PR Review: Add dbt_utils.equal_rowcount test to customers

Change: Adds a model-level dbt_utils.equal_rowcount test asserting that customers and orders have the same row count, with severity: error.

⚠️ Test Logic Concern

This assertion is likely incorrect by design. customers is a deduplicated customer table (one row per customer), while orders contains one row per order — a customer can have many orders. These two tables are not expected to have equal row counts; in fact, orders is intentionally larger. This test will fail on any realistic dataset.

Verify the intent: if the goal is to ensure every customer has at least one order (or vice versa), the right test would be a referential integrity check (e.g., dbt_utils.relationships), not equal_rowcount.

Downstream Impact

No downstream assets depend on customers — blast radius is zero.

Tests & Incidents

No recent incidents on customers. Existing tests (anomaly detection on customers, column/dimension anomalies on orders) are all passing or skipped.

---

Risk: 🟡 Medium — The change itself is low-risk structurally, but the test semantics appear incorrect and will likely produce persistent ERROR-severity failures in CI/CD on every run. Recommend confirming the intended assertion before merging.
