Walkthrough

The change adds documentation for the Fluent Typed Scripting (FTS) processor and links to it from processor listings and the build plugin table. The new page describes configuration, callback behavior, typed values, signal-specific properties and helpers, examples, and runtime constraints.

Clarify the limit and guard the metric example before merging. Readers following the example could otherwise lose metric output when a data point has no attributes.

Describe output_limit consistently for each signal type.

This table describes the limit as the size of one processed batch. Line 93 states that metrics and traces apply the limit per item. Specify the signal-specific behavior in this description.

Guard the optional attributes lookup in the metric example.

If a data point has no attributes key, get("attributes") returns nil, and :remove("request.id") on nil raises a Lua error. The example does not check for this case. Readers who copy the example can get that error on data points without attributes.
