//! Non-cumulative gauge histogram for Grafana heatmap visualization.
//!
//! Unlike Prometheus Histogram which uses cumulative `le` buckets, this emits
//! non-cumulative bucket counts with `(gt, le]` ranges suitable for heatmaps.
//!
//! # Design: True Zero-Allocation Hot Path
//!
//! The key insight is that `gauge!` returns a `Gauge` handle that can be stored.
//! By pre-registering all gauge handles at startup, the hot path becomes just
//! N+1 atomic `gauge.set()` calls with zero allocations.
//!
//! # Performance Characteristics
//!
//! Setup (once per label combination):
//! - `register()`: N+1 gauge registrations, N+1 String allocations for gt/le
//!
//! Hot path (`set_counts()`):
//! - **Zero heap allocations**
//! - **Zero key lookups** (handles are pre-registered)
//! - N+1 atomic `gauge.set()` calls
//!
//! # Example
//!
//! ```ignore
//! use crate::observability::gauge_histogram::{BucketBounds, GaugeHistogramVec};
//!
//! // Define at module level
//! static BOUNDS: BucketBounds<10> = BucketBounds::new([1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 10, 20, 50, 100, 200]);
//! static HISTOGRAM: GaugeHistogramVec<10> = GaugeHistogramVec::new("smg_request_dist", &BOUNDS);
//!
//! // At startup: register for each label combination
//! let handle = HISTOGRAM.register(&[("router", "round_robin"), ("model", "llama")]);
//!
//! // Pre-allocate counts buffer
//! let mut counts = vec![0usize; BOUNDS.bucket_count()];
//!
//! // Hot path: TRUE zero allocation
//! fn update(handle: &GaugeHistogramHandle, counts: &mut [usize], observations: &[u64]) {
//! BOUNDS.compute_counts_into(counts, observations);
//! handle.set_counts(counts); // Just N+1 atomic gauge.set() calls!
//! }
//! ```
