Explanation

Databricks notebooks are stored as plain text files, and when viewed in a text editor, the very first line is always # Databricks notebook source. This is a Python-style comment that Databricks uses as a magic header to identify the file as a Databricks notebook and determine how to parse cell boundaries (which are marked by # COMMAND ----------). The language-specific magic commands like %python appear at the top of individual cells, not as the file's first line. This header is present regardless of the notebook's default language.
