Frame methods
=============
.. currentmodule:: maxframe.liteframe

LiteFrame is a performance-dedicated tabular data object with no index semantics.
Column names are flat strings, single-column selection returns a LiteFrame (not a
Series), and all operations are column-based with no implicit label alignment.
Arrow dtypes are used throughout so that nullable integer columns are preserved
rather than promoted to float. Results are lazy — call ``.execute()`` to materialize.
