Change Propagation Without Joins

Summary: Join-free change propagation for updates; avoids intermediate view materialization and polynomial blowup. Constant-delay enumeration for deltas and results; cost model enables plan optimization; Flink prototype outperforms in space, time, latency. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
