Research direction
Start by reproducing the reported convert partitions to parquet where timestamp < '2025-11-28' query and locate the parser entry point for CONVERT PARTITION. Done means the plural PARTITIONS form is accepted alongside the existing singular form without changing conversion behavior; add or update parser coverage if the project provides it.
