Adds a new best-practice page covering how to design and maintain the Lightdash semantic layer, based on recurring implementation patterns.

Highlights:

  • Curation, metrics reuse, dbt-owned durable logic, joins, AI, dev workflow, governance, and performance sections.
  • New Working with multiple star schemas section with concrete guidance: choose a shape per star, one Explore per fact, conformed shared dimensions, cross-star question patterns, naming/AI hygiene, and red flags.
  • Added to the Introduction group in the sidebar, next to "The Lightdash way".

Source: internal best-practices note (owner: Ian).
