Description

Easy one: we have a list endpoint, but we should let someone ask for the schema for a single metric.

Research direction

Start in nexus/src/external_api/http_entrypoints.rs at lines 6283-6308 and inspect the existing timeseries schema list endpoint. Determine the request and response shape needed for retrieving one metric's schema, then verify that the new endpoint returns the requested schema and handles an unknown metric consistently with existing API behavior.
