Contributions summary:Catherine implemented a feature to track connection success rates within the `smokescreen` proxy, enhancing the monitoring capabilities of the system. They introduced metrics emission from the `ConnSuccessRateTracker`, integrating with a metrics client to report connection success rates. Furthermore, the user refactored the codebase by creating a `TrackerInterface`, which enables the use of mock implementations for testing purposes. They also updated the configuration to use the new interface.
