We have deployed a fix for an issue with a SQL parsing library that dbt-core depends on, which introduced a security patch that limited the complexity of SQL statements it processes. This issue caused some dbt projects to fail during compilation.

The fix has been successfully applied, and compilation behavior has returned to normal. We are continuing to monitor the system to ensure stability.
