`Rocky`: Rust SQL control plane adds branches, replay, and compiler-level lineage

A warehouse-native DAG control plane is taking shape around governance, lineage, and replay instead of replacing storage or compute. Worth testing if dbt feels too thin and full platforms feel too heavy.

[ KEY POINTS ]
  1. Databricks is GA; Snowflake and BigQuery are Beta; DuckDB is for local dev, so real multi-warehouse coverage already exists.
  2. rocky branch create and rocky replay <run_id> bring Git-like branching and run reconstruction to SQL pipelines, which is useful for safer changes and audits.
  3. Lineage comes from the compiler, tracing columns through joins, CTEs, and windows; that is stricter than post-hoc graph crawling and easier to trust.
  4. Governance landed end-to-end in engine-v1.16.0 and v1.17.4 on 2026-04-26: masking, classification, 8-field audit trails, compliance rollups, and retention checks.
  5. Per-run model cost, budget blocks in rocky.toml, and portability lints across 4 warehouses push it toward a serious control plane, not just a SQL runner.
