Easier dashboard filters, clearer errors, and steadier service when something upstream hiccups.

• Build filtered dashboards in one step — beembuilddashboard can now add a project/category filter (and image widgets) directly, so you no longer have to create the dashboard and then wire the filter up separately
• Filters just work — Filter type values are accepted in any capitalization, and filter widgets are automatically given enough height to show their dropdown, fixing the "invisible filter" problem
• Clearer filter guidance — The tool now explains that a filter controls only the charts you link to it (so you know to connect all of them) and that detail tables linked to a filter stay empty until a value is picked
• Clearer timeouts on large queries — When a dataset query is too large to start in time, you now get a clear "timed out before it could start — retry or use a smaller page size" message instead of a confusing unknown error
• One slow operation no longer blocks the rest — If a single operation starts failing repeatedly, only that operation pauses briefly to recover; unrelated tools (like previewing a SQL query) keep working as normal
• Friendlier dashboard widget errors — Building a dashboard with a chart type used where a widget type belongs now returns a clear explanation of what to use instead, rather than a generic failure
• Cleaner "not found" for missing items — Requesting a resource that doesn't exist now returns a tidy not-found response instead of an internal error
