### Implementation hints https://github.com/dbt-labs/dbt-core/pull/4773 _might_ have some ideas for implementation.

@graciegoheen and I discussed this last week, and we were wondering: - How does `--favor-state` currently treat each of the non-model resource types that can be referenced (snapshots, seeds, and...

### Backstory From convo with @jtcohen6: Currently, deferral only works on [non-ephemeral](https://docs.getdbt.com/docs/build/materializations#ephemeral), ["refable"](https://github.com/dbt-labs/dbt-core/blob/2b23a038d475aae8d8b1ecc46b4b6d2ae363e342/core/dbt/node_types.py#L18-L22) nodes.

Since 100 was intentionally added as a limit, I'm going to leave this as a feature request for now. But that's a very legit point that having more than 100...

Per conversation with @graciegoheen, we're interested in two things: 1. https://github.com/dbt-labs/dbt-core/issues/9506 2. Post-processing the result of catalog queries to _only_ include the selected nodes (see [#9394 (comment)](https://github.com/dbt-labs/dbt-core/issues/9394#issuecomment-1908677418)) I've created a...

For convenience, here's links to the two implementation tickets: 1. https://github.com/dbt-labs/dbt-core/issues/9506 2. https://github.com/dbt-labs/dbt-core/issues/9666
