          .index("by_role", ["role"])

      performance: "Optimized queries with proper index selection"
      security: "Role-based access with validated enums"

    collaborative_document_schema:
      example: |

            const documents = await q
              .order("desc")
              .take(limit + 1); // Take one extra to check for more

            const hasMore = documents.length > limit;
            const results = hasMore ? documents.slice(0, limit) : documents;

#### Caching and Performance Patterns

```typescript

      ...user,
      stats,
      recentActivity,
      // Add cache timestamp for client-side cache management
      _cacheTimestamp: Date.now(),
    };
  },
});

// Batch operations for performance
export const batchUpdatePosts = mutation({
  args: {
