fix(alerts): a rule's page doesn't wait for its metric preview (#5485); Send test up top (#5486)

#5485 "A rule's page waits up to 25 s for its metric preview: a cold 24 h
series read from plugin_metrics". Opening "Agent offline" took 25.6 s; a
cold day of one series measured 18.3 s over MCP, a warm one 63 ms. The
pickers still come with the page from plugin_metric_latest; the preview is
its own request (hx-trigger=load), showing "Reading the last day…" until it
lands. Picker swaps no longer read it either.

#5486 "Send test where it can be found": the button moves from inside "What
happens" to the page header beside History, its result under the verdict.
