Inventory a Databricks project's features from the repo before claiming them in a writeup

When a user asks what Databricks features their project uses (for a post or resume), derive the list from the repo instead of memory. Quick checks:

- databricks.yml: bundle resources (jobs, dashboards), targets, schedule, serverless environments, dbt_task, warehouse lookup. - Notebooks: grep -E "CREATE VOLUME|/Volumes/|saveAsTable|spark.read|mlflow\." shows Unity Catalog volumes, Delta writes and MLflow usage. - dbt: grep -r materialized finds incremental models; incremental_strategy="merge" on Databricks means a Delta MERGE.

This turned up two features the draft post had missed: the native dbt_task, which runs dbt build inside the job with no dbt Cloud, and an incremental Delta MERGE for daily label edits.
