+fix: read spec-canonical keys for dashboard header title and field length rules
+
+Two naming-drift closeouts (framework#1878 / framework#1891):
+
+- `DashboardRenderer` header now falls back to the spec-canonical `label` when
+  the legacy `title` is absent (mirrors the `DashboardGridLayout` fallback from
+  #2666) — a spec-compliant dashboard gets its header title.
+- Field validation rules now read the spec-canonical camelCase
+  `minLength`/`maxLength` (what the server record-validator enforces) with the
+  legacy snake_case `min_length`/`max_length` kept as fallback — authored
+  length constraints reach the client form.
