Optimizing OpenShift Alertmanager routes and inhibition rules to reduce duplicate notifications while preserving actionable alerts

The goal is to configure Alertmanager routes and inhibition rules in OpenShift so that duplicate notifications are minimized while keeping actionable platform alerts visible, especially when namespace‑scoped inhibition may hide independent component failures.
Should namespace‑scoped inhibit rules be applied only to matching labels, how should group_wait and group_interval be tuned to balance suppression with timely delivery, and is routing the always‑firing Watchdog alert to a null receiver sufficient to avoid pipeline noise?
