Add an operations runbook for the metrics subsystem

[mikewheeleer]

Document operating metrics

Description

Operators lack a runbook for the metrics subsystem (config, failure modes, recovery). This issue adds one.

Requirements and context

• Repository scope: Talenttrust/Talenttrust-Backend only.
• Add docs/runbook-metrics.md covering configuration, common failures, alerts, and recovery steps for metrics.
• Cross-reference the relevant routes/services; keep it accurate.
• Read the subsystem code first.

Suggested execution

• Fork the repo and create a branch
• git checkout -b docs/metrics-11-runbook
• Implement changes
  • Write code in: the relevant module.
  • Write comprehensive tests in: cover the new behaviour and edge cases.
• Test and commit

Test and commit

• Run npm run lint, npm test, and npm run build.
• Cover edge cases: n/a — verify each step against source.
• Include the full test output in the PR description.

Example commit message

docs(metrics): add operations runbook

Guidelines

• Minimum 95 percent test coverage for impacted modules.
• Clear, reviewer-focused documentation.
• Timeframe: 96 hours.
