The host agent writes each maintenance job once it ends, and each stretch a
host was away (a reboot, a crash, lost contact, the agent restarting), kept up
to date until it is back. Docker judges each snapshot: a unit on a new image,
or a container recreated, is a deploy; deaths past the Thresholds crash-loop
count are one crash-loop entry that later deaths extend; single restarts are
recorded but hidden. An anomaly has one entry whose type follows its review:
only those judged real are shown by default.
A source whose record changes keeps one entry for it (record_or_update).
Plugins register the records their entries point to, so an aged-out job or
downtime reads "Details no longer kept". The first fill runs once per source
(timeline.filled), the host agent's jobs and downtime included.
get_anomaly's "what else was going on" reads the timeline for the host or
resource instead of querying alerts, runs, maintenance, downtime and container
deaths itself; Docker's own source keeps only starts, stops and health
changes. A new kind, Observed, is for what Steward saw happen with no rule or
person behind it.

get_anomaly gives each occurrence against what is usual at that hour, the
metric around the newest one with its normal, what else happened on the
resource's host around each occurrence (alert transitions, Ansible runs,
other anomalies there and a count elsewhere, plus plugins' own events
through a new mcp_events hook: the host agent's maintenance jobs and
downtime, Docker's container starts, deaths and OOM kills), and how earlier
anomalies on the same metric were judged.
get_metric_normal reads the learned slots and the level that would be
flagged. review_anomaly takes one id or several, all or nothing, with a
note. get_anomaly_settings and (admin) set_anomaly_settings read and change
the review window and each normal's floor, as Settings → Thresholds does.
metric_series.points takes an optional `until`; core.alerts gains
host_of_resource; floor_setting names its floor.
