Cumulative Prometheus histogram sums are stored as f64 values.
MetricsCapture::histogram_sum_delta() subtracts two snapshots, so a
fractional observation recorded before a capture can make a correct delta
differ by a few low-order bits. This made HTTP metrics tests intermittently
compare values such as 12.499999999999998 or 12.500000000000002 with
12.5.

Add a shared ApproxHistogramSum test value with an absolute difference below
1e-9 and return it directly from histogram_sum_delta(), making the tolerant
comparison structural for every caller. The existing FMDS-local wrapper and
all hand-written histogram-sum tolerance checks are replaced by the shared
helper, whose boundary coverage is centralized in the instrumentation crate.
Counters, histogram counts, logs, and production metrics remain exact and
unchanged.

Type of Change

  • Add - New feature or capability
  • Change - Changes in existing functionality
  • Fix - Bug fixes
  • Remove - Removed features or deprecated functionality
  • Internal - Internal changes (refactoring, tests, docs, etc.)

Breaking Changes

  • This PR contains breaking changes

Testing

  • Unit tests added/updated

  • Integration tests added/updated

  • Manual testing performed

  • No testing required (docs, internal refactor, etc.)

  • Focused tests for the shared comparator and each migrated histogram check

  • cargo test -p carbide-agent --lib -- --test-threads=64 (256 passed)

  • Agent HTTP instrumentation tests in 200 fresh processes (200 passed)

  • Linux cargo check for all 14 affected packages with test targets

  • Linux cargo clippy for the shared helper and three newly migrated packages
    with test targets and -D warnings

  • rustup run nightly cargo fmt --all -- --check

  • git diff --check

Additional Notes

No production code changes. The tolerance applies only to cumulative histogram
sum deltas; counter and count assertions remain exact.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Tests
    • Improved validation of histogram-based metrics across instrumentation and service components.
    • Standardized tolerance-aware comparisons for negligible floating-point differences.
    • Preserved exact checks for counts, labels, logs, and recorded durations.
    • Added coverage to confirm acceptable precision and detect larger discrepancies.
    • Consolidated histogram-sum comparison behavior across metric test suites.
    • No user-facing behavior changes.

Walkthrough

Changes

The PR adds the public ApproxHistogramSum comparator with 1e-9 tolerance. Metric tests across multiple crates now use it for histogram sum assertions. Exact counter and histogram-count checks remain unchanged.

Histogram comparison contract

Layer / File(s) Summary
Shared comparator and validation
crates/instrument/src/testing.rs, crates/instrument/tests/matrix.rs
Adds ApproxHistogramSum, updates histogram-sum capture, and validates negligible and material floating-point differences.

Metric test migration

Layer / File(s) Summary
Core metric tests
crates/agent/..., crates/api-core/..., crates/bmc-proxy/src/metrics.rs, crates/dns/src/lib.rs, crates/dpa-manager/src/metrics.rs, crates/dpa/src/metrics.rs, crates/firmware/src/tests/downloader.rs, crates/fmds/src/http_request_metrics.rs, crates/preingestion-manager/src/metrics.rs
Converts captured and expected histogram sums to ApproxHistogramSum. Removes the local FMDS comparator and its dedicated tolerance test.
Additional metric tests
crates/ib-fabric/src/metrics.rs, crates/nvlink-manager/..., crates/scout/src/metrics.rs, crates/site-explorer/src/metrics.rs
Applies the shared comparator to iteration, operation, certificate, cleanup, and latency histogram assertions.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~15 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to c8926

This change makes histogram-sum test comparisons tolerant of insignificant floating-point rounding while leaving production metrics behavior unchanged. No merge-blocking risk remains.
