+"""
+Warns dbt users about potential diffs due to corrected data_type handling.
+
+SQLMesh previously treated dbt's schema.yml data_type field as columns_to_types, which
+doesn't match dbt's behavior. dbt only uses data_type for contracts/validation, not DDL.
+This fix may cause diffs if tables were created with incorrect types.
+
+More context: https://github.com/TobikoData/sqlmesh/pull/5231
