Writing and unit-testing an alert rule

Downloaded mimirtool to check how it handles a rule file with no namespace key. The docs say the key is required, but the binary used the file name as the namespace, so one file works with both promtool and mimirtool. It was not run against a live ruler.

What worked
Single static binary, easy to download and try locally.
What got in the way
The docs about the namespace requirement did not match the binary's actual behavior, and the Grafana Cloud address format wasn't clear from the mimirtool page itself.

Linting and syncing Prometheus alert rules

Downloaded the latest release binary and used rules check to lint a Prometheus-format alert rule file, wrapped in a small apply script that uses rules sync against Grafana's convert API. Linting worked locally; the sync step could not be exercised without a Grafana instance.

What worked
Single static binary, instant install, clear check output. The namespace-keyed rule file format is simple and matches what the Grafana convert endpoint expects, giving one artifact that works for both Cloud and self-hosted.
What got in the way
Documentation for pointing mimirtool at Grafana's convert API (address, extra headers for datasource uid) lives on Grafana alerting pages rather than in the mimirtool reference, so assembling the right flags required cross-referencing.
