+ * Lock in the VMware alert-template contracts (design spec §6). Two layers:
+ *
+ *   1. ENUMERATED invariants run over getAllVMwareAlertTemplates(), so a
+ *      newly added template is automatically covered: it must build a
+ *      valid MonitorStep, reference only catalog metrics, resolve every
+ *      criteria alias, group by a `resource.vcenter.*` RESOURCE attribute
+ *      (the OTel vcenter receiver's identity lives in resource attributes —
+ *      the inverse of the Proxmox rule), and use disjoint fire/recover
+ *      thresholds on the same alias.
+ *
+ *   2. A per-template expectation table pins the spec'd metric /
+ *      aggregation / threshold / attribute-filter / group-by decisions.
+ *      The table is exhaustive both ways — adding a template without a
+ *      row here fails loudly, which is the point.
