"""OpenTelemetry metrics bootstrap for Open WebUI.

This module initialises a MeterProvider that sends metrics to an OTLP
collector. The collector is responsible for exposing a Prometheus
`/metrics` endpoint – WebUI does **not** expose it directly.

Metrics collected:

* http.server.requests (counter)
* http.server.duration (histogram, milliseconds)

Attributes used: http.method, http.route, http.status_code

If you wish to add more attributes (e.g. user-agent) you can, but beware of
high-cardinality label sets.
