ic-metrics

Allocation-free saturating measurement arithmetic for Internet Computer crates.

The dependency-free no_std library exports record_sample for consumer-owned count/total fields and MeasurementSummary for samples, total, latest and maximum. Zero is a valid observation; an empty summary has no latest or maximum value. Count and total saturate independently. Consumers establish units, identity and reset boundaries before comparing observations; saturated totals cannot supply exact interval arithmetic.

use ic_metrics::MeasurementSummary;

let mut summary = MeasurementSummary::EMPTY;
assert_eq!(summary.latest(), None);
summary.record(0);
assert_eq!(summary.samples(), 1);
assert_eq!(summary.latest(), Some(0));

IcyDB, Canic and ic-timers currently use explicit local integration dependencies. Their inclusive or exclusive attribution, registries, callback roles, replication, persistence and reporting remain local. IC counter reads also remain consumer-owned. The extraction contract records scope and evidence.

Development

Install rustup, Git, GNU Make, Bash 3.2 or newer and a SHA-256 utility. The pinned toolchain is Rust 1.99.0 and the MSRV is 1.88.0. Install wasm32-unknown-unknown for Wasm checks. make help lists focused commands; select named tests during implementation. Full make ci requires an explicit request outside configured CI.

Install the pinned manifest formatter during developer setup:

cargo install cargo-sort --version 2.1.4 --locked
make install-hooks

make fmt sorts every workspace manifest before Rust formatting. make fmt-check checks both without changing files; CI installs the same pinned formatter. Run make install-hooks once per clone and after updating shared tooling. The repository-local pre-commit hook formats the staged snapshot, refreshes selected files, rejects partial staging and preserves unrelated working edits. It refuses to replace existing hook installations. make hook-check exercises these contracts in scratch repositories without creating commits.

See agent rules, host support and the current handoff. Reviewed shared tooling is vendored; normal checks and release scripts need no Shared Tooling sibling checkout.

Releases and adoption

The public repository is dragginzgame/ic-metrics. The changelog preserves the initial 0.1.0 scaffold, the maintainer's tagged 0.1.1 arithmetic release and 0.1.2 tooling release. Cargo metadata is 0.1.2 and the crate is eligible for crates.io publication. The tagged 0.1.1 revision passed native CI on Linux and both supported macOS architectures. Temporary consumer paths must become registry dependencies before the consuming packages can be published; the publication issue links each consumer's adoption work.

Maintainer-owned make release-patch, release-minor and release-major use the same reviewed workflow, with RELEASE_REMOTE=origin and RELEASE_BRANCH=main. They require cargo-edit (cargo set-version) and cargo-sort 2.1.4, run the complete offline gate, prepare only Cargo metadata and release notes, commit, tag and atomically push. They do not publish the crate. Rerun the same release target after interruption to reconcile the saved candidate without another bump. make release-resume VERSION=X.Y.Z remains available for explicit selection; identity, payload and destination conflicts stop recovery.

After committing publication-related changes, the maintainer can run:

make publish-check
make publish

publish-check delegates to Cargo's dry run. publish uploads only ic-metrics to crates.io, using the existing package version, locked dependencies and normal Cargo credential setup (cargo login --registry crates-io). Both retain Cargo's package verification and dirty-tree rejection. Publication creates no Git commit or tag, does not bump versions and preserves build artifacts. See Cargo's publication documentation.

cargo package -p ic-metrics --locked --offline --allow-dirty prepares and verifies a local development archive without uploading it. The package includes the canonical MIT license text, source and this README; documentation links resolve to the public repository. The manifest restricts publication to crates.io.
