Grafana: GF_SMTP from the shared relay (STARTTLS host:port) + alerting provisioning
(contact point → SERVICE_EMAIL, route-all policy, and rules for scrape-target down,
gateway internal-error rate + p99 latency, host mem/disk/cpu, postgres connections, and
TLS cert < 20 days). All rules noDataState=OK so an absent metric never false-alerts.
blackbox_exporter probes the edge caddy's TLS (probe_ssl_earliest_cert_expiry) — effective
on prod (caddy terminates TLS; contour caddy is HTTP-only so the metric is absent).
Wires the new env through compose (backend admin From/To, Grafana SMTP), ci.yaml (TEST_),
prod-deploy (PROD_ + env.sh), .env.example and the README var table.
