GET /api/challenger/database/{guid} to export the todo database

Lessons Learned

• GET /api/challenger/database/{guid} exports todo data rather than challenge-completion metadata.
• Database export is the fixture backup step for repeatable stateful tests.
• The returned JSON should be treated as data to restore later, not just something to display.

Suggested Experiments

• Export the database, create or delete a todo, then export again and compare the two payloads.
• Restore the saved database payload and confirm the todo collection returns to the earlier state.
