Summary
PR #272462 redesigns the Alerting v2 rules list empty state at `/app/management/alertingV2/rules`, replacing the old welcome/starting-screen layout with a focused empty-state UI that shows an illustration, title, and stacked action panels for the three primary rule types (ES|QL rule, AI Agent rule, Threshold Alert rule). No public Alerting v2 documentation currently exists. When Alerting v2 is documented, any screenshot or description of the rules list page will need to reflect this new empty-state design rather than the old layout.
Why this needs docs: Visual UI redesign of a core entry-point screen; any future Alerting v2 docs that include screenshots or describe onboarding flow must reflect the new layout.

- What the docs say: No Alerting v2 documentation currently exists on the Elastic docs site.
- What to add: When Alerting v2 documentation is created, the rules list page description (and any screenshots) must depict the redesigned empty state: an illustration, a title, and three stacked bordered action panels for ES|QL rule, AI Agent rule, and Threshold Alert rule. Do not describe the earlier welcome/starting-screen layout. Stack only (technical preview, feature flag required: xpack.alerting_v2.enabled: true), from 9.5.0.
