Following the instructions for github actions failed (re: profile.yml)

Describe the bug
Following the setup instructions from https://github.com/marketplace/actions/dbt-checkpoint, I set it up as suggested, pointing profiles.yml at an empty dev Snowflake schema. There seems to be an assumed step here that I am missing.

Here's my .pre-commit-config.yml file:

repos:
- repo: https://github.com/dbt-checkpoint/dbt-checkpoint
  rev: v1.2.0
  hooks:
  - id: dbt-compile
    args: ["--cmd-flags", "++profiles-dir", "."]
  - id: check-model-columns-have-desc
    files: ^models/mart

Here's my profiles.yml file:

dbt_amplify:
  target: ci
  outputs:
    ci:
      type: snowflake
      account: ...
      user: ...
      password: ...
      role: ...
      database: dev
      warehouse: ...
      schema: ci
      threads: 4

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. install pre-commit and dbt-snowflake
2. create a .pre-commit-config.yml file
3. create a profiles.yml file
4. run pre-commit run --all-files
5. dbt throws a runtime error that a certain schema doesn't exist. if you fix that it'll complain about a table not existing.

• include sql script and/or dbt schema files.

Expected behavior
Clarity in the documentation about what is expected.

Will this only work if you point it at your production database with a readonly role?

Do you have to create a testing database that is an exact copy of production? We're using dbt cloud and only have ephemeral pr schemas.

Version:
v1.2.0
