EDM-1997: Show alert title as received from the API by default

[celdrake]

By default, show the human-readable message for alerts provided by the API.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features
  • Alert cards now prioritize showing an alert’s provided summary as the title when available, improving clarity and context.
  • When no summary is present, titles seamlessly fall back to the usual default/translated title.
  • This update affects only how titles are displayed; performance, data loading, and other behaviors remain unchanged.

Walkthrough

Added a local helper to resolve alert titles using alert.annotations.summary when available, falling back to the existing translation-based title. Updated the AlertsCard title rendering to use this helper. No exports changed; no data flow, fetching, or error handling modified.

Changes

Alerts title resolution libs/ui-components/src/components/OverviewPage/Cards/Alerts/AlertsCard.tsx	Added getAlertTitle(alert, defaultTitle) to prefer alert.annotations.summary over the prior computed title; updated rendering to use this helper. No public API changes.

119-124: Make helper more robust: trim and fall back to description; add explicit return type

Prevents rendering blank/whitespace summaries and covers integrations that populate description instead of summary. The explicit return type improves readability.

-const getAlertTitle = (alert: AlertManagerAlert, defaultTitle: string) => {
-  if (alert.annotations.summary) {
-    return alert.annotations.summary;
-  }
-  return defaultTitle;
-};
+const getAlertTitle = (alert: AlertManagerAlert, defaultTitle: string): string => {
+  const summary = alert.annotations?.summary?.trim();
+  if (summary) return summary;
+  // Some Alertmanager integrations populate `description` instead of `summary`
+  const description = alert.annotations?.description?.trim();
+  if (description) return description;
+  return defaultTitle;
+};

If you’d like, I can add a couple of unit tests to cover:

• summary present
• summary whitespace-only
• description present, summary missing
• both missing (falls back to defaultTitle)

163-163: LGTM: Correctly prefers API-provided title with a safe fallback

Using the helper here aligns with the PR objective and preserves backward compatibility when annotations are absent.
