The Monitors list now opens with a count strip (down, up with how many
degraded, pending, paused) and sorts down, degraded, pending, up, paused,
by name within each. Degraded is up but worth a look: uptime at or below
its warning floor, or the latest response past its critical cutoff, both
from Settings → Thresholds; a slow-but-tolerable reply is coloured, not
sorted.
A monitor had no page of its own: every link went to the list. Now
/monitors/<id> shows its state and since when, latency, uptime for 24h/7d/
30d, TLS days, the last checks, recent failures with their errors, and its
settings (HTTP header names, never their values). Status links to it, and
adding or editing returns to it.
Adding is its own page (/monitors/new, form.html shared with edit) behind
an "Add monitor" button; a refused add re-renders the form with the error
and what was typed instead of a bare 400 text. Row actions are labelled
icon buttons, type names read Ping/TCP/DNS/HTTP (|monitor_type), and the
heartbeat uses pill-up/pill-down, so HEX_CEILING drops to 56.

#5065 "Renames carry their alerts". Alert rules, maintenance-window scopes
and metric history key a thing by (source, name), so a rename used to leave
the rules watching a name nothing reported under, and split the history.
- core/renames.carry_rename moves AlertRule.resource_name,
MaintenanceWindow.scope_resource, plugin_metrics and plugin_metrics_hourly
to the new name in the caller's transaction. A host rename also carries
its parts: host_agent "<host>:…" and docker "<host>/…" (HOST_SOURCES).
Matching is exact (a prefix compare, not LIKE or a collation range).
History left under the new name by something deleted is dropped first
rather than merged in.
- Web monitor edit, MCP update_monitor and web host edit call it; MCP
answers with `carried` (it used to return a warning naming stranded rules).
- A name another monitor of the same type, or another host, already has is
refused on create and rename: two would share one history.
- The rename is audited (monitor.updated / host.renamed) with what moved.
Tests: an integration test renames a firing monitor through the web route
and finds its rule still firing and cleared by a sample on the new name,
its window and raw+hourly history moved and an orphan's history dropped; a
host rename moves agent and container parts but not a longer-named host's
or another source's; a guard that every host_agent resource is "<host>" or
"<host>:…".

MCP-7 #4971 "Monitoring-config write tools: monitors, alert rules, acks,
maintenance".
The validation the forms did inline (or not at all) moves to the services,
and both the routes and the tools call it, so bad input is refused the same
way with the same reason:
- monitors/service: monitor_fields, build_config, normalise_target. Port
1-65535, status 100-599, timeout 1-60, method GET/HEAD/POST, headers an
object of strings, a key the type does not take is named. The forms now
answer 400 with the reason instead of redirecting silently or a 500.
- alerts/service: METRIC_CATALOG and SOURCE_MODULES, resources_for,
metrics_for, rule_fields (source, resource and metric from the same
choices the rule form offers), add_rule, acknowledge, window_fields.
Tools: create_monitor, update_monitor (config merged over the stored one;
a rename warns about rules still watching the old name),
set_monitor_enabled, create_alert_rule, update_alert_rule,
acknowledge_alert, create_maintenance_window (duration or end),
end_maintenance_window (ends one in progress, cancels an upcoming one) —
operator. delete_monitor, delete_alert_rule — admin. get_alert_rule_options
— viewer. Every write is audited as "<user> via MCP".

MCP-3 of milestone 461 "MCP server: Steward as an LLM-inspectable,
LLM-operable hub". The /mcp tools run outside Quart's request pipeline, so
the queries they share with the pages now live in plain functions that take
an open session:
- steward/hosts/service.py: uptime, status, monitors, agent metrics,
agent overview (stale threshold passed in, not read from current_app),
CPU sparks.
- plugins/docker/service.py: bucket, container_history, host_map,
list_containers, container_events, query_logs.
- steward/alerts/service.py: active_alerts (also used by core/reports),
list_rules, list_maintenance_windows.
- steward/monitors/service.py: monitor_rows (was routes._rows_data).
Routes are repointed and render the same data. One behavior fix rides
along: the container-log search now escapes % and _ so they match
literally instead of acting as LIKE wildcards.

Collapse the three former check types into a single core `Monitor` entity
with one management surface (/monitors), one result table (monitor_results),
and a single scheduled task. Every type can now watch a free-standing custom
destination (optional host_id) — not just a registered Host.
- models: Monitor + MonitorResult replace PingResult/DnsResult; Host loses its
ping/dns facet columns (now Monitor rows linked by host_id).
- checks: monitors/{ping,dns,http}.py pure probes + runner.run_monitor
dispatcher; one monitor_check scheduler with a per-monitor due-filter.
- status: single monitor_status_source replaces the three sources.
- UI: /monitors blueprint (type-aware add/edit/list/widget); host hub shows a
host's linked monitors + "add monitor for this host"; nav + widget registry
+ alert metric catalog rewired. http plugin folded into core and removed.
- migration 0022 merges the http branch, data-migrates host facets +
http_monitors + all three result histories, drops the old tables/columns.
Resolves the per-host ping/dns auto-attach issue (#275): monitors are now
explicit, never auto-added to every host.
