notification-service: Metrics module is defined and tested in isolation but never instantiated in the running service

Area

Notification Service / Observability

Complexity

Easy

File(s)

notification-service/src/index.ts (main, lines 38-93); notification-service/src/metrics.ts; notification-service/src/api.ts (createApi, lines 88-92)

Problem

Metrics.recordEventProcessed()/recordNotificationSent() are only ever called from metrics.test.ts and api.test.ts. In index.ts's real main(), no Metrics instance is created, createApi(store) is called with no options.metrics, and neither handleScoreChanged nor Notifier.notifyInvestors records anything. Result: in production, GET /metrics 404s, and even if wired, the counters would never move — there is zero runtime observability into event/notification volume.

Scope

In:

• Instantiate Metrics in main(), pass it to createApi, call recordEventProcessed in the listener callback and recordNotificationSent on each successful delivery in notifyInvestors.

Out:

• A full metrics backend (Prometheus/StatsD export) — the in-memory snapshot model can stay.

Acceptance Criteria

• GET /metrics returns non-zero eventsProcessed/notificationsSent after real events flow through main()'s wiring
• At minimum the happy-path counters are actually live in production, not just in tests
