feat(monitoring): preserve connection visibility over gRPC

[yordis]

• Preserves operational connection visibility after the legacy transport is retired.

[cursor]

PR Summary

Medium Risk
Breaking gRPC monitoring API rename and removed TCP stats message path affect external clients; new connection middleware wraps all Kestrel traffic on node listeners.

Overview
Replaces legacy TCP monitoring with shared HTTP/gRPC connection visibility after retiring the old transport path. The monitoring gRPC API renames TcpStats → ConnectionStats, widens pending-byte fields to int64, and adds protocol, application, is_tls, and connected_at instead of external/SSL flags.

NodeConnectionTracker hooks Kestrel connections (node, replication, and UNIX socket listeners), counts bytes via pipeline wrappers, and enriches rows from request middleware (connection-name, gRPC vs HTTP). The observability UI and queue-dashboard.js now show shared-endpoint connections (client-side byte rates) plus a gRPC replication table fed from replication stats; the dashboard no longer polls the monitoring queue for TCP stats.

QueueDashboardService snapshots live node connections from the tracker and loads replication stats in parallel with queue stats, surfacing replication errors without hiding queues. Core drops GetFreshTcpConnectionStats messages; Monitoring.ConnectionStats reads IConnectionStatsProvider (registered from ClusterNode).

Walkthrough

The change replaces TCP observability with shared network and replication connection statistics. It adds a gRPC connection-stats contract, integrates NodeConnectionTracker, updates dashboard data and rendering, removes TCP monitoring messages, and adds regression coverage.

Changes

Connection observability

Layer / File(s)	Summary
gRPC connection statistics contract src/Protos/Grpc/monitoring.proto, src/EventStore.Core/Services/Transport/Grpc/..., src/EventStore.Core/Messages/MonitoringMessage.cs, src/EventStore.Core/ClusterVNodeStartup.cs, src/EventStore.Core.Tests/Services/Transport/Grpc/MonitoringTests/...	The monitoring RPC now returns current connection snapshots through IConnectionStatsProvider. The TCP RPC, messages, and tests are removed.
Node connection tracking integration src/EventStore.ClusterNode/Components/Services/NodeConnectionTracker.cs, src/EventStore.ClusterNode/Program.cs	NodeConnectionTracker implements the provider contract and is registered as a singleton service.
Dashboard service data flow src/EventStore.ClusterNode/Components/Services/QueueDashboardService.cs, src/EventStore.ClusterNode/metricsconfig.json	The dashboard service reads replication statistics and node connection snapshots. TCP payloads and TCP message labels are removed.
Network and replication dashboard UI src/EventStore.ClusterNode/Components/Pages/Observability.razor, src/EventStore.ClusterNode/ui-assets/js/queue-dashboard.js	The UI renders network and replication tables with metadata, byte counters, pending bytes, queue sizes, status, and pagination.
Connection and endpoint validation src/EventStore.Core.Tests/Regression/GrpcOnlySurfaceParityTests.cs	Regression tests cover payload fields, active connection tracking, endpoint isolation, wildcard bindings, and connection cleanup.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to e0761

A replication monitoring failure can hide all dashboard observability, including healthy queue and network data. This should be corrected before merge.
