⚠️ Potential issue | 🟡 Minor

Indent the code block so it stays inside the list item.
Right now the fenced block and the explanatory line render outside the “No local metrics” bullet. Indent them to keep list formatting consistent.

💡 Proposed fix
- **No local metrics**:
-
-```bash copy
-curl http://localhost:9153/metrics
-```
-
-— it should return Prometheus-formatted data.
