Contributions summary:Alex primarily contributed to the Prometheus metrics collection within the NuCypher threshold access control system. Their work involved adding and modifying metrics related to availability scores and overall system health. Specifically, they added a new metric for the availability score, implemented logic to handle the availability score based on the `disable-availability-check` flag, and ensured correct indentation. These changes suggest a focus on system monitoring and observability.
