#5475 "Rule form: pick the host, then its part; metrics that part reports;
a link to groups; a preview of the metric", from the operator's review of
the New rule page: hosts and their parts shared one long picker.
- Host agent rules pick a Host, then a Part: "The whole host", then its
mounts, CPU cores, disks, interfaces and sensors under a heading each,
cores in number order. A part that reports nothing a rule can watch
(an interface's traffic) isn't offered.
- The Metric list holds what the picked resource reports, in catalog order.
- Under it, a preview: the reading now, and the last 24 h low to high with
an hourly sparkline drawn from zero (UI ruling 8), read from one series.
- The group picker links to Ansible > Inventory to make a group, in a new
tab, and re-reads the groups when the tab comes back into view.
- Picking a host or part swaps the pickers alone (/alerts/api/rule_target);
picking a metric swaps the preview (/alerts/api/metric_preview).
- A rule's own resource and metric stay on offer after they go quiet.

#5464 "Group rules: one rule covers every host, or every host in a group",
step 2 of milestone 499 "Alerts you can trust". Each rule named one host, so
the live instance carried six rules for three hosts, and a new host had no
agent-offline or disk alert until someone copied them.
- alert_rules.covers / cover_group / parent_id (migration 0041). A rule on
host_agent may cover "all_hosts" or a "group" (an inventory group: the
Hosts ruling, #5294). A covering rule has no state; Steward keeps one
ordinary child rule per covered host, named "<rule>: <host>", so each
host's alert keeps its own state, history and acknowledgement.
- alerts.service.reconcile_children: a covered host that has reported in
the last 7 days gets a child; a host no longer covered loses its child;
children take the parent's condition, checks, notify setting, action and
on/off. Run on save and each minute (alert_reconcile).
- A child is changed through its parent: edit, toggle and delete of a child
are refused (409 / PartOfCoveringRule); its edit page opens the parent.
- Rule form: a Covers choice for host sources, with the group picker; fixed
once the rule exists. Rules list: a covering rule reads "every host in
swarm · 3 hosts" with its hosts' rules nested under it, each opening its
history. The history picker and the rule count leave covering rules out.
- MCP: create_alert_rule takes covers/group; update_alert_rule takes group
and passes changes down; list_alert_rules shows covers, hosts and part_of.
- docs/core/alerting.md: "Rules that cover hosts".

#5212 "Plain labels: no raw ids, scopes, metric keys or unexplained jargon",
batch 1:
- Audit log: each action reads as a sentence ("paused monitor"), with the
code as its tooltip. Detail shows flags as yes/no, lists joined, a run's
scope by name, spans as spans, and no ids the entity column already gives.
The filter is now a picker of areas.
- Alert rules, history and Status say the condition in words: "is down",
"Fullest disk >= 85%". Readings use metric_value, and history times use
|ago.
- Rule form: sources and metrics by name, the threshold's unit, "fires
when it is down/up" for an up/down metric instead of 0.5, and a metric
reference built from the catalog.
- Schedules and Maintenance: viewers no longer see Run now, Pause, Edit,
Delete or New. Intervals and next runs read as "every 2h" and "in 3h";
a scope reads "Every alert on Host agent".

#5094 "Status and layout macros, and form classes".
- formatting.STATES: one state -> (tone, label) map for up, down, stale,
firing, pending, acknowledged, no_data, ok, warn, crit, resolved and
inactive; status_info() reads it (an unmapped state is drawn dim under its
own name). required() lets a macro refuse a missing argument.
- _macros.html: status_badge and status_dot (a dot always carries its label,
sr-only unless shown), stat_tile, empty_state, page_header (actions via a
call block) and icon_button, which raises without a label.
- steward.css: tone classes (badge-/dot-/stat- ok, warn, crit, info, dim),
.sr-only, .page-header, .stat-tile, .empty-state, .btn-icon and the form
classes .field, .field-label, .field-hint and .input. Info text is a 40%
mix (--blue): the house --fs-info-fg falls to 4.18:1 on its tint over a
hovered row, 40% holds 5.09:1.
- First users: the Alerts list, history and maintenance pages (headers,
state badges, empty states) and the alert forms' hints; the inline inp/lbl
style sets on the monitor and host forms become .input / .field-label.
- tests/core/test_macros.py renders each macro through the app environment.

Renames the Python package directory, CLI command, env var prefix,
docker-compose service/container/image, Postgres role/db, and all
visible branding. Marketing form is "Fabled Steward".
Clean break from the previous rebrand: drops the fabledscryer→roundtable
import shim in __init__.py and the FABLEDSCRYER_* env var fallback in
config.py and migrations/env.py. Env vars are now STEWARD_* only.
Heads-up for existing deployments:
- Postgres user/db renamed fabledscryer → steward in docker-compose.yml.
Existing volumes need the role/db renamed inside Postgres, or override
POSTGRES_USER/POSTGRES_DB to keep the old names.
- Host-agent systemd unit is now steward-agent.service. Existing agents
keep running under the old name; reinstall to switch.
