## Frequently asked questions

### Does this workflow upload data to a warehouse automatically?

No. It prepares and checks artifacts such as SQL, Parquet, NDJSON, or a CSV pack. Database execution, bucket upload, credentials, transactions, and production scheduling remain the responsibility of the receiving pipeline.

### How should I prove that an incremental run did not lose rows?

Store the cursor or watermark with the batch ID, compare source, accepted, duplicate, rejected, and exported counts, and rerun a small overlap window when the source can change. Treat any unexplained difference as a review failure instead of advancing the cursor.

### Is the generated JSON Schema a guarantee of data quality?

No. It is inferred from the selected headers and examples and should be reviewed against business types, null rules, and keys. A schema can describe a malformed or incomplete sample if the sample was not representative.

### What happens when one sheet in a multi-source batch is invalid?

Keep the raw source and lineage record, isolate or reject the affected sheet or rows according to the project policy, and do not label the merged output complete until the count and field discrepancy is resolved.
