+Regression for #30079.
+
+After 1.88.0 the Prometheus ``/metrics`` endpoint was mounted via
+``app.mount("/metrics", make_asgi_app())``. Starlette mounts emit a 307
+``Location: /metrics/`` when the request path equals the mount prefix
+without a trailing slash, and Prometheus / Grafana Alloy scrapers do not
+follow redirects -- so ``GET /metrics`` returns an empty body while the
+``up`` metric stays ``1``, hiding the regression.
+
+These tests assert that BOTH ``/metrics`` and ``/metrics/`` return 200
+directly with the Prometheus text-format content type, no 307 in between.
