Technically a breaking change, but I doubt anyone is relying on this behaviour. And I agree it's more useful/accurate this way. |

Description
nostr_events_total{kind="…"}was incremented iningesterProcessEventimmediately after parse/verify, before duplicate detection, write-policy plugin, and the writer pipeline. That counted every accepted parse toward kind totals, including events that never becameEventWriteStatus::Written(duplicates, plugin rejects, replace/delete outcomes, etc.).This PR:
PROM_INC_EVENT_KINDfromsrc/apps/relay/RelayIngester.cpp.PROM_INC_EVENT_KIND(std::to_string(packed.kind()))insrc/apps/relay/RelayWriter.cpponly whennewEvent.status == EventWriteStatus::Written, alongsidewrittenEventsTotal.inc().# HELP nostr_events_totaltext insrc/PrometheusMetrics.hto state that the counter reflects events persisted to the DB, not raw client ingress.Files:
src/apps/relay/RelayIngester.cpp,src/apps/relay/RelayWriter.cpp,src/PrometheusMetrics.hMotivation and context
Operators using Prometheus to reason about stored traffic and kind mix should not inflate totals with duplicates and write-path rejects. Counting at Written matches that intent.
