feat(cli): node selection for compile - #26
Merged
Conversation
…tions) `compile` now accepts the same selection flags as `run`/`build` (--actions, --tags, --include-deps, --include-dependents) and prunes the compiled graph before printing, mirroring dbt's `compile --select`. The whole project still compiles (ref() resolution needs every action registered); this only filters the printed output. A clean graph is pruned when a selector is present; on compile errors the full graph + errors print unchanged. A selector matching nothing emits an empty graph and exits 0, matching prune's run-side behavior. Reuses the existing prune() and the shared yargs option definitions — no proto changes. Adds a `compile node selection` test suite over an upstream->midstream->downstream project covering each flag, empty matches, and the "--include-deps without a selector is rejected" validation.

Summary
Adds node selection to
compile, mirroringdbt compile --select.compilenow accepts the same selection flags asrun/build—--actions,--tags,--include-deps,--include-dependents— and filters the printed graph to just the selected action(s):How it works
This is output filtering, not partial compilation. The whole project must still compile (
ref()resolution and the dependency graph require every action registered), so we compile fully and then prune the result before printing — reusing the existing, battle-testedprune()thatrun/buildalready use, plus the shared yargs option definitions. No proto changes.prune's run-side behavior.--include-deps/--include-dependentsretain their existing validation (only valid alongside--actions/--tags).Tests
