Analytics: don't count web UI traffic in runtime counters - #705
As noted in #704, we count web assets as bytes served by the proxy, which looks kinda confusing.
Details (written by Claude Opus 5.5)
The Runtime section of /ui/analytics counts the UI's own traffic. On an otherwise quiet proxy, a few dozen visits to the analytics page added ~20 MB to Served. Each page load pulls ~780 KB of vendored scripts (see #704), and all of it is recorded under ecosystem other. In flight also includes the analytics request that is rendering the page.
LoggerMiddleware records proxy_requests_total, proxy_request_duration_seconds, proxy_response_bytes_total, the per-client counters and the per-source table for every path except /metrics. The active-requests middleware in server.go uses the same /metrics exception.
Fix
New countsAsTraffic(path), which excludes /metrics, /ui and /ui/.... Both places that used to check /metrics now use it.
UI requests still go to the request log and the access log. Only the runtime counters skip them.
I didn't exclude /health here. In Kubernetes, probes add to Requests and pull the mean latency down, but their bodies are tiny. If you'd like /health excluded too, it's one more term in the same function.
Testing
TestLoggerMiddlewareSkipsMetricsEndpointMetrics → TestLoggerMiddlewareSkipsUncountedPaths, now a table over /metrics, /ui, /ui/analytics and /ui/static/vendor/tailwind.js. For each path it checks that neither the request counter nor the response bytes counter moves.
New TestCountsAsTraffic, which includes /uikit/x to make sure only the /ui segment is excluded and other paths starting with ui are not.
go test ./internal/server passes.
Summary by CodeRabbit
Bug Fixes
Traffic metrics no longer include requests to the metrics endpoint or UI pages and assets. This keeps request counts, response-byte totals, source traffic, and active-request figures focused on other traffic.
Other paths continue to be counted, including paths that merely begin with similar names, such as /uikit/ and /npm/.
The runtime counters on the analytics page (requests, in flight, latency,
status classes, served bytes, per-client and per-source breakdowns) skipped
only /metrics. Every /ui page load, with ~800 KB of vendored scripts, was
counted as "other" traffic, so viewing the analytics page inflated the
numbers it reports. Skip /ui the same way as /metrics; requests are still
logged and written to the access log.

The request middleware now uses countsAsTraffic to exclude /metrics, /ui, and /ui/ subpaths from traffic tracking. Tests check request-count and response-byte metrics for excluded paths and verify the predicate’s results for included paths.

Summary
Define and apply traffic filtering internal/server/middleware.go, internal/server/server.go, internal/server/middleware_test.go
countsAsTraffic excludes /metrics, /ui, and /ui/ subpaths. Middleware applies this predicate to request, response-byte, source, and active-request tracking. Tests check excluded and included paths.
UI page loads and metrics requests no longer inflate the runtime counters, and request logs are unchanged. No merge-blocking risk was identified.
