Updates /guides/developer/explores to match the explores property type in DbtModelLightdashConfig (ExploreConfig & SharedDbtModelLightdashConfig).

Changes:

  • Replaced the bullet list of supported options with a full property table covering every field consumed per-explore by the translator: label, description, group_label, joins, sql_filter, sql_where, case_sensitive, default_filters, additional_dimensions.
  • Added a note clarifying which model-level options (e.g. required_attributes, metrics, sql_from, default_time_dimension, spotlight, primary_key, pre_aggregates) are inherited and cannot be overridden per explore.
  • Removed the misleading deals_exec_view example that used required_attributes inside an explore — that property is not read from per-explore configs in the translator. Replaced it with a sql_filter-based example.
