Extend scorecard-backend so that MetricsProviders and Metrics can be optionally disabled by default

[christoph-jerolimov]

Extend the scorecard-backend and scorecard-commons packages so that MetricsProviders and Metrics can be disabled by default.

1. There should be an optional function isEnabled in a MetricsProvider: () => boolean and an optional field enabled: boolean in the Metric type. A missing function or field means it's enabled by default.
2. There should be an optional enabled attribute also in the Config (config.d.ts) for metric providers and metrics to re-enable disable-by-default metrics or to disable specific metric providers or metrics.
3. the backend should ignore disabled metric providers and metrics. Old data should stay in the database. When there are calls that return metrics just based on the database, they should check if the metric is enabled or not.

Triage Summary

Severity: Medium · Category: Feature

Design considerations

The codebase already has a top-level disabledMetrics config that globally disables metrics. The new enabled field introduces the inverse capability — disabled-by-default with opt-in. The effective enabled state should follow this resolution order:

1. Global disabledMetrics list → always wins (metric is disabled)
2. Config-level enabled on the specific metric or provider → overrides code default
3. Code-level enabled field on Metric or isEnabled() on MetricProvider → code default
4. If none set → enabled by default (backward compatible)

Key constraint from the issue: database rows for disabled metrics must be preserved. API endpoints that return metrics from the database need to check the effective enabled state and filter accordingly.

Packages affected

• scorecard-common — add enabled?: boolean to Metric type
• scorecard-node — add isEnabled?: () => boolean to MetricProvider interface
• scorecard-backend — update config.d.ts, MetricProvidersRegistry, scheduling, and API response filtering

Proposed test case

// Test three-tier enabled resolution
it('skips providers where isEnabled returns false', ...);
it('config enabled:true overrides provider isEnabled:false', ...);
it('skips individual metrics with enabled:false', ...);
it('config metric enabled:true overrides code enabled:false', ...);
it('config enabled:false disables an otherwise-enabled metric', ...);
it('global disabledMetrics takes precedence over config enabled:true', ...);
it('disabled metrics are excluded from API responses but data is preserved in DB', ...);
