- Dev Containers let you work on Ghost in a consistent, isolated
environment with all the necessary development dependencies
pre-installed. VSCode (or Cursor) can effectively run _inside_ the
container, providing a local quality development environment while
working in a well-defined, isolated environment.
- For now the default setup only works with "Clone repository in
Container Volume" or "Clone PR in Container Volume" — this allows for a
super quick and simple setup. We can also introduce another
configuration to allow opening an existing local checkout in a Dev
Container, but that's not quite ready yet.
- This PR also added the `yarn clean:hard` command which: deletes all
node_modules, cleans the yarn cache, and cleans the NX cache. This will
be necessary for opening a local checkout in a Dev Container.

no issue
- bumped gscan version to provide `skipChecks` flag to `check` function
- added `optimization:themes:skipBootChecks` config flag defaulting to `false` to maintain current behaviour
- updated theme service initialization to use `skipChecks: true` when the config flag is set
- we only want to skip the checks during boot in specific cases to improve performance, they are still useful for general development and any production use-cases where themes get edited directly on the server
- updated our theme validate module to accept and pass through `skipChecks` option
- switched the `isZip` positional argument of `validate.check()` to an options object property to make usage cleaner
- we don't need to require the entire package and this costs 5% of our
boot time
- this commit bumps NQL to the latest version, which fixes the requires
to help with treeshaking and loading less code

# Summary
This commit includes two main components: a prometheus client class to
collect metrics from Ghost, and a standalone metrics server that exposes
a /metrics endpoint at a separate port (9416 by default) from the main
Ghost app.
The prometheus client is a very thin wrapper around
[prom-client](https://github.com/siimon/prom-client). We could use
prom-client directly, but this approach should make it easier to switch
to a different prometheus client package (or make our own) if we ever
need to down the line.
The list of default metrics this enables is specified in an e2e test
[here](https://github.com/TryGhost/Ghost/pull/21192/files#diff-ebc52236be2cd14b40be89220ae961f48d3f837693f7d1da76db292348915941R66-R92).
This also gives us the ability to create and collect custom metrics,
although none are included in this commit yet.
# Configuration
The prometheus client and the metrics server are both disabled by
default, but can be enabled by setting the metrics_server:enabled flag
to true.
You can also define a custom host and port using `metrics_server:host`
and `metrics_server:port`.
## Why not expose the /metrics endpoint in one of the existing express
apps?
The standalone express app exists for two main reasons:
1. We don't want these metrics to be public, and the easiest way to
accomplish that is to expose the /metrics endpoint at a different port
that won't be exposed to the internet.
2. Creating a standalone express instance decouples the metrics endpoint
from the Ghost server, so if Ghost is not responding for whatever
reason, we should still be able to scrape metrics to understand what's
going on internally.
## Impact on Boot & Shut down time
The prometheus client is initialized early in the boot process so we can
collect metrics during the boot sequence. Testing locally has shown that
this increases boot time by ~20ms. The metrics server which exposes the
/metrics endpoint is not initialized until after the background
services, and it is not awaited, to avoid impacting boot time. None of
this code, including the requires, will run if the
metrics_server:enabled flag is set to false (or not set).
Shutting down the metrics server is added as a cleanup task for the main
Ghost server instance, and is setup to shut down with 0 grace period to
avoid impacting shut down time.
no issue
- This commit removes all OpenTelemetry related code and dependencies
from Ghost.
- The initial implementation was done as a POC but it raised some
performance concerns with boot time, so we never actually enabled it
widely.
- We can revisit this in the future, but in the meantime it's just
adding unnecessary dependencies and bloating the codebase.
