Summary

Document virtual views as a first-class content-as-code domain in the dashboards-as-code guide and the CLI reference.

Changes

  • Added a Virtual views section to the dashboards-as-code guide covering the YAML contract, download/upload lifecycle (create, update, no-change, validation errors, destructive change protection, --force), and the reused view:ContentAsCode / manage:ContentAsCode permissions.
  • Documented the new CLI flags on lightdash download (--include-virtual-views, --virtual-views <slugs...>) and lightdash upload (--virtual-views <slugs...>, --skip-virtual-views), with matching examples.
  • Clarified that virtual views are opt-in — bare lightdash download and lightdash upload don't touch them by default — and expanded the --force description to cover destructive virtual-view column changes.

Context

Follows the source code change adding virtual views as code (lightdash/lightdash#25493).
