+## [0.23.0] - 2026-11-12
+
+### Added
+
+- `configdirector metrics create` takes `--filter <file>`, or `--filter -` for stdin, a JSON file holding the conditions on an event's details that the event must match to count for the metric, such as only the checkouts on the Team plan, in the shape `metrics get --json` prints a metric's `filter` in. It also takes `--value-field <pointer>`, the field of the event's details whose number value per context sums in place of the event's value, with `--kind value-per-context`. A metric keeps both for its whole life, and a run counts it from the moment it is attached to the experiment.
+- `configdirector metrics get`, `metrics update` and `metrics delete` take `--id <metric id>` in place of the event name, to name one of several metrics with the same event name.
+
+### Changed
+
+- `configdirector metrics get`, `metrics update` and `metrics delete` change nothing when several metrics have the event name you give: they list the metrics with their IDs and exit with 2. Earlier versions act on the first metric ConfigDirector lists for the event name, so once a project has several metrics on one event name, their `metrics update` and `metrics delete` can change or delete another metric than the one you mean. Upgrade every CLI that changes metrics before you create a second metric on an event name.
+- `configdirector metrics list`, `metrics get`, `metrics create`, `metrics update`, `metrics delete` and `configs runs` name a metric by its event name, then its filter's conditions, then its value field, as in `checkout_completed · /plan is one of [team] · value from /items`. The first column of `metrics list` is headed `METRIC`.
+- `configdirector configs runs` says since when a run counted a metric with a filter or a value field that was attached to the experiment while the run was going, under each of the metric's kinds, and that events reported before then are not in its numbers. For such a metric that was not attached while the run was open, it says the run did not count it and shows no numbers. `--json` prints the Admin API's response as received, as before.
+- `configdirector metrics delete --json` prints the deleted metric's `deletedMetricId` beside its `deletedEventName`.
+
+## [0.22.0] - 2026-11-11
+
+### Added
+
+- `configdirector configs runs` shows how long a run in progress needs, under each rollout's primary metric results once its variations can be compared. For a real lift of 2%, 5%, 10%, 20% and 50% on the primary metric, in its better direction, it gives the exposures so far against those needed before a variation with that lift has a good chance of reading likely better, and about how many days remain at the pace of new exposures since the time it names. A lift the rollout has enough exposures for says so, more than 365 days reads as more than a year, and when no new contexts were exposed since that time, it says the days cannot be estimated and gives the exposures alone. It also says that a row's lift is one a variation might really have, not the lift measured so far, and that whatever the estimate says, a run should cover at least one full week. The estimate doesn't show while the control's numbers give nothing to estimate from, as when none of its contexts has sent the event yet. `--json` prints the Admin API's response as received, as before.

-A metric is what an experiment measures: an event name the application sends with the SDK's `track` call, the numbers it reports and whether a higher or a lower number is better. A project has one metric per event name, and the commands name a metric by its event name. Attaching metrics to an experiment happens on its Settings tab in the dashboard, or through the Admin API or the MCP server.
+A metric is what an experiment measures: the events with one name the application sends with the SDK's `track` call, all of them or only those whose details match the metric's filter, the numbers it reports and whether a higher or a lower number is better. A project can have several metrics on one event name, told apart by their filter and value field, and the commands name a metric by its event name, then its filter's conditions, then its value field, as in `checkout_completed · /plan is one of [team] · value from /items`. Attaching metrics to an experiment happens on its Settings tab in the dashboard, or through the Admin API or the MCP server.
 
 - `metrics create` needs `--event-name`, exactly as the application passes it to `track`; `--kind`, repeatable: `conversion`, `count-per-context` or `value-per-context`; and `--direction`: `higher-is-better` or `lower-is-better`. `--description <text>` is optional. It prints `Created metric checkout_completed in web-app.`, then the metric as `metrics get` shows it.
-- `metrics update <event name>` changes what its options name: `--kind`, repeated, replaces the kinds, and `--direction` and `--description` replace theirs; `--description ""` removes the description. A metric keeps its event name. Removing a kind an experiment's primary metric decides on is refused, and the command exits with 2 listing those experiments.
-- `metrics delete <event name>` deletes the metric and detaches it from the experiments that use it, and prints `Deleted metric checkout_completed from web-app.`; `--json` prints `{ "deletedEventName": "checkout_completed" }` with the event name as given. While an experiment that uses the metric has a run in progress, it is not deleted: the command exits with 2 and lists each experiment with the environments of its runs.
+- `metrics create --filter <file>`, or `--filter -` for stdin, counts only the events whose details match every condition in the file, 1 to 5 of them, in the shape `metrics get --json` prints a metric's `filter` in:
+
+  ```json
+  [{ "field": "/plan", "targetType": "text", "operator": "is one of", "targetValues": ["team"] }]
+  ```
+
+  `field` is a JSON pointer into the details the application sends with the event. A `text` condition takes `is one of` or `is NOT one of`; a `number` condition takes `=`, `!=`, `>`, `>=`, `<` or `<=`, with its number as text, such as `"2"`; and a `boolean` condition takes `equals`, with `"true"` or `"false"`. A condition means what it means in a targeting rule, so a field an event lacks reads as empty text, and `is NOT one of` and `!=` count an event without it.
+
+- `metrics create --value-field <pointer>` sums the number at that field of the event's details for value per context, in place of the event's value, and needs `--kind value-per-context`.
+- A metric keeps its filter and value field for its whole life: for others, create another metric. A run counts a metric with a filter or a value field from the moment it is attached to the experiment.
+- `metrics update <event name>` changes what its options name: `--kind`, repeated, replaces the kinds, and `--direction` and `--description` replace theirs; `--description ""` removes the description. A metric keeps its event name, filter and value field. Removing a kind an experiment's primary metric decides on is refused, and the command exits with 2 listing those experiments.
+- `metrics delete <event name>` deletes the metric and detaches it from the experiments that use it, and prints `Deleted metric checkout_completed from web-app.`; `--json` prints `{ "deletedMetricId": "1c2d3e4f-5a6b-4c7d-8e9f-0a1b2c3d4e5f", "deletedEventName": "checkout_completed" }`. While an experiment that uses the metric has a run in progress, it is not deleted: the command exits with 2 and lists each experiment with the environments of its runs.
+
+`metrics update` and `metrics delete` take the event name while only one metric has it. When several metrics have it, they change nothing: they list the metrics with their IDs and exit with 2, and `--id <metric id>` names one of them:
+
+```txt
+Error: 2 metrics in web-app have the event name "checkout_completed". Name one with --id:

+```
+
