docs(monitoring): stop treating a worn EPHEMERAL drive as a hazard
I described the worn drives carrying EPHEMERAL as the dangerous placement,
repeatedly, in the alert text and in the dashboard's caveats. That reads the
volume backwards. EPHEMERAL is Talos's /var and its contents are meant to be
disposable — container images, kubelet state, pod scratch, spegel and Rook's
local state all rebuild. Putting the drives with the least endurance left there
is a sensible destination, not a risk someone should be warned about.

The alert said "a node simply stops when it goes", which is simply wrong. A node
losing /var rebuilds it.

What survives the correction is narrower and checked rather than recalled:
/var/lib/etcd is on that volume too, so losing EPHEMERAL on a control-plane node
costs that member's data. Quorum holds at two of three and the member is removed
and re-added. That is a rebuild, not data loss, and the alert now says so at
that weight.

The fill-level panel keeps its warning but for the right reason: a full /var
stops a node being useful long before anything is lost, and nothing rebalances
it the way Ceph rebalances a full OSD. That is a capacity argument, not an
endurance one.

None of this changes the monitoring — measuring every drive is still right, and
the wear figures are unchanged. It changes what a reader is told the numbers
mean, which is the part that was misleading.

"content": "### What this dashboard cannot tell you\n\nThese notes are about mechanisms, not about the drives currently fitted. The inventory table above is the live answer to what is in the machines; nothing here restates it, because prose does not get re-read when hardware is swapped.\n\n**Wear is a budget, not a prediction.** The percentage is what the drive reports against its own rated endurance. Drives do not stop at 100 — they usually keep working and start consuming spare blocks — so read it for planning, and read available spare and media errors for whether something is failing now. Those are different questions and the alert rules treat them as such.\n\n**A green top row is not a healthy drive.** Endurance says nothing about the drive that dies of a controller fault tomorrow, and this dashboard cannot see one coming.\n\nCeph keeps its own wear figures for OSDs in the devicehealth module, which is a useful cross-check but covers OSDs only: `kubectl -n rook-ceph exec deploy/rook-ceph-tools -- ceph device ls`. A drive removed from Ceph is purged from that registry and its history goes with it.\n\n**Roles are assigned in configuration, not by device name.** Talos selects the system disk and the EPHEMERAL volume by serial, Rook selects the OSD by `/dev/disk/by-id` path. Two consequences outlive any particular set of drives: a broad selector such as `disk.transport == 'nvme'` matches every drive in the box, with the installer taking the OSD as the failure mode — and a drive retired from Ceph is not necessarily out of service, and putting a worn one on EPHEMERAL is a sensible destination rather than a hazard — that volume is built to be rebuilt. Check the inventory table for what a given drive holds before reading its wear as urgent.\n\n**A dying NVMe here hangs rather than errors.** Talos boots with `nvme_core.io_timeout=4294967295`, so NVMe commands never time out. Expect a stall, not an I/O error, and expect the latency panel to go flat rather than spike.\n\n**Kernel messages are not retained.** Talos kernel logs do not reach Loki — the only log jobs are Kubernetes pods and a systemd-journal from elsewhere. `talosctl -n <node> dmesg` is the only source, it is a ring buffer, and a reboot empties it. An NVMe error from before the last reboot left no trace anywhere.",
