fix(core): Ensure metrics past MAX_METRIC_BUFFER_SIZE are not swallowed - #18212

Bug: A metric that triggers a buffer flush is lost because the flush operation clears the buffer after the new metric has been added but before it's processed.
Severity: CRITICAL | Confidence: 1.00
🔍 Detailed Analysis
The _INTERNAL_captureSerializedMetric function incorrectly handles metrics when the buffer reaches MAX_METRIC_BUFFER_SIZE. When a new metric arrives, it's added to the buffer via bufferMap.set(client, [...metricBuffer, serializedMetric]). However, the subsequent flush condition check if (metricBuffer.length >= MAX_METRIC_BUFFER_SIZE) and the flush operation _INTERNAL_flushMetricsBuffer(client, metricBuffer) use the oldmetricBuffer reference (before the new metric was added). This leads to the newly added metric being present in the map when _INTERNAL_flushMetricsBuffer is called, but then being lost when _getBufferMap().set(client, []) clears the entire buffer, including the new metric. This results in data loss for metrics that trigger a buffer flush.
💡 Suggested Fix
Modify _INTERNAL_captureSerializedMetric to ensure that the _INTERNAL_flushMetricsBuffer function is called with the updated buffer, or that the new metric is handled correctly after the old buffer is flushed and cleared, perhaps by re-adding it to a newly cleared buffer.

Potential issue: The `_INTERNAL_captureSerializedMetric` function incorrectly handles
metrics when the buffer reaches `MAX_METRIC_BUFFER_SIZE`. When a new metric arrives,
it's added to the buffer via `bufferMap.set(client, [...metricBuffer,
serializedMetric])`. However, the subsequent flush condition check `if
(metricBuffer.length >= MAX_METRIC_BUFFER_SIZE)` and the flush operation
`_INTERNAL_flushMetricsBuffer(client, metricBuffer)` use the *old* `metricBuffer`
reference (before the new metric was added). This leads to the newly added metric being
present in the map when `_INTERNAL_flushMetricsBuffer` is called, but then being lost
when `_getBufferMap().set(client, [])` clears the entire buffer, including the new
metric. This results in data loss for metrics that trigger a buffer flush.

Looks like we swallowed the metric that triggers a flush when MAX_METRIC_BUFFER_SIZE is surpassed.
