…254962) ## Summary related to elastic#254791 Adds a `dataOnly` mode to `EsArchiver` that enforces data-only ingestion by rejecting archives containing saved object indices (`.kibana*`) and removes the requirement for `kbnClient`. ### Motivation: - Scout tests should use `kbnArchiver` for saved objects, not `esArchiver`. This change makes that boundary explicit by throwing a clear error if a Scout test accidentally tries to load .kibana* archives via esArchiver. - For Cross Project Search (CPS) support, the linked project's ES cluster has no Kibana instance, so `esArchiver` must work without `kbnClient`. ### What changed: - `EsArchiver` constructor accepts a new `dataOnly?: boolean` option. When true, `kbnClient` is not required, `emptyKibanaIndex()` throws error, and `load()/loadIfNeeded()` reject any archive that touches saved object indices. - `loadAction` skips the `kbnClient.plugins.getEnabledIds()` call and saved object migration when `dataOnly` is enabled. - Scout's `getEsArchiver` and its Playwright fixture now use `dataOnly: true` without `kbnClient`. - FTR and Cypress flows are unchanged -- they continue using `EsArchiver` without dataOnly, with full `kbnClient` support. --------- Co-authored-by: Cesare de Cal <cesare.decal@elastic.co> (cherry picked from commit 8500782)
