all merge implementations
  - Better user experience with clear error messages
  - Structured logging for debugging
  - Proper exception chaining

**4. Added Integration Tests**
- **Problem:** No end-to-end tests for full `merge()` method with `use_merge` parameter
- **Solution:** Added new test class `TestMergeRoutingWithUseMerge` with 8 tests
- **Tests:**
  - Tests for `use_merge=True` (forces MERGE)
  - Tests for `use_merge=False` (forces UNION ALL)
  - Tests for `use_merge=None` (auto-detects)
  - Tests for invalid identifier rejection
  - Full end-to-end merge() method testing
- **Files:** `tests/test_duckdb_merge.py` (+82 lines)
- **Benefits:**
  - End-to-end testing of merge() routing logic
  - Validation of `use_merge` parameter behavior
  - Testing of SQL identifier validation in merge workflow
  - Coverage of auto-detect, explicit MERGE, explicit UNION ALL paths

**5. Improved Version Detection**
- **Problem:** Version detection was too permissive, no format validation
- **Solution:** Enhanced `_get_duckdb_version()` method with:
  - Regex format validation: `^\d+\.\d+\.\d+$`
  - Part count validation (must be 3)
  - Better error messages for invalid formats
  - Robust exception handling
- **Files:** `src/fsspeckit/datasets/duckdb/dataset.py` (+25 lines)
- **Tests:** 3 new tests for failure modes and formats
- **Benefits:**
  - Strict version string validation
  - Clear error messages
  - Tests for malformed version strings
  - More robust error handling

**6. Updated Documentation**
- **Problem:** Documentation lacked guidance on when to use MERGE vs UNION ALL and trade-offs
- **Solution:** Added comprehensive section to `docs/how-to/merge-datasets.md`:
  - Performance comparison table
  - Trade-offs documentation
  - Guidance on implementation selection
  - `use_merge` parameter guidance
- **Files:** `docs/how-to/merge-datasets.md` (+68 lines)
- **Benefits:**
  - Clear guidance on implementation selection
  - Understanding of performance characteristics
  - Informed decision-making for users
