Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
When using the repo as a library, as in the cli, there's no good way (that I could find) to extract the bound metrics port if you pass in 0 in the config. This makes it hard to figure out (log, in my case) what port was actually chosen. I had to find a free port first to work around that, even though the code would do that for me.

Describe the solution you'd like
Have some easy way to fetch the chosen metrics port after instantiating / starting a dev server

Research direction

The issue names no file, test, or entry point. Start by tracing the metrics configuration and dev-server startup path, then identify how the selected port can be exposed to library callers. Done means callers can retrieve the actual bound port after starting with port 0.
