New freshness syntax causes parsing Error, only in "Latest"-version.

Hi peeps,

I recently reconfigured my project such that freshness-blocks are moved into config-blocks, due to deprecation alerts. However this caused parsing of my project in "Latest"-version to fail with this error:

ValueError: Argument for dbt.artifacts.resources.v1.components.FreshnessThreshold.mashumaro_from_dict method should be a dict instance

The error went away when changing to "Compatible"-version, current dbt-core version is 1.9.4. Has anyone else experienced similar issues?

I believe this is a duplicate of:

• [Bug] new config.freshness throws error when explicitly set to null #11685

If you have explicitly set freshness: null in your project, and move it under config, this will raise an error.

That issue has been fixed (#11698), and the fix should be rolling out this to dbt this week.

Thanks, was not looking thoroughly enough :)
