77-79: No XSS risk from system-generated alert data.

The implementation correctly wraps the message with LinkifyExternal for URL detection. Alert messages (from getAlertDescription, getAlertMessage, or getAlertSummary) are system-generated from monitoring systems (Prometheus/AlertManager) via alert annotations—not user input. This pattern is already established in the notification drawer for the same purpose, and requires no additional sanitization beyond the browser's standard link handling.
