Summary:

  • extract lodestar_ from the names, we can choose to do lodestar_native_ if we want to that way
  • add bindings for scrapeMetrics and init
  • add declarations to package.json

in a previous PR review @twoeths mentioned that it might be more accurate to rename this block_transition, but I suppose we should leave it like so so we can be the same as upstream consumer at this point

Based on earlier discussion, didn't we identified that metrics will stay in native layer. If we need metrics for behavior in JS which is using some binding code, we can still use the metrics in JS directly for it.

Our discussion help to have a metrics setup for future, but for current changes we can proceed with this PR.

There is a missing piece in zig metrics: no lazy collect hook, so these gauges have to be pull-refreshed

The Zig metrics library doesn't have an equivalent of TS's addCollect — i.e. a way to register a lazy collect callback that's evaluated at scrape time. On the TS side, derived/aggregate gauges (cache size, per-epoch counts, read stats, …) register a collect function that the registry invokes on demand when it's scraped, so their values are computed lazily — only when actually needed.

The Zig module has no such hook: a gauge just holds a value, and the exposition serializes whatever it currently holds. So there's no way to compute these lazily at collect time. Should we add this feature in the metrics lib or instead we fall back to a pull model — the cache has to eagerly scan its own state and write the values into the gauges right before write()/scrape?

@GrapeBaBa you're right, but I think it's ok for now, at least in the only place tht we replace with zig (/packages/state-transition) we don't have lazy collection happening (checked with rg \.addCollect in that package), so I think we can leave it for a followup, unless i'm missing something

Yes, but I need that in forkchoice and state cache, open an issue for that.
