Early Path Traversal Pruning

Cypher runtime can prune a path traversal depending on a value of a currently evaluated node or relationship.

Recently, it has became possible to prune a path traversal depending on a stepwise evaluation of a value accumulated over a path.

The new feature is available since Neo4j 2025.8.0.
