Pratik Mankawde 44d1994d6a refactor(nodestore): scrub site details, own the phase label strings, fix the test overload
Review follow-up on the freshen lock-hold fix:

- Drop host names, dates and one-site figures from the new comments,
  harness notes and docs; explain the mechanism in general terms.
- RotationPhase stores its stage and cache labels as owned std::string,
  not std::string_view: the ctor still takes views so the label
  constants pass without a copy, but a member view would dangle if a
  caller ever passed a temporary. freshenCache/recordFreshen take the
  cache name by std::string_view (read-only, call-scoped).
- The new DatabaseRotating test called fetchNodeObject through the
  derived type, whose private override hides the public base method;
  call it through Database& instead. This was the dev-box build break.
- freshenCache reports the exact fetched count when a health abort cuts
  it short, and stops labelling the per-partition hold 'getKeys'.
- Remove a [[maybe_unused]] that silenced no warning (the build sets
  -Wno-unused-parameter and disables misc-unused-parameters).

/**
* @file HistogramBuckets.h
* @brief Explicit histogram bucket edges for xrpld's OTel instruments.
*
* One header owns every ladder, so a reviewer sees all of them together and
* a test can assert their invariants.
*
* Why a ladder is worth this much care: when a quantile falls in the `+Inf`
* bucket, Prometheus returns the *second-highest* edge, not `+Inf`. A
* saturated histogram therefore reports a believable constant instead of an
* obvious error. The same trap exists at the bottom -- if nearly every
* sample lands in bucket 0, `histogram_quantile` interpolates inside it and
* invents a value. A ladder is correct only when its floor sits below the
* mass of the distribution and its ceiling above the tail.
*
* sample --> [ SDK lower_bound over edges ] --> per-bucket counter
* | |
* edges come from v
* THIS header OTLP export
* |
* v
* histogram_quantile() in Grafana
*
* Ladders are `std::array<double, N>` so they are constant-initialised and
* usable in a `static_assert`. The OTel SDK wants `std::vector<double>` in
* its aggregation config, so call toVector() at the registration site
* rather than storing vectors here.
*
* Example -- register a view with the millisecond ladder:
* @code
* auto config = std::make_shared<HistogramAggregationConfig>();
* config->boundaries_ = buckets::toVector(buckets::kMillisecondBuckets);
* @endcode
*
* Example -- the edge case that motivated a second ladder. An Event whose
* samples are sizes rather than durations must not borrow a latency ladder,
* or a quarter of its samples land in `+Inf` and every quantile reads back
* as the top edge:
* @code
* config->boundaries_ = buckets::toVector(buckets::kByteBuckets);
* @endcode
*
* @note Thread safety: every member is `constexpr` and immutable, so
* reading them from any thread is safe. toVector() allocates and is
* meant for start-up registration paths, never for a record path.
* @note Limitation: changing a ladder changes the exported series count and
* ends bucket comparability across the change -- existing series keep
* their old `le` values, so panels show a break at restart. Grafana
* Cloud bills per series, so re-measure the series count after any
* edit here.

/**
* Bucket edges, in milliseconds, for whole-millisecond `beast::insight`
* Events: job queue wait and run times, io latency, RPC time, pathfinding.
*
* **This list must contain every representable edge of the collector's
* spanmetrics ladder, and may extend above it.** Agreement over the shared
* range is deliberate: it lets a span-derived latency panel and a native
* histogram panel be read on the same scale. Drop an edge the collector
* carries and every quantile above it reads back as the top edge instead of
* failing. `check_bucket_parity.py` enforces the containment -- add a
* collector edge, add it here too.
*
* The sub-millisecond edges the collector carries (0.01 to 0.5 ms) are
* deliberately absent. `beast::insight::Event` rounds every duration up to
* a whole millisecond before it reaches the histogram, so those edges would
* collect nothing. Metrics that genuinely need finer resolution belong on
* the microsecond ladder, on the OTel-native path.
*
* The 60 s and 120 s edges exceed the collector's 30 s top on purpose,
* because jobs outlive spans: the updatepaths job type was measured
* averaging about 60 s, so a 30 s ceiling would censor its quantiles. All
* these Events share one ladder, so its ceiling has to cover the slowest
* member rather than the typical one.
*
* The 2, 3 and 4 s edges resolve second-scale work, which a single
* four-second-wide bucket can only interpolate across.
