- **added** — Special characters are now allowed in team owners for jobs, schedules, and sensors
- **added** — Added kinds tags and icons for Microsoft Fabric and OneLake
- **changed** — The BigQuery, Snowflake, and DuckDB I/O managers now skip the table write when an asset returns an empty DataFrame, logging a warning instead

###### New

- Special characters are now allowed in team `owners` for jobs, schedules, and sensors. (Thanks, [@dragos-pop](https://github.com/dragos-pop)!)
- Added `kinds` tags and icons for Microsoft Fabric and OneLake. (Thanks, [@MartyP233](https://github.com/MartyP233)!)
- The BigQuery, Snowflake, and DuckDB I/O managers now skip the table write when an asset returns an empty DataFrame, logging a warning instead. This prevents incorrect type inference and degenerate tables for empty partitions.
- [ui] The per-code-location "Docs" tab is now "Components", with its content available under a "Library" subtab. Existing `/docs` links continue to work via redirect.
- [dagster-aws] The EMR PySpark step launcher now honors a configured S3 job package path.
- [dagster-cloud] `code_server.*` metrics now carry a `server_instance_id` tag identifying the underlying gRPC server process. For multi-replica code locations, the tag identifies whichever replica answered the most recent metrics ping.

###### Bugfixes

- `InstigationLogger` now stringifies log record attributes that are not JSON-serializable instead of failing to emit the log. (Thanks, [@jonaslb](https://github.com/jonaslb)!)
- Fixed a SQL injection vulnerability in `dagster-clickhouse`, `dagster-clickhouse-pandas`, and `dagster-clickhouse-polars` when using dynamic partition keys. ClickHouse partition queries now bind partition key values as driver parameters instead of interpolating them into SQL strings.
- Fixed an issue where tag values in component YAML files were not coerced correctly.
- [dg] `dg labs ai dispatch` no longer writes a `plan.md` artifact into version control.
- [dg] Fixed an error that occurred when using `TypedDict`-typed fields in component configuration.
- [ui] Fixed partition step status labels and squares that rendered incorrectly after the CSS Modules migration.
- [ui] Fixed backfill progress not reaching 100% until all runs had completed.
- [dagster-databricks] Fixed Databricks workspace job list pagination and added retries for rate-limit responses.
- [dagster-dbt] Fixed `DbtProject.prepare()` to always run `dbt deps` when dependency files are present.
- [dagster-dbt] Fixed YAML-based translation in `DbtProjectComponent` subclasses to also translate dependency keys.
- [dagster-dbt] Fixed an issue where dbt unit tests could be ignored unexpectedly.
- [dagster-dbt] Fixed incorrect asset key translation when generating column lineage with `DbtProjectComponent`.
- [dagster-dbt] Fixed unbounded recursive copying of the `.local_defs_state()` directory when a dbt project was located at the repository root.
- [dagster-cloud-cli] Fixed `dg plus deploy` failing with `No module named pip` in `uv`-managed environments.
- [dagster-cloud-cli] Removed an overly strict dependency-file check from the Docker deploy path.
