+### Dumping native stream output with a `DbgExec` wrapper
+
+When a native operator is suspected of producing wrong data (wrong values, wrong
+nullability, wrong row count) but the JVM-side observable output is just a DataFrame
+mismatch, it is useful to inspect the `RecordBatch`es that the operator actually
+emits. A small `ExecutionPlan` wrapper that prints every batch as it flows through
+makes this easy. Comet does not ship this wrapper in the source tree — paste it
+into a convenient module (for example `native/core/src/parquet/parquet_exec.rs`)
+for the duration of your debugging session and remove it before committing.
+
+`DbgExec` forwards `schema`, `properties`, `children`, and `with_new_children` to the
+inner plan, so slotting it in does not change operator semantics — it only adds
+printing. Because it is itself an `ExecutionPlan` it can be inserted anywhere in
+the physical plan tree built by `PhysicalPlanner::create_plan` in
+`native/core/src/execution/planner.rs`.
+
+### Dumping expression inputs and outputs with a `DbgExpr` wrapper
+
+`DbgExec` works at the operator level. When the suspect is a single
+**expression** — a cast, a binary op, a `CASE WHEN` predicate, a UDF — an
+`ExecutionPlan` wrapper is too coarse. The equivalent trick at the
+`PhysicalExpr` level is a small wrapper that forwards `evaluate()` to an inner
+expression and prints both the input `RecordBatch` and the resulting
+`ColumnarValue`. Like `DbgExec`, this wrapper is not shipped in the source tree
+— paste it in for a debugging session and remove it before committing.
+
+#### Using `DbgExpr` in `planner.rs`
+
+Paste the wrappers below into a convenient module (for example
+`native/core/src/parquet/parquet_exec.rs`). The first block is `DbgExec` (wraps
+an `ExecutionPlan`); the second is `DbgExpr` (wraps a `PhysicalExpr`). You only
+need whichever one matches the granularity you want to trace — they are
+independent.

+
+`PhysicalPlanner::create_expr` returns `Arc<dyn PhysicalExpr>`, so any expression
+produced during plan building can be one-line-wrapped. For example, to dump what
+a `CASE WHEN` predicate sees and produces:
+
+```rust
+use crate::parquet::parquet_exec::DbgExpr; // or wherever you pasted it
+
+// Before:
+let predicate = self.create_expr(when_expr, Arc::clone(&input_schema))?;
+
+// After — TEMPORARY, remove before committing:
+let predicate: Arc<dyn PhysicalExpr> =
+    Arc::new(DbgExpr::new("case-when-predicate", predicate));
+```
+
+To trace every argument of a suspicious scalar function, wrap each child as it
+is built:
+
+```rust
+let args: Vec<Arc<dyn PhysicalExpr>> = expr
+    .children
+    .iter()
+    .enumerate()
+    .map(|(i, c)| {
+        let child = self.create_expr(c, Arc::clone(&input_schema))?;
+        Ok::<_, ExecutionError>(Arc::new(DbgExpr::new(
+            format!("arg{i}"),
+            child,
+        )) as Arc<dyn PhysicalExpr>)
+    })
+    .collect::<Result<_, _>>()?;
+```
+
+Rebuild with `make core` and run the JVM test. Sample output for a `BinaryExpr`
+computing `a + b` over a three-row batch:
+
+```text
+[comet-debug] DbgExpr[add].evaluate(rows=3, cols=2)
+[core/src/execution/planner.rs:…] batch = RecordBatch { columns: [Int32[1,2,3], Int32[10,20,30]], row_count: 3 }
+[core/src/execution/planner.rs:…] arr.len() = 3
+[core/src/execution/planner.rs:…] arr.nulls() = None
+[core/src/execution/planner.rs:…] arr = PrimitiveArray<Int32> [11, 22, 33]
+```
