📝 Walkthrough

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Tests
  • Updated compatibility handling for Polars versions before 1.38.
  • Adjusted sorted-data and sorted-join test expectations for unsupported sorting hints in older Polars releases.

Walkthrough

The changes update Polars version checks in aggregation and map-function tests. Sorted tests now use the <1.38 compatibility threshold, and the aggregation test records the unsupported set_sorted hint IR as its expected-failure reason.
