-If a model uses a `var` or `env_var` in its definition, dbt Core 1.8 and earlier are unable today to identify that lineage in such a way that it can include the model in `state:modified` because the `var` or `env_var` value has changed. It's likely that the model will be marked modified if the change in variable results in a different configuration.
