+Task completed as part of the overall auxiliary table implementation. Automatic attribute accessors are working correctly for auxiliary table columns, with proper handling of getter, setter, and presence check methods. The implementation includes schema loading hooks and validation for column overlaps.

+## Implementation Notes
+
+Successfully implemented column overlap validation to prevent auxiliary tables from defining columns that exist in the main table.\n\n**Implementation highlights:**\n- Added validation logic directly in the schema loading hook where both main and auxiliary table schemas are available\n- Validates column overlaps after both schemas are loaded\n- Excludes system columns (id, created_at, updated_at) and foreign key columns from validation\n- Provides clear error messages indicating which columns overlap and which tables are involved\n- Properly handles ArgumentError re-raising while catching other schema loading errors\n\n**Working functionality:**\n- Detects single and multiple overlapping columns correctly\n- Provides descriptive error messages with table and column names\n- Allows non-overlapping columns to work normally\n- Ignores system columns and foreign keys as expected\n- Validation occurs during schema loading when accessing column information\n\n**Fixed issues:**\n- Removed conflicting 'name' column from test_table to avoid test setup conflicts\n- Updated all test table names to use proper plural forms that ActiveRecord expects\n- Added proper foreign key references with explicit to_table specifications\n\n**All column overlap validation tests now pass (5/5)** ensuring the feature works correctly and prevents attribute shadowing issues.

+## Description
+
+Fix failing tests related to chained where clauses, nil value queries, and non-existent column error handling in the auxiliary table query extensions
+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+
+- [ ] Chained where clauses work correctly
+- [ ] Nil value queries return expected results
+- [ ] Non-existent column queries raise proper errors
+- [ ] All tests pass
+- [ ] Sorbet typechecker passes
+
+## Implementation Plan
+
+1. Analyze failing tests to understand root causes\n2. Fix chained where clauses by extending ActiveRecord::Relation objects\n3. Fix nil value queries by using LEFT JOIN instead of INNER JOIN\n4. Fix non-existent column error handling by forcing query execution\n5. Run full test suite to ensure no regressions\n6. Run Sorbet typechecker to ensure type safety
+
+## Implementation Notes
+
+Successfully fixed all three failing tests by:\n\n1. **Chained where clauses**: Extended ActiveRecord::Relation objects with auxiliary table support using dynamic modules, allowing unlimited chaining of where clauses with auxiliary columns\n\n2. **Nil value queries**: Changed from joins (INNER JOIN) to left_joins (LEFT JOIN) to properly handle cases where auxiliary records might not exist\n\n3. **Non-existent column error handling**: Added .load to force query execution when invalid columns are encountered, ensuring ActiveRecord::StatementInvalid is properly raised\n\n**Results**: All 47 tests now pass, Sorbet typechecker passes with no errors. The implementation maintains backward compatibility while adding robust support for complex query scenarios.\n\n**Files modified**: lib/active_record/aux_table.rb (setup_query_extensions method)

+
+## Implementation Notes
+
+Successfully implemented core query extensions for automatic auxiliary table joins.
+
+**Implementation highlights:**
+- Added setup_query_extensions method to aux_table configuration
+- Implemented query method overrides for find, find_by, and where
+- Added automatic JOIN detection for auxiliary columns
+- Implemented mixed query support (main table + auxiliary table conditions)
+- Added auxiliary column detection and condition splitting logic
+
+**Working functionality:**
+- Basic auxiliary column queries work correctly (e.g., Car.where(fuel_type: 'hybrid'))
+- Single auxiliary column queries with automatic joins
+- Complex queries with ranges and arrays
+- Mixed queries with main table and auxiliary table columns
+
+**Current limitations:**
+- Some edge cases with chained where clauses need refinement
+- Type checking issues with dynamically created module (expected with Sorbet)
+- Some complex query scenarios may need additional handling
+
+**Key implementation details:**
+- Uses Module.new with prepend to extend ActiveRecord query methods
+- Automatically detects auxiliary columns and splits conditions
+- Applies proper table scoping for auxiliary column conditions
+- Maintains backward compatibility with existing ActiveRecord patterns
+
+**Tests:** 12 of 19 new tests passing, covering core functionality including auxiliary column queries, range queries, and mixed condition queries.
+
+The core objective of enabling automatic joins for auxiliary table queries has been achieved.
