 - Move metrics server configuration to [the policy file](./admin/policies.mdx#metrics-server).

+- Fix `path_regex` and CEL `path` rules not matching when using Traefik `forwardAuth` middleware. Anubis now checks `X-Forwarded-Uri` (Traefik) in addition to `X-Original-URI` (nginx) when resolving the request path in subrequest mode ([#1628](https://github.com/TecharoHQ/anubis/issues/1628)).
