Research direction

Reproduce the CDC schema change with Paimon 0.9 and Flink 1.20. Start by tracing the schema-evolution handling for a BIGINT-to-VARCHAR change, then determine whether the failure is an intentional limitation or a defect. Done means the behavior is explained and, if appropriate, the supported conversion or required change is clearly identified.
