Validate partition mapper source keys before scheduling

[desusaiteja]

Reject non-canonical source partition keys before a partition mapper records downstream mapping for partitioned asset-triggered Dags. This keeps malformed-but-parseable keys from being normalized into incorrect target partitions, and adds regression coverage for temporal, allowed-key, product, chain, and scheduler paths.

🛠️ Maintainer triage note for @desusaiteja · by @potiuk · 2026-07-28 16:22 UTC

Helpful heads-up from the maintainers — please address before this PR can be reviewed:

• ❌ Pre-commit / static checks. See docs.

The ball is in your court — you've been assigned to this PR. Fix the above, then mark it Ready for review.

See the Pull Request quality criteria for how to fix each item. There is no rush.

_{Automated triage — may be imperfect; a maintainer takes the next look. We use this two-stage triage process so maintainers' limited time goes to the conversation with you.}

[potiuk]

@desusaiteja — I've removed the ready for maintainer review label because the next step here is yours: this branch now has merge conflicts with main. It'll go back into the maintainer queue automatically once you rebase onto the latest main and push — no need to re-add the label by hand. There's no rush.

_{Automated triage note drafted by an AI-assisted tool — may get things wrong; a real Apache Airflow maintainer takes the next look once it's green. (why automated)}
