Solving N+1 Queries in Laravel with `chaperone()`
`chaperone()` method in Eloquent relationships especially helpful on inverse or "child-to-parent" relations to automatically hydrate the parent onto each child, eliminating the dreaded N+1 query pattern
This ensures that when we eager load comments, each Comment instance gets its parent Post assigned without extra queries
Why It Matters
Without `chaperone()`, even with eager loading, looping through children and accessing `$comment->post` triggers individual queries for each relationship the classic N+1 pitfall. `chaperone()` bundles the parent relation on the child records in one go, boosting performance and scalability
