- State inspection with JSON preview
- Performance metrics (render time, memory usage)
- Cache hit/miss indicators
- Component metadata display
- Zero overhead in production

### 3.2 Activation

**Environment Variables**:
```bash
# Option 1: Development environment
APP_ENV=development

# Option 2: Explicit debug flag
LIVECOMPONENT_DEBUG=true
```

**Auto-Detection**:

DebugPanelRenderer::shouldRender()
// Returns true if APP_ENV=development OR LIVECOMPONENT_DEBUG=true
```

### 3.3 Debug Panel Display

**Visual Example**:
```
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│ 🔧 counter                                         ▼ │

if ($this->debugPanel !== null && DebugPanelRenderer::shouldRender()) {
    $renderTime = (microtime(true) - $startTime) * 1000;
    $html .= $this->renderDebugPanel($component, $renderTime, $cacheHit);
}
```

## 4. Metrics Collection

### 4.1 Cache Metrics Collector

**Location**: `src/Framework/LiveComponents/Cache/CacheMetricsCollector.php`

**Features**:
- Real-time metric collection
- Per-cache-type tracking (State, Slot, Template)
- Aggregate metrics across all caches
- Performance target validation
- Automatic performance grading (A-F)

**Metrics Tracked**:
```php
public function recordHit(CacheType $cacheType, float $lookupTimeMs): void
public function recordMiss(CacheType $cacheType, float $lookupTimeMs): void
public function recordInvalidation(CacheType $cacheType): void
public function updateSize(CacheType $cacheType, int $size): void
```

**Performance Assessment**:
```php
$assessment = $collector->assessPerformance();
// [
//   'state_cache' => [
//     'target' => '70.0%',
//     'actual' => '85.5%',
//     'meets_target' => true,
//     'grade' => 'A'
//   ],
//   ...
// ]
```

**Performance Targets**:
- State Cache: 70% hit rate (faster initialization)
- Slot Cache: 60% hit rate (faster resolution)
- Template Cache: 80% hit rate (faster rendering)

**Grading Scale**:
- A: ≥90% hit rate
- B: 80-89%
- C: 70-79%
- D: 60-69%
- F: <60%

### 4.2 Performance Warnings

**Automatic Detection**:
```php
if ($collector->hasPerformanceIssues()) {
    $warnings = $collector->getPerformanceWarnings();
    // [
    //   "State cache hit rate (65.2%) below target (70.0%)",
    //   "Template cache hit rate (75.3%) below target (80.0%)"
    // ]
}
```

**Integration**:
- Health check endpoint includes warnings
- Monitoring alerts can trigger on warnings
- Debug panel shows performance issues

---

## 5. Processor Performance Tracking

### 5.1 Performance Tracker

**Location**: `src/Framework/View/ProcessorPerformanceTracker.php`

**Features**:
- Optional profiling (disable in production)
- Minimal overhead (<0.1ms when enabled)
- Per-processor metrics
- Performance grading (A-F)
- Bottleneck identification

**Activation**:
```bash
# Enable via environment variable
ENABLE_TEMPLATE_PROFILING=true
```

**Metrics Tracked**:
```php
public function measure(string $processorClass, callable $execution): string
// Tracks:
// - Execution time (ms)
// - Memory usage (bytes)
// - Invocation count
// - Average/min/max times
```

**Performance Report**:
```php
$report = $tracker->generateReport();
// ProcessorPerformanceReport {
//   processors: [
//     'PlaceholderReplacer' => [
//       'total_time_ms' => 15.3,
//       'invocation_count' => 100,
//       'average_time_ms' => 0.153,
//       'grade' => 'A'
//     ],
//     ...
//   ],
//   bottlenecks: ['ForProcessor'],
//   overall_grade: 'B+'
// }
```

## 6. Usage Examples

### 6.1 Production Monitoring

**Prometheus/Grafana Integration**:
```bash
# Scrape metrics endpoint
curl -s https://api.example.com/api/livecomponents/metrics \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $ADMIN_TOKEN" \
  | jq '.cache.overall.hit_rate'
```

**Health Check Monitoring**:
```bash
# Simple uptime check
curl -f https://api.example.com/api/livecomponents/health || alert_team

# Detailed health with warnings
curl -s https://api.example.com/api/livecomponents/health | jq '.warnings[]'
```

**Alerting Rules**:
```yaml
# Prometheus alert rule
- alert: LiveComponentsCacheDegraded
  expr: livecomponents_cache_hit_rate < 0.7
  for: 5m
  annotations:
    summary: "LiveComponents cache performance degraded"
```

### 6.2 Development Debugging

**Component Inspection**:
```bash
# Inspect specific component instance
curl https://localhost/api/livecomponents/inspect/counter:demo \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $ADMIN_TOKEN" \
  | jq '.state.data'

# List all available components
curl https://localhost/api/livecomponents/instances \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $ADMIN_TOKEN" \
  | jq '.instances[].name'
```

**Debug Panel**:
```bash
# Enable debug panel
export APP_ENV=development

# Or via dedicated flag
export LIVECOMPONENT_DEBUG=true

# Debug panel auto-appears in rendered components
# Click panel header to collapse/expand
```

---

## 7. Security Considerations

### 7.1 Authentication

**Admin-Only Endpoints**:
- All monitoring endpoints require `admin` role
- Health check endpoint is public (by design)
- Component inspector admin-only
- Metrics reset admin-only + development-only

**Authentication Pattern**:
```php
#[Route('/api/livecomponents/metrics', method: Method::GET)]
#[Auth(roles: ['admin'])]
public function metrics(): JsonResult
```

### 7.2 Environment Restrictions

**Production Safety**:
- Debug panel disabled in production (APP_ENV check)
- Metrics reset blocked in production
- Performance tracking optional (minimal overhead)

**Development Features**:
- Debug panel auto-enabled in development
- Metrics reset available
- Component inspector with full details

---

## 8. Performance Impact

### 8.1 Production Overhead

**Metrics Collection**:
- **Memory**: ~5KB per component metadata
- **CPU**: <0.1ms per metric recording
- **Storage**: In-memory metrics (no persistence)

**Health Check Endpoint**:
- **Response Time**: <10ms
- **Memory**: Negligible
- **CPU**: Minimal

**Monitoring Endpoints**:
- **Response Time**: 50-100ms (includes metric aggregation)
- **Memory**: Temporary allocation for JSON serialization
- **CPU**: Metric calculation and formatting

### 8.2 Development Overhead

**Debug Panel**:
- **Render Time**: +1-2ms per component
- **Memory**: +10KB per component (metadata + panel HTML)
- **Zero Overhead**: Completely disabled in production

**Component Inspector**:
- **Query Time**: 10-50ms (metadata + state lookup)
- **Memory**: Temporary allocation
- **No Impact**: On-demand only

---

## 9. Integration with Performance Optimizations

### 9.1 Metrics Integration

**Cache Metrics**:
- ComponentMetadataCache reports to CacheMetricsCollector
- ComponentStateCache reports to CacheMetricsCollector
- SlotContentCache reports to CacheMetricsCollector
- TemplateFragmentCache reports to CacheMetricsCollector

**Performance Tracking**:
- ProcessorPerformanceTracker integrates with TemplateProcessor
- Optional profiling via environment variable
- Minimal overhead when disabled

### 9.2 Debug Integration

**Debug Panel Data Sources**:
- ComponentMetadataCache for metadata
- ComponentStateCache for state
- Render timing from ComponentRegistry
- Memory usage from PHP runtime

**Component Inspector**:
- ComponentMetadataCache for structure
- ComponentStateCache for runtime state
- ComponentRegistry for class mapping

---

## 10. Future Enhancements

- Metric-to-log correlation

---

## 11. Troubleshooting

### 11.1 Common Issues

**Metrics Not Updating**:
```bash
# Check if metrics collector is registered
curl https://localhost/api/livecomponents/metrics/cache | jq '.overall.total_requests'

# Reset metrics (development only)
curl -X POST https://localhost/api/livecomponents/metrics/reset \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $ADMIN_TOKEN"
```

**Debug Panel Not Showing**:
```bash
# Verify environment
echo $APP_ENV  # Should be "development"
echo $LIVECOMPONENT_DEBUG  # Should be "true"

# Check DebugPanelRenderer registration
# Should be auto-registered via DebugPanelInitializer
```

**Health Check Failing**:
```bash
# Check detailed health status
curl -s https://localhost/api/livecomponents/health | jq '.'

# Check warnings
curl -s https://localhost/api/livecomponents/health | jq '.warnings'
```

### 11.2 Performance Degradation

**Cache Hit Rate Low**:
- Check cache TTL configuration
- Verify cache key generation
- Review cache invalidation patterns
- Analyze workload patterns

**High Memory Usage**:
- Check component count (registry statistics)
- Review metadata cache size
- Analyze state cache retention
- Consider cache eviction policies
