nit: don't use dynamic casts to any and and just statically list all unsupported types following this pattern

Sorry, I didn't notice tests are failing with YAML require failed run_core: VMError: Cannot find module './workflow_settings.yaml' before approving.
Can you please rebase on the latest HEAD? I think this error is not related to your changes and was fixed in the latest version
Putting a .sqlx file under the ``filename`` field of an entry in ``definitions/actions.yaml`` used to fall through to ``nativeRequire``, which then failed with a cryptic error far from the source of the mistake. ``actions.yaml`` is for plain ``.sql`` files; ``.sqlx`` files are loaded directly from the ``definitions/`` directory by the sqlx compiler. Add an explicit validation step in ``loadActionConfigs`` that runs before each action is constructed. If the action's ``filename`` ends in ``.sqlx`` (case-insensitive), emit a ``compileError`` naming the action type, the offending filename, and pointing at the fix. The action is then skipped so we don't double-up with a downstream ``nativeRequire`` error. The check covers ``table``, ``view``, ``incrementalTable``, ``assertion``, ``operation``, ``declaration`` and ``notebook``. Data preparations are intentionally excluded because they support ``.dp.sqlx`` files via their own dedicated loader. Closes dataform-co#1785

No problem at all @kolina, just rebased onto the latest main. Lmk if it's still something. |

Problem
Referencing a
.sqlxfile fromdefinitions/actions.yaml(e.g.) is unsupported, but the existing code path doesn't say so. The
Table/View/etc. constructor reachesnativeRequire(config.filename).query, which fails with aCannot find module 'definitions/my_table.sqlx'(or equivalently obscure) error far from the actual mistake. As Ekrekr noted on the issue, "this results in strange compilation behavior, and can cause cryptic errors."Fix
Validate filenames at the
loadActionConfigsentry point, before the action is constructed. For each action config sub-message that exposes afilenamefield —table,view,incrementalTable,assertion,operation,declaration,notebook— iffilenameends in.sqlx(case-insensitive), emit asession.compileErrornaming the action type, the offending filename, and the remediation (use.sql, or rely on Dataform's automatic.sqlxdiscovery). The action is then skipped so a downstreamnativeRequireerror doesn't fire on top.dataPreparationis intentionally excluded: it supports.dp.sqlxfiles via its own loader (core/actions/data_preparation.ts).Test plan
Added one new test suite to
core/main_test.ts(".sqlx filenames in actions.yaml are rejected with a clear error") covering:filename: table.SQLX).dataPreparationwith a.dp.sqlxfilename does not trigger this validation.tslint --project .passes locally. I wasn't able to runbazel test //core/...locally (a@npm//@bazel/typescript:index.bzlloading error intools/ts_library.bzlagainst bazel 5.4.0 on my machine), so the unit tests will be exercised by CI here.Scope

core/, +16/-5).Files touched
