What this PR does / why we need it:

To eliminate the need of hand-written controller metrics docs, this PR adds a generator that renders docs/metrics.md from the metric definitions in internal/metrics/, wires it into the existing docs-regeneration flow, and publishes it on the site, following the pattern already used for the API and SDK references.

  • internal/metricsdocs parses internal/metrics/ with go/ast, cmd/metrics-docs-gen is a thin entrypoint. Standard library only, no new dependencies.
  • make generate-metrics-docs writes docs/metrics.md, and the target is added to dev/tools/fix-api-docs.
  • A new "Controller Metrics" page wraps the generated table in hand-written scrape instructions, availability conditions and label-value meanings.

Preview: https://deploy-preview-1444--agent-sandbox.netlify.app/docs/metrics/

Decisions being made:

  • Its own page, rather than extending the existing one. The existing /docs/sandbox/metrics/ page is a Python SDK OpenTelemetry tutorial, controller metrics are a different audience. The two now cross-link, and that page is otherwise untouched.
  • Extraction is fail-closed: it keys on a Prometheus-qualified constructor call, a bare reference to one taken as a value, or an Opts literal in any argument position and treats anything it cannot resolve (an unknown constructor, a promauto import, a build-constrained file) as an error rather than an omission, silently dropping a metric would reproduce the drift this removes. A test walks the whole module and asserts that no package outside internal/metrics imports the Prometheus client; the sandbox-router, nested modules and gitignored paths are excused.
  • No GitHub Actions job (though the issue asks for one). test-autogen-up-to-date already runs every dev/tools/fix-* script and fails on a non-empty git diff, so wiring into fix-api-docs inherits a merge-blocking gate, the TOC check the issue points at is in Actions only because it has no Prow owner. Residual gap: a PR touching only docs/metrics.md skips that presubmit, it's already true for the three existing generated docs, and fixable in kubernetes/test-infra.
  • AST rather than Describe() or promlinter. prometheus.Desc has only unexported fields and collectors cannot be enumerated at runtime, so a runtime generator needs a hand-maintained var list, the same drift. promlinter is fail-open, drops Opts{ConstLabels: ...} (what agent_sandbox_build_info uses), and never sees agent_sandboxes.
  • Generator in the root module, not dev/tools, so its tests run under make test-unit. dev/tools is a separate module that go list ./... excludes.

Note: The sandbox-router's separate registry is out of scope, because its metrics are constructor-built and need a different extraction strategy. Doc site versioning is likewise deferred, as the issue offers.

Which issue(s) this PR is related to:

Closes #1341

Release Note

Add a generated controller metrics reference at `docs/metrics.md`, published on the documentation site as "Controller Metrics". It lists every Prometheus metric family the controller exposes with its type, help text and label keys. Run `make generate-metrics-docs` after changing a metric in `internal/metrics/`.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Adds an AST-based Prometheus metric extractor and Markdown renderer. Adds CLI and Make targets for regeneration. Publishes generated controller metrics documentation in the development and Hugo sites.

Changes

Controller metrics documentation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Metric extraction and validation
internal/metricsdocs/extract.go, internal/metricsdocs/extract_test.go
The extractor resolves supported Prometheus declarations, validates names and labels, rejects unsupported constructs, and reports source positions. Tests cover supported declarations, rejection cases, aliases, build constraints, and cross-file descriptors.
Metric document generation
internal/metricsdocs/metricsdocs.go, internal/metricsdocs/render.go, internal/metricsdocs/*_test.go, docs/metrics.md
metricsdocs.Generate extracts, renders, and atomically writes metric documentation. Rendering escapes help text and combines variable and constant labels. Tests verify output shape, cleanup, failure handling, and controller metric metadata.
Generation tooling and site integration
cmd/metrics-docs-gen/main.go, Makefile, dev/tools/fix-api-docs, docs/development.md, site/hugo.yaml, site/content/docs/metrics/_index.md, site/content/docs/performance-assessment/_index.md, site/content/docs/sandbox/metrics/_index.md
The CLI and Make target regenerate docs/metrics.md. Development and site documentation describe the controller metrics endpoint and link to the generated reference.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to fae67

The generator may present conditionally compiled metrics as always available when legacy build constraints or platform-specific filenames are used, which could make the published reference inaccurate for some builds. This is a bounded documentation risk that is mergeable with explicit owner awareness and follow-up.

Pull request overview

This PR introduces a Go-based generator that extracts Prometheus metric family definitions from internal/metrics/ (via go/ast) and renders a checked-in controller metrics reference (docs/metrics.md), then publishes it on the Hugo site as a dedicated “Controller Metrics” page.

Changes:

  • Added internal/metricsdocs + cmd/metrics-docs-gen to extract and render a fail-closed metrics reference table from internal/metrics/.
  • Wired generation into make generate-metrics-docs and the existing docs-regeneration flow (dev/tools/fix-api-docs), and checked in the generated output at docs/metrics.md.
  • Published the generated reference on the docs site (site/content/docs/metrics/) and cross-linked it from relevant existing docs pages.

177-189: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🔵 Trivial | 💤 Low value

Consider normalizing the legacy constraint match.

The Go toolchain honors a legacy constraint line when the first field after // is +build. That includes //+build !race without a space. The current prefix check misses that spelling, so such a file would be documented as unconditional. gofmt normally rewrites it to // +build, so the practical exposure is small.

The none case is unreachable, and #1443 removed the same claim from the code comments.

verifySandboxCandidate rejects a candidate before adoption unless it has a pool owner and that owner matches the claim:

warmPoolName := getWarmPoolName(candidate)
if warmPoolName == "" || warmPoolName != claim.Spec.WarmPoolRef.Name {
	return fmt.Errorf("incorrect warm pool, expected %v", claim.Spec.WarmPoolRef.Name)
}

So the poolName := "none" fallback at sandboxclaim_controller.go:1133 is dead, and the warm and cold halves of this row describe the same value.

Suggested change
| `warmpool_name` | On a warm launch, the `SandboxWarmPool` owning the adopted Sandbox, or `none` when it has no owning pool. On a cold launch, the claim's `spec.warmPoolRef.name`. |
| `warmpool_name` | The claim's `spec.warmPoolRef.name`. On a warm launch the adopted Sandbox's owning `SandboxWarmPool` is guaranteed to match it, since `verifySandboxCandidate` rejects a candidate owned by any other pool. |

The whole-module walk also covers gitignored directories. .gitignore lists bin/, dist/, release_assets/, tmp/, temp/, .tmp/ and .build-kwok/, any of which can hold Go files. A scratch package under tmp/ fails the test on an otherwise clean checkout:

Messages: ../../tmp/scratch/m.go imports the Prometheus client; metrics belong in ../metrics so they reach the generated reference

Adding those to skipped would rebuild the hand-maintained list this test's own comment argues against. Asking git covers all of them and removes most of the skip list:

cmd := exec.Command("git", "ls-files", "--cached", "--others", "--exclude-standard", "-z", "--", "*.go")
cmd.Dir = repoRoot

--cached --others --exclude-standard is the predicate the test wants: tracked files, plus untracked ones git would not ignore. I checked both directions — it drops tmp/scratch/m.go and still returns a brand-new unstaged file under extensions/controllers/, so an uncommitted metric is still caught. .git, bin and tmp all fall out of skipped, leaving sandbox-router and the nested-module check, which are scope decisions rather than ignore rules.

Trade-off: it needs the git binary and a work tree, so go test from an extracted tarball would fail. If that matters more than the maintenance, hardcoding the ignored directories is the fallback.

Verified 3602f7b: constructor-value references are now rejected outright (covers the hoisted-options spelling), the guard test walks the whole module with gitignored paths excused via git itself, the escaper handles Markdown inline syntax, and the warmpool_name row matches the code. Rebased past #1443 with make generate-metrics-docs producing no diff, and unit tests pass locally.
