Processing metrics were an early addition that predated a clear understanding of what timing measurements matter in real-time pipelines. They were inconsistently implemented across services, often broken, and overlapped with the better-defined TTFB metric. - Remove ProcessingMetricsData class and all start/stop_processing_metrics methods from FrameProcessorMetrics, FrameProcessor, and SentryMetrics - Remove all processing metrics calls from 31 service files (LLM, TTS, STT, image, vision, realtime) - Clean up empty _start_metrics() stubs left in STT services - Remove processing metrics handling from RTVI, metrics log observer, pipeline task initial metrics, and strands agents framework - Update tests and examples Remaining metrics (TTFB, LLM token usage, TTS character usage, text aggregation time) are well-defined and consistently implemented.
