this command supports fal selectors

this command ignores artifacts runs all before scripts by default.

See example 1 below for config design. | M | Nothing | Done | | | | 2) Introduce fal flow command | Invoke fal flow with all dbt cli params, with no regression in dbt * behavior. This should also work for all other dbt commands, dbt test, build ect.. probably for now it is just a pass through for fal and it runs fal run as we know of today

example: fal flow run -—select modela

runs: dbt run —-select modela && fal run

(today, fal scripts look at the artifacts so this only runs fal run under the hood..)

dont support this yet in this step: fal flow run -select script | M | Nothing | Done | | | | 3) Introduce ability to add before scripts in fal flow | Same as “Introduce fal flow command” but this time invoke fal run --before before the dbt run command

example: fal flow run -—select modela

example runs: fal run —-before -—select modela && dbt run -—select modela && fal run

dont support this yet in this step: fal flow run -select scripty now we need to understand what to do and rewrite the dbt command | M | 1, 2 | Done | | | | 4) Create internal representation of the whole dag including fal scripts | Create a data structure that represents the whole dag. for example I can find out the children of a script or parents of a sql node including before scripts.

Similar to how we wrap other dbt data structures we can wrap the dbt graph created internally and add additional functionality

This will unlock usecases such as starting the dag with just a fal script, for example fal flow run --select scriptA+ should keep running the dbt nodes after the origin fal script is done. | M | Nothing | Done | | | | 5) Make fal flow work with script selectors | example: fal flow run —select +terminalscript

example runs: val [modelA, modelB] = find parents of terminalScript.py val [before1, before2] = ask graph for before scripts of terminalScript.py

fal run —before —select before1 before2 dbt run --select +modelc +modelB fal run

example fal flow run —select originScript+

example runs: val [modelA, modelB, .. ] = find first children of originscript.py

fal run —before originScript dbt run —select modelA+ modelB+ fal run
