Essential Rules (Retain in Working Memory)

After reading this skill, retain these 5 rules and release the full content:

1. Extract, Don't Generate — all table/column/function names from YAML or source files, never from memory
2. CLUSTER BY AUTO — every managed table, every layer
3. CDF + Row Tracking — delta.enableChangeDataFeed and delta.enableRowTracking on every table
4. Serverless + notebook_task — every job uses environments: block, notebook_task:, base_parameters:
5. Comments + Tags on everything — tables, columns, workflows, metric views, functions
