 Do not log credential values or full tag values by default.
 
+The gateway registers `GatewayMetrics` as the in-process metrics foundation.
+It emits .NET `Meter` instruments for collectors and keeps a
+`GatewayMetricsSnapshot` for dashboard projection. The snapshot exists because
+the dashboard needs current counters and queue depths without depending on a
+specific metrics exporter.
+
+HTTP request handling uses `UseGatewayRequestLoggingScope()` to attach common
+structured log fields when request metadata is present:
+
+- `SessionId`,
+- `ClientIdentity`,
+- `WorkerProcessId`,
+- `CorrelationId`,
+- `CommandMethod`.
+
+`GatewayLogRedactor` redacts API key secrets and command values before they are
+added to log state. Value logging remains opt-in and redacted by default so
+secured writes, authentication commands, and ordinary tag values do not leak
+through diagnostics.
