 ### Fixed
 
-- Zone-map `MIN`/`MAX` is now per-zone nullable instead of all-or-nothing: one chunk without stats (e.g. an all-null chunk) used to blank `MIN`/`MAX` for every chunk in the column, silently disabling zone-map pruning for the whole column rather than just that chunk — matching Rust, which always wraps zone-map stats nullable (`vortex-layout/src/layouts/zoned/schema.rs`). ([#378](https://github.com/dfa1/vortex-java/issues/378))
-- `FrameOfReferenceEncodingEncoder` and `DictEncodingEncoder`'s primitive path now surface `MIN`/`MAX` stats instead of hardcoding `null`; combined with cascading compression (`WriteOptions.cascading`/`allowedCascading`), a numeric column whose chunks won the FOR or Dict competition previously lost zone-map pruning for those chunks with no indication. ([#379](https://github.com/dfa1/vortex-java/issues/379))
-- `ScanIterator`'s zone-map pruning check now decodes the column's compact zone-map table (once per scan, cached) instead of fetching each chunk's own full data segment just to read its embedded stats — over HTTP, checking whether a chunk could be pruned used to cost exactly as much as fetching it outright, so pruning saved nothing for the checked column itself (only for other, unfiltered columns in the same row window). ([#380](https://github.com/dfa1/vortex-java/issues/380))
-- `MaskedEncodingEncoder` (nullable columns) now computes `MIN`/`MAX` from only the row-valid elements instead of trusting whichever inner encoder ran over the dense, placeholder-filled values array — a `long[]`/`int[]`/... has no way to represent "no value", so invalid slots carry a placeholder (commonly `0`) that was silently folding into the reported stats; a column with any nulls could report a wrong non-null `MIN`/`MAX` (e.g. `0`) instead of excluding those rows, corrupting both pruning and any consumer trusting the zone-map's actual values. Found while verifying the #378 fix against the real Rust reader on the same data. ([#381](https://github.com/dfa1/vortex-java/pull/381))
-- `AlpRdEncodingEncoder` (`vortex.alprd`) now computes `MIN`/`MAX` from the input `double[]`/`float[]` instead of hardcoding `null` on every path — unlike its sibling `AlpEncodingEncoder` (fixed under #379's pattern), ALP-RD never kept a running min/max alongside its dictionary training and exception encoding, so any column the cascade routed through ALP-RD lost zone-map pruning entirely regardless of how narrow or disjoint a range filter was from the data's actual domain. ([#382](https://github.com/dfa1/vortex-java/issues/382))
-- `ConstantEncodingEncoder`, `RunEndEncodingEncoder`, and `ZigZagEncodingEncoder` now report `MIN`/`MAX` zone-map stats instead of hardcoding `null` — same bug as #382, three more encoders. ([#384](https://github.com/dfa1/vortex-java/issues/384), [#385](https://github.com/dfa1/vortex-java/issues/385), [#386](https://github.com/dfa1/vortex-java/issues/386))
-- `SequenceEncodingEncoder`, `PcoEncodingEncoder`, `RleEncodingEncoder`, `SparseEncodingEncoder`, `PatchedEncodingEncoder`, `ZstdEncodingEncoder`, `FsstEncodingEncoder`, `VarBinViewEncodingEncoder`, `ExtEncodingEncoder` (cascade path), and `DateTimePartsEncodingEncoder` — same bug again, found by auditing every remaining encoder for the pattern rather than waiting for another report. A new `ZoneMapStatsCoverageTest` fitness function now asserts every stats-eligible encoder in the default registry actually reports stats, so a future encoder missing this can't land silently. ([#387](https://github.com/dfa1/vortex-java/pull/387))
+- Zone-map `MIN`/`MAX` stats are now per-zone nullable instead of all-or-nothing, so one stats-less chunk no longer disables pruning for the whole column. ([#378](https://github.com/dfa1/vortex-java/issues/378))
+- `FrameOfReferenceEncodingEncoder` and `DictEncodingEncoder`'s primitive path now report `MIN`/`MAX` zone-map stats instead of `null`. ([#379](https://github.com/dfa1/vortex-java/issues/379))
+- `ScanIterator`'s zone-map pruning check now reads the column's compact stats table instead of fetching each chunk's full data segment. ([#380](https://github.com/dfa1/vortex-java/issues/380))
+- `MaskedEncodingEncoder` now computes `MIN`/`MAX` from valid rows only, instead of letting placeholder values for nulls leak into the reported stats. ([#381](https://github.com/dfa1/vortex-java/pull/381))
+- `AlpRdEncodingEncoder`, `ConstantEncodingEncoder`, `RunEndEncodingEncoder`, `ZigZagEncodingEncoder`, `SequenceEncodingEncoder`, `PcoEncodingEncoder`, `RleEncodingEncoder`, `SparseEncodingEncoder`, `PatchedEncodingEncoder`, `ZstdEncodingEncoder`, `FsstEncodingEncoder`, `VarBinViewEncodingEncoder`, `ExtEncodingEncoder` (cascade path), and `DateTimePartsEncodingEncoder` now report `MIN`/`MAX` zone-map stats instead of hardcoding `null`.
