* **Pass-Through Container Policies**: Policies like `xds_cluster_manager`, `weighted_target`, and `rls` **do not prepend any prefix or wrap the delay type**. They simply bubble up the child's `grpc.delay_type` (e.g., `"connecting"`) directly as-is.

Because only the priority policy contributes a prefix and it contributes exactly one (its active tier index), the resulting `grpc.delay_type` cardinality stays bounded; prefixes do not stack across nested pass-through containers. Implementations should keep the prefix a small bounded token (the tier index) so metric cardinality remains low; detailed per-container structure belongs in the `grpc.delay_reason` span event, not the metric label.

We are not gonna limit the nesting for priority policies right(as in px:py:pz.....:connecting ) ??
