+### Stale-Metric Guard
+
+The `tools/health_check.py` tool exports Prometheus metrics with a
+stale-metric guard. Before export, every metric is annotated with its age
+(`tot_health_check_metric_age_seconds`) and a stale flag
+(`tot_health_check_metric_stale`). A metric is considered stale when its
+timestamp is older than `STALE_METRIC_THRESHOLD_SECONDS` (default 300s,
+overridable via `--stale-threshold` or the
+`STALE_METRIC_THRESHOLD_SECONDS` environment variable). Metrics without a
+usable timestamp are reported as stale so outdated data is never silently
+exported.
+
+Use `python3 tools/health_check.py --prometheus` to emit the exposition
+format. The JSON output (`--json`) includes a `stale_metrics` array whose
+entries carry `service`, `environment`, `metric_name`, `timestamp`,
+`age_seconds`, and `stale` for each metric. Secret-looking values
+(passwords, tokens, API keys) are redacted from the exported diagnostic
+output.
