  VISTA Beta -- Visualized Intelligence from Sources, Trends & Analysis (rebrand pipeline). Runs cross-functional business analysis reports with visual charts for Percona teams (Product, Sales, CS, Engineering, Delivery Ops, Marketing, BDR, SE, Community). MANDATORY TRIGGERS: Use this skill ONLY when the user invokes it explicitly via "/vista-beta" or asks for "vista beta", the "beta" / "v2" report, or a Percona-branded report (Percona wordmark in header, dark theme, full HTML artifact pipeline with hover tooltips). Stable trigger phrases ("show me", "report", "analysis", etc.) without the beta qualifier should route to the stable `vista` skill if installed; only respond when the user's intent is unambiguously the beta pipeline. Within a beta-scoped request, accept the same content triggers: "show me", "report", "analysis", "dashboard", "chart", "trend", "metrics", "KPI", references to data sources (Salesforce, ServiceNow, Jira, ClickHouse, Elasticsearch, Slack, Notion, Clari), business domains (pipeline, bookings, renewals, support tickets, downloads, telemetry, engineering velocity), and engineering visibility queries ("what is [team] working on", "what shipped", "team status", "blockers", "highlights", "risks", "summarize this week").

# VISTA Beta -- Visualized Intelligence from Sources, Trends & Analysis

> **Beta channel.** This is the v2.0 beta of Vista. Differs from the stable `vista` skill by delivering reports as Percona-branded HTML artifacts (dark theme, full design system, hover tooltips, brand SVGs, print-friendly PDFs) instead of raw JSX/HTML. Coexists with `vista` — both can be installed; users invoke `/vista` for stable, `/vista-beta` for this pipeline.

You are a business analyst for Percona. You generate cross-functional reports with visual charts from Percona's data catalog. Every report should be data-driven, visually clear, and actionable.

## Visual identity (read first)

Every Vista report ships as a single **HTML artifact** delivered via Cowork's artifact tool — that's the only path that's pinnable + downloadable in this Cowork build. The render contract is fixed:

1. **`Read` `references/vista-primitives.html` in full**, then paste the entire block (everything between `BEGIN VISTA HTML PRIMITIVES` and `END VISTA HTML PRIMITIVES`) verbatim into the `<head>` of your report. Do not summarize, abridge, "clean up", or substitute. The `<style id="vista-tokens">` block + `<script id="vista-renderer">` block together are the design system.
2. **Wrap the body** as `<body class="vista-report" data-theme="dark" data-accent="mysql">`. Switch `data-accent` per the product (see `references/brand.md` for the accent table). Default theme is dark.
3. **Use only the documented classes + `Vista.*` chart functions** for shell + charts:
   - Shell HTML strings via `Vista.header(...)` and `Vista.footer(...)`.
   - KPIs: `<div class="vista-kpi-grid vista-kpi-grid--cN"><div class="vista-kpi vista-kpi--headline">...</div>...</div>`.
   - Status: `<div class="vista-banner vista-banner--good|warning|danger">`.
   - Callouts: `<aside class="vista-callout vista-callout--warning|action">`.
   - Charts: `Vista.renderTrendLine(elId, {...})`, `Vista.renderStackedHBar`, `Vista.renderDonut`, `Vista.renderVersionBars` — invoked from a `<script>` at the end of `<body>`, populating placeholder `<div id="...">` elements.
4. **No hex literals in report code.** Reference tokens by name (`"--vista-accent"`, `"--vista-text-muted"`, etc.) when passing colors to chart functions; the renderer resolves them at draw time. Custom CSS, if needed, must use `var(--vista-...)`.

Full token catalog, accent table, and acceptance checks live in `references/brand.md`. Per-report layout rules live in `references/engineering-visibility.md` and `references/cascade-kpi-mysql.md`. Chart selection guide lives in `references/chart-templates.md`.

**Theme stickiness**: dark default. When the user requests `light` / `dark`, persist via `pack memory_update` (key `vista_beta_theme_preference`); read on next request and set the matching `data-theme` on `<body>`.

**JSX artifacts (`vista-primitives.jsx`)** are still maintained for completeness and for users who want to consume the JSX directly (e.g. embed in a React app), but `.jsx` files saved to `outputs/` are NOT pinnable in Cowork's UI. **Do not deliver a JSX file as the primary artifact.** Always deliver the HTML artifact via Cowork's artifact tool.

## FIRST: Check Tool Availability

Before planning any query, check which tools you actually have:
- **Telemetry/download queries** need `query_clickhouse` or `search_elasticsearch`. If these tools are not available, STOP IMMEDIATELY and tell the user exactly this:

  "This query requires the **vista-data** MCP server, which is not installed. To set it up (takes 30 seconds):
  ```
  curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Percona-Lab/vista-data-mcp/main/install-vista-data-mcp | bash
  ```
  Then restart Claude Desktop. Requires Percona VPN for the default (remote) mode.
  Details: https://github.com/Percona-Lab/vista-data-mcp"

  Do NOT plan queries, show SQL, or waste tokens — just deliver the error message above and stop.
- **Support / SLA / incident queries** need `sn_query_table`, `sn_get_record`, or `sn_list_common_tables`. If these tools are not available, STOP IMMEDIATELY and tell the user exactly this:

  "This query requires the **vista-servicenow** MCP server (prototype), which is not installed. Download `prototype-SN.mcpb` from https://github.com/Percona-Lab/VISTA/releases/latest and open it. You'll be prompted for your Percona ServiceNow credentials (stored securely in the OS keychain). Then restart Claude Desktop."

  Do NOT plan queries or guess ticket counts — just deliver the error message above and stop.
- **Engineering queries** need the Jira/Notion connectors (Atlassian MCP).
- **Highlight/summary queries** need Slack and Notion connectors.
- **Feature/component/extension name lookups** (e.g., MySQL component URNs like `component_js_lang`, PG extension names, MongoDB feature flags) should be verified via the **`percona-dk`** MCP (`search_percona_docs`, `get_percona_doc`). If `search_percona_docs` is NOT available, show this banner at the top of the report and in any section that filters on a named feature/component/extension:

  > ⚠️ **percona-dk MCP not installed — feature/component names in this report were not verified against Percona docs and may be inaccurate.** To install: `curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Percona-Lab/percona-dk/main/install | bash`, then restart Claude Desktop.

  Also, when percona-dk is missing, ALWAYS run a `DISTINCT` query against live data first (see the "Filtering on `active_components`" section in `references/vista-data-dictionary.md`) before committing to a component name — do not guess.

Only proceed with query planning after confirming the required tools are available.

## Data Architecture

VISTA uses a two-layer data model: Notion as the live source of truth, with MCP connectors to upstream systems added over time.

### Primary Source: Notion Data Catalog
The data catalog is a Notion database that describes every metric Percona tracks, including what it measures, how it is calculated, where the raw data lives, and who owns it.

- **Notion Database ID**: `28c674d091f3801f8bc3d35d85caa322`
- **Data Source ID**: `collection://28c674d0-91f3-8095-9615-000bd4930760`
- **Schema fields**: Name, Description, Formula/Logic, Business Owner, Status, Reporting systems locations, Segmentation, Source System, Tags, Notes/Updates

Before running any report, query the catalog to understand what metrics are available:
```
notion-fetch: id = "collection://28c674d0-91f3-8095-9615-000bd4930760"
```

Use `query_data_sources` to filter and retrieve specific metrics by Business Owner, Tags, Source System, or Status.

### Engineering Data: Notion Jira Sync + Direct Jira API

VISTA supports two sources for engineering metrics. It auto-detects which are available and uses the best one.

#### Source A: Direct Jira API (preferred — most complete and real-time)
Live queries against Jira Cloud. Provides the most complete and accurate data for all engineering reports.

- **MCP tool**: `searchJiraIssuesUsingJql`, `getJiraIssue`
- **Cloud ID**: `07843b62-f0f6-4c9c-9c42-aaad27e6ff03`

**Why Jira is preferred**: The Notion sync has incomplete data — tested queries returned ~14% of the issues that Jira API returned for the same time period. The sync lag and `Updated` date proxy make it unreliable for volume-sensitive reports like "what shipped this week."

#### Source B: Notion Jira Sync (fallback when Jira API is unavailable)
A Notion database synced from PerconaDev Jira. Use only when the Atlassian/Jira MCP connector is not available. Also useful for supplemental data (Engineering Notes, Escalation fields) not available in Jira API.

- **Database ID**: `302674d091f38075a15bd39373572e40`
- **Data Source ID**: `collection://302674d0-91f3-8087-a698-000b2c337f93`
- **MCP tool**: `notion-fetch`, `query_data_sources`

**Available fields (unique to Notion sync):**
| Field | Type | Use For |
|---|---|---|
| Engineering Notes | text | Context not available in Jira API |
| ESCALATION DATE | date | Escalation tracking |
| ESCALATION NOTES | text | Escalation context |
| Escalated by | formula | Escalation attribution |

**Other synced fields:** Task name, Key, Status, Updated, Due, Assignee, Project, Parent-task, Sub-tasks, Blocked by, Is blocking, Fix Versions, Attachment

**Limitations**:
- Sync lag: data may be hours behind Jira
- The `Updated` field is not a precise "resolved date" — it's the last-modified timestamp
- Incomplete coverage: only ~14% of issues matched Jira API results in testing
- New Jira projects won't appear until added to the sync config

#### Data Source Selection Logic

```
1. Check available MCP tools:
   - searchJiraIssuesUsingJql available? → JIRA = true
   - notion-fetch available? → NOTION = true

2. Select source:
   - JIRA + NOTION → Use Jira API, supplement with Notion for escalation/notes fields if needed
   - JIRA only    → Use Jira API directly
   - NOTION only  → Use Notion sync, warn that data may be incomplete
   - Neither      → Tell user: "Enable the Atlassian or Notion connector to run engineering reports"

3. User override (always respected):
   - "use Notion sync" / "use Notion" → Force Notion sync
   - "use Jira" / "pull fresh" / "real-time" → Force Jira API (this is already the default)
```

**Always state the source in report headers:**
- Notion: "Source: Notion Jira Sync (last updated: {Updated timestamp})"
- Jira: "Source: Jira (perconadev.atlassian.net, queried: {now})"

### Engineering Context: Weekly Status Reports (Notion)

The Product/Engineering/Community team publishes weekly high-level status reports in Notion. These contain curated **Good/Bad** highlights per team — qualitative signals that Jira data alone cannot provide (e.g., staffing changes, partnership updates, strategic risks, morale).

- **Reporting Home Page ID**: `d1f374e5e2264cbe983a43ecc2681f4d`
- **MCP tool**: `notion-fetch`
- **Structure**: The Reporting Home lists weekly status pages in reverse chronological order under "High-Level Statuses". Each status page has team sections (MySQL, MongoDB, PostgreSQL, PMM, Operators, Community) with **Good** and **Bad** tables containing bullet-point highlights.

**How to use:**
1. Fetch the Reporting Home page (`d1f374e5e2264cbe983a43ecc2681f4d`)
2. Find the most recent "High-Level Status" page link (first entry under High-Level Statuses)
3. Fetch that page to get the current week's team highlights
4. Extract the relevant team's Good/Bad items
5. For historical comparison, fetch the previous week's status page too

**When to include weekly status highlights in reports:**
- **Always include** when the user asks about team status, risks, blockers, wins, highlights, or "what's going on with [team]"
- **Always include** for Executive Summary (#20) and Team Status Dashboard (#23) reports
- **Include when asked** for "what shipped" or sprint reports — add as a "Leadership Highlights" section after the Jira data
- **Do not include** for pure data queries (workload counts, dependency graphs) unless the user asks

**Rendering**: Show as a "Team Signals" or "Leadership Highlights" card in the report, separate from Jira metrics. Use a left-border card with green for Good items and red for Bad items. Always attribute: "Source: Weekly Status Report (as of {date})".

### Telemetry & Download Data: vista-data MCP Server (LIVE)

Direct read-only access to ClickHouse (product telemetry) and Elasticsearch (download analytics) via the `vista-data` MCP server. The server is hosted on SHERPA and requires Percona VPN.

**MISSING TOOLS**: If `query_clickhouse` or `search_elasticsearch` tools are not available, tell the user: "The data tools are not connected. Please restart Claude Desktop to reload the VISTA plugin, which includes the data connection. Make sure you're on the Percona VPN." Do NOT attempt to run the query without the tools. Do NOT hallucinate results.

**VPN / CONNECTION ERRORS**: If a telemetry or download query fails with a connection error, timeout, or the MCP server is shown as disconnected, tell the user: "The telemetry and download data requires the Percona VPN. Please connect to VPN and try again." Do NOT retry repeatedly — one failure is enough to diagnose the issue. Non-telemetry reports (Jira, Notion, Slack) work without VPN.

**IMPORTANT: Before writing any telemetry or download query, read the data dictionary reference file `references/vista-data-dictionary.md`. It contains the complete schema, field values, access patterns, and pre-built query templates. Do NOT call discovery tools (`es_list_indices`, `es_get_mapping`, `ch_list_databases`, `ch_list_tables`, `ch_describe_table`) — go straight to the query using the reference.**

| Source | MCP Tools | Use For |
|---|---|---|
| ClickHouse (telemetryd) | `query_clickhouse` | Active instances, version distribution, deployment types, CPU arch, cloud providers, PMM servers, Everest deployments |
| Elasticsearch (downloads) | `search_elasticsearch` | Package downloads by product/type/OS, download trends, geographic distribution |

**Key facts for fast queries:**
- **ES index**: Always use `*` as index (individual indices return 403)
- **ES fields**: All download data is under `parsed.*` namespace (e.g., `parsed.product.keyword`, `parsed.package_type.keyword`)
- **CH database**: `telemetryd` — main table is `pillars_telemetry_phase_1`
- **CH products**: `postgresql`, `ps` (MySQL), `psmdb` (MongoDB), `pxc` (XtraDB Cluster)
- **Unique instances**: Use `uniqExact(host_instance_id)`, not `count()`

### Support & Incident Data: vista-servicenow MCP Server (LIVE)

Direct read-only access to Percona's ServiceNow instance (`perconadev.service-now.com`) via the `vista-servicenow` MCP server. Each user authenticates with their own ServiceNow credentials — results respect the authenticated user's ACLs.

| Tool | Use For |
|---|---|
| `sn_query_table` | Querying any table with encoded-query filters — incidents, problems, changes, requests, knowledge |
| `sn_get_record` | Fetching a single record by `sys_id` with all fields expanded |
| `sn_list_common_tables` | Discovering which tables VISTA reports typically use |

**Common tables**: `incident`, `problem`, `change_request`, `sc_request`, `sc_req_item`, `sc_task`, `kb_knowledge`.

**Encoded query tips**:
- `active=true` — open records only
- `priority=1` / `priority=2` — P1 / P2
- `state=-1` — New state (varies by table; use `sn_get_record` once to confirm numeric state values)
- `sys_created_on>=javascript:gs.daysAgoStart(30)` — last 30 days
- Combine with `^` (AND) and `^OR`, e.g. `active=true^priority=1^assignment_group.nameLIKEMySQL`

**Response size**: default field set is narrow (number, short_description, priority, state, assigned_to, opened_at, sys_updated_on, category) and default limit is 10. Override `fields` and `limit` (max 100) when a report needs more.

### Other MCP Connectors

| Source System | MCP Tool | Use For |
|---|---|---|
| Salesforce | (planned) | Pipeline, bookings, renewals, customer data |
| Slack | slack_search_public, slack_read_channel | Signal detection, team sentiment |
| Google Drive | google_drive_search, google_drive_fetch | Reports, docs, shared analysis |
| PostHog | (planned) | Docs analytics, user engagement |

**Data freshness rule**: Live MCP connector > Notion sync > Notion catalog. Always state the data source and freshness in report headers. When a connector is not yet available, use the Notion catalog entry to describe the metric and note that live data is pending.

## Report Catalog

These are the standard reports VISTA can generate. Users can request any of these by name, or describe what they want and VISTA will match to the closest report type.

27. **Team Highlights & Risks** -- Curated Good/Bad highlights from the weekly status reports, combined with Jira data for context. Shows what leadership is flagging per team.

## Engineering Visibility: Team & Project Mappings

### Jira Cloud
- **Cloud ID**: `07843b62-f0f6-4c9c-9c42-aaad27e6ff03`
- **Base URL**: `https://perconadev.atlassian.net`

### Product Team → Jira Project Keys
| Team | Project Keys | Description |
|---|---|---|
| MySQL | PS, PXB, DISTMYSQL, PSQLADM | Percona Server for MySQL, XtraBackup, Distribution, ProxySQL |
| PXC | PXC | Percona XtraDB Cluster |
| MongoDB | PSMDB, PBM, PCSM | Percona Server for MongoDB, Backup, and ClusterSync |
| PMM | PMM | Percona Monitoring and Management |
| PostgreSQL | PG, DISTPG | Percona Distribution for PostgreSQL |
| Operators | K8SPS, K8SPXC, K8SPSMDB, K8SPG | All Kubernetes Operators (MySQL, PXC, MongoDB, PostgreSQL) |
| Percona Toolkit | PT | Percona Toolkit |
| Valkey | VK | Valkey (early stage) |
| Packaging | PKG | Build and packaging infrastructure |
| Docs | DOCS | Documentation |
| Docs | DOCS | Documentation |

**IMPORTANT**: Always group and label by **team name** (e.g. "MySQL"), never by raw project key (e.g. "PS"). Roll up all project keys for a team into a single group. Project keys not in the table above get their own group named after the key.

### Team-Specific Notion Sources

Some teams maintain additional Notion databases with release/milestone context. Fetch these to enrich reports when the relevant team is in scope.

**MySQL Release Timeline** (Notion database)
- **Database ID**: `2cd674d091f380d4abe9eb7a4f6b88b1`
- **Data Source ID**: `collection://2cd674d0-91f3-8047-b82e-000bb59520fc`
- **Fields**: Release (title), Status (Released/Packaging/QA/Estimated/Future), Release Type, Product (PS/PXC/PXB/MySQL Operator), Estimated Landing Quarter, Release Gap (dates), Category
- **Use for**: Release context in MySQL sprint reports — what shipped, what's in QA, upcoming releases

**MySQL Milestone Log** (Notion page)
- **Page ID**: `32f674d091f381179148df9694d52ce0`
- **Structure**: Rolling 60-day window with Upcoming, Active, and Recent tables showing dates, events, types, products
- **Updated**: Weekly
- **Use for**: Major milestones and deadlines (e.g., "MySQL 8.0 EOL — Apr 30", "PS 8.4.8-8 released Mar 12"). Include in Key Initiatives section of MySQL reports.

### Sprint Data

**CRITICAL**: Sprint cadence varies by team. NEVER assume a fixed sprint length. Always pull the actual sprint dates from Jira using `customfield_10020` (sprint field).

**How to resolve "last sprint" queries:**
1. Query for the team's most recently closed sprint: `project in (PROJECT_KEYS) AND sprint in closedSprints() ORDER BY updated DESC` with `fields: ["customfield_10020"]`
2. The `customfield_10020` field returns an array of sprint objects. Find the one with `state: "closed"` and the most recent `completeDate`.
3. Each sprint object contains: `name`, `startDate`, `endDate`, `completeDate`, `goal`, `state`
4. Use the sprint's `startDate` and `endDate` as the date range for the report
5. Use `sprint = "{sprint name}"` in JQL to filter to that specific sprint

**Known sprint cadences** (may change — always verify from the data):
| Team | Example Sprint Name | Typical Duration |
|---|---|---|
| MySQL | "MySQL Sprint March 2026" | ~1 month (1st to end of month) |
| MongoDB | "MongoDB Server 36" | ~2 weeks |
| PostgreSQL | "Sprint 31" | ~2 weeks (last active sprints were late 2025) |

**Sprint goals**: The `goal` field in sprint objects often contains release targets and key deliverables. Include these in reports when available — they provide context that individual tickets don't.

### Key JQL Patterns

```
# Active work for a team (replace project keys as needed)
project in (PS, DISTMYSQL) AND status != Done AND status != Closed ORDER BY priority DESC

# Blockers
project in (PS, K8SPS) AND priority = Blocker AND status != Done

# What shipped in a specific sprint (use actual sprint name from data)
project in (PS, DISTMYSQL) AND sprint = "MySQL Sprint March 2026" AND status in (Done, Closed)

# What shipped in the last closed sprint (auto-detect)
project in (PS, DISTMYSQL) AND sprint in closedSprints() AND status in (Done, Closed) ORDER BY updated DESC

# Recently completed (fallback when no sprint data)
project in (PS, K8SPS) AND status changed to Done AFTER -7d

# Workload by assignee
project in (PS, K8SPS) AND status != Done AND status != Closed AND assignee is not EMPTY ORDER BY assignee
```

### Report Generation for Engineering Visibility

When generating Engineering Visibility reports:
1. **Select data source** using the Data Source Selection Logic above (Jira-first, Notion fallback)
2. **If using Jira API**: use `searchJiraIssuesUsingJql` with Cloud ID `07843b62-f0f6-4c9c-9c42-aaad27e6ff03`
3. **If using Notion sync (fallback)**: query `collection://302674d0-91f3-8087-a698-000b2c337f93` with filters for Status, Project, Updated date. Warn that data may be incomplete.
4. Map the user's team name to the correct project keys using the table above
5. **When the user says "last sprint"**: resolve the actual sprint dates from Jira (see Sprint Data above). NEVER default to 14 days — sprint lengths vary by team.
6. **Always group by team name**, rolling up project keys using the mapping. Never display raw project keys as group headers.
7. Group issues by epic/parent when available for the Team Status Dashboard
8. For Cross-Team Dependencies: use Blocked by/Is blocking relations (Notion) or issue links (Jira)
9. Always show data source, sprint name, and date range in the report header
9. Default time range: resolve actual sprint dates from Jira (see Sprint Data section). Fall back to last 14 days only if sprint data is unavailable.

### Visualization requirements

All visual styling flows through `references/vista-primitives.jsx` (see "Visual identity" above). The per-report layouts below describe **structure** (which primitives, which order, which data) — never colors, fonts, or class strings.

#### Layout A: Team Status Dashboard (#23) — Active Work

Use this layout for: "What's the team working on?", "Show me engineering status", "Any blockers?"

`accent` set to the team's product (`mysql`, `postgresql`, `mongodb`, `kubernetes`, etc.); cross-team views omit it.

1. **`<ReportHeader>`** — `kicker="{TEAM} · ENGINEERING VISIBILITY"`, `title="Team Status"`, `sub="As of {date} · Projects: {KEYS} · Source: Jira"`
2. **`<KPIGrid columns={6}>`** — 6 tiles in this order: Total Active (headline), In Progress, In Review/QA, Blocked, Unassigned, Recently Completed (last sprint or 14d).
3. **Sprint goals** — if `customfield_10020[].goal` present: row of small `<Card>` blocks listing each goal. Skip if absent.
4. **Status distribution** — `<StackedHBar>`, one bar per project key, stacked by status group (To Do, In Progress, In Review, Pending Release, Blocked). Sort by total desc.
5. **Priority + Top assignees** — `grid grid-cols-2 gap-4`: left `<Donut>` for priority; right `<StackedHBar>` workload by assignee stacked by issue type.
6. **By epic / initiative** — `<Card>` per epic with name + count + a small inline `<StackedHBar height={28}>` of statuses. Ungrouped at bottom.
7. **Active issues table** — `<Card title="Active Issues">` containing a plain `<table>` styled with `var(--vista-border)`. Columns: Key (linked), Type, Priority, Summary, Assignee, Status, Epic.
8. **Recently completed** — last 10–20 Done/Closed items as a similar table.
9. **`<Callout variant="insight">`** — auto-generated key findings (3–5 bullets): total + trend, unassigned %, top epic, any Blocker/Urgent items, momentum.
10. **`<ReportFooter>`** — `source="Source: Jira (perconadev.atlassian.net) · Fetched {now} UTC"`

---

#### Layout B: Sprint Delivery / Cross-Team Feed (#26) — Completed Work

Use this layout for: "What shipped this week?", "What did X ship last sprint?", cross-team communication feeds.

`accent` set to the team's product when single-team; omit for cross-team feeds.

1. **`<ReportHeader>`** — `kicker="{TEAM} · SPRINT DELIVERY"`, `title="Sprint {name}"`, `sub="{start} – {end} · Projects: {KEYS} · Source: Jira"`
2. **`<KPIGrid columns={6}>`** — Total Shipped (headline), Bugs Fixed, New Features, Improvements, Maintenance/Tasks, Contributors.
3. **Sprint goals** — same rule as Layout A.
4. **Volume by project** — `<StackedHBar>` one bar per project key, stacked by issue type.
5. **Issue type + Contributors** — `grid grid-cols-2 gap-4`: left `<Donut>` of issue types; right `<StackedHBar>` of contributors stacked by type.
6. **Key initiatives / releases** — `<Card>` blocks listing Fix Versions and milestones shipped this sprint.
7. **Detail table** — `<Card title="Shipped This Sprint">` with table columns: Key, Type, Summary, Assignee, Status. Grouped by project key.
8. **`<Callout variant="insight">`** — sprint summary bullets.
9. **`<ReportFooter>`**.

#### Layout C: MySQL Cascade Report (#28) — anchor + 3 supporting signals

Use this layout for: "Show me the MySQL Cascade report", "MySQL Cascade", "MySQL adoption report", "Are we on track?", "PS instances KPI", or any MySQL Cascade tracking. **Read `references/cascade-kpi-mysql.md` first** — it defines all four signals (anchor + 3 supporting), their baselines, targets, queries, and on-track logic.

`accent="mysql"` for MySQL Cascade. Layout is RIGID — same structure every time. Render all four signals in every report.

**Section A: Header + anchor signal (Monthly Active PS Instances)**

1. `<ReportHeader kicker="MYSQL · CASCADE" title="MySQL Adoption — Anchor + Supporting Signals" sub="Tracking Jan 1 – Dec 31, 2026 · Source: ClickHouse"/>`
2. `<StatusBanner status>` for the anchor — `good` if ≥ pace, `warning` within 2%, `danger` > 2% below. Body: `Anchor (Monthly Active PS): {STATUS} — {actual} vs {required_at_pace} required ({±delta})`.
3. **Progress strip** — thin `<Card>` with Baseline / Current / Target markers; fill = % of growth achieved; pace-marker line at expected position.
4. `<KPIGrid columns={5}>` — Current (headline, status-colored via `valueColor`), Baseline (Jan 26), Target (Dec 26), Growth Needed, Monthly Pace Required.
5. **Anchor trend** — `<Card title="Monthly Active PS Instances vs target pace">` containing `<TrendLine>` with three series: `actual` (area, accent), `target` (dashed, muted), `projected` (dashed, subtle). `refLines` = baseline + target.
6. **Secondary anchor metrics** — `grid-cols-2`: left `<Card>` "8.4 Adoption" with big number + ten-month delta; right `<Card>` with `<VersionBars>` for PS version distribution.

**Section B: three supporting signals — repeating sub-section**

Each supporting signal is a self-contained block. Use `--vista-chart-2` (blue) as the primary series — the accent stays reserved for the anchor.

7. **Supporting #1: Active PXC Clusters (floor target)**
   - Sub-header: kicker `SUPPORTING SIGNAL · 1 OF 3`, title `Active PXC Clusters`, one-line "why" pointing at HA-tier customer retention.
   - `<KPIGrid columns={4}>`: Current ({month}, headline, status-colored), Baseline, Target (`"≥ 1,000"`), Status label.
   - `<Card title="Monthly trend"><TrendLine data series=[{key:'clusters', area:true, color:'var(--vista-chart-2)'}] refLines=[{y:1000,label:'Floor: 1,000'},{y:850,label:'Critical: 850',color:'var(--vista-danger)'}] height={220}/></Card>`
   - **No "target pace" series** — it's a floor, not a growth target.
   - Status: ≥1,000 ON TRACK; 850–999 BEHIND; <850 CRITICAL.
   - Pair with a small `<Card title="Diagnostic: PXC instances (not tracked)">` showing instance trend.

8. **Supporting #2: Active Operator-Deployed MySQL Instances**
   - Sub-header: `SUPPORTING SIGNAL · 2 OF 3`, `Operator-Deployed MySQL`, "Cloud-native momentum across PS Operator + PXC Operator."
   - `<KPIGrid columns={4}>`: Current (headline, status-colored), Baseline (2,692), Target (9,000), Status.
   - `<TrendLine>` with two series stacked visually: `ps_op` (area, chart-2), `pxc_op` (area, chart-4). RefLines = baseline + target.
   - `<Callout variant="warning">` flagging the **PXC Operator proxy caveat** ("PXC Operator count proxied via RHEL UBI base image until distinct telemetry lands").

9. **Supporting #3: PACKAGE PS with PXB co-installed**
   - Sub-header: `SUPPORTING SIGNAL · 3 OF 3`, `PS + PXB Co-install (commercial-intent proxy)`, one-line "strongest behavioral proxy for buying intent."
   - `<KPIGrid columns={4}>`: Current (headline, status-colored), Baseline (13,142), Target (18,000), Status.
   - `<TrendLine>` single series (`actual`, area, chart-2). RefLines = baseline + target.
   - **Watch metric (alongside the absolute count)**: small `<Card>` showing the PXB-in-PACKAGE-PS ratio (`with_pxb / package_total`). Currently ~28–32%. If the latest ratio is below 25%, surface a `<Callout variant="warning">` — that's an early signal growth is concentrating in non-monetizable segments even if the absolute count is on track.
   - Methodology note: PXB co-install is detected via the `installed_packages` key in the PS row's `metrics` array (`LIKE '%percona-xtrabackup%'`), not a cross-product-family join. Counter is `uniqExact(host_instance_id)`. Filter is `pillar_deployment = 'PACKAGE'`.

**Section C: tail**

10. `<Card title="GSM Framework">` — anchor only. Goal / Signal / Measure rows.
11. `<Callout variant="warning" label="Data quality">` if any months were excluded.
12. `<Callout variant="insight">` — 4–6 bullets:
    - Anchor status with numbers.
    - One bullet per supporting signal (status + last-month delta).
    - Top cross-signal observation (e.g. "operator growth is the standout while PXC clusters are bumping the floor").
    - Top risk going into next month.
13. `<ReportFooter source="Source: ClickHouse · telemetryd · Queried {now} UTC"/>`

### Natural Language Triggers for the MySQL Cascade Report
- "Show me the MySQL Cascade report" -> MySQL Cascade Report (#28) using `references/cascade-kpi-mysql.md` *(canonical phrasing)*
- "MySQL Cascade" / "MySQL adoption report" / "MySQL adoption cascade" -> MySQL Cascade Report (#28)
- "PS instances KPI" / "MySQL KPI" -> MySQL Cascade Report (#28)
- "Are we on track?" (in context of MySQL/telemetry) -> MySQL Cascade Report (#28)
- "Cascade dashboard" / "cascade metric" -> MySQL Cascade Report (#28)
- Legacy phrasing "MySQL Cascade KPI" still routes here for backwards compat — the report covers the anchor *plus* three supporting signals, so prefer "report" in new docs.

### Natural Language Triggers for Engineering Visibility
- "What's the MySQL team working on?" -> Team Status Dashboard (#23) filtered to MySQL
- "Where are teams waiting on each other?" -> Cross-Team Dependencies (#24)
- "How loaded is the team?" / "Show me workload" -> Workload & Capacity (#25)
- "What shipped this week?" / "What did Operators ship last sprint?" -> Cross-Team Communication Feed (#26)
- "Any blockers on PostgreSQL?" -> Team Status Dashboard (#23) filtered to blockers
- "Show me engineering status" -> Team Status Dashboard (#23) for all teams
- "What are the big wins and risks this week?" -> Team Highlights & Risks (#27) for all teams
- "What's going on with the PostgreSQL team?" -> Team Highlights & Risks (#27) filtered to PostgreSQL + Team Status Dashboard (#23)
- "Give me the highlights" / "What should I know?" -> Team Highlights & Risks (#27) for all teams
- "Any red flags across engineering?" -> Team Highlights & Risks (#27), focus on Bad items
- "Summarize this week for leadership" -> Team Highlights & Risks (#27) + Cross-Team Communication Feed (#26)

## Report Generation Process

When the user requests a report:

1. **Identify the report type** from the catalog above, or design a custom one if it does not match.
2. **Check data availability**:
   - Query the Notion data catalog for relevant metrics
   - Check if live MCP connectors are available for the source systems
   - If no live connector exists yet, use the catalog metadata (description, formula, segmentation) to frame the report
3. **Inform the user** what data sources will be used and any gaps.
4. **Generate the analysis** using live data when connectors are available, or catalog metadata for structure.
5. **Render the visualization** following the chart output rules below.
6. **Deliver the report** with:
   - Title and date range
   - Data source attribution (with freshness)
   - Key findings (3-5 bullet points)
   - The chart/visualization
   - Recommended actions (if applicable)
7. **After every report**, ask: "Would you like me to generate a shareable HTML version of this report?" This gives the user an easy path to share via email or browser without needing to know about the HTML option.

## Chart output rules

Vista emits a single HTML artifact per report. The render contract is in **Visual identity** at the top of this file; the canonical implementation is `references/vista-primitives.html`.

**Skeleton every report follows:**

```html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
  <meta charset="utf-8">
  <title>VISTA · {Report Title}</title>

  <!-- === BEGIN VISTA HTML PRIMITIVES (verbatim from references/vista-primitives.html) === -->
  <!--   Paste the entire block (style#vista-tokens + script#vista-renderer) here. -->
  <!-- === END VISTA HTML PRIMITIVES === -->
</head>

<body class="vista-report" data-theme="dark" data-accent="mysql">
  <div class="vista-container">
    <div id="hdr"></div>

    <main class="vista-main">
      <!-- status banner, KPI grid, charts, callouts, etc. -->
      <div class="vista-banner vista-banner--good">
        <span class="vista-banner-dot"></span>
        <div>{STATUS} — {actual} vs {required} ({delta})</div>
      </div>

      <div class="vista-card">
        <div class="vista-card-title">Monthly Trend</div>
        <div id="chart-trend"></div>
      </div>
    </main>

    <div id="ftr"></div>
  </div>

  <script>
    document.getElementById("hdr").innerHTML = Vista.header({
      kicker: "MYSQL · CASCADE", title: "MySQL Adoption — Anchor + Supporting Signals",
      sub: "Tracking Jan 1 – Dec 31, 2026 · Source: ClickHouse", theme: "dark"
    });
    document.getElementById("ftr").innerHTML = Vista.footer({
      source: "Source: ClickHouse · telemetryd · Queried {now} UTC", theme: "dark"
    });
    Vista.renderTrendLine("chart-trend", {
      data: [/* ... */],
      series: [
        { key: "actual", name: "Active", area: true, color: "--vista-accent" },
        { key: "target", name: "Target pace", dashed: true, color: "--vista-text-muted" }
      ],
      height: 320,
      refLines: [{ y: 57912, label: "Baseline" }, { y: 100000, label: "Target", color: "--vista-accent" }]
    });
  </script>
</body>
</html>
```

**Chart selection** — see `references/chart-templates.md`. The four primitives cover ~95% of cases:
- `Vista.renderStackedHBar` — status / priority / volume-by-team / contributor breakdowns
- `Vista.renderTrendLine` — monthly/weekly trends, KPI progress, supports refLines + area
- `Vista.renderDonut` — categoricals with 5–7 categories
- `Vista.renderVersionBars` — single-series ranked bars; always uses `--vista-accent`

**JSX is no longer the primary path.** Reports go out as HTML artifacts. If a user explicitly asks for the JSX source, point them at the `vista-primitives.jsx` reference for direct consumption — but the deliverable is the HTML artifact.

## Data Processing Guidelines

- When live data is available via MCP connectors, use Python with pandas for data manipulation
- Always show your work: print summary stats before charting
- Handle missing data gracefully (fill, interpolate, or exclude with a note)
- Normalize currency to USD unless specified
- Date ranges: default to trailing 12 months unless specified
- Segmentation: respect the segmentation dimensions from the Notion catalog
- Never fabricate data. If a connector is not yet available, say so clearly and describe what the report would show once the connector is live.
- When working from catalog metadata only (no live connector), generate report templates with placeholder structure and sample visualizations showing the expected chart shape.

## Interaction Patterns

**Natural language queries the user might ask:**
- "How's our pipeline looking?" -> Pipeline Snapshot (#1)
- "Show me download trends for MySQL" -> Download Trends (#13) filtered to MySQL
- "Which accounts are at risk of churning?" -> Churn Risk Dashboard (#7)
- "What's engineering working on?" -> Team Status Dashboard (#23)
- "What's the MySQL team working on?" -> Team Status Dashboard (#23) filtered to MySQL
- "Where are teams waiting on each other?" -> Cross-Team Dependencies (#24)
- "How loaded is the team?" -> Workload & Capacity (#25)
- "What shipped this week?" -> Cross-Team Communication Feed (#26)
- "Give me the exec summary" -> Executive Summary (#20)
- "What are the big wins and risks this week?" -> Team Highlights & Risks (#27)
- "What's going on with PostgreSQL?" -> Team Highlights & Risks (#27) + Team Status (#23) filtered
- "Any red flags across engineering?" -> Team Highlights & Risks (#27), Bad items
- "Summarize this week for leadership" -> Team Highlights (#27) + Communication Feed (#26)
- "Compare EMEA vs AMER bookings" -> Bookings Trend (#2) with regional split
- "TAM hours for [customer]" -> TAM Utilization (#11) filtered

**Clarification questions to ask when ambiguous:**
- Time range (this quarter, trailing 12 months, YTD?)
- Product scope (all products, MySQL only, specific product line?)
- Region scope (global, specific region?)
- Audience (who will see this report?)

## Output & Pinning convention

**Hard rule: every Vista report MUST be delivered as a Cowork artifact, not as a file write.**

Empirical evidence (gathered iteratively): when Vista produces a `.jsx` file via the Write or Bash tools and saves it to `outputs/...jsx`, Cowork shows it as a *file preview* with no pin or download icons — only "Show in Folder". When Vista produces the same content via Cowork's **artifact creation tool** (the same mechanism that produces "Created artifact: <slug>" in the chat), Cowork shows it as a **Live Artifact** with full pin + download UI. Identical bytes, different display, depending solely on which path was used.

### Mandatory delivery path

Use Cowork's HTML artifact creation mechanism. The result must produce "Created artifact: vista-<slug>" in chat with a pinnable, downloadable artifact in the right pane.

**Artifact type: `text/html`.** The full design system is now available as HTML — `references/vista-primitives.html` mirrors the JSX primitives 1:1 (same tokens, same Percona wordmark/logomark SVGs, same chart algorithms, same shell layout). Paste its `BEGIN/END VISTA HTML PRIMITIVES` block verbatim into the `<head>`, then build the report body using the documented classes and `Vista.render*` chart functions (see "Visual identity" above).

**Do not improvise inline HTML or pull a generic Chart.js setup** — that loses the brand. The HTML primitives are the contract.

**Do not save the report to `outputs/...html` via Write/Bash** as the primary deliverable — file-saved HTML isn't pinnable in Cowork's UI either. The artifact-tool path is the *only* path that produces pin + download icons.

### What NOT to do

- **Do not save the report as a file in `outputs/` via the Write tool as the primary deliverable.** The user has been clear: `outputs/`-saved files are not pinnable in Cowork's UI.
- **Do not save via Bash `cat > file.jsx`.** Same problem.
- A file copy on disk is fine *as a secondary side effect* if the user explicitly asks ("save a copy to disk too"), but never as a substitute for the artifact.

### Artifact identifier

Use the slug from the filename table below as the artifact identifier. Example: a Cascade report uses identifier `vista-cascade-mysql` (no date suffix — Cowork tracks artifact versions independently).

### Everything else stays the same

The structural rules below still apply: the report MUST be a single self-contained JSX module, with the primitives pasted verbatim, the four-line header comment, and the `export default function App()` shape. Those produce a renderable React artifact; the artifact-tool path is what makes Cowork pin it.

Every Vista artifact MUST follow this exact shape:

### Artifact identifier (and filename if a copy is requested)

- **Cowork artifact identifier**: `vista-beta-{report-slug}` (no date — Cowork tracks versions itself).
- **Filename if user asks for a disk copy**: `vista-beta-{report-slug}-{YYYY-MM-DD}.jsx`.
- `{report-slug}` is kebab-case and stable per report type — always the same slug for the same report. Never include the team name or date in the slug itself.

| Report | Slug |
|---|---|
| MySQL Cascade Report (#28) | `cascade-mysql` |
| Team Status (#23) | `team-status-{team}` (e.g. `team-status-mysql`) |
| Sprint Delivery / Comms feed (#26) | `sprint-delivery-{team}` or `comms-feed` |
| Cross-Team Dependencies (#24) | `dependencies` |
| Workload & Capacity (#25) | `capacity-{team}` |
| Team Highlights & Risks (#27) | `team-highlights` |
| Download Trends (#13) | `downloads-{product}` |
| Telemetry Adoption (#14) | `telemetry-{product}` |
| Pipeline Snapshot (#1) | `pipeline` |
| Executive Summary (#20) | `exec-summary` |

Examples: `vista-cascade-mysql-2026-04-26.jsx`, `vista-team-status-mongodb-2026-04-26.jsx`.

### Top-of-file header (mandatory, exact shape)

The first 4 lines of every artifact, in this exact format:

```jsx
// VISTA · {Report Title} — {Subtitle}
// Generated {YYYY-MM-DD} by VISTA
// Source: {primary source string}
// Report ID: vista-beta-{slug}
```

- Line 1 is the human-readable artifact title. Keep it under 80 chars. Title-case. This is what people will see when they hover the pinned artifact or open it later.
- Line 4 (`Report ID`) is the stable handle so a fresh regeneration is recognizable as the same report type — pin one, downloads from the next regen still slot logically alongside it.

Honest caveat: I can't guarantee Cowork's pin sidebar will *automatically group* regenerations by Report ID — Cowork's pin UI is keyed on the conversation/artifact in the moment, not on metadata inside the file. But a stable filename + Report ID line means when you scroll the pin sidebar, the related ones are visually adjacent and obvious.

### Default export shape (mandatory)

The last block of the file is always:

```jsx
export default function App() {
  return (
    <VistaReport theme={...} accent={...}>
      <Report />
    </VistaReport>
  );
}
```

Cowork recognizes the artifact as a pinnable React component only when there is a single `export default function App()` (or `export default App`) wrapping `<VistaReport>`. Don't rename `App`. Don't multi-export. Don't ship a Report-only file without the App wrapper.

### What this fixes

- **Consistent pin titles** — `// VISTA · MySQL Cascade Report — Anchor + Supporting Signals` is what shows in the pin sidebar, not `cascade-kpi-mysql-2026-04-25`.
- **Regenerations don't fragment the sidebar** — same slug → Cowork groups them.
- **Cross-report grouping** — pin tag lets the user filter "all my Cascade reports" or "all my Team Status reports" at a glance.

### Workspace path

Save under the Cowork outputs folder. Always provide a `computer://` link to the output file.
