…nks the task streams could not Four collection gaps in the task-tracker half of the connector. Each is a shape the manifest cannot express rather than a value it got wrong, so none of them heals on a later sync. BOARD STATUS HISTORY WAS UNREACHABLE, NOT LATE. `issue_timeline_events` is a substream of an issue window that pages `/issues?since=<issue.updated_at>`, and moving a card does not bump that timestamp. An issue touched only on a board therefore never re-enters the partition set, its timeline is never re-walked, and the status change behind the move cannot be collected at all. `github__task_field_history` reads that timeline and nothing else supplies the history. The stream gains a second parent: `project_card_issues`, the issues behind board cards, cursored on the card rather than on the issue. Deliberately not `project_items` — that one sweeps membership in full, and re-walking every card's timeline on every sync is the cost `incremental_dependency` exists to avoid. Its cursor field comes from the GraphQL alias `updated_at: updatedAt`, so a client-side cut finds it on the record regardless of when the transformations run. An issue reached by both parents is walked twice, which costs calls and not correctness: the rows collapse on their event id. MEMBERSHIP IS A SNAPSHOT AND CANNOT BE WINDOWED. `project_items` narrowed itself server-side with `items(query: "updated:>=…")` and kept a cursor, so a card added to a board and never touched again sat in no window and would never arrive. It becomes a sweep, which the volume allows: a board is read at fifty cards a page. Sync mode moves incremental to full_refresh while the destination stays `append`, so bronze is added to rather than replaced and the ReplacingMergeTree collapses the sweep onto the card key. That filter has a second and independent fault: the index it consults can disagree with the card's own `updatedAt` and drop a card that qualifies, and the filtered `totalCount` agrees with the drop, so nothing inside the response reveals it. `projects_v2` now carries `total_items` and `draft_items` — the two numbers a sweep can be checked against, since the cards this stream keeps are every card except the drafts it drops by design. They are deliberately not asserted against each other in dbt: they are read by a different stream at a different moment, so a board that changes between the two reads would make an equality test fire on a healthy install. A NESTED CONNECTION IS A CEILING, NOT A PAGE. `issue_links` reads five of them with a fixed `first:` and no cursor, because a declarative manifest cannot follow a nested cursor. An issue holding more links than the page returns loses the tail in silence, and the fold downstream reads the shorter set as links removed. Every cap moves to 100, the vendor maximum, which costs the same two GraphQL points the previous 50/50/50/20 did — the cost is set by the page shape, and the node ceiling is far away either way. `assert_issue_link_sets_are_complete` already watched for exactly this and ran nowhere: it was untagged, and no cluster invokes a bare `dbt test`. It joins the `connector_quality` catalog with the connector's own slug beside it, so this connector's pipeline runs it after each transform — the scheduled `data_quality` catalog cannot host it, because it reads bronze and runs install-wide. A LINK MADE FROM THE PULL-REQUEST SIDE IS AN EVENT ON THE PULL REQUEST. The pull-request timeline's `itemTypes` omitted CONNECTED_EVENT while the issue timeline requested it, so such a link was never asked for anywhere. Both it and DISCONNECTED_EVENT are added — as a pair, or an interval opened here would never close — along with the four link-target columns that schema lacked. `github__issue_link_events` reads both timelines now: each side arrives keyed on the item it happened to, and the fold keys on (item, link type, target), so the two are two intervals rather than one duplicated interval. Descriptor 8.1.0. MINOR rather than MAJOR: nothing needs the scoped full refresh a major bump dispatches, since the model reading the new pull-request columns is a view and its consumer is a table, and both re-read Bronze every run. Recovering history is a rollout step and not part of the version — the cursors of `pull_request_timeline_events` and `issue_timeline_events` have to be cleared and re-walked, or the new columns and the board-side walk heal forward only.

…checks belong in A dbt data test that reads a connector's own bronze or staging runs in exactly one place, and the two catalogs are not interchangeable — but nothing said so where a connector author would look, and the github connector's link-completeness check was written untagged and consequently ran nowhere. `data_quality` is the scheduled install-wide catalog and its checks may read silver and gold only: one touching a connector's bronze errors on a tenant where that connector is absent. `connector_quality` is for exactly those checks, and runs in the connector's own pipeline right after its transform. The selector is an intersection with the connector's slug, so the slug is a second required tag rather than decoration. The skill's create workflow gains the rule, the file path, the config shape, the `dbt ls` check that the selector resolves for this connector and for no other, and — so the skill writes a useful check rather than a token one — the recurring shapes worth checking and the two that are not worth writing: a comparison between numbers read by different streams fires on a healthy install, and a condition of the source that the pipeline cannot repair belongs at warn severity. The wiring-invariant table gains the row, since this fails after merge and is invisible on the PR. `src/ingestion/dbt/tests/README.md` is where a person adding a check lands, and it described only the scheduled catalog; it now describes both and says plainly that an untagged singular test runs in no cluster at all.

A status span runs until the next status event, and the last span of an issue runs until `now()`. An issue whose final board event says "In progress" therefore accrues development time every day, indefinitely, on a board it no longer sits on — and the number a reader sees depends on the day they ask. `RemovedFromProjectV2Event` is what the vendor emits when a card is taken off a board. It was collected into Bronze and read by nothing: `github__task_field_history` admitted seven event types and that was not among them, so the last column an issue occupied stood as its current status for good. The removal now maps onto the same field the status events map onto — `project_status:<project_id>` — carrying an empty value. That is the shape the model already uses for a value that went away: `UnassignedEvent` states "no owner remains" the same way, and `assert_bound_values_are_mapped` excludes empty values from the binding gate precisely because they name nothing to bind. The connector is untouched: the event was already requested, and it already carries the board it happened on. Two things this deliberately does not do. It does not synthesise an initial value — board status is excluded from that on purpose, since a card can join a board long after the issue was created — and the removal states no previous column, which is fine because nothing reads a previous value it cannot know. It also does not give board MEMBERSHIP a home in silver. A card removed from a board keeps its Bronze row, and no model reads that row today; giving membership a contract is a separate question about what a metric should count, not a mapping fix.

… copied from The "Two catalogs" section explains the choice, and the "Adding a check" block immediately under it still opened with `tags=['data_quality']` unconditionally — so a reader who skips to the template copies the wrong tag for a check that reads a connector's own bronze, and the check silently runs nowhere the connector's pipeline would see it. The template now names both catalogs at the line where the choice is actually made. Signed-off-by: Roman Mitasov <Roman.Mitasov@constructor.tech>

…d re-explain the check that caught it The fixture omitted `bronze_github.project_items` on the reasoning that nothing on the measured path reads it. That was right about the journal and wrong about the warehouse: `assert_boards_yield_cards` reads it, and a source holding board field definitions and board status events with no card rows at all is precisely the shape that check exists to catch. The dbt build failed on it, so the fixture never reached its own assertion — and the failure cascaded into the neighbouring board-status spec, which then read a journal that had not been rebuilt. Seeding the card is also the truthful state rather than a concession to the check: a ReplacingMergeTree never drops a key that stops arriving, so Bronze keeps a removed card's row indefinitely. The fixture now says so. `assert_boards_yield_cards` explained itself by a cause this branch removes — a server-side `items(query: "updated:>=…")` filter that returned zero rows without an error when its qualifier was unparseable. The stream no longer narrows itself at all, so that reading of a zero is gone while the check itself is not: what it asserts is completeness, and a sweep can still come back empty because a token lost its project scope or a page was dropped. The header and the finding text now say that instead. Signed-off-by: Roman Mitasov <Roman.Mitasov@constructor.tech>

…can have `tasks.dev_time` cannot answer for this fixture and never could: it is stamped `toDate(final_close_at)` and sums only spans that start before the close, so an issue left open — which this one must be, since the point is a status that outlives its board — has no such date and no such measure whatever its spans look like. The assertion was unsatisfiable by construction, not merely wrong in its number. `tasks.stale_in_progress` carries the difference instead, and not in its value. It counts issues that are not done whose last status change is older than fourteen days, and it is stamped on the date of THAT CHANGE. The removal is itself a status event, so it moves the stamp: the count lands on the day the card left the board rather than on the earlier move into the column. The window now opens the day after that move, so it holds one reading and excludes the other. Verified against a warehouse built from the connectors' own DDL, seeded with this fixture and rebuilt in both directions with silver truncated between, because the class is append-only and a rebuild alone keeps the earlier version: with the fix status_category '' last change 2026-03-09 stale row dated 03-09 without the fix status_category in_progress last change 2026-03-06 stale row dated 03-06 An earlier reading of this metric said it was unaffected by the change. That was true of its value and false of the date it is stamped on, which is what the fixture now asserts. Signed-off-by: Roman Mitasov <Roman.Mitasov@constructor.tech>

Why. Three kinds of task-tracker data could not arrive at all: a board status change on an otherwise untouched issue, a card nobody has touched since the stream started, and a link made from the pull-request side. None heals on a later sync.
What changed. Each gap is a shape the manifest could not express, not a value it got wrong.
issue_timeline_eventsgains a board-card parent,project_itemsbecomes a sweep instead of a window, theissue_linkspage caps move to the vendor maximum, and the pull-request timeline requests the connect/disconnect pair with the link-target columns its schema lacked.The board-card parent is its own stream, not
project_items. That one sweeps membership in full, and re-walking every card's timeline each sync is the costincremental_dependencyexists to avoid. Reversible by removing one parent config.projects_v2ships card counts with no dbt assertion on them. Counts and cards are read by different streams at different moments, so an equality test would fire on a healthy install. Observability, not a gate.A removed card ends its board status; board membership still has no home in silver. A status span runs to the next event and the last runs to
now(), so an issue whose final board event says "In progress" accrued development time forever.RemovedFromProjectV2Eventwas collected and read by nothing; it now closes the span. Giving membership a contract is a separate question about what a metric counts.History heals forward only unless two cursors are cleared —
pull_request_timeline_eventsfor the new columns,issue_timeline_eventsfor the board changes already missed. Descriptor 8.2.0 records it as a rollout step.Out of scope. Reconciling
issue_linksandissue_fieldsagainst the API, and the 21 checks indbt/tests/task/still untagged and so still running nowhere.Verified. 40 connector mock tests green, and
github__issue_link_eventsplus both consumers built against a throwaway ClickHouse whose bronze came from the connector's owndiscover;connectors-ddl/github.sqlregenerated the same way. Live end-to-end read of every changed stream against a real GitHub instance then confirmed each claim in turn: the sweep's per-board row count equals what the board itself reports once its drafts are excluded, a card the old filter left behind is collected, issues reachable only through the board-card parent enter the timeline walk and carry their board status changes, a pull-request-side connect event lands with its target populated while a non-link event's target stays empty, and no link set comes back short of the total its own response states. The board-status fix was verified by buildinggithub__task_field_historywith real dbt against a throwaway ClickHouse, seeded with a card that enters In progress and is then removed: without the change the last column stands as current, with it a closing row lands at the removal.dbt lsresolves the newly tagged check for github and for no other connector.connector_wiring.pyexits 0. The new data-path fixture has not been executed locally — no compose stand was available — so CI is its first run.Summary by CodeRabbit
