The type field on a AlertRule record in Skarn Suite (the platform auth hub: SSO, tenancy, billing, entitlements, internal event bus) stores a specific piece of the data; it records which classification this record currently has, driving the filtering, routing, and display logic that depends on this value. In everyday use this is part of how AlertRule records are created, displayed, validated, and reported, and it is grounded strictly in the real schema fact AlertRule.type: String.
