A parse failure on a line holding {{ or {% now carries help to compile
the model with dbt and check the SQL under target/compiled, since
Snowflake does not parse Jinja either.

Closing: SQLQuack lands through local-gate trains, not PR merges (D94), so open PRs only add clutter (D628/D630). The branch is kept. Any work here that isn't on main yet is tracked by the train owner and lands through a train. |

Why
Readers paste uncompiled dbt models, such as
{{ ref('stg_orders') }}, and get only the parser's message ("Expected Colon, got RBrace"), which doesn't say what to do.Changes
{{or{%now carries help: "this looks like uncompiled dbt Jinja; rundbt compileand check the SQL it writes under target/compiled". Snowflake rejects the SQL too, so only the help changes.Verification
sqlquack checkshows the help on a pasted model.
