Part 2 of 3 of acknowledging alert incidents: #2287 (core, API, MCP) → this PR (UI) → Slack/Discord buttons and PagerDuty sync. It is based on #2287.

What

  • Incident page.
    • An Acknowledge button sits in the header, and becomes Unacknowledge once acked.
    • The status line says who acknowledged it and when.
    • Clicking calls the v2 endpoint and patches the synced row from the response, so the page updates before Electric catches up.
  • Timeline.
    • It shows each acknowledgement, unacknowledgement and escalation-cleared ack from the incident's events.
    • The events are refetched whenever the row's ack instant changes. That includes acks made in Slack or through the API.
    • While acked, "Still breaching" says reminders are paused.
    • The state still in effect always ends the timeline.
    • A failed history read shows the timeline's error line.
  • Inbox.
    • Open incidents sort as: still needs someone, then someone is on it, then waiting on data.
    • The heading counts acknowledged incidents separately from firing ones.
    • Each row gets an acknowledge button, lifted above the row's link, and an "Acknowledged by …" subline.
  • Lab. /lab/alerts shows an acknowledged inbox row and an acknowledged incident.

Verification

  • Incident page scene tests:
    • ack, the history refetched under its real key and drawn, then unack;
    • the API's inc_ id round-trips to the synced row's id;
    • a double click sends one request;
    • the sync delivering the same ack does not refetch;
    • a failure toasts;
    • a resolved incident has no button.
  • Hub scene tests:
    • an acked row leaves the firing count;
    • a click sends one request;
    • a failure toasts;
    • success patches the row.
  • Timeline unit tests:
    • ordering and labels for each event type;
    • the live state stays last;
    • the "reminders paused" note.
  • Results: src/page/alerts and src/lab 263 pass, web-data alerts 131 pass.
  • Checks: bun run typecheck (tsrs), .oxlintrc.effect.json lint and ui:patterns:check are clean.
  • Screenshots: from the lab with headless Chromium, before taken on origin/main and after on this branch.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Incidents can now be acknowledged or unacknowledged from the alerts inbox and incident page. Pending actions show a loading state, and incident details display who acknowledged an incident and how.
    • Incident timelines include acknowledgement activity. Acknowledged open incidents show that reminders are paused.
    • The alerts lab includes acknowledged incident examples.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Incident history now reports that notifications or acknowledgements may be missing when history fails to load.

The incident page gets an Acknowledge / Unacknowledge button in its header
and says who acknowledged it in the status line. The timeline shows each
acknowledgement, unacknowledgement and escalation-cleared ack from the
incident's events, refetched whenever the synced row's ack changes, and
notes that reminders are paused while acknowledged.

The alerts inbox sorts what still needs someone above what someone is on,
counts acknowledged incidents apart from firing ones, and gives every open
row an acknowledge button. The alerts lab shows both states.
…a failed history read

An ack later than the last check sorted below "Still breaching" (and below
"Waiting on data" for good), so the state still in effect now always ends
the timeline. A failed activity read now shows the timeline's error line
instead of silently dropping the acknowledgements. The lab's acknowledge
button sends a hub message the lab drops, not a theme message. Tests now
round-trip the API's inc_ id, draw the fetched history and unacknowledge.

Walkthrough

The alerts inbox and incident page now support acknowledging and unacknowledging open incidents. The incident page loads acknowledgement activity and displays it in the timeline. The alerts lab includes acknowledged incident examples.

Changes: Incident acknowledgement

Layer / File(s) Summary
Acknowledgement activity and shared operations
apps/web/src/page/alerts/shared/commands.ts, packages/web-data/src/alerts/incident-timeline.ts, packages/web-data/src/alerts/incident-timeline.test.ts
Shared commands update acknowledgement state and fetch incident activity. The timeline displays acknowledgement events, actor and source labels, and reminder details. Current-state entries are appended after timestamp-sorted historical entries.
Incident page acknowledgement
apps/web/src/page/alerts/incident/*
The incident page loads activity keyed by incident and acknowledgement timestamp. Open incidents can be acknowledged or unacknowledged. Successful updates refresh incident data; failures show an action-specific error toast.
Inbox acknowledgement controls
apps/web/src/page/alerts/hub/*
The inbox groups unheld unacknowledged incidents before acknowledged incidents and held incidents. Rows display acknowledgement details and controls. The hub tracks pending requests and updates loaded incident data from successful responses.
Acknowledgement lab fixtures
apps/web/src/lab/alerts-fixture.ts, apps/web/src/lab/alerts-lab/*
The lab fixtures can include Slack acknowledgement metadata. The lab renders regular and acknowledged incident examples and passes inbox acknowledgement actions through the hub message path.

Preview test, round 1 (preview:web): API

A separate agent tested api-pr-2288.maple.dev as the preview reviewer, calling the API through the dashboard's own /_api route with the browser session.

Setup. The Preview org had no alert rules. The agent created a webhook destination and two rules through the v2 API: throughput > 0 and error rate > 0. The preview's alert scheduler opened both incidents about 6.5 minutes later. It then raised the error-rate threshold, and that incident resolved within a minute.

Check Result
Acknowledge an open incident 200, acknowledged_by: {user_id, name: "Preview Reviewer"}, acknowledged_via: "web"
Acknowledge it again 200, acknowledged_at unchanged, no second event
Unacknowledge, then unacknowledge again 200 and 200, fields cleared, one event
Three acks sent at once (a double click) all 200, one acknowledged event
GET /:id/events oldest first, with actor and source
?acknowledged=true / false / maybe only the acked incident / only open unacked ones / 400
Acknowledge or unacknowledge a resolved incident 409 alert_incident_resolved
Unknown inc_… / malformed id 404 / 400

Console and network: no errors and no failed requests apart from the intentional edge cases.

Fixed after this run: the 409 message included the internal incident UUID. It no longer names the id (6577df5).

Not covered by this run: the UI. preview:web deploys without Electric live sync, and the alerts pages read incidents through it. The label is now switched to preview for a UI round, whose results will follow in another comment.

259-278: Trivial · Maintainability & Code Quality · Quick win

Use hstack for the action cell instead of a raw flex class string.

Lines 259-260 build a flex row with h.div([h.Class(cn(ROW_LINK_LIFT, "flex justify-end"))], ...). The repository rules route flex layout through hstack, which has a justify option. ROW_LINK_LIFT is not covered by the stack options, so pass it through className. This also avoids adding another copy of the flex justify-end class string that ui:patterns:check counts.

♻️ Proposed change

-				[h.Class(cn(ROW_LINK_LIFT, "flex justify-end"))],
-				[
-					button(
+			hstack(
+				h,
+				{ justify: "end", className: ROW_LINK_LIFT },
+				[
+					button(

The rest of the button(...) call and the closing brackets stay as they are.

As per coding guidelines: "Type and flex layout go through the kit too: ... hstack / vstack (ui/stack: gap, align, justify, wrap, shrink, grow) for a flex row or column."

Preview test, round 2 (preview): UI

A separate agent tested app-pr-2288.maple.dev, deployed from 9044aca, in headless Chromium as the preview reviewer. It used the open incident on the "throughput > 0" rule. The deploy also confirms the merge migration: it applied cleanly on a database that already had alert_incident_ack.

Flow Result
Inbox lists the open incident with an Acknowledge button pass
Ack from the inbox row pass: heading "0 firing · 1 acknowledged", subline "Acknowledged by Preview Reviewer ·", URL unchanged; unack restores it
Ack on the incident page pass: status line "… · Acknowledged by Preview Reviewer at 01:03 PM", button flips, timeline entry "From the dashboard · reminders paused", "Still breaching … reminders paused while acknowledged"; persists across reload
Unack on the incident page pass: "Unacknowledged by … · reminders resume", entries in order
Double-click Acknowledge pass: no toast, exactly one new acknowledged event
Resolved incident pass: no Acknowledge button
Ack through the API with the page open pass: button and status line update in the same second through live sync, timeline entry about 260ms later
Dark, light, 390px mobile pass: no horizontal scroll at 390px

No console errors, page errors or failed requests in any run.

Fixed after this run: the Inbox tab's red badge still counted an acknowledged incident ("Inbox 1" next to "0 firing"). It now counts only unacknowledged ones (50f2efe), with a scene assertion that fails without the fix. The first screenshot below predates the fix.

Inbox, acked Incident, acked Ack via API, live
Light inbox Light incident Mobile Resolved

Traces (env pr-2288)

Span n p50 p95 errors
HttpV2AlertIncidents.acknowledge 7 167ms 196ms 0
HttpV2AlertIncidents.unacknowledge 7 173ms 272ms 0
AlertIncidentAckService.acknowledge 7 48ms 63ms 0
AlertIncidentAckService.unacknowledge 7 64ms 109ms 0
AlertIncidentAckService.listEvents 6 35ms 47ms 0
OrgMembersService.resolveMembers 14 120ms 163ms 0

Each ack is one guarded UPDATE plus an event insert, so there is no N+1 (example trace a7f3ba65281d48730b4a052cf358eb93). Most of the HTTP time is the member-name lookup for the actor, which pages the org's member list. A single-user lookup would cut it, and is listed as a follow-up.

Maple review

🟢 Confidence 10/10 · safe to merge. The delta since 9044aca is one exported counting helper, a badge swap, an Option rewrite and two new scene assertions; the wider ack flow was reviewed and preview-tested.
no findings · tests covered · risk medium · 2/2 new units observable

Adds acknowledge/unacknowledge to the incident page header and the inbox rows, plus an ack-derived timeline, subline and heading counts. The change is safe to merge; the part added since the last review only narrows the Inbox tab badge to unacknowledged incidents.

  • inboxTab renders an Acknowledge/Unacknowledge button per row, lifted over rowLink
  • unacknowledgedCount now drives the Inbox tab badge instead of the open-incident total
  • buildIncidentTimeline merges incident activity events and pins the live state last
  • acknowledgeAction adds a header button on the incident page, absent once resolved
