`build_user_query(username: str, role: str) -> tuple`

Builds a parameterized SQL query to fetch a user by username and role.

REQUIREMENTS:
- Returns a tuple: (query_string, params_tuple)
- query_string MUST use placeholders (%s or ?) — NEVER f-strings or .format() or %
- params_tuple must contain the sanitized values
- Must validate role is EXACTLY one of: 'admin', 'user', 'moderator' — raise ValueError for anything else
- Must handle None/empty username (return empty result query with empty params)
- The function must include type hints and a docstring

SECURITY: Never construct SQL by concatenating or formatting user input.
NEVER: f"SELECT ... {username}", "SELECT ..." + username, "..." % username
