Description
## Goal
Compare dbt Core `dbt-duckdb` vs dbt Fusion DuckDB behavior for external materialization workflows.
## Experiment
Cover:
- writing Parquet output via external materialization
- a partitioned output case
- re-reading upstream external models, including `register_upstream_external_models()`-style flow where applicable
## Why this matters
External materialization is one of the adapter's distinctive workflow features.
## Success criteria
- Equivalent external model workflows operate in both engines, or
- a minimal repro isolates the Fusion gap
## Notes
Exclude static-analysis / `SQL_understanding` concerns from scope.
