Interface LaravelUi5\OData\Edm\Contracts\ColumnarSchemaInterface

Declares a typed column schema: column names with their primitive types and the key columns that uniquely identify a row.

This is the common denominator between OData entity sets (where parameters arrive via $filter) and Core artifact types like Report, AnalyticsSet, and ValueHelp (where parameters arrive via artifact-specific mechanisms).

The interface captures only the schema — "I produce typed rows with this shape" — without prescribing how the data is queried or how parameters are supplied. That responsibility belongs to the consuming layer:

In odata: {@see \LaravelUi5\OData\Service\AbstractEntitySet} implements this interface and inherits SQL query execution from SqlEntitySetResolver.
In Core: SqlQueryInterface extends this interface and adds the query source contract for Report/AnalyticsSet/ValueHelp artifacts.

Methods
`public`	`columns(): array<string, EdmPrimitiveType\|class-string<BackedEnum>>` Flat column definitions. Flat column definitions. Each value is either an {@see EdmPrimitiveType} case (for primitive columns) or the class-string of an int-backed PHP enum that should project to an {@see \LaravelUi5\OData\Edm\Contracts\Type\EnumTypeInterface} — the OData engine reflects the enum, registers it on the schema, and emits the symbolic member name on the wire. Implemented by `LaravelUi5\OData\Service\AbstractEntitySet::columns()`	#
`public`	`key(): list<string>` Primary key column name(s). Primary key column name(s). Implemented by `LaravelUi5\OData\Service\AbstractEntitySet::key()`	#
