dc b20c3f3507 docs(va): filter shot with rows to see, and no wrapperless crop 
Captured from the report viewer at 1920x1100: two prompts (a value list and a
date), 21 rows returned by
FILTER : ( ( SOME_DROPDOWN = 'Option 1' AND SOME_DATE = '01JUL1960'd ) ).

- drops the header/FILTER crop, which had no VA chrome, and the sentence it
  illustrated
- drops the "single row it matches" wording, which no longer describes the
  picture
- documents the date clause as a code block instead of a second image

dc f803656936 docs(va): two-parameter report shot with a date literal 
Replaces the three-parameter screenshot with a two-parameter one - a value
list and a date - and adds a zoomed crop of the DC header and FILTER line.

The date parameter arrives as a display date and is rendered as a SAS date
literal ('12FEB1960'd), the same as a date filter built inside Data
Controller. That is worth showing because VA's own prompt containers in the
report header show only the parameter label: the FILTER line is where the
selected values are legible.
