dbt — Data, Analytics product updates and releases, tracked on megachangelog.
Added Lake Compute support for reading AWS Databricks Unity Catalog tables with PAT/OAuth M2M credentials. Fixed multiple issues including modules.re keyword argument handling, column-tag diffs in Databricks, and test config inheritance from dbt-core.
