Hi everyone, I’ve been running into some inconsistent results when resolving nested fields in apollo queries. Sometimes certain fields don’t return the expected data, and caching seems to make it even harder to debug. I was talking with a colleague about ways to safely simulate query behavior and mentioned **[https://deltaexector.com/](https://deltaexector.com/)** as an example of testing different query patterns in a controlled setup. Has anyone else encountered similar issues with nested queries or caching in apollo? What strategies or tools do you use to ensure consistent results across different queries? ---
