Summary
This PR addresses #7632 by documenting how CSV reports interact with {{esql}} variable controls, split by reader need:
explore-analyze/discover/try-esql.md(Add variable controls to your Discover queries): a behavior note stating that when you generate a CSV report from a Discover session or a Discover session panel, the exported data reflects the values currently selected in the variable controls (immediate and scheduled reports). This is where users add controls and export, next to the existingstack: ga 9.5+note on ES|QL CSV export behavior.explore-analyze/report-and-share/reporting-troubleshooting-csv.md: an error-driven troubleshooting section for theUnknown query parameterfailure that earlier versions returned, with the resolving versions and a workaround. This is the page a user pastes the error into, alongside sibling sections like Token expiration.Placement reasoning:
esql-kibana.md). Neither fit: the new behavior isn't a limitation, and the editor overview only links out to the Discover procedure. The two real reader needs are "what gets exported" (behavior → Discover how-to) and "why did it fail" (error → troubleshooting), so the content is placed accordingly.Sourced from elastic/kibana#277916, which threads resolved ES|QL variable values through the reporting execution path (Discover export and dashboard Discover session panel action) and binds them when the query runs. Backported to 8.19, 9.3.9, and 9.4.4.
