Review Comment:
   wdyt about rephrasing this to something like 
   ```suggestion
               // values array changed since last batch - recompute hashes and 
update cached pointer
   ```

Review Comment:
   This code is quite algorithmic, especially for people who won't read the PR 
description. I think it would be useful to add some documentation since there 
are too many nested branches without explanation -- wdyt about refactoring this 
loop with some inline comments?
   
   ```
   for i in 0..key_array.len() {
       // null key -> null row
       if key_array.is_null(i) {
           groups.push(self.get_null_group_id());
           continue;
       }
   
       let key = key_array.value(i).to_usize().unwrap();
   
       // already resolved this dictionary index earlier in this batch
       if let Some(group_id) = key_to_group[key] {
           groups.push(group_id);
           continue;
       }
   
       // non-null key pointing to a null value slot — treat as null
       if values.is_null(key) {
           let gid = self.get_null_group_id();
           key_to_group[key] = Some(gid);
           groups.push(gid);
           continue;
       }
   
       // new value — insert into hash table and assign a new group id
       let hash = self.values_cache.1[key];
       let raw = Self::get_raw_bytes(values, key);
       let gid = self.lookup_or_insert_in_table(hash, raw.as_ref());
       key_to_group[key] = Some(gid);

Review Comment:
   `get_array_memory_size()` over counts if it has underlying buffers that are 
shared with another array ( the `RecordBatch` that owns this values array may 
already be tracked by the memory pool). This could cause the memory pool to 
falsely exceeded limits when it hasn't actually been exceeded. Although in 
practice I don't think this is very probable. Maybe it's worth using a more 
acurate method like `a.to_data().get_array_memory_size()` 
([example](https://github.com/apache/datafusion/blob/b7761dc59155f04cd7d4b45eb7c5d4a1c3587d32/datafusion/functions-aggregate/src/array_agg.rs#L472))

Review Comment:
   Can we add a small comment on why we have this branch?
   ```
    // For values already seen in prior batches, pre fill `key_to_group`
   // so the main loop below can skip hash table lookups for those keys.
   // This pre scan is skipped on the first batch since the hash table is empty.
   ```
