-// ObservationSharer is an optional interface an ObservationProvider can

-// inputs and may therefore be shared across check targets.
-//
-// ShareKey returns a stable string derived purely from the inputs that affect
-// the result (e.g. the sorted IP set + ping count). Two collections with the
-// same ShareKey produce identical data; the host may serve one from the other.
-// Return "" to opt out (the host falls back to per-target caching).
-//
-// ShareKey MUST be a pure function of opts: no network, no I/O. The host calls
-// it before deciding whether to collect, possibly on the locally registered
-// provider even when actual collection is delegated to a remote endpoint.
-//
-// Detect support with a type assertion: _, ok := provider.(ObservationSharer)
