Fixed sample CSV file generation

[lucasbordeau]

This PR fixes a bug that created a deletedAt column in sample CSV file generated for import, that when used afterwards for import, would create soft deleted records, which gives the impression that the CSV import does not work.

Greptile Overview

Greptile Summary

This PR fixes a bug where the deletedAt field was included in sample CSV files generated for import. When users downloaded a sample CSV and imported it with data, the deletedAt column would cause records to be soft-deleted upon creation, making them invisible in the UI and giving the false impression that the import failed.

Changes:

• Added fieldMetadataItem.name !== 'deletedAt' filter in spreadsheetImportFilterAvailableFieldMetadataItems to exclude the deletedAt field from available import fields
• This matches the existing pattern for excluding createdAt and updatedAt system fields

Impact:

• CSV sample files will no longer include a deletedAt column
• Imported records will be created as active records instead of soft-deleted ones
• Fixes the user experience issue where CSV imports appeared to fail

Confidence Score: 5/5

• This PR is safe to merge with minimal risk
• Simple, focused fix that adds a single line to exclude deletedAt from import fields. The change follows the existing pattern for system fields (createdAt, updatedAt), directly addresses the reported bug, and has no side effects. The fix is used in both sample CSV generation and actual import flows.
• No files require special attention
