Create a new empty dashboard

## Usage

```bash
ktm dashboards create [flags]
```

## Examples

```bash
# Create a dashboard
ktm dashboards create --operator my-operator --name "SLA Dashboard"

# Create with a specific InfluxDB bucket
ktm dashboards create --operator my-operator --name "Passive Metrics" --bucket my-bucket
```

## Flags

| Flag | Type | Default | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `--bucket` | string |  | InfluxDB bucket for passive agent data (optional) |
| `--name` | string |  | Dashboard name (required) |
| `--operator` | string |  | Operator slug (required) |

## Details

Create a new dashboard under an operator with an empty widget layout.

The dashboard is created with layout version 2 (production format) and an
empty widget array. Use the platform UI or future CLI commands to add widgets.

The --operator flag is required. The collection_uid is auto-discovered from
the operator's dashboard root collection (same pattern as test creation).
