Research direction

Start with AgentSetPolars and PolarsMixins, then read the linked Polars lazy-versus-eager API reference to understand the intended query optimization. Compare the current eager operations with the proposed lazy workflow and review pull request #144 before starting. Done means the implementation uses LazyFrames where appropriate without changing its existing behavior.

Description

enhancement

Polars has a lazy API, which allows for query optimization. Currently, AgentSetPolars and PolarsMixins are implemented with the eager API, which may lead to a significant performance loss. Collection could be done at each step.
