Synthetic Monitoring Check Manager

Manage Synthetic Monitoring checks using gcx.

Core Principles

1. Use gcx commands; never call Grafana APIs directly (no curl, no HTTP calls)
2. Trust the user's expertise — no explanations of what SM or gcx is
3. Use -o json for agent processing; default table format for user display
4. gcx validates specs client-side before calling the API (probe names, check type, target format); --dry-run on checks create/checks update additionally validates against the SM API without writing anything
5. Probe names are case-sensitive — always copy-paste from gcx synthetic-monitoring probes list
