6//! Metrics hooks for observing handler activity.
7//!
8//! Implement [`Metrics`] to receive callbacks on requests, responses, errors,
9//! latency, and queue depth changes. The default no-op implementation can be
10//! overridden selectively.
11//!
12//! # Example
13//!
14//! ```rust,no_run
15//! use a2a_protocol_server::metrics::Metrics;
16//! use std::time::Duration;
17//!
18//! struct MyMetrics;
19//!
20//! impl Metrics for MyMetrics {
21//! fn on_request(&self, method: &str) {
22//! println!("request: {method}");
23//! }
24//! fn on_latency(&self, method: &str, duration: Duration) {
25//! println!("{method} took {duration:?}");
26//! }
27//! }
28//! ```
