feat!: stats as a section instead of an overlay
Stats was the one full-screen view reached by a key of its own rather
than by tab, and the interface was less coherent for it. It is now a
section sitting third, after Alerts, and behaves like every other one:
tab in, tab out, r to refresh.

Three things fall out of the move. It auto-refreshes for the first time
— the tick handler skips every non-dashboard mode, which is why the
overlay never updated while it was open. Its error path no longer forces
the queue back into view on a failed fetch, an assumption that only made
sense while stats floated above the dashboard. And first-visit loading
keys off a statsLoaded flag rather than slice emptiness, because the
three empty slices a quiet server returns are a real answer, not a
missing one; the loading placeholder is likewise suppressed once
something has been drawn, so a background refresh cannot blank the page
out from under whoever is reading it.

The S key is gone, and with it the ability to peek at statistics from an
open incident and land back on it. That round-trip was the only thing
statsReturnMode bought, and it was the whole reason stats needed a mode.

# terdut-tui
A terminal user interface for [terdut-server](https://github.com/terdut-server). Communicates with the server over its REST API.
Written in Go using [Bubbletea](https://github.com/charmbracelet/bubbletea).
## Features
- **Incident queue** — open incidents with severity, status, assignee and age, auto-refreshing
- **Incident actions** — acknowledge, assign, snooze, note, resolve and archive
- **Timeline** — the full history of an incident, system events and notes together
- **Alert feed** — the raw read-only alerts underneath, each linked to its incident
- **On-call schedule** — visual calendar of who is on duty, assign and remove entries
- **Statistics** — MTTA and MTTR, plus alert frequency by name, hour and day
- **User management** — add and remove users, manage API keys
> Requires terdut-server **v0.4.0 or later**. Earlier servers have no incidents API;
> use terdut-tui v0.3.x with those.
## Alerts and incidents
The server keeps two objects and this client follows that split:
- An **alert** is Alertmanager's record — firing or resolved, and read-only here.
- An **incident** is the work item. It is what you acknowledge, assign, snooze,
discuss and resolve, and it is where all the actions live.
Incidents are correlated by the `groupKey` Alertmanager already computed from your
`group_by` configuration, so several alerts commonly share one incident.
Two behaviours worth knowing before you press a key:
- **Resolving is final.** The server treats a manual resolve as terminal: a later
occurrence opens a *new* incident rather than reopening this one, and if the alert
underneath never stops firing the incident stays closed. The TUI asks for
confirmation before doing it.
- **Snooze is the "not now" button.** It hides an incident from the default queue
without closing it, and expires on its own.
## Installation
Download the latest release binary for your platform from the [releases page](https://github.com/yeniklas/terdut-tui/releases), or build from source:
```bash
go install github.com/yeniklas/terdut-tui@latest
```
## Configuration
Create `~/.config/terdut-tui/config.yaml`:
```yaml
server_url: https://terdut.example.com
api_key: <your-api-key>
refresh_interval: 30 # seconds, optional
```
The API key is generated in terdut-server. See the server documentation for how to bootstrap a user and issue an API key.
## Usage
```
terdut-tui start the TUI
terdut-tui --version print version
terdut-tui --self-update update to the latest release
```
