[CT-2994] [Bug] `sql_header` with jinja not parsed correctly with `dbt show`

[jeremyyeo]

Is this a new bug in dbt-core?

• I believe this is a new bug in dbt-core
• I have searched the existing issues, and I could not find an existing issue for this bug

Current Behavior

If you have some jinja in your sql_header, dbt show injects it verbatim, without doing any parsing - this results in invalid sql characters.

Expected Behavior

dbt show should be well behaved and sql_header should be parsed/resolved prior to sending the query to the datawarehouse.

Steps To Reproduce

1. Project setup:

# dbt_project.yml
name: my_dbt_project
profile: snowflake
config-version: 2
version: 1.0

# prettier-ignore
models:
  my_dbt_project:
    +materialized: table
    +sql_header: "{{ 'CALL SYSTEM$WAIT(' ~ var('wait_seconds', 0) ~ ');' }}"

-- models/foo.sql
select 1 id

2. With both dbt-core 1.5.latest (1.5.4) and 1.6.latest (1.6.0), do a show on foo:

$ dbt --debug show -s foo
23:43:46  Concurrency: 1 threads (target='default')
23:43:46  
23:43:46  Began running node model.my_dbt_project.foo
23:43:46  Re-using an available connection from the pool (formerly list_development_dbt_jyeo, now model.my_dbt_project.foo)
23:43:46  Began compiling node model.my_dbt_project.foo

{{ 'CALL SYSTEM$WAIT(' ~ var('wait_seconds', 0) ~ ');' }}select 1 id
23:43:46  Opening a new connection, currently in state closed

snowflake

Additional Context

If we downgrade to dbt-core==1.5.0, show works as expected:

$ dbt --debug show -s foo
23:45:51  Concurrency: 1 threads (target='default')
23:45:51  
23:45:52  Began running node model.my_dbt_project.foo

23:45:52  Began compiling node model.my_dbt_project.foo
23:45:52  Writing injected SQL for node "model.my_dbt_project.foo"

select 1 id

23:45:54  Command end result

23:45:54  Command `dbt show` succeeded at 11:45:54.583669 after 9.60 seconds

But that's simply because we don't inject sql_header as we are now doing with #7568

Additionally, in the dbt Cloud IDE, 1.5.latest works because it does show --inline with the file contents:
