[Bug]: snowflake-sdk driver version EOL

[stefankeidel]

Describe the bug

As of February 1st, 2026 the snowflake-sdk driver version used in Evidence is not supported by Snowflake anymore, see here: https://docs.snowflake.com/en/release-notes/requirements

I tried updating it locally using overrides with the latest evidence and core-components but there's some hiccup in the connection. I'm not a JS expert, but Claude says something along the lines of "The error typically means we're trying to execute something before the connection is fully established, yet auth succeeded."

The actual error that happens with a version like 1.15.0 is pasted below.

Steps to Reproduce

• Add "snowflake-sdk": "1.15.0" as override
• run npm run sources with a Snowflake source using private key auth
