- Around line 536-573: Update the ReplaceTimeZone initialization logic in the
datetime expression class to store the resolved from/to time-zone directories in
a dedicated attribute instead of appending them to self.options. Preserve the
original options tuple unchanged so Node.reconstruct remains idempotent and
hash/equality behavior is stable, and update downstream consumers to read the
separate resolved-directory attribute.

Here as well, I'm trying to ground my review on what Polars is doing. If there are reasons we don't need or want to follow it exactly, please shout and push me back.

Could we explicitly handle only ambiguous_scalar == "null" here and raise for any other value? Currently an invalid scalar such as ambiguous="bogus" is treated as "null" for ambiguous timestamps (and is silently accepted for non-ambiguous ones), whereas Polars raises InvalidOperationError for values outside {"earliest", "latest", "null", "raise"}. Adding then a regression test for an invalid scalar selector would be good. Polars’ selector parser.

Could we preserve the null semantics of a per-row ambiguous expression? A null selector must produce a null result even when the timestamp itself is unambiguous, it seems this code only nulls rows where the timestamp is ambiguous and the selector equals the string "null", so null selectors instead return utc_latest. Polars handles a null selector by returning null and validates non-null selector values independently. We should then also add coverage with a nullable string ambiguous column. Upstream implementation.

Could we avoid returning early before applying ambiguous validation/null handling for zones with an empty transition table? For example, replace_time_zone("Etc/GMT", ambiguous="bogus") should still raise, but this branch returns the input unchanged. Likewise, a nullable per-row selector should still propagate nulls. The lack of DST transitions only eliminates transition lookup, but does not eliminate selector semantics. Polars applies selector handling even on its fast path.
