Research direction

Start by tracing how the pull and push commands determine resource file extensions; the issue does not name specific files or tests. Confirm that alert and dashboard resources can consistently use .json, and verify that both commands still read and write the same extension when the resource type is supplied.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

enhancement

We are talking about the files where wavectl stores the json representation of resources. ( Alerts or Dashboards)

The file syntax is actually .json.
So for IDE support aspect, it makes sense to use the extension json.

The wavectl command could read the expected extension in an environment variable. But, I am actually not sure whether this is necessary. I do not think there is anything fundamental in the implementation that would break if we changed the .alert extension to .json.

In wavectl commands the user needs to specify the resource type already. For example
wavectl pull

alert
wavectl push dashboard

So as long as the pull and the push command's file extension expectations are the same, using .json should work simply.
