 - **Measured event-to-metric freshness** — an event entering the pipeline is reflected in `GET /v1/metrics/*` in **1.06 s p50 / 1.99 s p95** on production defaults (event-driven cache invalidation, no webhook registration), tunable to **238 ms p50**; a plain TTL cache on the same pipeline sits at ~15 s.
