What are you changing in this pull request and why?

Closes #8885.

This removes visible "snapshot" wording from source freshness documentation where it was being used to describe source freshness checks/results. dbt snapshots are a separate feature, so this updates the wording to use "checks" or "results" instead.

Updated pages:

  • docs/deploy/source-freshness
  • docs/build/sources
  • reference/commands/source
  • reference/resource-properties/freshness

I also updated the affected in-page links after renaming the headings.

Validation:

  • git diff --check
  • Targeted search for the old source-freshness snapshot phrases in the edited pages

Checklist

  • The changes in this PR meet the docs style guide/fundamentals required for all content.
  • Applied the proper versioning rules if the content is for specific dbt version(s): not version-specific.
  • The content in this PR requires a dbt release note, so I added one to the release notes page.

@AMBRA7592 is attempting to deploy a commit to the dbt-labs Team on Vercel.

A member of the Team first needs to authorize it.

Following up on this documentation PR, which has been ready for review since June 27. It remains mergeable; the Vercel deployment still appears to require authorization from a dbt Labs team member. Please let me know if any wording or scope changes are needed.
