What are GraphQL Connections and Edges?

Connections and Edges are a Relay specification pattern to represent pagination and relational metadata cleanly.

Instead of returning a simple array [User], a connection returns edges { node, cursor }. The node is the actual object (User), and the cursor is the pagination pointer. This structure allows adding metadata to the relationship itself (e.g., a role field on the edge representing a User's role in a specific Organization).
