Track sampling decisions with Sentry.metrics.count to provide visibility into traffic patterns hitting the docs site. Each sampling decision now emits a docs.trace.sampled metric with attributes for traffic_type (ai_agent, bot, user, unknown), the specific bot/agent matched, and the sample rate applied. This enables querying in Sentry to understand: - Volume breakdown by traffic type - Which bots are hitting the site most frequently - Which AI agents are consuming docs content - How much traffic is being filtered vs sampled Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>

Add Sentry metrics to the tracesSampler to provide visibility into traffic
patterns hitting the docs site.
Each sampling decision now emits a
docs.trace.sampledmetric with attributes:traffic_type: ai_agent, bot, user, or unknownagent_match/bot_match: the specific pattern that matched (e.g., "claudebot", "googlebot")sample_rate: the sampling rate applied (0, 0.3, or 1)This builds on #16213 which added the tracesSampler for bot filtering. With
these metrics, we can now query in Sentry to understand volume breakdown by
traffic type, which bots hit the site most, and which AI agents are consuming
docs content.
