fix: Add data transformer to resolve metrics dashboard template mismatch

Root cause: Template expects flat structure (metrics.database.count) but monitoring module provides nested structure (metrics.by_type.database.count) with different field names (avg_duration_ms vs avg). Solution: Route Adapter Pattern - transformer function maps data structure at presentation layer. Changes: - Add transform_metrics_for_template() function to admin.py - Update metrics_dashboard() route to use transformer - Provide safe defaults for missing/empty metrics data - Handle all operation types: database, http, render Testing: All 32 admin route tests passing Documentation: - Updated implementation report with actual fix details - Created consolidated hotfix design documentation - Architectural review by architect (approved with minor concerns) Technical debt: Adapter layer should be replaced with proper data contracts in v1.2.0 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>

 ## Problem Statement

-Production deployment of v1.1.1-rc.1 caused a 500 error at `/admin/dashboard` endpoint. User reported the issue from production at https://starpunk.thesatelliteoflove.com/admin/dashboard.
+Production deployment of v1.1.1-rc.1 caused a 500 error at `/admin/metrics-dashboard` endpoint. User reported the issue from production container logs showing:

-### Root Cause
-1. **Route Conflict**: Two Flask routes mapped to paths that both resolve to `/admin/dashboard`:
-   - Original notes dashboard at `/admin/` (function: `dashboard()`)
-   - New metrics dashboard at `/admin/dashboard` (function: `metrics_dashboard()`)
+```
+jinja2.exceptions.UndefinedError: 'dict object' has no attribute 'database'
+At: /app/templates/admin/metrics_dashboard.html line 163
+```

-2. **Missing Module**: The metrics dashboard imports `starpunk.monitoring` module which doesn't exist in production, causing ImportError and 500 response.
+### Root Cause Analysis (Updated)
+
+**Initial Hypothesis**: Route conflict between `/admin/` and `/admin/dashboard` routes.
+**Status**: Partially correct - route conflict was fixed in initial attempt.
+
+**Actual Root Cause**: Template/Data Structure Mismatch
+1. **Template Expects** (line 163 of `metrics_dashboard.html`):
+   ```jinja2
+   {{ metrics.database.count|default(0) }}
+   {{ metrics.database.avg|default(0) }}
+   {{ metrics.database.min|default(0) }}
+   {{ metrics.database.max|default(0) }}
+   ```
+
+2. **get_metrics_stats() Returns**:
+   ```python
+   {
+       "total_count": 150,
+       "max_size": 1000,
+       "process_id": 12345,
+       "by_type": {
+           "database": {
+               "count": 50,
+               "avg_duration_ms": 12.5,
+               "min_duration_ms": 2.0,
+               "max_duration_ms": 45.0
+           }
+       }
+   }
+   ```
+
+3. **The Mismatch**: Template tries to access `metrics.database.count` but the data structure provides `metrics.by_type.database.count` with different field names (`avg_duration_ms` vs `avg`).

-**None.** Implementation followed architect's design exactly as specified in:
