Rules And Alerts Feature Introduction

Rules and alerts turn video monitoring into an operational loop: the system evaluates new signals, writes a durable hit record, and fans the result out to the right delivery channels without forcing each team to stitch together cron jobs and chat bots by hand.

One runtime path keeps the system predictable

The design keeps both scheduled scans and incremental channel syncs on the same internal runtime entrypoint. A batch job can sweep recent videos every ten minutes, while sync flows can send `userId + videoIds` for just-in-time evaluation. That shared path matters because teams only have to reason about one rule runner, one dedupe model, and one failure policy.

The other key detail is isolation. A single user or channel failure should be logged and skipped, not allowed to stall the whole batch. That makes the runtime reliable enough for operators to trust notifications during high-volume monitoring windows.

Adapters separate delivery policy from channel specifics

On the delivery side, the notification dispatcher stays intentionally thin. It reads enabled channels and fans out, while each adapter owns configuration validation, sending, test sends, and history serialization. Desktop, email, Feishu, and webhook can therefore evolve independently without changing the orchestration model.

That separation is especially useful for partial readiness. If VAPID keys are missing, desktop should surface a clear disabled state, but email or webhook should continue to work. Teams get a truthful UI instead of an all-or-nothing notification system.

What operators should verify before rollout

Before rolling this out widely, teams should verify that the runtime secret is shared by scheduled and incremental triggers, that at least one production channel is configured, and that notification history records enough metadata to explain why a hit was sent or dropped.

That combination of unified execution, adapter isolation, and auditable history is what makes rules and alerts useful for real operators rather than just a feature checkbox.
