feat(dashboard-testing): add sampled traversal and ClickHouse test lab

Add versioned metric graph authority, owned browser evidence, paginated and all-tab traversal, deterministic sampling policies, and analyst-facing run inspection.

Provision the DEV/PREPROD/PROD Superset, Gitea and million-row ClickHouse lab; retain reproducible lifecycle evidence and explicit incomplete-traversal limits.
