Description
## Background
Currently `StandaloneStarter` only adds a single `env` common tag to the global registry. In multi-cluster deployments, it would be nice to have more flexible tagging at different levels.
## Rough Idea
Introduce a `metricsTags` map at different levels, something like:
**Process-level** — global tags for all metrics in the process:
```yaml
metricsTags:
region: gz
deployment: canary
```
**Cluster-level** — tags scoped to a specific host-cluster:
```yaml
agent:
hostcluster:
metricsTags:
cluster: regional-a
cluster_scope: regional
```
**Subservice propagation** — cluster-level tags could also propagate to `base-kv`, `base-rpc`, etc.
## Thoughts on Precedence
For the same key: process-level < cluster-level < metric-local tags. But this is open for discussion.
## Possible Phases
This is quite a bit of scope, so it might make sense to phase it:
1. Process-level `metricsTags`
2. Cluster-level `metricsTags` under `agent.hostcluster`
3. Propagation to base-cluster subservices
Would love to hear thoughts on whether this direction makes sense, and if the naming / precedence / phasing look reasonable.
