Release notes:

What's Changed

Features

• Add support for hard_deletes='new_record' in snapshot materializations, enabling tracking of deleted source records with dedicated deletion records marked by dbt_is_deleted column (thanks @randypitcherii!) (#1176, #1263)
• Implements complete support for all three hard_deletes modes: ignore (default), invalidate, and new_record
• new_record mode creates deletion records with actual source column values and dbt_is_deleted=true for full audit trail
• invalidate mode uses Delta Lake's WHEN NOT MATCHED BY SOURCE clause to set dbt_valid_to on deleted records
• Uses Databricks native BOOLEAN type for dbt_is_deleted column for improved type safety and performance

Fixes

• Fix bug that was applying UniForm tblproperties on managed Iceberg tables, causing materializations to fail
• Switch to a more reliable mechanism for checking schema existence (forward-ported from 1.10.15) (1261)

Under the hood

• Add validation for query tag value length and auto-escape special characters
• Add @@ prefix to system query tag keys (to keep them separate from user provided tags)
