What

The Apdex card named a score nobody could derive from the chart it sits above.

  • Docs page /docs/alerting/apdex-alerts: what the score is (band diagram, formula panel, worked example), how to pick T, how to read a score, why it catches regressions a p95 alert misses, a four-step setup walkthrough with screenshots, the same rule over POST /v2/alerts/rules, tuning fields, known limitations, FAQ.
  • Tooltip: WidgetShell takes an optional titleHint ({ text, href }) rendered as an info icon beside the card title. Hover explains in one line, click opens the docs page. MetricsGrid forwards it; service detail, release detail and the chart bench set it from one shared APDEX_HINT.
  • bun run dev:signin: mints a Clerk sign-in ticket over the Backend API and prints a link that lands a local browser signed in. Needed for the screenshots, useful every time a local session is wanted. Refuses any key that is not sk_test_; no auth bypass exists in the app itself, the ticket goes through Clerk's normal flow.

Accuracy

Checked against the code, not the general literature: buckets and formula from apdexExprs (satisfied < T, tolerating T–4T at half weight, error status frustrated at any duration); measured over entry-point spans (service_overview_spans); form fields and the Low Apdex score template from templates.ts / form-utils.ts; API shape from v2/alert-rules.ts; one-minute evaluation cadence from apps/alerting/src/scheduled.ts.

Verification

turbo run typecheck --filter=@maple/web and turbo run test --filter=@maple/landing pass. Docs page rendered locally end to end, screenshots captured from the running app at 2x and checked in the rendered page. Tooltip verified in the browser on /lab/bench/service-detail: hover shows the copy, the icon links to the docs page.

The Apdex card named a score nobody could derive from the chart. Widget
headers now take an optional titleHint, rendered as an info icon beside
the title, and the service and release overviews use it to spell out the
500ms target and the satisfied/tolerating/frustrated buckets.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds structured chart title hints. Apdex charts use shared text and documentation links, which flow through release and service metric grids to linked tooltips beside widget titles.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 546d9

The change adds Apdex guidance and metric hints, but still has a documentation lint violation and an accessibility regression for keyboard users opening non-linked hints. The PR is low risk with targeted follow-up required.

The tooltip was carrying the whole definition of the score, which is more
than a hover can hold. It now says what Apdex measures in one line and the
icon links to a docs page that covers the formula, how to pick T, how to
read a score, and how to build the alert rule in the dashboard or over the
API.

Keep non-link hint triggers keyboard accessible.

When titleHint.href is absent, TooltipPrimitive.Trigger renders the provided span. A span cannot receive keyboard focus, so keyboard users cannot open the tooltip. Render a keyboard-focusable element, such as a button, for this branch.

The page was a column of gray prose. The three buckets are now a band
diagram across the latency axis plus a card per bucket, the formula and
the worked example get their own panels (the example as a stacked bar),
T guidance is a grid of concrete numbers, and the score ranges read as
colored chips instead of a table. The chart bench carries the same hint
as the real service page so the tooltip is reachable without a session.
The top of the page was the part a reader decides on, and it was three
paragraphs of muted body text. It now opens with two lede paragraphs and
a p95-vs-Apdex contrast pair, and the bucket terms carry the same colors
in prose that the band diagram uses on the axis.
…free dev sign-in

The setup section described a form nobody could see. It is now four steps
with a shot of the template dialog, the signal panel with the Apdex target
and threshold, and the scope panel.

Capturing those needed a signed-in local browser, which until now meant
typing the dev password into Clerk's form. `bun run dev:signin` mints a
Clerk sign-in ticket over the Backend API instead and prints the link. It
refuses any key that is not `sk_test_`, and the app keeps no bypass of its
own: the ticket goes through Clerk's normal magic-link flow.
Body text is body text. The colored terms carry the opening on their own.
The dialog autofocuses its first card, so the shot pointed at High error
rate while the step said to pick Low Apdex score.
The step named fields the reader had no picture of, and evaluation timing
is collapsed behind a summary line in the product, so it is the one panel
a reader is least likely to find on their own.
…ok like one

An agent can build the rule over MCP with the same validation the API
applies, which is worth saying on the page that teaches the rule. The
tooltip's docs affordance was gray body text; it now reads as the link
the icon actually is.
It listed tool names the reader never types. What they need is: connect
the server, ask for the alert in words, here is a prompt that works.
