evaluate_promql previously resolved every metric name through bucket_values,
which only returns data for a real MetricDeclaration — so a dashboard panel
querying ottyl_seq/ottyl_ts/ottyl_fmt (already supported in the filter bar
and alert conditions) silently returned an empty series. ottyl_seq/ottyl_ts
are now synthesized directly from the ingested-log index instead of requiring
a declaration; ottyl_fmt is categorical (json/logfmt/none) with no sensible
numeric reading, so it's rejected up front with a clear error pointing back
at the filter bar rather than returning nothing.
GET /api/params now also lists the three reserved names (marked `reserved:
true`, distinct from `auto_derived`) purely for discoverability — merged in
at the API layer only, not the engine's internal ParamDeclarations query, so
profile-switch removal and metric-param-promotion logic are unaffected.
declare_param also now rejects declaring a param under one of these names.
Docs.tsx and the Params panel are updated to reflect the new dashboard
support and the reserved/non-editable listing.
