Grafana Provisioning

Make Grafana resources reproducible. Pick the right tool for each resource type and team workflow, then keep the runtime configuration in sync with version control. Wrong tool choices don't cause errors immediately — they show up months later as drift, brittle CI, or notification policies overwritten by a partial config push.
