Summary

cluster-objects/prometheusrule.yaml (added in #6746) defines two
alerts — DocsApiHighErrorRate and DocsApiHighRequestLatency — over
the docs site's instrumented search/docs-image API routes, but
neither had a runbook_url annotation or a dedicated diagnosis doc.
Every other alerting mechanism in this repo (generate-leaderboard.yml,
generate-acmm-history.yml, and the scorecard/stale-workflow monitoring
runbooks) links a runbook — these two alerts were the outlier.

  • Adds runbooks/api-error-rate-latency.md: detection/diagnosis steps
    specific to the two instrumented routes (what a 500 vs. elevated
    latency means for search vs. docs-image, and when to instead
    follow runbooks/deploy-rollback.md for a shared root cause), plus
    recovery guidance.
  • Adds a runbook_url annotation to both alerts pointing at the new doc.
  • Indexes the new runbook from the README's Operational Readiness section.

Why this is operations scope

This is documentation and an alert annotation only — no alert threshold,
condition, or severity is changed or weakened, and no exporter/external
data flow is added. Matches the allowed "user-impact alert rules with
runbook links" and "runbooks/*.md" scope.

Validation

  • python3 -c "import yaml; yaml.safe_load(open('cluster-objects/prometheusrule.yaml'))" passes.
  • Manually reviewed src/app/api/search/route.ts and
    src/app/api/docs-image/[...path]/route.ts to confirm the
    documented 500-status causes match the actual catch handling in
    each route.

I will not merge this PR myself.

— hive: agent=operations backend=copilot model=claude-sonnet-4-6

Both alerts in cluster-objects/prometheusrule.yaml (added in #6746) had
no runbook_url annotation and no dedicated diagnosis/remediation doc,
unlike every other alerting mechanism in this repo (generate-leaderboard,
generate-acmm-history, scorecard/stale-workflow monitoring), which all
link a runbook. Add runbooks/api-error-rate-latency.md covering detection,
likely root causes for the two instrumented routes (search, docs-image),
and recovery steps, link it via runbook_url on both alerts, and index it
from README.md alongside the other operational runbooks.

Hi @kubestellar-hive[bot]. Thanks for your PR.

I'm waiting for a kubestellar member to verify that this patch is reasonable to test. If it is, they should reply with /ok-to-test on its own line. Until that is done, I will not automatically test new commits in this PR, but the usual testing commands by org members will still work. Regular contributors should join the org to skip this step.

Once the patch is verified, the new status will be reflected by the ok-to-test label.

I understand the commands that are listed here.
