Subject: [PATCH 01/25] fix(sql): Add fallback to source_defined_primary_key in
 CatalogProvider

- Fix CatalogProvider.get_primary_keys() to fall back to stream.source_defined_primary_key when primary_key is empty/None
- Add comprehensive unit tests covering all fallback scenarios
- Resolves bug where destinations ignore source-defined primary keys when configured primary key is not set
- Affects all destinations using CDK SQL processor base classes

Subject: [PATCH 02/25] refactor(sql): Simplify primary key fallback logic with
 one-liner

Address @aaronsteers feedback to use more concise approach:
pks = configured_stream.primary_key or configured_stream.stream.source_defined_primary_key or []

This maintains exact same functionality while being more readable.

Subject: [PATCH 03/25] refactor(test): Parametrize catalog provider tests to
 reduce duplication

- Consolidate 7 individual test methods into 1 parametrized test with 6 scenarios
- Use list[str] format for parameters with wrapping logic in test
- Remove case normalization test since CatalogProvider doesn't handle normalization
- Reduce code from ~150 lines to ~50 lines while maintaining full coverage

Subject: [PATCH 04/25] docs(sql): Expand docstring for get_primary_keys to
 explain fallback behavior

- Add explanation that method uses primary_key if set explicitly in configured catalog
- Otherwise falls back to source_defined_primary_key if set
- Addresses GitHub comment from @aaronsteers

 return None when unset

- Reverse priority order to favor source_defined_primary_key over primary_key
- Return None when neither primary key field is set
- Update all callers to handle None gracefully with 'pks or []' coalescing
- Update unit tests to reflect new behavior and priority order
- Addresses @aaronsteers feedback on primary key fallback logic

- Replace 'or []' coalescing with explicit guard statements in merge methods
- Raise AirbyteInternalError when no primary keys available for merge operations
- Addresses @aaronsteers feedback on code clarity and error handling
- Ensures merge operations fail fast when primary keys are missing
