Plan Bouquets: Query Processing without Selectivity Estimation

Summary: Plan Bouquets replace selectivity estimation with a compact bouquet covering the error space. Runtime discerns selectivities via bouquet runs, with bounded overhead and guaranteed worst-case performance; compatible with existing optimizers. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
