+## Metrics
+
+The image now exposes Prometheus-formatted metrics from inside the container.
+
+- listen port: `${CONTAINER_METRICS_PORT}` (default `9154`)
+- scrape path: `/metrics` (`/cgi-bin/metrics` also supported)
+
+Current metrics include:
+
+- `proton_bridge_service_up{service=...}`
+- `proton_bridge_service_restart_count{service=...}`
+- `proton_bridge_service_start_time_seconds{service=...}`
+- `proton_bridge_gpg_agent_up`
+- `proton_bridge_port_listening{listener=...,port=...}`
+- `proton_bridge_smtp_banner_probe_up`
+- `proton_bridge_imap_banner_probe_up`
+- `proton_bridge_pass_entry_count`
+
+Limitations:
+
+- Proton Bridge does not currently expose a stable machine API for per-account sync status in this image mode.
+- You can scrape transport/process readiness today; account-level sync state likely requires either upstream Bridge support or a dedicated log/CLI parser sidecar.
