GET /metrics — mounted at the server root, not under /api

Section titled “GET /metrics — mounted at the server root, not under /api”

This is GET https://your-instance/metrics, not /api/metrics** — the one endpoint in this whole reference that isn't under the /apiprefix every other page assumes. Deliberately unauthenticated (Prometheus's own scraping convention: firewall the port, don't invent a second auth scheme); not subject to the/apirate limiter; never appears in_logs`.
