//! Metrics hooks for observing handler activity.
//!
//! Implement [`Metrics`] to receive callbacks on requests, responses, errors,
//! latency, and queue depth changes. The default no-op implementation can be
//! overridden selectively.
//!
//! # Example
//!
//! ```rust,no_run
//! use a2a_protocol_server::metrics::Metrics;
//! use std::time::Duration;
//!
//! struct MyMetrics;
//!
//! impl Metrics for MyMetrics {
//!     fn on_request(&self, method: &str) {
//!         println!("request: {method}");
//!     }
//!     fn on_latency(&self, method: &str, duration: Duration) {
//!         println!("{method} took {duration:?}");
//!     }
//! }
//! ```
