Improve config-load observability (#304)

[lodyai]

Summary

This branch instruments the two configuration-loading phases so operators can
identify failures, compare outcomes, and inspect startup latency without
unbounded telemetry labels.

Closes #304.

Review walkthrough

• Start with src/observability.rs for the bounded metric vocabulary, error categorization, process recorder, and isolated recorder-backed tests.
• Review src/main.rs for the configuration phase timing, outcome recording, and contextual error events at the CLI composition root.
• Check src/main_tests.rs for the structured log-field contract, then docs/developers-guide.md for its maintenance contract.

Validation

• make check-fmt: passed
• make typecheck: passed
• make lint: passed
• make test: passed (1,913 nextest tests and doctests)
• make markdownlint: passed
• make nixie: passed
• coderabbit review --agent: passed with zero findings after each milestone

Summary by Sourcery

Instrument configuration loading phases with bounded metrics, structured error logging, and a process-wide metrics recorder to improve observability of config-load behavior and failures.

New Features:

• Add a process-level observability module that records configuration load outcomes and durations with bounded phase labels.
• Emit a debug metrics snapshot at process shutdown when verbose CLI output is enabled.

Enhancements:

• Augment configuration load error logging with operation and categorized error fields while preserving human-readable messages.
• Wrap diagnostic-mode resolution and configuration merging in observability recording to track phase-level success and failure.
• Ensure exit handling consistently routes through a common finish function that can emit observability snapshots.

Documentation:

• Extend the developers guide with the configuration observability contract, including metric names, labels, and structured log field expectations.

Tests:

• Add observability-focused tests verifying metric recording for each config load phase and structured log fields for configuration errors.

Summary

• Add bounded metrics for configuration-load phases, outcomes, and durations.
• Add structured error fields for operation and coarse error category.
• Cache discovered configuration layers to avoid repeated discovery and preserve deferred diagnostics.
• Prevent raw configuration paths and filenames from appearing in discovery traces.
• Install a process-wide metrics recorder and emit snapshots during verbose shutdown paths.
• Add binary-level and unit tests for failure paths, metric labels, snapshots, error classification, and structured logging.
• Document the observability contract in the user, developer, and design guides.
• Move metrics-util to regular dependencies.

Validation

• Pass formatting, type checking, linting, tests, Markdown linting, Nixie, and CodeRabbit validation.

Walkthrough

Configuration loading now performs one discovery pass, reuses cached layers, defers bounded diagnostics, and records phase metrics. Human-readable failures include structured fields. Verbose runs emit metric snapshots. JSON diagnostics remain machine-readable.

Poem

Metrics wake at launch.
Cached layers cross one discovery pass.
Hashes guard each path.
Diagnostics wait, then replay.
Verbose runs leave snapshots.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 6914d

The PR adds configuration-load metrics and structured failure logging, but the current implementation reports incomplete startup-duration telemetry and retains a mandatory test-size violation; documentation and test-contract issues also remain. These bounded observability and repository-readiness problems should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merge.

Caution

Pre-merge checks failed

Please resolve all errors before merging. Addressing warnings is optional.

• Ignore

❌ Failed checks (1 error, 1 warning, 7 inconclusive)

Check name	Status	Explanation	Resolution
Testing (Overall)	❌ Error	Tests cover normal completion and configuration failures, but no test exercises the changed informational-help path through finish_run or verifies its verbose metrics snapshot.	Add a binary test for verbose informational help. Assert successful exit, the metrics snapshot marker, and the expected empty or bounded snapshot output.
Performance And Resource Use	⚠️ Warning	init_metrics installs DebuggingRecorder globally; metrics-util 0.20.4 stores each histogram in a Vec until snapshot(), so existing per-command and per-macro samples grow with workload.	Restrict the recorder to bounded configuration metrics, use a bounded histogram or reservoir, or drain samples periodically before they grow with workload.
User-Facing Documentation	❓ Inconclusive	Awaiting repository evidence before assessing user-facing documentation.	Inspect the pull-request diff and users guide for coverage of each new user-facing behaviour.
Developer Documentation	❓ Inconclusive	Initial assessment pending repository and diff inspection.	Inspect the pull-request diff and the developer and design documentation for coverage of changed APIs and architecture.
Testing (Unit And Behavioural)	❓ Inconclusive	Investigation started; no verdict yet.	Gather the pull-request diff and inspect unit, behavioural, and end-to-end coverage before deciding.
Testing (Property / Proof)	❓ Inconclusive	Investigation in progress; no verdict yet.	Inspect the introduced invariants and the pull-request test coverage before deciding whether property testing is required.

File-Level Changes

Change	Details	Files
Introduce a dedicated observability module for configuration loading with bounded metrics, error classification, and recorder-backed tests.	Define stable metric names and phase/operation constants for configuration-load observability. Install a process-wide DebuggingRecorder and snapshotter, and expose init_metrics/emit_metrics_snapshot helpers. Implement record_config_load to wrap each configuration phase, timing it and recording success/failure counters and durations. Implement classify_error to map OrthoError variants into low-cardinality error categories without exposing paths or messages. Add unit tests validating error classification and the recorded metric shapes and labels using a local DebuggingRecorder.	src/observability.rs
Wire configuration observability into the CLI startup and config-loading paths, and emit structured error events with bounded context.	Register observability metrics immediately after tracing initialization in run_with_args. Refactor run_with_args to capture verbose mode early and route all exit paths through a new finish_run helper that optionally emits a metrics snapshot. Extend config_err_to_exit to accept an operation identifier and emit structured tracing errors including operation and error_category fields. Wrap diagnostic-mode resolution and full configuration merge calls in record_config_load to capture per-phase metrics. Propagate appropriate operation constants (diag_mode_resolution and config_merge) into error handling paths.	src/main.rs
Add tests to enforce the structured log-field contract for config-load errors and ensure operation/category fields are present.	Import OrthoError into main_tests to construct representative validation and file errors. Exercise config_err_to_exit in human-readable mode for both diagnostic-mode and merge operations under a tracing subscriber with a buffering writer. Assert that emitted logs contain the expected operation and error_category field values for each error type. Verify that both error paths produce ExitCode::FAILURE.	src/main_tests.rs
Document the configuration observability contract and recorder usage in the developer guide.	Describe the ownership of configuration observability by src/observability.rs and its role at the CLI boundary. Specify the metric names, label vocabulary, and outcome semantics for config_load_total and config_load_duration_seconds. Explain init_metrics and emit_metrics_snapshot behavior, including process-wide recorder installation and verbose-only snapshot emission. Clarify the structured logging fields (operation, error_category, error) and the requirement to keep labels low-cardinality and avoid configuration detail.	docs/developers-guide.md
Promote metrics-util from a dev-only dependency to a main dependency aligned with metrics 0.24 for production observability.	Move metrics-util with the debugging feature from dev-dependencies into the main dependencies section of Cargo.toml. Remove the now-redundant dev-dependency comment about DebuggingRecorder being used only in tests, since it is now application-owned. Ensure the metrics-util version and features remain compatible with the existing metrics crate version.	Cargo.toml

Assessment against linked issues

Issue	Objective	Addressed	Explanation
#304	Add structured log fields to configuration-load error paths, including operation (diag_mode_resolution or config_merge) and error_category (io, parse, validation) in the handle_config_load_error / config-load error logging in src/main.rs.	✅
#304	Introduce metrics counters for configuration-load outcomes, incremented for each config-load attempt and labeled by phase (diag_mode vs merge) and outcome (success / failure).	✅
#304	Instrument startup latency for the configuration-load phases (from cli::resolve_merged_diag_json through cli::merge_with_config) using a duration histogram labeled by phase, and document the configuration observability contract (metric names, label conventions, buckets, and structured log fields) in docs/developers-guide.md.	✅

Complex Method

src/observability.rs: tests.records_each_config_load_phase_and_outcome

What lead to degradation?

tests.records_each_config_load_phase_and_outcome has a cyclomatic complexity of 15, threshold = 9

Why does this problem occur?

A Complex Method has a high cyclomatic complexity. The recommended threshold for the Rust language is a cyclomatic complexity lower than 9.

How to fix it?

There are many reasons for Complex Method. Sometimes, another design approach is beneficial such as a) modeling state using an explicit state machine rather than conditionals, or b) using table lookup rather than long chains of logic. In other scenarios, the function can be split using EXTRACT FUNCTION. Just make sure you extract natural and cohesive functions. Complex Methods can also be addressed by identifying complex conditional expressions and then using the DECOMPOSE CONDITIONAL refactoring.

Helpful refactoring examples

To get a general understanding of what this code health issue looks like - and how it might be addressed - we have prepared some diffs for illustrative purposes.

SAMPLE

# complex_method.js
 function postItem(item) {
   if (!item.id) {
-    if (item.x != null && item.y != null) {
-      post(item);
-    } else {
-      throw Error("Item must have x and y");
-    }
+    // extract a separate function for creating new item
+    postNew(item);
   } else {
-    if (item.x < 10 && item.y > 25) {
-      put(item);
-    } else {
-      throw Error("Item must have an x and y value between 10 and 25");
-    }
