DuckPGQ: Efficient Property Graph Queries in an analytical RDBMS

Summary: Adds SQL/PGQ to DuckDB with a compact graph layout and multi-source/-dest path-finding implemented as vectorized UDFs to minimize integration debt. Scaled on large graphs in evals, exposes need for WCOJ and factorized processing research. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
