+// fix https://github.com/apache/datafusion/issues/13949
+/// Builds a **partial aggregation** schema by combining the group columns and
+/// the accumulator state columns produced by each aggregate expression.
+///
+/// # Why Partial Aggregation Schema Is Needed
+///
+/// In a multi-stage (partial/final) aggregation strategy, each partial-aggregate
+/// operator produces *intermediate* states (e.g., partial sums, counts) rather
+/// than final scalar values. These extra columns do **not** exist in the original
+/// input schema (which may be something like `[colA, colB, ...]`). Instead,
+/// each aggregator adds its own internal state columns (e.g., `[acc_state_1, acc_state_2, ...]`).
+///
+/// Therefore, when we spill these intermediate states or pass them to another
+/// aggregation operator, we must use a schema that includes both the group
+/// columns **and** the partial-state columns. Otherwise, using the original input
+/// schema to read partial states will result in a column-count mismatch error.
+///
+/// This helper function constructs such a schema:
+/// `[group_col_1, group_col_2, ..., state_col_1, state_col_2, ...]`
+/// so that partial aggregation data can be handled consistently.
