Review Comment:
   The test name and docstring promise that the pipeline fails closed on an 
ambiguous Bullet reference, but it only calls `_normalize_column_names` 
directly. This new `except ValueError` branch (the `AMBIGUOUS_COLUMN_REFERENCE` 
result) is never exercised: with `Region`/`region` both in the dataset and a 
dimension of `rEgIoN`, removing this handler would surface 
`validation_system_error` and the current test would still pass. Could you add 
a `validate_request_with_warnings` case asserting `is_valid is False` and 
`error_code == "AMBIGUOUS_COLUMN_REFERENCE"`?

Review Comment:
   A partial Bullet update can swap the measure for a dimension. For a saved 
Bullet grouped by `year`, updating only the metric to 
`{"name":"revenue","aggregate":"SUM","label":"year"}` (no `dimensions`) drops 
the saved `groupby` from this validation copy, so the metric-vs-dimension 
output-label collision check never sees the inherited hierarchy. The query then 
has two outputs labeled `year`, and the preview/saved chart can show the year 
values instead of `SUM(revenue)` without any error. Should the collision check 
run against the final merged hierarchy (e.g. via `_inherited_groupby`) before 
compiling?
