Claude Code cbcfd9599f docs: cut 6.1.0 versions for docs, admin_docs, developer_docs, components
Snapshots all four versioned Docusaurus sections at v6.1.0. Built on
top of the version-cutting tooling work in chore/docs-cut-6.1.0-versions
so the snapshot benefits from:

- Auto-gen refresh before snapshotting (database pages from engine
  spec metadata, API reference from openapi.json, component pages
  from Storybook stories) — captured at the SHA we cut from rather
  than whatever happened to be on disk.
- Data-import freeze: country list, feature flag table, database
  diagnostics, and component metadata are copied into snapshot-local
  `_versioned_data/` dirs so the historical version doesn't silently
  mutate when the source files change.
- Depth-aware import-path rewriter that handles deeply-nested
  component MDX files referencing `../../../src/` from the snapshot.

Versioning behavior: `lastVersion` stays at `current` for every
section, so the canonical URLs (`/docs/...`, `/admin-docs/...`,
`/developer-docs/...`, `/components/...`) continue to render content
from master. The `current` version is consistently labeled "Next"
with an `unreleased` banner, and `6.1.0` is a historical pin
accessible only via its explicit version segment.

Component playground: previously `disabled: true` in versions-config.json,
now enabled and versioned. The plugin block in docusaurus.config.ts
was already gated only by the `disabled` flag, so no other code
changes were needed to bring it back online.

The frozen `databases.json` in the snapshot is the canonical 80-database
artifact from the latest committed state in master (preserved by the
generator's input-hash cache), not a fallback regenerated from a
local Flask environment.

## Handlebars Chart
The Handlebars chart lets you render query results using a custom [Handlebars](https://handlebarsjs.com/) template. This gives you full control over how your data is displayed — from simple tables to rich HTML layouts.
### Basic Usage
In the chart editor, write a Handlebars template in the **Template** field. Your query results are available as `data`, an array of row objects.
```handlebars
{{#each data}}
<p>{{this.name}}: {{this.value}}</p>
{{/each}}
```
### Built-in Helpers
Superset registers several custom helpers on top of the standard Handlebars built-ins.
#### `dateFormat`
Formats a date value using [Day.js](https://day.js.org/) format strings.
```handlebars
{{dateFormat my_date format="MMMM YYYY"}}
```
| Option | Default | Description |
|--------|---------|-------------|
| `format` | `YYYY-MM-DD` | A Day.js-compatible format string |
---
#### `stringify`
Converts an object to a JSON string, or any other value to its string representation.
```handlebars
{{stringify myObj}}
```
---
#### `formatNumber`
Formats a number using locale-aware formatting.
```handlebars
{{formatNumber myNumber "en-US"}}
```
| Option | Default | Description |
|--------|---------|-------------|
| `locale` | `en-US` | A BCP 47 language tag |
---
#### `parseJson`
Parses a JSON string into an object that can be used in your template.
```handlebars
{{parseJson myJsonString}}
```
---
#### `groupBy`
Groups an array of objects by a key, powered by [handlebars-group-by](https://github.com/nicktindall/handlebars-group-by).
```handlebars
{{#groupBy data "department"}}
<h3>{{value}}</h3>
{{#each items}}
<p>{{this.name}}</p>
{{/each}}
{{/groupBy}}
```

### Helpers from just-handlebars-helpers
Superset also registers all helpers from the [just-handlebars-helpers](https://github.com/leapfrogtechnology/just-handlebars-helpers) library. These include a wide range of comparison, math, string, and conditional helpers. Commonly used ones include:
#### Comparison
| Helper | Description | Example |
|--------|-------------|---------|
| `eq` | Strict equality | `{{#if (eq status "active")}}` |
| `eqw` | Weak equality | `{{#if (eqw count "5")}}` |
| `neq` | Strict inequality | `{{#if (neq role "admin")}}` |
| `lt` | Less than | `{{#if (lt score 50)}}` |
| `lte` | Less than or equal | `{{#if (lte score 100)}}` |
| `gt` | Greater than | `{{#if (gt price 0)}}` |
| `gte` | Greater than or equal | `{{#if (gte age 18)}}` |
#### Logical
| Helper | Description | Example |
|--------|-------------|---------|
| `and` | Logical AND | `{{#if (and isActive isVerified)}}` |
| `or` | Logical OR | `{{#if (or isAdmin isMod)}}` |
| `not` | Logical NOT | `{{#if (not isDisabled)}}` |
| `ifx` | Inline conditional | `{{ifx isActive "Yes" "No"}}` |
| `coalesce` | Returns first non-falsy value | `{{coalesce nickname name "Anonymous"}}` |
#### String
| Helper | Description | Example |
|--------|-------------|---------|
| `capitalize` | Capitalizes first letter | `{{capitalize name}}` |
| `uppercase` | Converts to uppercase | `{{uppercase status}}` |
| `lowercase` | Converts to lowercase | `{{lowercase email}}` |
| `truncate` | Truncates a string | `{{truncate description 100}}` |
| `contains` | Checks if string contains substring | `{{#if (contains tag "urgent")}}` |
#### Math
| Helper | Description | Example |
|--------|-------------|---------|
| `add` | Addition | `{{add a b}}` |
| `subtract` | Subtraction | `{{subtract total discount}}` |
| `multiply` | Multiplication | `{{multiply price quantity}}` |
| `divide` | Division | `{{divide total count}}` |
| `ceil` | Ceiling | `{{ceil value}}` |
| `floor` | Floor | `{{floor value}}` |
| `round` | Round | `{{round value}}` |
For the full list of available helpers, see the [just-handlebars-helpers documentation](https://github.com/leapfrogtechnology/just-handlebars-helpers).
### Tips
- Use raw blocks to escape Handlebars syntax if you need to display double curly braces literally.
- Comparison helpers like `eq` must be wrapped in a subexpression when used with `#if`: `{{#if (eq myVal "foo")}}`.
- HTML output is sanitized by default based on your Superset configuration (`HTML_SANITIZATION`).
