Feature

Lineage

Standalone — part of DORA dashboard improvements.

Repo

forgejo_admin/pal-e-platform

User Story

As a platform operator
I want Tier 1 DORA composite in Grafana with color-coded bands
So that I know if production pipelines are healthy without digging

Context

Stat panels currently show raw numbers with no visual indicator of DORA band standing. Adding color thresholds (Elite=green, High=blue, Medium=yellow, Low=red) makes health assessable at a glance.

File Targets

Files the agent should modify or create:

terraform/dashboards/dora-dashboard.json — add thresholds to stat panels

Acceptance Criteria

DF panel: green >1, blue 0.14-1, yellow 0.03-0.14, red <0.03
LT panel: green <24h, blue 24-168h, yellow 168-720h, red >720h
CFR panel: green <5%, blue 5-10%, yellow 10-15%, red >15%
MTTR panel: green <1h, blue 1-24h, yellow 24-168h, red >168h

Test Expectations

Manual: verify colors change correctly in Grafana

Constraints

Match industry-standard DORA band definitions
