Alert Config & Sentence Builder
People need rules that say when a policy violation should raise an alert, how, and how often, set up in a way that reads like a sentence.
An alert rule card was built to the design, then its sentence pieces were moved into a shared set of their own so filters and other rules can use them.

How we got here
Each change, traced back to the conversation it came from. A solid mark means the record names the source; a dashed one was matched by the draft and waits for review.
From the record: no recorded conversation behind this one.
