September 2025 highlights for dbt-labs/metricflow: - Replaced the legacy resolver with the Semantic Graph Resolver as the core path, completing a major refactor of measure lookup and group-by naming. Achieved >100x faster initialization on complex manifests and added robust detection for ambiguous join paths to ensure deterministic results. - Centralized measure-related logic into MeasureLookup and renamed group-by item classes, enabling a cleaner migration path from measure -> simple metric and reducing long-term maintenance debt. - Migrated correctness and performance tests to the SG-based resolver, cleaned up test manifests (including booking_value definitions), and aligned dependencies. Added tests for cyclic joins in group-by paths to prevent infinite loops. - Enhanced developer tooling and release governance: added a SessionReport text-table formatter for profiling, ported changelogs, updated licenses, and introduced CI checks to validate release notes. Deprecated components (LegacyLinkableSpecResolver, LinkableElementSet) were removed as part of cleanup.
