# CI Drift Gate for BigQuery

Fail the Dataform/Terraform PR when the estate drifts from the governed model.

Import your INFORMATION_SCHEMA extract, record the first audit, and wire the audit gate into your CI pipeline: CI re-runs the extract via bq against the dataset a PR targets, calls the API-key audit surface (v1/{projectId}/integrations/bigquery/audit), and fails the build when data.errorCount > 0. An SVG status badge reports the latest recorded run.
