Data tables now support project-scoped creation
The public API for data tables now lets developers create tables in specific projects and filter listings by project — not just their personal workspace.
The public API for data tables previously created all tables in the user's personal project with no option to scope them elsewhere. Now the API accepts an optional projectId when creating tables, and non-admin users can filter their data table listings by project with proper access checks.
Admins can list tables across all projects or scope to a specific one. Regular users can only access projects where they have the dataTable:listProject scope — if they request a project they don't have access to, they receive an empty result set rather than an error, maintaining consistent behavior with other list endpoints.
This change touches the CLI package's public API layer. The project ID resolution logic was extracted into dedicated service functions for maintainability, and the OpenAPI spec was updated with examples showing both personal project and explicit project creation flows.
