lakeFS Isolated Lakehouse Branching and Atomic Merge Gate

id: lakefs-branch-isolated-etl-and-merge-gate
namespace: company.data

description: |
  Automated Write-Audit-Publish (WAP) data lakehouse pipeline using lakeFS.
  Creates an ephemeral isolated data branch on S3/GCS, writes and validates incoming batch partitions,
  enforces schema and data contract quality gates, and executes an atomic zero-copy merge into main upon pass.
