Amazing, a few suggestions!
For benchmark and show the numbers WITHOUT setting this flag (append bench v2)

Benchmarking:
By default, there is no significant performance hit with the PR as st_synthesis is off by default. When enabled though, it has much higher allocs when trying to cache previous, and reference values for native histograms |

Looks good!
I have trillion nits, feel free to reject/challenge them - mostly readability.
It looks good otherwise, LGTM preliminarily.
Benchmarks looks good too, although tons of allocs for float hist (as expected). 2x more mem allocs.

Thanks! I have only one suggestion, plus docs suggestions, otherwise LGTM 💪🏽

Ideally we add OOO test and ensure we have some plans.
It would be epic if we could still ingest OOO, but without ST - if not, let's document what happens now and add issue for potential OOO allowance

I see this as a workaround until instrumentation libraries implement start time and start exposing it. Therefore I don't expect this to work for some people (that need the absolute value of counters as well) or at all pretty much.
I don't quite understand why we don't insert a zero value sample at the beginning. Not inserting the zero makes the staleness tracking more complicated and might actually drop samples that we scraped (as in process lived for a short time and crashed). To reintroduce the missing samples you'd have to detect such case in staleness tracking, but you could just have the zero sample. Plus easily keep exemplars.
I think we need to establish a baseline performance and there's plenty to improve I suspect (integer histograms direct handling, flatter data structure, optimize away double reset detection for native histograms - tsdb head does it again).
On the plus side we could finally have a simpler way to add type correct staleness markers - as opposed to the heuristics we do now.

##### [\`v3.12.0\`](https://github.com/prometheus/prometheus/releases/tag/v3.12.0) This release contains security fixes, new features (especially around PromQL and Service Discovery), performance improvements in TSDB, Start Timestamp improvements and numerous bug fixes. Thanks to all contributors! #### Key Highlights - **Security**: Two security vulnerabilities have been addressed: a denial of service in remote-write (snappy decompression limit) and a secret exposure leak in STACKIT service discovery. - **PromQL & Metadata**: Several features and bug fixes related to the experimental "start timestamps" support, including updates to `rate()`, `irate()`, `increase()`, and `resets()`. New experimental functions `start()`, `end()`, `range()`, and `step()` are introduced. - **TSDB Performance**: Optimizations in head chunk lookup (constant time) and mmap operations to reduce CPU usage. - **Service Discovery**: Added support for DigitalOcean Managed Databases and Outscale VM, along with improvements to AWS SD (IPv6 support for EC2, external ID support). - **UI**: Added a web interface for deleting time series and cleaning tombstones. #### Changelog - \[SECURITY] Remote: Reject snappy-compressed received requests via Remote Write whose declared decoded length exceeds the 32MB.

##### [\`v3.12.0\`](https://github.com/prometheus/prometheus/releases/tag/v3.12.0) This release contains security fixes, new features (especially around PromQL and Service Discovery), performance improvements in TSDB, Start Timestamp improvements and numerous bug fixes. Thanks to all contributors! #### Key Highlights - **Security**: Two security vulnerabilities have been addressed: a denial of service in remote-write (snappy decompression limit) and a secret exposure leak in STACKIT service discovery. - **PromQL & Metadata**: Several features and bug fixes related to the experimental "start timestamps" support, including updates to `rate()`, `irate()`, `increase()`, and `resets()`. New experimental functions `start()`, `end()`, `range()`, and `step()` are introduced. - **TSDB Performance**: Optimizations in head chunk lookup (constant time) and mmap operations to reduce CPU usage. - **Service Discovery**: Added support for DigitalOcean Managed Databases and Outscale VM, along with improvements to AWS SD (IPv6 support for EC2, external ID support). - **UI**: Added a web interface for deleting time series and cleaning tombstones. #### Changelog - \[SECURITY] Remote: Reject snappy-compressed received requests via Remote Write whose declared decoded length exceeds the 32MB.

##### [\`v3.12.0\`](https://github.com/prometheus/prometheus/releases/tag/v3.12.0) This release contains security fixes, new features (especially around PromQL and Service Discovery), performance improvements in TSDB, Start Timestamp improvements and numerous bug fixes. Thanks to all contributors! #### Key Highlights - **Security**: Two security vulnerabilities have been addressed: a denial of service in remote-write (snappy decompression limit) and a secret exposure leak in STACKIT service discovery. - **PromQL & Metadata**: Several features and bug fixes related to the experimental "start timestamps" support, including updates to `rate()`, `irate()`, `increase()`, and `resets()`. New experimental functions `start()`, `end()`, `range()`, and `step()` are introduced. - **TSDB Performance**: Optimizations in head chunk lookup (constant time) and mmap operations to reduce CPU usage. - **Service Discovery**: Added support for DigitalOcean Managed Databases and Outscale VM, along with improvements to AWS SD (IPv6 support for EC2, external ID support). - **UI**: Added a web interface for deleting time series and cleaning tombstones. #### Changelog - \[SECURITY] Remote: Reject snappy-compressed received requests via Remote Write whose declared decoded length exceeds the 32MB. Thanks to [@hibrian827](https://github.com/hibrian827) for reporting it. [#18642](prometheus/prometheus#18642) - \[SECURITY] STACKIT SD: Fix secrets being exposed in plaintext via `/-/config` endpoint. Thanks to [@August829](https://github.com/August829) and [@Phaxma](https://github.com/Phaxma) for reporting. GHSA-39j6-789q-qxvh [#18649](prometheus/prometheus#18649) - \[CHANGE] TSDB/Agent: Adds Start Timestamp field to all WAL Histogram samples in memory; used `st-storage` flag is enabled. [#18221](prometheus/prometheus#18221) - \[FEATURE] API: Add `/api/v1/status/self_metrics` endpoint returning the current state of the Prometheus server's own metrics about itself as JSON. [#18411](prometheus/prometheus#18411) - \[FEATURE] Discovery: Add DigitalOcean Managed Databases service discovery [#18287](prometheus/prometheus#18287) - \[FEATURE] Prometheus: Add support for the aix/ppc64 compilation target [#18321](prometheus/prometheus#18321) - \[FEATURE] Discovery: Add Outscale VM service discovery (`outscale_sd_configs`) for discovering scrape targets from the Outscale Cloud API. [#18139](prometheus/prometheus#18139) - \[FEATURE] PromQL: Emit a warning when `sort`, `sort_by_label` or `sort_by_label_desc` is used within range (matrix) queries, as these functions do not have effect in that context. [#18498](prometheus/prometheus#18498) - \[FEATURE] PromQL: Add `start()`, `end()`, `range()`, and `step()` experimental functions [#17877](prometheus/prometheus#17877) - \[FEATURE] PromQL: Update `resets()` function to consider start timestamp resets. Hidden behind `use-start-timestamps` feature flag. [#18627](prometheus/prometheus#18627) - \[FEATURE] Prometheus: Promote auto-reload-config as stable [#18620](prometheus/prometheus#18620) - \[FEATURE] TSDB/Agent: Add `CheckpointFromInMemorySeries` option to `agent.DB` that enables checkpoint based on in-memory series.

[#18390](prometheus/prometheus#18390) - \[FEATURE] PromQL: Use start timestamps for `rate()`, `irate()`, and `increase()` calculations, behind a feature flag `use-start-timestamps`. Doesn't work together with extended range selectors `anchored` and `smoothed`. [#18344](prometheus/prometheus#18344) - \[FEATURE] Scrape: Added a feature flag `st-synthesis` which synthesizes unknown STs for scraped cumulative metrics. Useful when Remote Writing 2.0 with delta or Otel-based backends. [#18279](prometheus/prometheus#18279) - \[FEATURE] promqltest: support `@st` annotation in `load` blocks to specify per-sample start timestamps.

[#18418](prometheus/prometheus#18418) - \[ENHANCEMENT]: AWS SD: Allows EC2 service discovery to discover IPv6 addresses to communicate with target endpoints. The private IPv4 address remains the default when both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses are present.
