Previously, users without the Edit dashboards permission (e.g. guest role users) could not see widget titles on dashboards. The titles appeared blank while the widget content rendered correctly.

The REST API endpoint for computing widget titles incorrectly required the general.edit_dashboards permission, which is an edit-level permission not granted to dashboard viewers.
