type: 'details'
The full-page layout used as content in an EntityDetailsDefinitionDocument — see Document types. It renders a side panel with an entity header (name, icon, and action buttons) and a health overview section, configured by alertGroups and alertQueryParams — see Health indicators. The main body is a tabbed layout that groups cards — metadata, charts, logs, tables, and more — into named sections the user can switch between.

Example
alertQueryParams is used to fetch Davis events matching the given filters (scoped here to the current host via $(entityId)), then alertGroups groups them by matchConditions and renders each group as a colored chip in the header. The header also shows two action buttons — a built-in OPEN_WITH and a custom intent action that opens another app. The content has two tabs: an overview with an alerts table, and a properties tab with entity metadata.
