feat(storybook): add the story screenshot sweep and diff (#12799)

## Description

This add a tool to help you take screenshot of the UI using the
Storybook Stories, and also run a diff similar to Chromatic UI.

The idea is to speedup local comparisons and then when you think it's
ready/good enough, then we open a PR and actually run the Chromatic.

All the screenshots taken will be stored at `frontend/.story-shots`.

Eg of a diff with green as highlight for the changes:

<img width="1680" height="1200" alt="pages-home--loading"
src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/0c9b8ae1-4709-44a1-a9e8-3268e2b2a485"

+description: Explore a SigNoz page, map the endpoints, states and query params it has, then write its Storybook page story with control-driven msw mocks that reach every state. Use when asked to create, extend or review a Storybook story for a page under frontend/src/pages, to add controls to an existing page story, or to write defineStoryMocks handlers and mock data for a page.
+---
+
+# SigNoz page stories
+
+A page story renders the real page inside the real app shell against msw, and its
+controls panel can reach every state the page has. The panel is the deliverable,
+not the story list.
+
+`frontend/src/storybook/README.md` is the API surface (providers, parameters,
+control builders, module mocks, navigation). Read it first; this skill is the
+process on top of it.
+
+## Workflow
+
+1. **Map the page**: [references/discovery.md](references/discovery.md). Produce
+   the inventory (endpoints, states, params, permissions, caps) before writing
+   code. No inventory, no story.
+2. **Skeleton first**: story + empty `defineStoryMocks`, then run it. The console
+   names the endpoints step 1 missed.
+3. **Inventory to controls**: [references/controls.md](references/controls.md).
+4. **Mock data and handlers**: builders in `__story_mockdata__`, handlers in the page's
+   mocks module.
+5. **Verify in the browser**: [references/verify.md](references/verify.md). Never
+   report the story as done without it.
+
+## Rules
+
+- **Default is the loaded page.** `export const Default: Story = {}` with no args,
+  every widget carrying data. Empty, loading and failed are variants or control
+  values, never the default.
+- **A control is a knob on a response**, resolved through `handlers`, `config` or
+  `effect`. Never a component prop, never a module mock added for one story.
+- **Every branch in the inventory is reachable from the panel.** A state that
+  needs a code edit to see is a missing control.
+- **Never re-declare what every story already has**: banner, side nav, data state
+  (loaded/loading/error), access preset, permissions, check state.
+- **A variant earns a story only when it is worth linking to**: an empty
+  workspace, a viewer, a page mid-load. Everything else stays a control.
+- **Endpoints the page owns go through `response.json`**, so the Data control
+  covers loaded, loading and failed in one declaration. Endpoints the page cannot
+  render without (ingestion detection, preferences, feature payloads) take a
+  plain resolver so the shell survives the loading and error states.
+- **Query-param state starts from `route`** (`/logs?tab=explorer`). In-page param
+  navigation works inside a story; a different pathname is blocked and reported
+  by the overlay. A control for a param is worth it only when the param is a page
+  mode someone would want to flip.
+- **File layout**: every story file for a page lives under
+  `src/pages/<Page>/stories/`: `<Page>.stories.tsx`, `<Page>.stories.mocks.tsx`,
+  payload builders in `stories/__story_mockdata__/<page>.ts`. Nothing
+  page-specific in `src/storybook/controls/`.
+- **The mocks are AI-owned and say so.** `<Page>.stories.mocks.tsx` and every file
+  under a `__story_mockdata__/` open with this banner, above the imports:
+
+  ```ts
+  /**
+   * AI-owned. Generated and maintained by the `signoz-page-story` skill.
+   * Do not hand-edit: regenerate instead.
+   */
+  ```
+
+  The root `.gitattributes` marks both paths `linguist-generated=true`, so the
+  reviewer gets them collapsed and spends the attention on the rendered page. The
+  story file is the human surface and never carries the banner. A file with the
+  banner has to stay regenerable from the page alone: no page knowledge in
+  `src/storybook/`, and builders typed from `src/api/generated` where the endpoint
+  has types, so a contract change is a compile error instead of a mock that lies.
+- **Reuse fixtures** from `src/mocks-server/` and `src/tests/fixtures/` where they
+  exist. An endpoint jest needs too belongs in `src/mocks-server/handlers.ts`.
+- **Shared response builders live in `src/storybook/msw/__story_mockdata__/`**: typed
+  helpers like `queryRangeV5ScalarResponse` that multiple pages need. Before
+  writing a response shape inline, check if a builder exists; if not and the
+  shape will repeat, add it there. Page-specific builders stay in the page's
+  `__story_mockdata__/`.
+- **No comment is the default.** Write one only for what the code cannot show:
+  a shape the backend dictates, an app bug the mock reproduces, an ordering or
+  cap the page depends on, a workaround and the reason for it. Never restate a
+  name, a type, or what a builder plainly builds; if the sentence reads as the
+  signature in prose, delete it. Nothing addressed to a reviewer. The one
+  comment a story always gets is its own doc comment: what it shows, in the
+  page's own terms.
+
+## Done means
+
+- [ ] `Default` shows the page with data, checked in dark and light
+- [ ] the mocks module and every `__story_mockdata__` file carry the AI-owned banner
+- [ ] every control flipped once, its effect seen on screen
+- [ ] console clean: no `[storybook] no msw handler`, no 501, no msw unhandled

+# Turning the inventory into controls
+
+Every row of the inventory becomes a control, a global control that already
+exists, or a documented reason it cannot be one.
+
+## Imports
+
+Paths written as `src/storybook/...` in prose are repo paths, not import
+specifiers. Stories import through the `@/` alias (`@/*` → `./src/*`); modules
+inside `src/storybook/` import each other relatively.
+
+| Import | From |
+| --- | --- |
+| `toggleControl`, `countControl`, `choiceControl`, `multiChoiceControl` | `../controls/controls` |
+| `defineStoryMocks`, `storyMocks` | `../controls/defineStoryMocks` |
+| `PageStoryArgs` | `../controls/resolveStoryMocks` |
+| `MockRequest`, `MockResponse` | `../controls/types` |
+| the page's mocks, from the story | `./<Page>.stories.mocks` |
+| `queryRangeV5ScalarResponse`, `queryRangeV5RawResponse`, etc. | `@/storybook/msw/__story_mockdata__/queryRange` |
+
+## Which builder
+
+`src/storybook/controls/controls.ts`:
+
+| The state is | Builder |
+| --- | --- |
+| on or off (a signal ingesting, a feature present) | `toggleControl` |
+| how many rows a list has | `countControl` |
+| one of several modes (tab, visibility, plan, severity filter) | `choiceControl` |
+| a subset (steps skipped, columns shown, signals selected) | `multiChoiceControl` |
+
+Rules that come with them:
+
+- `countControl` `max` goes past what the page renders, so a story can show the
+  cap being hit. `0` is the empty state, which is why an empty list rarely needs
+  its own story. When the cap is in the *request* (`?limit=5`) rather than the
+  renderer, stop `max` at the limit: a longer response is a body the backend
+  cannot send.
+- `choiceControl` options come from a `const` array typed with
+  `(typeof X)[number]`, not from string literals scattered in the handlers.
+- Defaults describe the fully-populated page. The panel starts where `Default`
+  starts.
+- `group` is `'<Page> · <facet>'`, such as `'Services · lists'` or
+  `'Alerts · rules'`. Keep a page's knobs in two or three groups, not one per
+  control.
+- `description` only when the name does not carry the effect (what dismissing
+  does, what the cap is, which widget it feeds).
+
+## Which hook
+
+`defineStoryMocks` takes three, all optional:
+
+- `handlers(values, response)`: the page's endpoints. Everything the page owns
+  goes through `response.json`, so the global Data control turns the whole page
+  into loading or failed without a second declaration. An endpoint the page
+  cannot render at all without (ingestion detection, preferences, license
+  payloads) takes a plain `rest.get(...)` resolver instead, so the shell stays
+  visible while the rest hangs or fails.
+- `config(values)`: `SignozStoryConfig` for knobs no endpoint covers: `route`,
+  `appContext`, `reduxState`, `queryBuilder`, `theme`.
+- `effect(values)`: module-level state no provider exposes.
+
+One endpoint feeding several widgets stays one handler that reads the request.
+`response.json` hands the request to the builder and awaits it, so reading a
+query param, or a POST body, does not cost the Data control:
+
+```ts
+rest.get(
+	'http://localhost/api/v1/explorer/views',
+	response.json((req) =>
+		savedViews(values.savedViews, req.url.searchParams.get('sourcePage') ?? 'logs'),
+	),
+),
+```
+
+```ts
+rest.post(
+	'http://localhost/api/v5/query_range',
+	response.json(async (req) => {
+		const body = (await req.json()) as QueryRangeRequestV5;
+		const signal = body.compositeQuery?.queries?.[0]?.spec?.signal;
+
+		return countResponse(values[`${signal}Ingestion`] ? 4213 : 0);
+	}),
+),
+```
+
+Reach for a plain `rest.post(url, async (req, res, ctx) => …)` only when the
+endpoint has to keep answering while the Data control is on `loading` or
+`error`: detection calls the page cannot render without.
+
+## Mutations
+
+A control drives the response, so a write the page makes against state a control
+owns does not stick: the refetch answers with the control's value and the button
+appears to do nothing. Two honest options: leave it declarative and say so in
+the PR, or move the state into `effect` so the handler can read what the page
+wrote. Never fake the write by mutating a builder's module state without saying
+where the state lives.
+
+## Wiring it up
+
+```ts
+// src/pages/Services/stories/Services.stories.mocks.tsx
+/**
+ * AI-owned. Generated and maintained by the `signoz-page-story` skill.
+ * Do not hand-edit: regenerate instead.
+ */
+export const servicesMocks = defineStoryMocks({
+	controls: {
+		services: countControl('Services', { group: LISTS, value: 8, max: 12 }),
+		apdex: choiceControl<ApdexState>('Apdex', {
+			group: HEALTH,
+			options: APDEX_STATES,
+			value: 'mixed',
+		}),
+	},
+	handlers: (values, response) => [
+		rest.post(
+			'http://localhost/api/v2/services',
+			response.json(() => buildServices(values.services, values.apdex)),
+		),
+	],
+});
+```
+
+```tsx
+// src/pages/Services/stories/Services.stories.tsx
+type ServicesArgs = PageStoryArgs<typeof servicesMocks>;
+
+const meta = {
+	title: 'Pages/Services',
+	component: Services,
+	...storyMocks(servicesMocks, { route: ROUTES.APPLICATION, layout: 'app' }),
+} satisfies Meta<ServicesArgs>;
+```
+
+`PageStoryArgs` folds in the global controls, so a story's `args` can set
+`access`, `dataState` or `banner` next to the page's own knobs and stay typed.
+
+## Not a control
+
+- Anything the global controls already cover: banner, side nav, data state,
+  access preset, permissions, check state.
+- A knob whose effect nobody can see on the page. Delete it or find the widget it
+  was supposed to drive.
+- A raw payload as an object control. Controls carry intent (`5 dashboards`,
+  `viewer`), and the builder turns intent into the payload.
+- Anything that needs a module mock or a component prop to work. If the state
+  cannot be produced from a response, config or module state, say so in the PR
+  instead of faking it.
+
+## Control or story
+
+Default to a control. Write a story when the state is worth a link:
+
+- the fresh workspace, because that is what a new user sees
+- the restricted user, when permissions visibly change the page
+- a page-defining mode (a tab, a category) that has its own layout
+
+Combinations of controls do not need stories, which is what the panel is for.
+
+Each story gets one prose doc comment: what it shows, in the page's own terms.
+Everywhere else the comment rule in SKILL.md applies: write one only for what
+the code cannot show.

+# Mapping a page
+
+Two passes: read the code, then let the running story correct you. Write the
+inventory down: it is what the controls are derived from, and the only
+protection against a story that renders one state and calls it a page.
+
+## Pass 1: read the page
+
+Start at `src/pages/<Page>/` and follow it outward: the containers it mounts
+(`src/container/<Feature>/`), the hooks those use, the components with their own
+fetches. Stop at leaf components that take props only.
+
+Grep recipes, run against the page's directories:
+
+| Looking for | Grep |
+| --- | --- |
+| endpoints | `useQuery\|useMutation\|useInfiniteQuery`, then the `api/` module it calls |
+| endpoint URLs | the api module's `axios.get\|post` |
+| endpoint URLs behind a generated hook | the hook lives in `src/api/generated/services/<name>/index.ts` and the URL only appears in the fetcher body: `rg 'url: \`' src/api/generated/services/<name>/` |
+| url state | `useUrlQuery\|useUrlQueryData\|useUrlSearchState\|useQueryState\|QueryParams\.` |
+| navigation | `useSafeNavigate\|history.push\|<Link` |
+| permissions | `useAuthZ\|AuthZGuard\|AuthZButton\|hasEditPermission\|routePermission` |
+| flags and prefs | `useFeatureFlag\|FeatureKeys\.\|USER_PREFERENCES\.\|userPreferences` |
+| empty and error branches | `isLoading\|isError\|isFetching\|length === 0\|!data` |
+| render caps | `slice(0,\|PAGE_SIZE\|pageSize\|limit` |
+
+`src/constants/routes.ts` has the route, `src/constants/query.ts` the param names,
+`src/lib/authz/README.md` how a permission check resolves.
+
+## The inventory
+
+One table, in the story's PR or scratch notes:
+
+| Endpoint | Feeds | States it can be in |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| `GET /api/v1/x` | the header count | populated, zero, error |
+
+Plus four short lists:
+
+- **Query params** the page reads, and what each one switches.
+- **Permission checks** the page makes, and what disappears when each is denied.
+- **Preferences and flags** that change layout (dismissed banners, onboarding
+  checklists, opt-in views).
+- **Caps**: how many rows each list renders before it truncates or paginates.
+
+A state that appears in this inventory and not in the controls panel is a bug in
+the story.
+
+## Pass 2: let it run
+
+Write the story and an empty `defineStoryMocks({ controls: {} })`, point it at the
+route with `layout: 'app'`, then open it (see verify.md). The console is the
+oracle:
+
+- `[storybook] no msw handler` or a 501 from the catch-all: an endpoint pass 1
+  missed. Add it to the inventory.
+- an msw unhandled-request warning: a request going to an origin the handlers do
+  not answer on. handlers are declared against `http://localhost`.
+- a spinner that never resolves with the Data control on `loaded`: a handler
+  whose URL does not match what the page calls.
+- the navigation overlay on mount: the page redirects, usually because `route`
+  is wrong or a guard is failing on a permission the controls have not granted.
+
+Repeat until the console is silent. Only then start declaring controls.

+# Verifying a page story
+
+A story is not done because it compiles. It is done when each control has been
+seen changing the page and the console is silent.
+
+## Run it
+
+```bash
+cd frontend && pnpm storybook --ci --quiet   # :6006, background it
+```
+
+A newly added `.stories.tsx` takes a few seconds to appear in `index.json` on an
+already-running server; an empty first poll is not a broken `stories` glob.
+
+Story ids come from the meta title: `Pages/Services` → `pages-services`, plus the
+story export in kebab-case. Render one story on its own:
+
+```
+http://localhost:6006/iframe.html?id=pages-services--default&viewMode=story
+```
+
+## Flip controls from the URL
+
+Args are settable in the iframe URL, so a whole sweep runs headless without
+touching the panel. Booleans go as `!true` / `!false`, numbers bare, arrays
+indexed, several separated by `;`, and the theme through `globals`:
+
+```
+&args=services:0;apdex:poor;access:viewer;dataState:loading
+&args=signals[0]:logs;signals[1]:traces
+&globals=theme:light
+```
+
+That is the cheap way to check a control does something: load with and without
+it, diff the page text.
+
+## Drive it
+
+Playwright lives in the repo's e2e workspace, so a scratch script can use it
+directly:
+
+```js
+import pw from '<repo>/tests/e2e/node_modules/playwright/index.js';
+const { chromium } = pw;
+
+const browser = await chromium.launch();
+const page = await browser.newPage();
+const problems = [];
+page.on('console', (m) => {
+	if (m.type() === 'error' || m.type() === 'warning') problems.push(m.text());
+});
+page.on('pageerror', (e) => problems.push(e.message));
+
+await page.goto(`${story}&args=services:0`, { waitUntil: 'networkidle' });
+await page.locator('body').waitFor();
+console.log((await page.locator('body').innerText()).slice(0, 1500), problems);
+await browser.close();
+```
+
+Screenshots are worth taking for `Default` in both themes
+(`&globals=theme:light`): text extraction does not catch an unstyled page.
+
+## Gates
+
+- **Console silent.** `[storybook] no msw handler`, a 501 from the catch-all, an
+  msw unhandled-request warning, a React key or state warning: assume the story
+  is wrong first. A warning that survives is sometimes the app's. Prove it by
+  turning off the control that renders the widget and watching the warning go
+  with it, and by finding the same component elsewhere doing it right. Then
+  report the app bug in the PR. Never invent a field the API does not return to
+  silence a warning.
+- **No navigation overlay on mount.** "Navigation blocked in Storybook" on load
+  means the page is trying to leave: wrong `route`, or a guard denying on a
+  permission the controls did not grant.
+- **Every control moves something.** Sweep them one at a time from the URL and
+  diff the page text. A control with no diff is either wired to nothing or aimed
+  at a widget that is not rendering. Some only show their effect after an
+  interaction, such as a tab that has to be clicked or a select that has to be
+  opened. Drive that interaction rather than calling the control unobservable.
+- **Both themes render styled.** An unstyled page means the story is not inside
+  the provider decorator, or `<body data-theme>` was lost.
+- **Roles agree.** `<body data-signoz-story-role>` and
+  `<body data-signoz-context-role>` disagreeing means the page reads a different
+  `AppContext` than the story config fills.
+- **The page's own navigation works.** Tabs, filters and pagination that write
+  query params should re-render the page in place; only leaving the page belongs
+  in the overlay.
+
+## Then the usual
+
+```bash
+pnpm tsgo --noEmit
+pnpm exec oxlint <changed files>
+pnpm exec oxfmt --check <changed files>
+```
+
+There is no prettier in this repo. `pnpm exec prettier --check` fetches something
+else, prints `Prettier: All files formatted correctly` and exits 254: a pass that is
+not one.
+
+## Common failures
+
+| Symptom | Cause |
+| --- | --- |
+| endless spinner with Data on `loaded` | handler URL does not match the call; handlers answer on `http://localhost` |
+| page renders but empty | response shape wrong; compare against the api module's type, not a guess |
+| 501 in the console | endpoint nobody mocked; the catch-all is answering |
+| new control missing from the panel | project-level control added; the tab needs a reload |
+| control flips but nothing changes | the widget is gated by something else: a permission, a flag, a preference |
+| shell disappears in `loading` | an endpoint the shell needs went through `response.json`; give it a plain resolver |

+## 0. Settle what is being compared, first
+
+A diff is only worth taking when the two runs straddle something. Run twice over
+the same tree and the answer is zero, or the noise floor: true, and useless.
+So before starting a server, pin down four things. Whatever the prompt already
+says, take it and do not ask again; ask only for what is genuinely missing, in
+**one** `AskUserQuestion` call.
+
+| To settle | Ask | Options |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| Job | "What should this run produce?" | shoot only · baseline for a change you are about to make · compare against a change already in the working tree · compare this branch against another (`main` by default, or one the user names) · compare two configurations of the same story (`--args`, clock, width) · noise floor (same tree twice) |
+| Scope | "Which stories?" | offer 2-3 concrete selections read off `index.json` (a page, a `--title` prefix, everything), never open-ended |
+| Themes | "Which themes?" | dark · dark + light |
+| Read-out | "How should the diff read?" | `green` (changed pixels over the after shot) · `green-parallel` (before \| after \| diff, side by side) · `red` · `red-parallel` · `none` (keep both runs, do not diff) |
+
+Skip a row when the prompt answers it, and skip the whole call when the prompt
+answers all of it ("shoot the pods tooltips in both themes" needs no question).
+Skip Read-out too whenever the job is *shoot only*, and take `none` for what it
+says: shoot both sides, report both paths, run no comparison. When the prompt
+says nothing at all, ask; a silent guess here burns ~6 min per sweep on the
+wrong stories.
+
+The job decides which loop below to run:
+
+| Job | Loop |
+| --- | --- |
+| **shoot only** | §1, §2, stop. Report the paths. No diff, no second run. |
+| **baseline first** | the full loop, stopping after step 2 to hand the change back. The user makes it, then continue at step 4. |
+| **change already in the tree** | the tree *is* the after state. `git stash` (or check out the base commit) to shoot the before, restore, shoot the after. Confirm the working tree is clean enough to stash before touching it, and restore it even if a capture fails. |
+| **branch vs branch** | shoot the current branch, then `git switch <base>` in place (stash first if the tree is dirty), restart the dev server, shoot again, switch back and unstash. Restart matters: HMR does not survive a whole-branch swap cleanly. Get the tree back to where it started even if a capture fails. |
+| **noise floor** | two runs, same tree, diff. The number is the harness's floor, not a finding. |
+| **config vs config** | same tree, two runs that differ only in flags: `--args`, `--clock`, `--width`, `--theme`, `--motion`. Filenames stay identical, so the pairs line up and the caption names what changed. |
+
+## The loop
+
+1. Capture the baseline **before touching anything**.
+2. Capture it a second time and diff the two. That is the noise floor: anything
+   it reports is what the harness cannot hold still, and no conclusion about the
+   change may rest on those stories. Cheap on a handful of stories, ~6 min per
+   32, so on a wide sweep run it over the two or three stories the change is
+   aimed at instead of all of them.
+3. Make the change.
+4. Capture again into a third directory.
+5. Diff, then read the tinted shot of the largest movers to judge the change.
+
+## 1. One dev server, on a free port
+
+`storybook dev` keys its Vite dep cache off the config dir, so two servers on the
+same `-c` serve mismatched prebundles and every story dies with `Invalid hook
+call`. Check what is already up first — port 6006 is often another repo's
+Storybook, and its `index.json` then indexes the wrong stories:
+
+```bash
+for port in 6006 6007; do
+  curl -s -m 2 "http://localhost:$port/index.json" | head -c 60 && echo "  <- $port"
+done
+```
+
+Start the SigNoz one on a free port, from the repo's own binary so no package
+manager shim is in the way:
+
+```bash
+cd frontend
+nohup ./node_modules/.bin/storybook dev -p 6007 --no-open --quiet \
+  > "${TMPDIR:-/tmp}/signoz-storybook.log" 2>&1 &
+```
+
+It is ready when `curl -s localhost:6007/index.json` returns JSON whose
+`entries` hold SigNoz story ids.
+
+## 2. Capture
+
+Playwright is not a frontend dependency. The script finds it in `tests/e2e`
+(`pnpm -C tests/e2e install`, `@playwright/test` is enough) or in a global
+install, and launches Playwright's own chromium, falling back to an installed
+Chrome. Two escape hatches when that is not what a machine has:
+
+```bash
+export PLAYWRIGHT_MODULE=/path/to/playwright   # a different install
+export CHROME_PATH=/path/to/chrome             # a specific browser binary
+```
+
+Then pick the stories. `--list` prints the selection without shooting anything:
+
+```bash
+# every tooltip story of every page
+node scripts/story-shots.mjs .story-shots/baseline \
+  --port 6007 --title Pages/ --name tooltip --theme dark
+
+# a handful of stories by id or by title/name substring, both themes
+node scripts/story-shots.mjs .story-shots/baseline \
+  --port 6007 --stories pages-noz,dashboards/detail --theme dark,light
+```
+
+| Flag | Meaning |
+| --- | --- |
+| `--stories <match>` | id or `Title/Name` substring, repeatable or comma-separated. Omit for every story. |
+| `--title <prefix>` | only titles starting with the prefix (`Pages/`, `Components/`) |
+| `--name <match>` | only story names containing the match |
+| `--theme dark,light` | one pass per theme; omit for the story's own default (dark) |
+| `--args <k:v;k2:v2>` | arg overrides, Storybook's own `?args=` syntax, repeatable. A dotted value is dropped by Storybook itself, so map it to a slug inside the story's mocks |
+| `--port` | dev server port, or `$SB_PORT` |
+| `--width <px>` | the only fixed dimension, default 1680 |
+| `--height <px>` | shortest the viewport may be, default 1200 |
+| `--max-height <px>` | tallest it may grow to, default 8000 |
+| `--grow <what>` | `scrollers` (default) grows the viewport until the page's own scrollers fit, `document` only follows the document height, `none` keeps `--height` |
+| `--settle <ms>` | wait after the page goes quiet, default 1500 |
+| `--clock <iso\|live>` | wall clock the page reads, passed to the preview as `?storyClock`; `live` unfreezes it |
+| `--motion` | keep animations and transitions running (sets the `motion` global to `live`) |
+| `--ignore <selector>` | hide matching elements, on top of `[data-shot-ignore]` and `[data-chromatic="ignore"]` |
+| `--flat` | write `<out>/<id>.png`, no theme directory |
+| `--no-caption` | leave the caption band off the shots |
+| `--list` | print the matched stories and exit |
+
+Files land at `<out>/<theme>/<story-id>.png`, next to a `shots.json` recording
+what each shot is (id, title, name, theme, `ok`/`busy`, the caption's height in
+rows) and how the run was configured (args, clock, width, height, grow, motion,
+settle, ignore). Keep the flags identical between the two runs or the diff pairs
+nothing.
+
+Every shot carries the caption band described below, so a single screenshot says
+what it is on its own. `--no-caption` leaves it off, and so does a machine
+without ImageMagick (with a warning). The band never changes the shot's width
+(long text wraps rather than widening the canvas) and its height is recorded, so
+the diff crops it back off and never reports one caption against another. Two
+runs whose captions are different heights still diff to zero. A story that never held still for two
+identical frames is logged `busy` instead of `ok` — treat its diff as suspect.
+
+Dark alone is enough while iterating on the harness; add `light` for the run you
+report.
+
+## 3. Diff
+
+```bash
+node scripts/story-shots-diff.mjs .story-shots/baseline .story-shots/capped .story-shots/diff
+```
+
+Prints `<changed pixels>  <theme>/<story>.png`, largest first, and writes one
+image per pair. Needs ImageMagick for PNG encode/decode (7's `magick`, or 6's
+`convert`/`identify`/`montage`); the comparison itself is in the script.
+
+| Flag | Meaning |
+| --- | --- |
+| `--mode green` | default. The after shot with the changed pixels painted over it, exactly the pixels that changed. What Chromatic shows. |
+| `--mode green-parallel` | `previous \| current \| diff` in one image, each tile labelled above it, on a gutter inverted from the theme. The diff tile is the `green` one, so the after shot stays readable underneath. |
+| `--mode red` | the after shot faded to 10%, changed pixels in red. A pixelmatch-style diff, easiest to read when the change is a thin edge. |
+| `--mode red-parallel` | the same three tiles, with the `red` diff. Best when the change is a thin edge that the unfaded shot would swallow. |
+| `--threshold <0..1>` | how far a pixel must move to count. Default 0.063, Chromatic's `diffThreshold`. |
+| `--include-aa` | count antialiasing changes too. Off by default, as in Chromatic. |
+| `--tint <#rrggbb>` | override the mode's colour. |
+| `--no-caption` | drop the caption band. |
+
+### The caption
+
+Both scripts stamp a band on top of what they write: `story-shots.mjs` on each
+shot, from the story and the run's own settings; `story-shots-diff.mjs` on each
+diff, read out of the two runs' `shots.json`. It carries the story's
+`Title/Name`, then its id, theme and `busy` flag, then the settings both runs
+shared, each reading `key:value`. Whatever the two runs did **differently** goes
+on the side it belongs to: under `previous` and `current` on the parallel tiles,
+on two lines of the band otherwise. So a pair that differs only in `--args` says
+so on its face, which is what makes several shots of one story tellable apart.
+
+The shots' own bands are cropped off before comparing and before going into the
+tiles, so nothing in the output is a diff of a caption. Type size follows the
+image width, so it stays readable with the whole image viewed at fit-to-width;
+the heading is set in an installed sans and the detail lines in a mono, falling
+back to ImageMagick's default when neither is on the machine. Without a manifest
+the band falls back to the file path, and a directory of captioned shots whose
+`shots.json` is missing has nothing to crop by, so its captions do land in the
+diff. Keep `shots.json` next to the shots.
+
+### How the comparison works
+
+Chromatic's own capture and diff run server-side — `chromatic-cli` uploads a
+built Storybook and contains no capture or comparison code at all. What is public
+is the parameter contract, and the numbers in it say what the comparison is:
+`diffThreshold` defaults to `0.063` on a 0-1 scale, which is pixelmatch's
+`threshold`, and `diffIncludeAntiAliasing` defaults to false, which is
+pixelmatch's `includeAA: false`. So the script implements that comparison:
+
+1. Both PNGs are read as raw RGBA through `magick … RGBA:-`.
+2. Per pixel, the squared YIQ distance between the two colours (weights
+   `0.5053 / 0.299 / 0.1957`), compared against `35215 * threshold²` — 35215 is
+   the largest distance two 8-bit colours can have. Chroma is included, so a
+   colour swap at equal brightness still counts.
+3. A pixel over the threshold is dropped when it is only antialiasing: it is the
+   darkest or lightest of its eight neighbours, and the other image has a pixel
+   around there doing the same job. This is what keeps a subpixel glyph edge from
+   reading as a change.
+4. What survives is painted at full opacity, one output pixel per changed input
+   pixel. No dilation, no blobs — a one-pixel shift shows as a one-pixel line.
+
+A pair whose shots are different sizes is compared over the overlap, and every
+row and column that exists in only one of them counts as changed.
+
+Pairing is by `<theme>/<story-id>.png`, so a story that exists on only one side
+(new on the feature branch, renamed, retitled) has nothing to pair with and is
+skipped silently. On a branch-vs-branch run, compare the two runs' file lists
+before reading the numbers.
+
+## What makes a shot reproducible
+
+Most of it is in the preview, not in the script, so a Chromatic build in the
+cloud shoots the same page: `.storybook/preview-head.html` freezes the clock,
+and `settleForCapture` (the preview's `afterEach`, which runs after `play`)
+parks the animations and snaps the bottom-pinned lists. The script drives the
+rest:
+
+- **Storybook's own render phase is the readiness signal.** It waits for
+  `window.__STORYBOOK_PREVIEW__.storyRenders[].phase === 'finished'`, which is
+  reached only after the loaders, the decorators and the story's `play` are done.
+  A DOM check cannot see a `play` still running. (Storybook 10 spells the final
+  phase `finished`, not `completed`.)
+- **Network quiescence, not `networkidle`.** react-query retries and msw keep
+  requests going after load, and a few stories hang a request by design, so the
+  wait is "no request for 600ms", capped at 15s.
+- **The clock is frozen** (`2026-06-15T12:00:00Z`), by the preview itself. Chart windows, `4 mins ago`
+  labels and trial countdowns all derive from `now`; a live clock alone moved
+  8000 pixels on the dashboards list and redrew every chart axis.
+- **Animations are parked on their last frame** by `html.sb-still`, a
+  zero-length single iteration with `forwards` fill, plus `prefers-reduced-
+  motion`. The Motion toolbar item (`still` by default) turns it off. An infinite
+  spinner is otherwise caught at a random angle.
+- **`document.fonts.ready`**, because text reflows when a face lands late.
+- **Lists pinned to their bottom are snapped onto it**, once by the preview and
+  again by the script after the page goes quiet. A virtuoso list settles a
+  few pixels short of the end depending on the order its items were measured in.
+- **Two identical frames in a row**, because what a page is still waiting on is
+  often not observable from outside it.
+- **`[data-shot-ignore]`, `[data-chromatic="ignore"]` and `--ignore <selector>`**
+  hide a region that cannot be held still; Chromatic excludes the same attribute
+  from its comparison.
+- **The width is the only fixed dimension.** Chromatic's `viewports` are widths;
+  the height follows the page. `src/styles.scss` pins `html, body, #root` to
+  `height: 100%; overflow: hidden`, so the document never outgrows the viewport
+  and its height says nothing: what overflows are the shell's inner scrollers.
+  `--grow scrollers`, the default, grows the viewport until the tallest in-flow
+  scroller fits, so nothing is cut off and no scrollbar is left in the shot (the
+  dashboards list goes to 2226px in one round). Popups are skipped — they are out
+  of the flow, and a tall dropdown would otherwise drag the shot to a height
+  nothing on the page needs. A page that sizes a panel in `vh` grows its own
+  content as the viewport grows, so no height ever fits it and the rounds only
+  chase — `.alert-chart-container` is `57vh`, which puts Create Alert's fixed
+  point at 4344px with an empty band on top. Those pages are shot at `--height`
+  with their own scrollbar, which is what they look like in a browser, and the
+  log says `(viewport-sized content, stopped chasing Npx)`.
+
+With all of that, 29 of the 32 page tooltip stories are byte-identical across
+runs. The three that are not, and why:
+
+| Story | Residual | Cause |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| `kubernetes-pods--tooltips-in-options-panel` | ~13k px | 24 tooltips held open in an overlapping cluster; they portal to `body` in mount order, and the drawer's own tooltips mount before or after the list's depending on when their data lands, so overlapping tooltips stack differently. Panel geometry itself is stable. |
+| `settings-role-editor--tooltips-in-json-editor` | ~2.5k px | monaco re-measures and lands one pixel off. |
+| `traces-trace-details--tooltips` | ~800 px | same class, one row of the waterfall. |
+
+Each is bimodal — two stable arrangements — so the same number reappears run
+after run. Diff a story against itself before believing its number, and reach
+for `--ignore` when a region cannot be settled.
+
+## Gotchas
+
+- **Zero pixels is a real answer.** A story whose tooltips are all short is
+  unaffected by a tooltip rule; it is not a broken capture.
+- **The selector matters more than the rule.** A global rule on
+  `[data-slot='…']` only reaches design-system components. antd's own tooltips
+  (`.ant-tooltip-inner`, e.g. the Create Alert help popups) are untouched, which
+  is why some stories show no diff at all.
+- **Global style overrides need `!important`.** `src/styles.scss` loads before
+  the design system injects its CSS-module styles at runtime, so a plain rule on
+  a `[data-slot='…']` element loses. A component-level `!important` of the same
+  specificity still wins over it — `PanelStatusPopover.module.scss` keeps its own
+  `max-width: 520px !important`.
+- **A fresh context per story** is why a full sweep takes ~6 min for 32 stories.
+  Reusing one page loses the msw service worker re-registration race and stories
+  start failing after a few navigations.
+- **Stories behind a hover, drawer or modal** only render what their `play`
+  reaches. If a state is missing from the shot, the story needs the `play`, not
+  the script.

+Telemetry queries are generated as ClickHouse SQL text, most of it through [go-sqlbuilder](https://github.com/huandu/go-sqlbuilder) and executed with [clickhouse-go](https://github.com/ClickHouse/clickhouse-go). Attribute names, label names, body keys, aliases and dashboard variable values are user or telemetry input, so every one of them has to be quoted before it becomes part of the text.
+
+## How do I quote a name or a value?
+
+Use [pkg/clickhousesql](/pkg/clickhousesql/clickhousesql.go). Never build a quoted token with `fmt.Sprintf`, string concatenation or `strings.ReplaceAll`.
+
+| You need | Use | Example |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| a column, alias or JSON sub-column name | `clickhousesql.Identifier(name)` | `` body_v2.`user.name` `` |
+| a string in a map read, a function argument, an `IN` list | `clickhousesql.StringLiteral(value)` | `attributes_string['http.method']` |
+| a Go scalar or list rendered as a literal | `clickhousesql.Literal(value)` | `['a','b']` |
+| a needle for `LIKE` | `clickhousesql.LikePattern(value)` | `"%" + clickhousesql.LikePattern(name) + "%"` |
+
+```go
+expr := fmt.Sprintf("multiIf(mapContains(%s, %s), %s[%s], NULL)", column, clickhousesql.StringLiteral(key.Name), column, clickhousesql.StringLiteral(key.Name))
+alias := clickhousesql.Identifier(fmt.Sprintf("__GROUP_BY_KEY_%d_%s", i, key.Name))
+```
+
+Values compared against a column are bound as arguments (`sb.E(column, value)`), never rendered into the text.
+
+Filter expressions are a different language. A value placed into a filter expression string goes through `querybuilder.FilterStringLiteral`, which quotes for that grammar.
+
+## Where does `sqlbuilder.Escape` go?
+
+go-sqlbuilder compiles the text it is given: `$0`, `$1`, `${name}` and `$?` are read as argument references and `$$` as a single `$`. The compiled text is everything passed to `Select`, `SelectMore`, `GroupBy`, `OrderBy`, `Having`, `From`, a raw string passed to `Where`, `And` or `Or`, and a compiled subquery joined or selected from another builder, which is compiled a second time. The `Cond` helpers (`sb.E`, `sb.Like`, `sb.In`, `sb.IsNotNull`, ...) write their field argument verbatim.
+
+- A name or expression that ends up in compiled text is wrapped with `sqlbuilder.Escape` once, at the point where it enters that text. Materialized column names carry `$$`, so this is what keeps them intact.
+- A field passed to a `Cond` helper is not escaped.
+- Text that never passes through a builder is not escaped: CTE fragments joined with `querybuilder.CombineCTEs`, a `UNION` assembled with `fmt.Sprintf` from already compiled statements, raw queries sent straight to the store.
+- Bind placeholders produced by `sb.Var` or the `Cond` helpers must not be escaped, so escape the identifier-bearing part before combining it with them: `fmt.Sprintf("match(%s, %s)", sqlbuilder.Escape(fieldExpr), sb.Var(value))`.
+
+## How do I check SQL a user wrote?
+
+A statement typed into a ClickHouse query panel is validated with `clickhousesql.ErrIfStatementIsNotValid`. It parses the text with [clickhouse-sql-parser](https://github.com/AfterShip/clickhouse-sql-parser) and refuses anything but a single `SELECT`, a table function other than the row generators (`numbers`, `zeros`, `generate_series`), a function that reads a file, a dictionary or the server binary, the `system` and `information_schema` databases, and a `SETTINGS readonly` override. Each refusal carries one of the package's `Code*` values.
+
+## Why is `$` written as `\x24`?
+
+Inside an identifier or a literal, `clickhousesql` writes a `$` as `\x24` when a digit, `{` or `?` follows; ClickHouse decodes the escape, so the name is unchanged on the server. Two tools between the builder and ClickHouse read such a `$` as a placeholder: go-sqlbuilder resolves `$0` in a compiled fragment to its own WHERE clause and recurses, and clickhouse-go refuses a query that mixes a `$<digits>` numeric placeholder with `?` arguments. Any other `$` stays literal, so `resource_string_service$$name` renders exactly as written.
+
+## What should I remember?
+
+- Every identifier and literal built from a name or a value goes through `pkg/clickhousesql`.
+- `sqlbuilder.Escape` wraps compiled text once; `Cond` fields and text assembled outside the builder are left alone.
+- Filter expression literals use `querybuilder.FilterStringLiteral`.
+- A statement written by a user is validated with `clickhousesql.ErrIfStatementIsNotValid`.
+- When adding a builder or a module that emits SQL, run its queries with a name containing a backtick, a quote, a backslash and `$0`; the integration suites under `tests/integration/tests/queriercommon` do this for the query builder.

+
+## What a story gets for free
+
+`withProviders` (global decorator, `.storybook/preview.tsx`) wraps every story in
+`StorybookProviders`, the Storybook adapter over the app's own provider tree.
+That tree is not a copy: `src/index.tsx` and `src/AppRoutes/index.tsx` mount the
+same three components, and each leaves the pieces a runner has to choose as
+props.
+
+| Component               | What it holds                                                         | What the runner chooses               |

+| `app/AppShell`          | antd config, router, cmd-K, notifications, the error modal              | router, the overlays beside the routes |
+| `app/AppPageProviders`  | resource attributes, query builder, hotkeys, the layout, preferences    | the layout, a fixed query-builder context |
+
+What stays with the app and never reaches a story: Sentry, posthog, `AppProvider`
+(Storybook has no user, license or flags to fetch), `PrivateRoute` and the route
+switch.
+
+`tests/test-utils` mounts its own, smaller tree for jest and does not go through
+them: the suite has ~20 files that mock `hooks/useDarkMode`,
+`hooks/useNotifications` or `providers/cmdKProvider` down to a single export, so
+the providers those modules also carry would come back `undefined`. A provider
+added to the app therefore still needs adding in both places.
+
+Storybook fills the seams with:
+
+- `AppContext` from `tests/fixtures/appContextMock`, the same fixture the jest
+  suite uses, so a story and a test see the same user, license and flags.
+- A fresh react-query client and redux store per story: no cache or state bleed.
+- `nuqs` on its testing adapter, so query-param state lives in memory and never
+  touches the iframe URL.
+- Theme from the toolbar (dark/light). `applyThemeBodyClass` puts `<body>` in the
+  state the app gets from `index.html` plus `AppLayout`: `data-theme="default"`
+  (every `@signozhq/design-tokens` semantic token is scoped to it, and without it
+  `--l1-background` and friends resolve to nothing and the page renders
+  unstyled) and the `darkMode`/`dark`/`lightMode` classes.
+
+## The story runtime
+
+`runtime/resolveStory.ts` is the one place that turns a story's parameters and
+the controls panel's current values into everything the story runs on: the msw
+handlers in resolution order, the provider config, the theme, the remount key,
+and the module-level state to seed. The preview loader applies it before the
+decorators run; the decorator reads the same result, memoised on the story and
+its args.
+
+Handlers resolve first-match-wins, in this order:
+
+1. the story's own `parameters.msw.handlers`;
+2. the page's control-driven handlers;
+3. the global mocks' handlers (access);
+4. `msw/appShellHandlers.ts`, the endpoints the shell hits on every route, and
+   the ones whose jest fixture is too thin to show it doing its job;
+5. `src/mocks-server/handlers.ts`, the jest handlers verbatim. An endpoint both
+   runners need belongs here so jest gets it too;
+6. a catch-all for `http://localhost/api/*` that logs and answers 501, so an
+   endpoint nobody mocked fails loudly instead of hanging on a refused
+   connection.
+
+The whole set is re-registered on every story render rather than handed to
+`setupWorker` once. Editing a handler module then takes effect on the next
+render; with the handlers baked in at worker creation, a long-lived dev server
+kept answering with the set it started with, and endpoints added later showed up
+as failed requests.
+
+The handlers are declared against `http://localhost`, which is why
+`constants/env` is mocked to that origin. msw intercepts before the request
+leaves the page, so nothing reaches the network.
+
+## Overrides
+
+Per-story, through `parameters`:
+
+```tsx
+export const Elsewhere: Story = {
+	parameters: {
+		signoz: {
+			route: '/home?relativeTime=1h',
+			appContext: { featureFlags: [] },
+			reduxState: { globalTime: { ... } },
+			theme: 'light',
+		},
+		msw: {
+			handlers: [
+				rest.get('http://localhost/api/v2/rules', handleInternalServerError),
+			],
+		},
+	},
+};
+```
+
+`parameters.signoz` is typed by `SignozStoryConfig` in `src/storybook/types.ts`.
+Who the story runs as is not in there. See [Access](#access).
+
+Anything a page declares as a control belongs in `args`, not in `parameters`.
+
+## The app shell
+
+A page story always runs inside the real `AppLayout` (side nav, top nav,
+banners). A page without its shell is not the page anyone sees. Ask for it once
+on the meta so every story of that page inherits it:
+
+```tsx
+const meta = {
+	title: 'Pages/Home',
+	component: HomePage,
+	...storyMocks(homeMocks, { route: ROUTES.HOME, layout: 'app' }),
+} satisfies Meta<typeof HomePage>;
+```
+
+`layout: 'app'` mounts the story where the router mounts a page, inside
+`AppPageProviders`, rather than in a decorator below the providers.
+
+## Controls
+
+A page declares what about its mocks is adjustable, and the controls panel drives
+it. Every control is a knob on the response, not a prop on the component: turning
+one re-registers the msw handlers and remounts the story with an empty query
+cache, so the page fetches again and renders the new data.
+
+```tsx
+// src/pages/HomePage/stories/HomePage.stories.mocks.ts
+export const homeMocks = defineStoryMocks({
+	controls: {
+		logsIngestion: toggleControl('Logs ingestion', { group: SIGNALS, value: true }),
+		dashboards: countControl('Recent dashboards', { group: LISTS, value: 5, max: 8 }),
+		welcomeChecklist: choiceControl<ChecklistVisibility>('Welcome checklist', {
+			group: ONBOARDING,
+			options: CHECKLIST_VISIBILITY,
+			value: 'visible',
+		}),
+	},
+	handlers: (values, response) => [
+		rest.get(
+			'http://localhost/api/v2/users/me/dashboards',
+			response.json(() => recentDashboardsResponse(values.dashboards)),
+		),
+	],
+});
+```
+
+```tsx
+// src/pages/HomePage/stories/HomePage.stories.tsx
+type HomeArgs = PageStoryArgs<typeof homeMocks>;
+
+const meta = {
+	title: 'Pages/Home',
+	component: HomePage,
+	...storyMocks(homeMocks, { route: ROUTES.HOME, layout: 'app' }),
+} satisfies Meta<HomeArgs>;
+
+export const NoIngestion: StoryObj<HomeArgs> = {
+	args: { logsIngestion: false, tracesIngestion: false, metricsIngestion: false },
+};
+```
+
+`toggleControl`, `countControl`, `choiceControl` and `multiChoiceControl` build
+the panel row and carry the value's type, so `values` inside `handlers` is typed
+and a story's `args` are checked.
+
+The hooks a mock module can answer, all optional. `handlers` answers the page's
+endpoints; `config` returns the provider-level knobs no endpoint covers;
+`responseState` says how the endpoints declared through `response` answer;
+`effect` seeds module-level state no provider exposes, such as no-auth mode; and
+`role` derives the legacy role, which only `authzMocks` does.
+
+Endpoints declared through `response.json` follow the response state (`loaded`,
+`loading` or `error`) which the `Data` control drives, so one declaration covers
+all three. Endpoints the page cannot render without, such as ingestion detection
+and preferences, take a plain msw resolver so they keep answering while the rest
+of the page hangs or fails.
+
+The mock modules every story carries are registered in `globals/index.ts`:
+`appShellMocks` (app-wide banners, side nav state, `Data`) and `authzMocks`
+(below). Adding one there publishes its controls and widens `PageStoryArgs` in
+the same edit.
+
+## Access
+
+Permissions are the knob, not roles. `POST /api/v1/authz/check` is the single
+gate the app reads: route guards, `AuthZGuard`, `AuthZButton` and `user.role` all
+resolve through it, so the controls answer that endpoint and everything
+downstream follows. `access/access.ts` is what decides:
+`accessFor(preset, extra, revoked)` returns the permission set, whether a given
+check is allowed, and the legacy role it derives.
+
+- **Access**: `admin`, `editor`, `viewer`, `anonymous`, `grant-all`, `deny-all`,
+  `custom`, `dev-tools`.
+- **Permissions**: granted on top of the preset, as `relation:kind`
+  (`read:logs`, `create:serviceaccount`, …); `custom` starts from nothing, so
+  there the list is the whole grant. Generated from
+  `lib/authz/hooks/useAuthZ/permissions.type.ts`, so a resource added to the
+  catalogue shows up without touching Storybook. A selector-scoped check
+  (`update` on `role:some-id`) matches the entry for its kind; the legacy
+  `assignee:role:signoz-*` permissions are listed individually.
+- **Revoked**: taken back off the preset and the grants above, from the same
+  catalogue. This is how a story is a complete role missing one permission,
+  which is what a page's `stories/authz/` file turns: `revoked:
+  ['read:subscription']` reads as the page's `Default` minus that one check,
+  and stays that as the catalogue grows.
+- **Check state**: `loaded`, `loading` or `error`, the same forcing the AuthZ
+  dev modal offers.
+
+`user.role` comes from the same grant, derived the way `AppProvider` derives it,
+so the legacy role, `hasEditPermission`, `routePermission` and
+`componentPermission` all follow the same control and no story can set them to
+something the check endpoint disagrees with. The runtime writes the result to
+`<body data-signoz-story-role>`, and the provider tree writes what
+`useAppContext()` actually yields to `<body data-signoz-context-role>`, so
+whether the page is reading it is one glance away in the Elements panel.
+
+Granting no legacy role at all (`deny-all`, or `custom` without one ticked)
+derives `ANONYMOUS`, exactly as `AppProvider` does. The legacy checks are written
+as `role !== VIEWER`, so an anonymous user passes them and sees *more* than a
+viewer. That is the app's gap, faithfully reproduced: to see the viewer UI, grant
+the viewer role. The role-named presets exist because those checks still exist;
+when the roles go, delete the presets and the derivation. The permission list
+stays.
+
+For anything finer than a preset, the app's own dev tools are mounted in every
+story: `⌘K` → **AuthZ DevTools** lists the permissions the page actually checked
+and overrides them one by one (granted, denied, delayed, error). Set Access to
+`dev-tools` first, because the other values reset the override store on render, so
+a leftover override from a real dev session cannot answer for the controls panel.
+Overrides only apply while `IS_DEV` is true, which means the dev server, not a
+static build.
+
+Adding or renaming a project-level control needs a tab reload: Vite hot-updates
+`preview.tsx` without re-preparing the open stories, so the panel keeps the
+controls, and the arg values, it was built with.
+
+## Module mocks
+
+Aliased for every story in `.storybook/main.ts`, the same way `jest.config.ts`
+does it through `moduleNameMapper`. Each replacement is typed as the module it
+stands in for, so an export added to the real module is a compile error here
+rather than a story that fails at render:
+
+| Module                | Replacement                        | Why                                        |
+| --------------------- | ---------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------ |
+| `lib/history`         | `navigation/history.alias.ts`      | keeps a story on its page, see below       |
+| `api/common/logEvent` | `mocks/logEvent.mock.ts`           | analytics never leave the iframe           |

+
+Mocks use `fn()` from `storybook/test`, so a play function can assert on them:
+
+```tsx
+import logEvent from 'api/common/logEvent';
+
+play: async () => {
+	await expect(logEvent).toHaveBeenCalledWith('Homepage: Visited', {});
+},
+```
+
+## Navigation
+
+A story renders one page, so leaving that page would unmount it.
+`navigation/pageScope.ts` holds the rule, `navigation/containment.ts` is what the
+app sees in place of `lib/history`, and the two tell a navigation apart by
+pathname:
+
+- **Same page**: a query-param or hash change, which is how tabs, filters,
+  pagination and time ranges are driven. It is applied, and the page re-renders
+  the way it does in the app. Anchors are covered too: an in-page `<a href="?tab=x">`
+  or `<Link to="/home?tab=x">` is intercepted and pushed onto the story's history
+  rather than followed, which would navigate the iframe out of the story.
+- **Another page**: a different pathname, an off-site href, `window.open` (what
+  `useSafeNavigate({ newTab })` calls) or a relative `go`/`goBack`, which carries
+  no target to compare against. It is swallowed and reported to
+  `NavigationBlockedOverlay`, which lists what was attempted. Nothing is silently
+  dropped.
+
+`nuqs` is the one gap: it runs on its testing adapter and keeps its own copy of
+the query string, seeded from the story's `route`. A page that writes params
+through both `useQueryState` and `history.push({ search })` sees the two diverge
+inside a story; a page that stays on one mechanism does not.
+
+## Adding a page story
+
+The `signoz-page-story` skill in `.claude/skills/` carries this as a workflow:
+mapping the page, deriving its controls, and the checks a story has to pass.
+
+1. Point the story at the page component under `src/pages/<Page>`.
+2. Keep every story file under `src/pages/<Page>/stories/`: the story, the
+   page's mocks in `<Page>.stories.mocks.ts`, and its payload builders under
+   `stories/__story_mockdata__/`. Spread `storyMocks(<page>Mocks, { route })`
+   into the meta.
+3. Pass `layout: 'app'` in the same config, so the page renders inside
+   `AppLayout` where a route puts it.
+4. Give the default story every widget populated. A page story earns its keep by
+   showing what the page looks like with data, not with empty states.
+5. Run it and watch the console: an msw warning or a `[storybook] no msw handler`
+   line is an endpoint the page hits that no handler covers yet.
+6. Reach for a control before a story. A variant earns a story only when it is
+   worth linking to; anything else is a control someone can turn.
