feat(alerts): alert silences that hold back notifications - #2290
Silences for alert rules: quiet a deploy or a planned migration without disabling rules. Stack 1/3 (backend + v2 API); MCP tools and the dashboard follow in the next two PRs.
What a silence does
Matches rules by rule id, tag, service and environment. Fields AND, values OR. Services and environments must cover a rule's whole scope, or the incident's group on a rule grouped by service.name / deployment.environment (or a multi-service rule keyed by service). A silence on checkout never mutes an ungrouped [checkout, payments] rule.
While active, rules still evaluate and incidents still open and resolve. Deliveries are written with status silenced (never drained) and the phone push is skipped. The incident records silence_id, and silenced_at while a page is owed.
When every matching silence has ended and the incident is still breaching, the next check sends the held-back page once (trigger if nothing was ever delivered, else renotify).
A resolve during a silence reaches only destinations already paged, or still being paged (queued or retrying), before it began. An incident nobody was paged for resolves silently.
A silenced reminder moves no renotify anchor, so the flap detector is not fooled.
Changes
alert_silences table, nullable silence_id / silenced_at on incidents, silence_id on delivery events (one additive migration).
AlertSilencesService (list, get, create, update, end; alerts:manage; 30-day cap; 200 open per org). Ending a scheduled silence cancels it; rows are never deleted once started.
AlertsService: silence lookup on every notify path (open, continue/escalate, the three resolve paths), held-back pages recorded in the claimed incident write.
/v2/alerts/silences: list (status filter), retrieve, create (ends_at or duration_minutes), update, POST /:id/end, with audit events. silence_id / silenced_at on the v2 incident, silenced delivery status.
Verification
AlertsService.silences.test.ts (12, scheduler-driven): held-back trigger and no push, one record per silence, catch-up trigger and catch-up renotify, scoped resolve (paged, never paged, owed after the silence, trigger still retrying), partial scope does not match, scheduled start, service validation and role check, end/extend/list.
Matcher table tests in domain (20), v2 HTTP tests (create/list/extend/end/404, 400s, scope 403), OpenAPI and contract tests updated.
Backend alerts suite 511/511, API alerts HTTP 22/22, DB parity test, scoped typechecks and the CI lint config clean.
Reviewed by an independent sub agent; its findings (held-back page written under the claim, in-flight pages count as paged, non-throwing decoders) are fixed in 227eba3.
Follow-ups
The rule-edit resolve paths still infer flapping from lastDeliveredEventType == null && lastNotifiedAt != null; a catch-up whose deliveries all fail can make a later rule-edit resolve skip its all-clear. A positive flap marker in the lifecycle core would fix it.
A silence matches rules by rule id, tag, service and environment (fields AND,
values OR; services and environments must cover the rule's whole scope or the
incident's group). While one is in force, rules still evaluate and incidents
still open and resolve, but deliveries are written as `silenced` and the phone
push is skipped. The incident records the silence, and the first breaching check
after it ends sends the held-back page once. A resolve during a silence reaches
only destinations that were paged before it.
Adds the alert_silences table, AlertSilencesService, and /v2/alerts/silences
(list, retrieve, create, update, end) with audit events.
…pages as paged
- The first page a silence holds back now sets silence_id / silenced_at in the
claimed incident refresh, not in a separate unfenced update that a failure or a
concurrent resolve could split from the silenced delivery rows.
- A resolve during a silence reaches every destination with a non-silenced page,
including one still queued or retrying, so a page in flight is never left open.
- Silence documents decode without throwing; the v2 handler turns a bad timestamp
into a 400 and counts a duration from the clamped start.
This change adds alert silences with matcher rules, lifecycle operations, and v2 endpoints. Matching silences hold trigger and reminder notifications while alert evaluation continues. The service records held deliveries and incident metadata, then queues eligible notifications after a silence ends.
Adds matcher and status contracts, nullable incident silence metadata, a tenant-scoped silence table and migration, public IDs, audit labels, and organization-purge registration.
Silence matching and service operations packages/backend/src/services/alerts/alert-silence-store.ts, packages/backend/src/services/alerts/AlertSilencesService.ts, packages/backend/src/services/alerts/AlertsService.silences.test.ts, packages/backend/src/services/alerts/alerts-service-test-support.ts
Adds active-silence selection and organization-scoped list, retrieve, create, update, and end operations. Service tests cover validation, permissions, and lifecycle operations.
Notification suppression and catch-up packages/backend/src/services/alerts/AlertsService.ts, packages/backend/src/observability/AlertingMetrics.ts, packages/backend/src/services/alerts/AlertsService.silences.test.ts
Alert processing records silenced deliveries and held incident metadata. It sends an eligible trigger or reminder after a silence ends and records metrics for held and catch-up notifications.
Maps silence metadata and the silenced delivery status through incident responses and web data. Updates the iOS OpenAPI document and incident fixtures.
MapleTechLabs/maple#1940: The silence catch-up can use renotify, which the Linear destination skips.

- alert_silences is registered as org-scoped, so deleting an org purges it.
- The v2 create always sends the start it counted a duration from, and the service
keeps a start within its clock-skew allowance as given instead of clamping it to
a later now, so duration_minutes=60 is exactly an hour.

…ch-up rows with the refresh
- A builder_query rule that groups through its draft (rule-level groupBy null) now
matches a service or environment silence per group: alertSilenceGroupBy reads the
draft grouping and canonicalises service_name / deployment_environment.
- The catch-up page's delivery rows are prepared before, and inserted in, the same
claimed write that clears silenced_at, so a failure cannot lose the owed page.
- Drop the silence fields wrongly added to an anomaly fixture.

An acknowledged incident gets no reminder, so the page a silence held back is not
sent when the silence ends either. silenced_at stays, so an escalation that clears

…calation settles it
- The catch-up is committed by a conditional update (acknowledged_at is null and a page is
still owed), so an ack that lands after the tick's prefetch keeps it owed and unsent.
- Any other page sent while one is owed (an escalation, which pages through an ack) clears
silenced_at, so the next check does not send a second one.

…ch-up is claimed
On a catch-up tick the refresh no longer advances lastNotifiedAt; the conditional catch-up
write does, so a late ack that keeps the page unsent leaves the anchor alone.
…during it
lastDeliveredEventType only tracks destination deliveries, so a phone-only rule never set
it. The resolve push is now skipped only when the page is still owed and nothing was
ever delivered.
… under a silence
An incident's owed mark equals its first trigger only when it opened under a silence, the
one case its trigger was never pushed; a reminder held later leaves a phone that was paged,
so it gets the all-clear. The silenced metric and log fire only when something was held.

Adds alert silences: an org-scoped table, matcher, service and /v2/alerts/silences API that write held-back deliveries as silenced while rules keep evaluating, then send one catch-up page. Safe to merge; the open VcsWebhookEnqueueFailure error in http-graph.ts is untouched by this diff.
