[Tracking] dbt-doris adapter: issues, features & bug-fix progress

## Background

`dbt-doris` is the official [dbt](https://www.getdbt.com/) adapter for Apache Doris, located in [`extension/dbt-doris/`](https://github.com/apache/doris/tree/master/extension/dbt-doris). It lets users build, test, and orchestrate data transformation models on Doris using dbt. The adapter is currently at **v1.0.0** and supports the `view`, `table`, and `incremental` materializations, with `persist_docs`, cross-database relations, and dbt-core 1.10.

This is an **umbrella / tracking issue** to consolidate dbt-related work — bug fixes, feature requests, and upstream-compatibility maintenance — so contributors and maintainers have a single place to see status and pick up work. Please comment below to add items or volunteer.

## Open bugs & compatibility breakage

Keeping pace with upstream `dbt-core` / `dbt-adapters` is the main source of breakage.

- [x] **#60780** — Adapter tests are broken: `pytest-logbook` mismatches `logbook`, **and** `dbt-tests-adapter` moved from `dbt-labs/dbt-core` to `dbt-labs/dbt-adapters`. Blocks any new contributor from running the test suite. → fix in **PR #64929** *(open, needs review)*
- [ ] **PR #60779** — `dbt docs generate` / `dbt docs serve` fail with `get_catalog() takes 2 positional arguments but 3 were given` after an upstream signature change. *(open, needs review — stalled since Mar 2026)*

## Open feature requests

- [x] **#65967** — Support **async materialized views** as a dbt materialization (`materialized_view` type → `CREATE MATERIALIZED VIEW ... REFRESH ... AS`). *(no PR yet — help wanted)*
- [ ] **#60455** — Allow setting **session variables** on the dbt connection. → implemented in **PR #61054** *(open, needs review — stalled since Mar 2026)*

## Open pull requests awaiting review

| PR | Summary | Closes |
|----|---------|--------|
| **#64929** | Fix broken test dependencies (dbt-tests-adapter URL + logbook pin) | #60780 |
| **#61054** | Add optional `session_variables` to Doris connections | #60455 |
| **#60779** | Use default adapter `get_catalog` so `dbt docs` works again | — |

## Recently completed (last ~12 months)

- [x] **PR #53448** — Support **dbt-core 1.10**.
- [x] **PR #64928** — Fix insecure Python dependency pins in `dbt-doris`, `doris-compose`, and `cost_model` (CVE hardening).
