Bulk Rename Embeds During Migration

const renames = [
  { embedId: 'embed-001', name: 'Sales Overview' },
  { embedId: 'embed-002', name: 'Marketing Performance' },
];

for (const rename of renames) {
  await fetch('https://api.usedatabrain.com/api/v2/data-app/embeds/rename', {
    method: 'PUT',
    headers: {
      Authorization: 'Bearer dbn_live_abc123...',
