Merge Queue: Testing capacity metrics for batched queues
The Prometheus metrics endpoint adds a new mq_prs_testing gauge and clarifies mq_testing_slots_active, so you can track CI slot usage and PR throughput separately when batching is enabled.

If you use batching, several PRs can test together in a single CI run. Until now, the metrics endpoint reported only one testing gauge, which made it hard to tell how many CI slots were in use versus how many PRs were moving through the queue.
The endpoint now exposes two point-in-time gauges:
