- And a data-lineage pipeline (Airflow/dbt) is a literal DAG where a practitioner who internalized "a change invalidates exactly its forward closure" immediately knows which downstream tables a source-schema change forces to refresh.

dbt documentation says a DAG visualizes lineage and shows which downstream models a change affects, but not the forward-closure invalidation or Airflow claims.
“How would you know which models are potentially impacted by this change? Look at your DAG and understand model dependencies to mitigate downstream impacts with testing and observability.”

Verification¶
Does it exist? Not checked yet. This entry carries no identifier to resolve. It was extracted from the citation as written in the article, normalized, and deduplicated against the rest of the registry.
Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 1 of 1 citation: 1 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
