HotChocolate Filters多条件过滤触发NullReferenceException求助

使用HotChocolate.AspNetCore与HotChocolate.Types.Filters NuGet包（版本11.0.9）启用集合过滤功能后，整体过滤正常，但部分查询会在过滤中间件阶段触发NullReferenceException。

经排查，问题根源在于NuGet包中QueryableFilterVisitor生成的IQueryable表达式顺序错误：先检查子属性值，再检查父对象是否非空。调整过滤条件顺序可临时规避异常，但该方案不适用于当前场景（客户端不知情，无法控制条件顺序），请求提供修复方案。

复现代码 #

public class Item
{
    public int Id { get; set; }

    public ItemSetting ItemSetting { get; set; }

    public IEnumerable<Category> Categories { get; set; }
}

public class ItemSetting
{
    public int Data { get; set; }
}

public class Category
{
    public string Name { get; set; }
}

[UseFiltering]
public IEnumerable<Item> GetItems()
{
    return [
        new Item
        {
            Id = 1,
            ItemSetting = new ItemSetting
            {
                Data = 123
            },
            Categories = [ new Category
            {
                Name = "Cat1"
            }]
        },
        new Item
        {
            Id = 2,
            ItemSetting = null,
            Categories = [ new Category
            {
                Name = "Cat2"
            }]
        }
    ];
}

触发异常的查询 #

query { items(where: {categories_some: {name: "Cat1"}, itemSetting: {data: 123}}) { id itemSetting { data } categories { name } } }

错误信息 #

无异常的查询（调整条件顺序后） #

items(where: { itemSetting: {data: 123}, categories_some: {name: "Cat1"}})
