atlas 21d2554d32 grafana: stop describing this hive's habits on a board every hive gets
mara on the PR: "many hint texts are incorrect, most hives dont work on
hyperhive itself". Four panel descriptions asserted local practice as if
it were general:

  Releases            "expected to sit at zero on a hive that ships from
                      main" -- a claim about how THIS project releases
  Automation surface  "every hive registering the same webhook has bitten
                      this forge before" -- a war story from this
                      deployment, meaningless on any other
  Organizations       "near-constant by design" -- assumes our org layout
  Issues open/closed  "usually a bulk triage, not a productive afternoon"
                      -- a claim about our working rhythm

Each now describes what the metric IS and what a CHANGE means, and says
outright where the panel cannot know: whether zero releases is normal
depends on how a hive's projects ship, and a vertical step in closed is
some batch operation that this panel cannot distinguish from a burst of
real work.

The board title is NOT an instance of this and is unchanged -- all seven
dashboards use the 'hyperhive - <thing>' product namespace, checked
rather than assumed.

"description": "An INVENTORY board, not a service-health board — and the difference is the first thing to know about it. Its three siblings (metrics store, log store, authelia) answer 'is this service healthy': request rates, error rates, latency. Forgejo's exporter publishes no such series; what it publishes is a census of what the forge CONTAINS. So every number here is a gauge of stored things, sampled at scrape time. Nothing on this board can tell you the forge is slow or erroring, and a flat line means nobody created anything, not that scraping stopped — check the metrics-store board for that. Series are labelled service.name, NOT job; there is no job label in this store.",
