In dashboard, the tabsets makes each tab behave as a card, thus by default add the "expand" feature to it.
Unfortunately, the option cannot be disable at the tab or tabset level contrary to cards and code-cell.

Steps to reproduce
InputOutput
---
title: "Untitled"
format: dashboard
---

## Quarto {.tabset}

### Tab1

{{< placeholder 600 400 >}}
Image
Actual behavior

The following has no effects:

---
title: "Untitled"
format: dashboard
---

## Quarto {.tabset expandable="false"}

### Tab1

{{< placeholder 600 400 >}}
---
title: "Untitled"
format: dashboard
---

## Quarto {.tabset}

### Tab1 {expandable="false"}

{{< placeholder 600 400 >}}
Expected behavior

Research direction

Start by rendering the provided dashboard .qmd examples and compare tabset-level and tab-level expandable behavior. Trace the dashboard tabset handling from that reproduction; done means expandable="false" disables expansion at both supported levels.
