+class BatchOperationAnalyzer:
+    """
+    Analyzes batch operations to detect incompatible mixing BEFORE execution.
+
+    Background:
+    -----------
+    When using BatchHttpRequest with Google Drive API, mixing certain operations
+    causes a 400 error with message "This API does not support batching".
+
+    This class detects these incompatibilities proactively, allowing developers
+    to handle them gracefully (e.g., split into separate batches).
+
+    Methodology:
+    -----------
+    Based on real-world testing with 200+ daily requests in production AI agent.
+    Developed through systematic analysis of batch failures in PupiBot.
+
+    Example:
+    --------
+    >>> operations = [
+    ...     {'method': 'files.modifyLabels', 'fileId': '123'},
+    ...     {'method': 'files.update', 'fileId': '456'}
+    ... ]
+    >>> result = BatchOperationAnalyzer.analyze_batch(operations)
+    >>> print(result['compatible'])
+    False
+    >>> print(result['warning'])
+    'Incompatible mixing detected: files.modifyLabels + files.update'
+    """
