Replace old dashboard chart

ReversedCaptured from #product-analytics thread
Why

The old chart looked dated and took too much vertical space. The team replaced it with a compact trend chart, then reversed the change after users said weekly comparisons became harder.

Alternatives considered
Keep the old chart and improve labels
Rejected at first because the team wanted a cleaner visual direction for the dashboard refresh.
Show both old and new charts
Rejected because it made the first screen too crowded for new users.

The new chart looked cleaner, but 6 of 9 interviewed users missed the old weekly comparison view. The team restored the old comparison pattern and kept only the improved labels.
