Why

Relative project directories changed declaration consumer paths and made valid private macros appear inaccessible. Contract generation also rejected valid YAML where source column sequences used indentless list syntax.

Changes

• normalize explicit project directories before command dispatch so relative paths retain declaration scope ownership
• support valid indentless YAML sequences when updating source contract columns
• preserve existing source and column metadata while adding physical types and missing columns

Verification

• uv sync --all-extras
• uv run pytest tests/integration/src/sqlbuild/cli/commands/main/test_compile.py tests/integration/src/sqlbuild/cli/commands/main/test_contract_command.py -n auto --dist loadfile (16 passed)
• make check-ci
• cache-free static compile of a downstream 974-model project through a relative --project-dir (0 errors, 0 warnings)
• public repository hygiene scan
