🟡 Changes recommended

The quickstart snippets reference shell variables that are never set (they “emit” timestamps but don’t capture them), making the primary usage examples non-runnable/ambiguous.

Once you've addressed the issues Copilot identified, you can request another Copilot review.

Pull request overview

This PR centralizes and expands documentation for grafana-alertcheck, moving from a minimal README to a structured docs set (overview, concepts, reference, and architecture) intended for a docs site (via Docusaurus-style frontmatter and categories).

Changes:

  • Expanded grafana-alertcheck/README.md with a clear product summary, quickstart, and links into the docs tree.
  • Added a new grafana-alertcheck/docs/ documentation set covering overview, evaluation model, advanced scheduling/budget, architecture invariants, and reference material (CLI + log format).
  • Introduced Docusaurus category metadata (_category_.yaml) for navigation and generated index pages.
File summaries

grafana-alertcheck/docs/index.md:56

  • In the single-step Quickstart, "$finished_at" is referenced but never set in the snippet. Using an explicit RFC3339 date (or showing how to capture an emitted value) would make the example self-contained.

a rule's own coverage gap overriding its own recovery, a genuinely
skew-discriminating staleness test, exit-2 consequences on two
Reason-only coverage tests, and end-to-end checks for log-name

* chore: implement phase 9

Invariant defended: H5/H7. The one question: can check report a pass
over a window it did not prove?

Check() is the I/O shell around the pure decide(). Single-step
synthesizes the header and its own sentinel, so no mode flag reaches
the pure layer. Log mode stops the recorder before the one full read.

The header, not a definition re-resolved after the window closed, is
the authority for what was paused when the window opened — it decides
`skipped`, the drain set, and the transitionGrace max. The flock, not
the pidfile, is the authority for whether a writer still exists.

Invariant defended: H6/H7. The one question: can a violation ever
outrank an unobservable rule, or can a pass happen without
Violations empty and err nil?

Adds classify.go: the pure per-instance classifier (outcome table,
preexisting policy, BadFor) and decide(), the seam combining
proveCoverage with those timelines under one Policy. Consolidates
rule-poll filtering and skew translation onto pollsForRule/runnerTime,
shared with coverage.go.

* chore: implement phase 7

Invariant defended: H3. The one question: can a rule be called alive
because it looked alive one poll ago?

proveCoverage (grafana-alertcheck/internal/gate/coverage.go) is the pure
coverage function: nine checks over one rule's polls — sentinel,
from-bounds, heartbeat continuity, health error/nodata, liveness,
in-window pause, rule absence, KeepLast. Liveness is absolute, never a
delta. Cross-domain comparisons translate by each poll's own skew and
widen boundary segments by its skew bound, fail-closed.

* chore: implement phase 6

Invariant defended: H2. The one question: can watch return success over a
window that nothing is recording?

Watch() records the first observation of each non-skipped rule, then detaches
a child that polls at the cadence in the header. The parent returns only after
the child reports ready on an inherited pipe, and writes the pidfile after
that. A clean stop writes the sentinel; a hard error does not.

* chore: implement phase 6

Invariant defended: H2. The one question: can watch return success over a
window that nothing is recording?

Watch() records the first observation of each non-skipped rule, then detaches
a child that polls at the cadence in the header. The parent returns only after
the child reports ready on an inherited pipe, and writes the pidfile after
that. A clean stop writes the sentinel; a hard error does not.

Invariant defended: H3. The one question: can a rule be called alive
because it looked alive one poll ago?

proveCoverage (grafana-alertcheck/internal/gate/coverage.go) is the pure
coverage function: nine checks over one rule's polls — sentinel,
from-bounds, heartbeat continuity, health error/nodata, liveness,
in-window pause, rule absence, KeepLast. Liveness is absolute, never a
delta. Cross-domain comparisons translate by each poll's own skew and
widen boundary segments by its skew bound, fail-closed.

Invariant defended: H6/H7. The one question: can a violation ever
outrank an unobservable rule, or can a pass happen without
Violations empty and err nil?

Adds classify.go: the pure per-instance classifier (outcome table,
preexisting policy, BadFor) and decide(), the seam combining
proveCoverage with those timelines under one Policy. Consolidates
rule-poll filtering and skew translation onto pollsForRule/runnerTime,
shared with coverage.go.

* chore: implement phase 9

Invariant defended: H5/H7. The one question: can check report a pass
over a window it did not prove?

Check() is the I/O shell around the pure decide(). Single-step
synthesizes the header and its own sentinel, so no mode flag reaches
the pure layer. Log mode stops the recorder before the one full read.

The header, not a definition re-resolved after the window closed, is
the authority for what was paused when the window opened — it decides
`skipped`, the drain set, and the transitionGrace max. The flock, not
the pidfile, is the authority for whether a writer still exists.

no-early-exit clock assertion, a recorder-mode gap right after the deploy,
a rule's own coverage gap overriding its own recovery, a genuinely
skew-discriminating staleness test, exit-2 consequences on two
Reason-only coverage tests, and end-to-end checks for log-name
collapse, a truncated log, and the real watch-written state histogram.
