+{#
+  Override adapter-specific ref() macros (e.g. dbt-dremio) that don't properly
+  handle the two-argument positional form: ref('package', 'model').
+
+  dbt-dremio's ref(model_name, v=None) intercepts the second positional arg as
+  a version identifier, breaking cross-package refs like ref('elementary', 'dbt_models').
+
+  This override forwards all arguments directly to builtins.ref(), which correctly
+  handles all ref() forms in dbt-core 1.11+:
+    - ref('model')                      -> single model lookup
+    - ref('package', 'model')           -> cross-package ref
+    - ref('model', v=1)                 -> versioned ref
+    - ref('model', version=1)           -> versioned ref (alias)
+    - ref('model', package='package')   -> cross-package ref (legacy keyword form)
