Track Stellar RPC response-time SLAs and surface breaches

[Emmyt24]

Description

Measure RPC call latency and expose SLA-oriented metrics so degradation in the upstream RPC is visible and alertable.

Requirements and context

Handle network failures gracefully with retries/backoff where appropriate, avoid leaking credentials, and add integration tests using mocked external services. Update configuration docs and keep coverage at target.

Suggested execution

Create a feature branch using the convention:

feat/integration-rpc-sla-monitoring

Implement changes

• Measure latency for outbound RPC calls.
• Expose p50/p95/p99 latency metrics labelled by endpoint.
• Emit an alert signal when latency exceeds the SLA.
• Add tests asserting metrics are recorded.

Test and commit

Run the test suite. Document the SLA thresholds in the PR.

Example commit message

feat(integration): add RPC response-time SLA monitoring
