Worked on modernizing the MPC metrics initialization process in the Near-One/mpc repository by replacing the deprecated lazy_static macro with Rust’s std::sync::LazyLock. This change focused on improving startup performance and reducing runtime overhead while maintaining existing functionality. The approach emphasized code refactoring and performance optimization, adopting a more modern, thread-safe lazy initialization pattern that aligns with current Rust best practices. By standardizing the initialization process, the work laid the foundation for future enhancements in system programming. The update was implemented as a focused, low-risk feature, reflecting a careful and maintainable approach to evolving the codebase without introducing regressions.
