Register xfunctions in global parser for rule file loading

CHANGELOG.md

@@ -12,6 +12,7 @@
 * [FEATURE] Querier: Add timeout classification to classify query timeouts as 4XX (user error) or 5XX (system error) based on phase timing. When enabled, queries that spend most of their time in PromQL evaluation return `422 Unprocessable Entity` instead of `503 Service Unavailable`. #7374
 * [FEATURE] Querier: Implement Resource Based Throttling in Querier. #7442
 * [FEATURE] Querier: Add resource-based query eviction that automatically cancels the heaviest running query when CPU or heap utilization exceeds configured thresholds. #7488
+* [BUGFIX] Ruler: Register xfunctions (xincrease, xrate, xdelta) in the global parser before loading rule files. #7621
 * [ENHANCEMENT] Upgrade prometheus alertmanager version to v0.32.1. #7462
 * [ENHANCEMENT] Tenant Federation: Avoid purging the regex resolver LRU cache on user-sync ticks when the set of known users has not changed. #7489
 * [ENHANCEMENT] Memberlist: Add `-memberlist.packet-read-timeout`, `-memberlist.max-packet-size`, and `-memberlist.max-concurrent-connections` flags to bound inbound gossip TCP connections, preventing slow-read, OOM, and connection-flood attacks on the gossip port. #7518
