Magic Shapes for SHACL Validation
Summary: Introduces a Magic Sets-style transformation for unrestricted SHACL, including recursion and negation, rewriting shapes to validate only target-relevant RDF neighborhoods. Preserves equivalence absent conflicts and enables lazy validation, substantially accelerating the sole full-SHACL prototype. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
