Select queries skip filters on unselected attributes - #941

ChangesAttribute decoding
Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to Relationship-only selections can execute filters for attributes the caller did not request, potentially issuing repeated queries for every document and causing significant performance degradation. The PR is not merge-ready until this behavior is corrected and covered by a regression test. Possibly related PRs

Greptile SummaryThis PR avoids running attribute decode filters when their attributes are omitted from select queries, reducing unnecessary work from query-producing filters.
Confidence Score: 4/5The PR appears safe to merge, with a non-blocking gap where nested relationship selections still execute unrelated query-producing filters. Direct and wildcard selections behave as intended, but the document-wide relationship-selection flag defeats filter pruning whenever any dotted selection is present.

**Dotted selects disable filter pruning**
When a query selects a nested relationship field such as `children.name`, `$hasRelationshipSelections` makes every attribute pass this condition, so unrelated unselected query-producing filters still execute once per returned document and retain the fan-out cost this change is intended to remove.

Correct that filters still run when a dotted selection is present, but that's the pre-existing behaviour preserved deliberately, not a leftover.

Fair point — if the intent is to preserve the pre-existing behaviour for relationship queries rather than optimize it, the current logic makes sense. Thanks for the clarification.

Skip filters for unrelated attributes during relationship selections.
A dotted selection sets $hasRelationshipSelections, so Line 9394 runs every attribute filter. An unselected query-backed attribute can therefore execute once per document when the caller selects only a relationship.
