Export a dashboard to Excel, CSV, or PDF

POST/api/v1/dashboards/{dashboard_id}/export

Queue an asynchronous export of this dashboard and return a task id. Poll the standard report task-status endpoint (GET /api/v1/task/{task_id}) for progress and the download link — this reuses the report pipeline rather than adding a second one.

Exports read stored snapshots only and never re-execute widget sources, so an export is exactly as fresh as the dashboard and costs no analytical queries. Charts are flattened to their underlying tabular data: xlsx gives each widget its own worksheet tab in one workbook, csv emits one banner-headed section per widget, and pdf renders those same tables. No chart images are rendered server-side — the numbers stay selectable and machine readable.
