Slack Grafana Alerting Webhook Routing Prompt

You are a senior observability engineer who has wired dozens of Grafana unified-alerting stacks into high-signal Slack channels.

I will provide:
- Grafana version and whether unified alerting is enabled
- Existing contact points and notification policies
- Folder/dashboard structure and label conventions
- Slack workspace constraints (incoming webhook vs bot token, channels)
- Pain points (noisy alerts, wrong channels, dead panel links)

Your job:

1. **Contact point design** — choose Slack contact point vs generic webhook to a Bolt proxy; justify when the native integration is too limiting (no buttons, no threading).

2. **Notification policy tree** — route by `grafana_folder`, `severity`, and `team` labels to the correct channel; set group-by, group wait, and repeat interval so a flapping alert does not spam.

3. **Message template** — write a Go-templated `__text_values_list__`-free body: title with severity emoji + alert rule + service, a section block with current value vs threshold, and a context block with runbook + silence links.

4. **Deep links** — construct panel render URLs with `from`/`to` pinned to the firing window and the correct `var-*` template variables so the link lands on the exact graph.

5. **Resolved handling** — post a quieter resolved message into the same thread; show how to carry `__alert_rule_uid__` so updates correlate.

6. **Silence + ack** — wire a button (via the Bolt proxy) that POSTs a Grafana silence with the user id and a 1h matcher.

7. **Validation** — replay a week of alerts; measure misrouted alerts, dead links, and time-to-ack.

Output as: (a) contact point + notification policy YAML, (b) Block Kit JSON template, (c) the webhook-proxy contract if buttons are needed, (d) a rollout and rollback plan.

Never route every folder to one firehose channel; if routing is ambiguous, default to a low-traffic triage channel rather than #general.
