dbt-core v1.12.0b3

Added 1

Add a `direct_parents` attribute to model nodes carrying the nearest public ancestors only, and emit it in `dbt ls --output=json` for models

Fixed 3

Allow for setting of OSI documents directory as project config
Support lowercase "osi" directory
Make the latest_version_pointer collision check quoting/case aware so an unquoted latest-version alias differing from the pointer name only by case is correctly detected on case-insensitive warehouses

Allow for setting of OSI documents directory as project config (#13088)
Support lowercase "osi" directory (#13087)
Add a direct_parents attribute to model nodes carrying the nearest public ancestors only, and emit it in dbt ls --output=json for models. Lineage consumers can now render DAG edges from direct_parents instead of depends_on.nodes, which carries the full transitive closure across plugin boundaries (still required for node selection and cycle detection). The new attribute is runtime-only and is stripped during manifest serialization, so the manifest.json contract is unchanged. (#)
Make the latest_version_pointer collision check quoting/case aware so an unquoted latest-version alias differing from the pointer name only by case is correctly detected on case-insensitive warehouses (#15210)
