update to latest major version of dbt-core and dbt-snowflake

[summer-mothwood]

Need to be on 1.8 to set/test the new flags in Dev. Is this all I need to do in the code to trigger this update (in addition to setting the version in the environment)?

You also need to update the poetry.lock as part of the process. Taking a closer look, I think I might have also made a mistake with the previous version specifier (I think we want ~1.8 rather than ~1.8.0)

So a single command to update both the pyproject.toml and the poetry.lock would be:

poetry add "dbt-core@~1.8" "@dbt-snowflake@~1.8"

Of course, if we adopt uv instead of poetry, it would be a different (but similar!) command

@ian-r-rose I ended up doing the following:

• manually changed the versions of the dbt-core and dbt-snowflake packages to ~1.8 in pyproject.toml
• ran poetry lock locally on this branch to update the poetry lock file
• staged and committed the poetry lock file changes

If that all looks right, I'll add these instructions to our docs as well.

I couldn't get poetry add "dbt-core@~1.8" "@dbt-snowflake@~1.8" to run on a clean branch, as I kept getting an error on the dbt-snowflake package:

Whoops, just a typo in that I added an extra @ symbol in my comment above. Your changes look good to me!
