feat(dashboards): Support dashboard editing via Seer chat session (#112489)

edwardgou-sentry · george-sentry · commit 3c1865ede1e1 · 2026-04-09T14:13:00.000-07:00
Adds chat panel to dashboards edit mode:
- Update `useSeerDashboardSession` to accept an optional `dashboard`
prop. When provided without a `seerRunId`, the first
`sendFollowUpMessage` call starts a new Seer session via the dashboard
generate endpoint, passing the current dashboard as editing context.
- Add `DashboardEditSeerChat` component that wires the Seer chat panel
into the dashboard detail edit view behind the
`dashboards-ai-generate-edit` feature flag.
- Extract `startDashboardEditSession` helper for the generate endpoint
call.
