Description

The Python SDK v0.37.0 updated the LakeviewAPI.create/update signature to expect a Dashboard object. We can update our lsql Dashboard.create_dashboard with similar changes:

https://github.com/databrickslabs/lsql/blob/48c287e9fe2910926a4f498e3f5474c496c454da/src/databricks/labs/lsql/dashboards.py#L1103-L1111

becomes:

    def create_dashboard(
        self,
        dashboard_metadata: DashboardMetadata,
        *,
        dashboard: SDKDashboard=None,
        publish: bool = False,
    ) -> SDKDashboard:

Use deprecation warnings to incrementally introduce this signature change

Research direction

Start with src/databricks/labs/lsql/dashboards.py at Dashboard.create_dashboard and compare its current parameters with the linked Databricks SDK LakeviewAPI.create/update signatures. Trace the existing dashboard creation flow, then verify that the compatibility path emits deprecation warnings and that the updated call returns an SDKDashboard.
