The default DBT behaviour is to materialize models as views which do not support
constraints, onlydata tests.However, we don't want to assume a default DBT model type if none is specified in the contract and so the DBT exporter defaults to the more permissive
data testsrather thanconstraints, and does not include themodels[].config.materializedkey in the DBT output.This has no impact on data contracts that specify the
model.typein the model object.
