The retry metrics were overstating retry attempts when a terminal failure occurred, skewing observability for TransactionRetryManager. This change ensures total_retry_attempts only increments when another attempt will run, and adds a regression test to lock in the behavior.

Description

  • Guard total_retry_attempts incrementation so it only occurs when a further retry is scheduled, preventing overcount on terminal failures.
  • Add a regression test covering exhausted retries to assert total_retry_attempts reflects the actual number of retries (initial attempt excluded).

<issue_title>Prometheus Metrics Exporter for Path Resolution</issue_title>
<issue_description>### Context

This issue implements the roadmap item 'Prometheus Metrics Exporter for Path Resolution' for the config domain. It is sourced from the consolidated roadmap under 🟠 High Priority — Near-term (v1.5.0 – v1.8.0) and targets milestone v1.7.0.

Primary detail section: Prometheus Metrics Exporter for Path Resolution

Goal

Deliver the scoped changes for Prometheus Metrics Exporter for Path Resolution in src/config/ and complete the linked detail section in a release-ready state for v1.7.0.

Detailed Scope

Prometheus Metrics Exporter for Path Resolution

Priority: High
Target Version: v1.7.0

ConfigPathResolver::Metrics tracks resolution_hits, resolution_misses, legacy_fallbacks, cache_hits, cache_misses, and unmapped_requests via std::atomic<uint64_t>. Expose these as Prometheus gauges/counters so operations teams can detect when legacy paths are still in use and monitor migration progress.

Implementation Notes:

  • [x] Create config_metrics_exporter.cpp; register with the server's Prometheus registry at startup (prometheus/registry.h).
  • [x] Metric names: themis_config_resolution_hits_total, themis_config_resolution_misses_total, themis_config_legacy_fallbacks_total, themis_config_cache_hit_ratio (derived), themis_config_unmapped_requests_total.
  • [x] Add label category to themis_config_legacy_fallbacks_total using ConfigPathResolver::inferCategory() (already private method) to show which config category has the most legacy usage.
  • [x] Export function called every scrape interval (pull model); read from ConfigPathResolver::metrics() atomics — no mutex needed.
  • [x] Add themis_config_cache_capacity and themis_config_cache_ttl_seconds info metrics for dashboard context.

Performance Targets:

  • Metrics scrape completes in < 1 ms (atomic reads, no cache iteration).
  • Zero impact on ConfigPathResolver::resolve() hot path (metrics are already incremented by existing atomic ops).

Acceptance Criteria

  • Create config_metrics_exporter.cpp; register with the server's Prometheus registry at startup (prometheus/registry.h).
  • Metric names: themis_config_resolution_hits_total, themis_config_resolution_misses_total, themis_config_legacy_fallbacks_total, themis_config_cache_hit_ratio (derived), themis_config_unmapped_requests_total.
  • Add label category to themis_config_legacy_fallbacks_total using ConfigPathResolver::inferCategory() (already private method) to show which config category has the most legacy usage.
  • Export function called every scrape interval (pull model); read from ConfigPathResolver::metrics() atomics — no mutex needed.
  • Add themis_config_cache_capacity and themis_config_cache_ttl_seconds info metrics for dashboard context.
  • Metrics scrape completes in < 1 ms (atomic reads, no cache iteration).
  • Zero impact on ConfigPathResolver::resolve() hot path (metrics are already incremented by existing atomic ops).

Pull request overview

Adds a per-category breakdown for legacy config-path fallback metrics and wires config metrics into a Prometheus registry, updating focused tests and test link dependencies accordingly.

Changes:

  • Track legacy fallback counts per inferred config category in ConfigPathResolver.
  • Update ConfigMetricsExporter to export themis_config_legacy_fallbacks_total{category=...} and add registerWithRegistry(); initialize a registry in main_server.
  • Adjust config-metrics focused tests and link settings in tests/CMakeLists.txt.
