feat(prometheus): fold state sets on the target page; forget series an endpoint drops (#5689)
#5689 "Prometheus target page: fold state sets, show epoch times, size bytes", step 1 of milestone 508 "Prometheus widget templates". - A state set (name ending in _state, a state label, every series 0 or 1; or the OpenMetrics form, the label named after the metric) reads as one row per thing it describes, naming the current state, the others on hover. fabledarchives_jobs{state} is a count and stays as it is. - label_pairs / state_label / fold_states in service.py, for the widget templates to reuse. - After a good scrape, series it no longer has lose their newest value (forget_gone): Archives' old build_info row read as current beside the new one. History stays; a failed scrape forgets nothing; alert rules keep their own last-sample time. - Epoch times and _bytes sizes were already read by shown_value / metric_value.

|

A value's unit is read from Prometheus naming: `_bytes` as bytes, `_seconds` as a span, `_timestamp_seconds` as a moment ("3h ago"), `_per_sec` as a rate.
|
||||
|
||||
A **state set** is one series per possible state, the current one 1 and the rest 0, such as `fabledarchives_backup_target_state{target, state}`. The target page shows it as one row per target (or job), naming the current state; the other states are listed on hover. A metric is read as a state set when its name ends in `_state` and every series has a `state` label reading 0 or 1. The OpenMetrics form, where the label is named after the metric (`foo{foo="a"} 1`), counts too. Each state is still stored as its own series, so an alert rule can watch one state.

|
||||
**Only what the endpoint reports now is current.** When a scrape succeeds, any series it no longer has loses its newest value. That happens when the endpoint stopped reporting it, for example an old `build_info` after an upgrade, or when a filter or the cap now leaves it out. Its history stays on the chart until retention removes it. A failed scrape leaves the newest values as they were.
|
||||
|
||||
Renaming a target moves its stored history to the new name. Deleting one removes its newest values; its history ages out with retention (Settings → Retention).
