Use PRId64 from inttypes.h instead of %ld for portable int64_t formatting. This fixes build failures on 32-bit ARM platforms where int64_t is 'long long int' rather than 'long int'. Co-Authored-By: Thiago Alves <thiagoralves@gmail.com>

Pull request overview
This PR removes periodic stats logging that occurred every 5 seconds and exposes timing statistics through the /api/status endpoint instead. The changes maintain backward compatibility by keeping the existing status field while adding a new timing_stats object.
Key changes:
- Removed the
print_stats_threadthat logged statistics every 5 seconds - Added thread-safe access to timing statistics using mutex locks for safe concurrent access
- Introduced a new
STATScommand in the unix socket interface that returns timing data as JSON

| def parse_timing_stats(stats_response: Optional[str]) -> Optional[dict]: |
There was a problem hiding this comment.
The function name parse_timing_stats could be more specific. Consider renaming to parse_stats_response to better reflect that it parses the STATS command response format, not just any timing stats.

The snprintf return value should be checked to ensure the formatted string wasn't truncated. If the return value >= buffer_size, the output was truncated and may result in malformed JSON being sent to clients.

The function returns false when snapshot is NULL, but this condition is never checked by the caller in format_timing_stats_response at line 126. Consider documenting that NULL should never be passed, or add a check in the caller.

Move timing stats from logs to status response
Summary
This PR removes the periodic stats printing thread that was polluting logs every 5 seconds and instead makes timing statistics available through the
/api/statusendpoint. The change maintains backward compatibility by keeping the existingstatusfield unchanged while adding a newtiming_statsobject.Key changes:
