# Per-stage pipeline metrics.
#
# End-to-end throughput says how fast the pipeline is; it does not say which
# stage is the reason. The external harness can't answer that either, and now
# cannot even approximate it: every in-flight file sits in `spool/` regardless of
# how far it has got, because stages route by enqueueing a reference rather than
# by moving bytes (src/worker.jl header). A file's stage is a property of the
# queue holding it, so only the pipeline itself can see it. There is no
# directory to poll.
#
# So each stage keeps four counters, all incremented in `worker_loop` (the one
# place every stage's work passes through) and read by `GET /stats`:
#
# completed / failed jobs finished, jobs quarantined → throughput
# bytes job bytes processed → per-stage MiB/s
# busy_ns summed handler wall time → service time
# blocked_ns of that, time parked on a full downstream queue
# in_flight handlers running right now → saturation
#
# Rates fall out of a pair of scrapes taken Δt apart:
#
# throughput = Δcompleted / Δt
# utilization = (Δbusy_ns - Δblocked_ns) / (Δt * workers) ~1.0 ⇒ bottleneck
#
# Utilization is the useful one. Throughput alone can't distinguish a stage that
# is saturated from one that is merely starved by the stage ahead of it: both
# show the same files/s. Utilization separates them: the saturated stage
# sits near 1.0 with its queue backing up, the starved stage sits near 0.
#
# `blocked_ns` is what keeps that true downstream. Stages 1 and 3 apply blocking
# backpressure: when the next queue is full the handler parks and retries rather
# than dropping the file (see ROUTE_ENQUEUE_RETRY_SECONDS). That parked time is
# inside the handler, so counting it as busy would show stage 1 pinned at 1.0
# whenever stage 2 is the real bottleneck, and every stage upstream of the jam would
# look like the jam. Subtracting it leaves utilization meaning "doing its own
# work", and the blocked share becomes its own signal: a stage blocked 90% of the
# time is naming its successor as the bottleneck.
#
# Everything here is monotonic since process start (or since `reset_metrics!`),
# in the Prometheus style: counters, never rates. Rates are the reader's job, so
# a scrape is stateless and two readers can't disturb each other.
#
# Cost is a handful of atomic adds per file, against handlers that spawn
# exiftool: unmeasurable in practice, and the counters are never read on the
# hot path.
# Stage identity lives here, in declaration order, so the report, the JSON and
# the worker wiring can't drift apart: adding stage 5 to the live path means
# adding it here and passing the new `StageStats` to its `worker_loop`.

enqueue_blocking!(queue, job, stats; retry_seconds) -> nothing
Hand `job` to a downstream queue, parking and retrying until it fits, and charge
the parked time to `stats.blocked_ns`.
This is the routing half of stages 1 and 3: a classified file is never dropped,
so a full downstream queue means waiting, not failing. Wrapping the retry loop
here, rather than repeating `while !enqueue! sleep end` at each call site, is
what makes that wait measurable at all, and keeps the three routing paths from
drifting into three different backoff behaviours.
`stats` is `nothing` for callers that are not a pipeline stage. Startup
recovery (`recover_dir!`) uses the same never-drop retry, but it runs outside any
handler, so it has no `busy_ns` to charge against. Billing its wait to a stage's
`blocked_ns` would make `/stats` utilization, `(Δbusy_ns - Δblocked_ns) / …`,
go *negative* after a long recovery. Skipping the charge keeps `blocked_ns`
meaning exactly what its docs say: time a handler spent parked on its successor.

stats_snapshot(cfg, queues, m = METRICS) -> NamedTuple
Read every counter into a plain value tree for `GET /stats`.
`queues` is a NamedTuple of `JobQueue`s keyed by `STAGE_KEYS`, supplying each
stage's live depth and capacity. The counters above are about work *done*, and
a stage's depth is what says whether work is piling up in front of it.
The read is not atomic across stages: counters keep moving while we walk them,
so a snapshot can show a job counted as complete by stage 1 but not yet arrived
at stage 2. Over a benchmark window that skew is a job or two and does not move
a rate; a consistent snapshot would mean stopping the pipeline to read it.
