_source_file must describe the file Spark read, rather than a payload field named _metadata.file_path. This open-source Spark example uses [PySpark input_file_name](https://spark.apache.org/docs/3.5.6/api/python/reference/pyspark.sql/api/pyspark.sql.functions.input_file_name.html) so source JSON containing _metadata cannot replace the physical file URI. Adapt provenance to the runtime you deploy; the [Databricks file metadata API](https://docs.databricks.com/aws/en/ingestion/file-metadata-column) also documents collisions with source columns named _metadata.

Run the Gold refresh against a complete Silver snapshot for the requested date window, not a partial event batch. Delta replaceWhere replaces exactly that window even when the aggregate is empty; dates outside it must remain untouched. Keep its default predicate constraint check enabled. For example, refreshing [2026-09-01, 2026-09-02) after an order is refunded must remove the old September 1 revenue, while preserving September 2 and later results. See [Delta selective overwrite](https://docs.delta.io/delta-batch/#selective-overwrite).
