 ### Fixed
 
+- `vortex.zstd` segments compressed with a shared (trained) dictionary now decode, via the native `libzstd` dictionary support, instead of being rejected. The upstream `zstd.vortex` compatibility fixture is read end-to-end and matches the Rust reference. ([#104](https://github.com/dfa1/vortex-java/issues/104))
 - Writing a nullable `Utf8`/`Binary` column no longer throws `NullPointerException` (or silently drops nulls): nullable string columns now carry their validity like nullable primitives and round-trip through `vortex.masked`. As a result they decode as `MaskedArray` (validity + values child) rather than a bare `VarBinArray`. ([#168](https://github.com/dfa1/vortex-java/pull/168))
 - CSV export now handles nullable columns (`MaskedArray`): null rows export as an empty field instead of failing with "unsupported array type for CSV export". ([#168](https://github.com/dfa1/vortex-java/pull/168))
 - Zone-map pruning now compares filter values in the *column's* type domain rather than by the boxed value's type. A predicate whose value is boxed at a different width (e.g. `Integer` on an `I64` column) — or any value on a `U64` column — previously pruned nothing and silently degraded to a full scan; it now prunes correctly (unsigned columns by unsigned order). As part of this, a filter value genuinely incomparable to its column (e.g. a `String` against a numeric column) now raises `VortexException` during the scan instead of silently disabling pruning — a behaviour change for callers that relied on the previous silent full scan. ([#159](https://github.com/dfa1/vortex-java/issues/159))
