Most alert insights are now tagged by a deterministic rule engine that runs in milliseconds and produces consistent output for the same input. The classifier buckets each insight into one of five states — `healthy`, `degradation`, `recovery`, `anomaly`, or `change` — using anomaly scores, error rates, response-time trends, and recent deployment correlation.

The slower explanation path still kicks in for ambiguous cases, but routine incidents no longer pay that cost.
