  <definition term="--id string required">
    The identifier for the rule.
  </definition>
  <definition term="--artifacts string[]">
    Artifacts attached to the rule, each shaped as `{ id, type, data }`. `data` is a type-specific object (for example a `runbook` may carry `content`, a `dashboard` may carry `dashboardId`). Per-type shape is validated by the artifact-type registry when the type is registered; unregistered types pass through with envelope bounds only.
    **Repeatable:** pass `--artifacts` multiple times to supply more than one value
