-- **Behavior change:** New behavior change flags for [`state:modified`](/reference/global-configs/behavior-changes#source-definitions-and-variables-for-state) to reduce false positives/negatives and enhanced behavior for [`on-run-start` hooks](/reference/global-configs/behavior-changes#on-run-start-hook) to skip nodes on failure. 
+- **Behavior change:** New behavior change flag for [`state:modified`](/reference/global-configs/behavior-changes#source-definitions-for-state) to reduce false positives/negatives and enhanced behavior for [`on-run-start` hooks](/reference/global-configs/behavior-changes#on-run-start-hook) to skip nodes on failure. 
 - **Enhancement**: In dbt Cloud Versionless, snapshots defined in SQL files can now use `config` defined in `schema.yml` YAML files. This update resolves the previous limitation that required snapshot properties to be defined exclusively in `dbt_project.yml` and/or a `config()` block within the SQL file. This enhancement will be included in the upcoming dbt Core v1.9 release.
 - **New:** dbt Explorer now includes trust signal icons, which is currently available as a [Preview](/docs/dbt-versions/product-lifecycles#dbt-cloud). Trust signals offer a quick, at-a-glance view of data health when browsing your dbt models in Explorer. These icons indicate whether a model is **Healthy**, **Caution**, **Degraded**, or **Unknown**. For accurate health data, ensure the resource is up-to-date and has had a recent job run. Refer to [Trust signals](/docs/collaborate/explore-projects#trust-signals-for-resources) for more information. 
 - **New:** Auto exposures are now available in Preview in dbt Cloud. Auto-exposures helps users understand how their models are used in downstream analytics tools to inform investments and reduce incidents. It imports and auto-generates exposures based on Tableau dashboards, with user-defined curation. To learn more, refer to [Auto exposures](/docs/collaborate/auto-exposures).

 Set `state_modified_compare_more_unrendered` to `True` to start persisting `unrendered_database` and `unrendered_schema` configs during source parsing, and do comparison on unrendered values during `state:modified` checks. Setting the flag to `True` reduces false positives during `state:modified` checks when `prod` and `dev` environments have different configs.

-Set the `state_modified_compare_vars` to `True` if a model uses a `var` or `env_var` in its definition. dbt will be able to identify its lineage to include the model in `state:modified` because the `var` or `env_var` value has changed.
