//! Opt-in observer that records every field name seen at evaluation
//! time so consumers can report which event fields are not referenced
//! by any loaded rule (gap signal) and which rule fields have never
//! been seen in events (broken-coverage signal).
//!
//! Lives in `rsigma-eval` because the observer only depends on the
//! [`Event`] trait. The daemon (`rsigma-runtime` + `rsigma-cli`'s
//! `engine daemon`) and the one-shot evaluator (`rsigma-cli`'s
//! `engine eval`) both consume the same type so the report shape is
//! consistent across runtimes.
//!
//! # Design
//!
//! - Backed by a `std::sync::Mutex<HashMap<Arc<str>, u64>>`. The mutex
//!   is only held long enough to bump or insert a counter; the lock
//!   never wraps user code that could panic, so poisoning is
//!   effectively impossible in practice and the `lock().unwrap()`
//!   calls below treat poisoning as a programmer bug.
//! - A hard cap (`max_keys`) bounds memory. Once the cap is reached
//!   new keys are dropped and the `overflow_dropped` counter is
//!   incremented; existing counters keep updating so the observer
//!   keeps surfacing high-frequency keys even on a saturated set.
//! - The observer is opt-in: callers construct an `Arc<FieldObserver>`
//!   only when their `--observe-fields` flag is set. When unset the
//!   observation call sites stay unwired and the hot path is
//!   untouched.
//! - Keys are stored as `Arc<str>` so a snapshot only refcount-bumps
//!   each key rather than copying the string. Trade: one extra
//!   allocation per first-time-insert (Arc header) in exchange for
//!   near-free repeated snapshots.
//! - Lifetime counters (`lifetime_events_observed`,
//!   `lifetime_overflow_dropped`) are monotonic across resets so
//!   Prometheus counter bridges don't desync when the daemon resets
//!   the observer via `DELETE /api/v1/fields/observer`.
//!
//! # Coordinates
//!
//! - Iterate [`Event::field_keys`] once per event before evaluation.
//!   For JSON events this is a recursive walk that allocates one
//!   `String` per leaf path (dot-joined paths are not substrings of
//!   the source value); for flat formats like `KvEvent` the override
//!   returns `Cow::Borrowed`. The cost is acceptable in the opt-in
//!   diagnostic mode but is not free.
//! - Render the gap and broken-coverage signals by joining a
//!   [`FieldObserver::snapshot`] against a [`RuleFieldSet`].
