Fix: quote relation labels in Cypher to handle reserved keywords#7
Merged

Conversation
AgensGraph rejects unquoted relation labels that collide with reserved Cypher/SQL keywords (e.g. REFERENCES, MATCH, CREATE). Double-quote all dynamic relation labels in Edge.to_cypher_create() so that any LLM-extracted relationship name is safe.

Summary
Edge.to_cypher_create()so that reserved Cypher/SQL keywords (e.g.REFERENCES,MATCH,CREATE) don't cause syntax errors in AgensGraph.Fixes outshift-open/ioc-cognition-fabric-node-svc#7
Root Cause
Edge.to_cypher_create()interpolatedself.relationdirectly into the Cypher query:REFERENCESis a reserved keyword in AgensGraph/PostgreSQL, causing apsycopg2.errors.SyntaxError.Fix
Wrap the relation label in double-quotes (AgensGraph's identifier quoting mechanism):
Note: backtick quoting (Neo4j-style) is not supported by AgensGraph.
