Description

Description

Add the ability to filter DAGs based on their Timetable type (e.g., CronTriggerTimetable, AssetOrTimeSchedule) in both the UI and public DAG APIs.

Proposed Solution

Add a new query parameter timetable_type to the DAG listing endpoints that allows filtering DAGs based on their timetable type.

Use case/motivation

Currently, while the DAG model stores timetable information in the timetable_summary field, there is no API support to filter DAGs based on their timetable type. Users cannot easily find all DAGs that use a specific type of timetable. This functionality is crucial to fix #53041. Once this is implemented, the UI filter functionality will be built on top of this.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine how DAG timetable types are stored in the database (e.g., timetable summary field) and how existing filters work in the DAG listing API. Look at related issue #53041 for context. Implement a new query parameter timetable type in the DAG endpoints that filters DAGs based on their timetable summary.
