Observability Guardrails - Dashboard Exists

Dashboard Exists

observability.dashboard-exists

Verifies that the service has a linked monitoring dashboard by checking .observability.dashboard.exists is true. Fails if observability data is present but .observability.dashboard.exists is false (the UID is registered but the dashboard is gone in Grafana). Skips cleanly when no observability source has written data for this component.
