"""
Metadata client factory.

Selects the metadata client implementation from the
``MX_METADATA_BACKEND`` env var. The returned object duck-types
:class:`MxClient`, so callers (loaders, strategies) never need to
branch on backend.

Supported values:

- ``""`` / ``"server"`` / ``"redis"`` / ``"kubernetes"`` / ``"k8s"`` /
  ``"crd"`` - central ModelExpress server (default). Returns
  :class:`MxClient`.
- ``"k8s-service"`` / ``"service"`` - K8s-Service-routed decentralized
  backend. Returns :class:`MxK8sServiceClient`.
