   > Thanks for the fix - switching to `UnresolvedAttribute.quoted(...)` is 
correct and matches the existing convention already used for static-partition 
resolution in `Analyzer.scala` (the `UnresolvedAttribute.quoted(attr.name)` 
call there, which has a comment explaining the same deferred-resolution 
rationale).
   > 
   > Two additional test scenarios that would be good to cover, possibly as a 
follow-up:
   > 
   > 1. **Nested field with a special-char name.** Both new cases add 
_top-level_ columns. A source `struct` column evolving to add a nested field 
whose name contains a dot (e.g. an `info` struct gaining a `` `job.title` `` 
subfield) would exercise the nested path. I believe this already works today 
since the parsing only happened at the top-level assignment key and nested 
expansion uses field names verbatim, but it's the natural sibling case and is 
currently untested.
   > 2. **Special-char column that already exists in the target.** The bug was 
only in the `getOrElse` (new-column) branch; when `findAttrInTarget(...)` 
returns `Some`, the key is an already-resolved attribute. A case where the 
target _already_ has a `` `job.title` `` column being updated (ideally combined 
with a type change that triggers widening) would cover the other half of that 
branch.
   > 
   > Both are coverage-only and don't block the fix - happy for them to land as 
a follow-up PR if you'd prefer to keep this one focused.
   
   👍 Let me open a follow-up PR to cover these two.
