Review Comment:
   You're right—'resetting' and 'link' were poor word choices since Result is 
immutable.
   
   I’ll update the comments to be more precise: I'm providing a clean state to 
prevent redundant wrappers, and using explicit aliases to mask internal 
qualifiers and flatten the scope for ClickHouse. Thanks for the catch!
