+     * MySQL ALTER TABLE ALGORITHM options
+     *
+     * These constants control how MySQL performs ALTER TABLE operations:
+     * - ALGORITHM_DEFAULT: Let MySQL choose the best algorithm
+     * - ALGORITHM_INSTANT: Instant operation (no table copy, MySQL 8.0+ / MariaDB 10.3+)
+     * - ALGORITHM_INPLACE: In-place operation (no full table copy)
+     * - ALGORITHM_COPY: Traditional table copy algorithm
+     *
+     * Usage:
+     * ```php
+     * use Migrations\Db\Adapter\MysqlAdapter;
+     *
+     * // ALGORITHM=INSTANT alone (recommended)
+     * $table->addColumn('status', 'string', [
+     *     'null' => true,
+     *     'algorithm' => MysqlAdapter::ALGORITHM_INSTANT,
+     * ]);
+     *
+     * // Or with ALGORITHM=INPLACE and explicit LOCK
+     * $table->addColumn('status', 'string', [
+     *     'algorithm' => MysqlAdapter::ALGORITHM_INPLACE,
+     *     'lock' => MysqlAdapter::LOCK_NONE,
+     * ]);
+     * ```
+     *
+     * Important: ALGORITHM=INSTANT cannot be combined with LOCK=NONE, LOCK=SHARED,
+     * or LOCK=EXCLUSIVE (MySQL restriction). Use ALGORITHM=INSTANT alone or with
+     * LOCK=DEFAULT only.
+     *
+     * Note: ALGORITHM_INSTANT requires MySQL 8.0+ or MariaDB 10.3+ and only works for
+     * compatible operations (adding nullable columns, dropping columns, etc.).
+     * If the operation cannot be performed instantly, MySQL will return an error.
