Query Performance Log: Track execution stats via sys::QueryStats. Tag queries with custom identifiers like `createClient().withQueryTag("myapp/feature")` and use our new UI to identify performance bottlenecks.

Querying has made me a better writer because it taught me how to summarize my entire soul in 37 words or less.

Most agents responded, “Great voice. Beautiful soul. Just not sure how to market eternal torment right now.”
