When the dbt Cloud Maturity is "TBD," it means we have not yet determined the exact date when these flags' default values will change. Affected users will see deprecation warnings in the meantime, and they will receive emails providing advance warning ahead of the maturity date. In the meantime, if you are seeing a deprecation warning, you can either:
- Migrate your project to support the new behavior, and then set the flag to `True` to stop seeing the warnings.

Set the `source_freshness_run_project_hooks` flag to `True` to include "project hooks" ([`on-run-start` / `on-run-end`](/reference/project-configs/on-run-start-on-run-end)) in the `dbt source freshness` command execution.

### MetricFlow time spine YAML
The `require_yaml_configuration_for_mf_time_spines` flag is set to `False` by default.

Set the flag to `True` to require YAML configuration for MetricFlow time spine file for dbt Cloud Versionless or dbt Core 1.9 and later. In previous versions (dbt Core 1.8 and earlier), the MetricFlow time spine configuration was stored in a `metricflow_time_spine.sql` file.

When the flag is set to `True`, dbt will continue to support the SQL file configuration. When the flag is set to `False`, dbt will raise a deprecation warning if it detects a MetricFlow time spine configured in a SQL file.

The MetricFlow YAML file should be named `models/_models.yml` and should be located in the `models` directory.

I think the model can be named anything as long as it has the time_spine: field. Maybe we just link to the v1.9 docs here?
