## Description

Watchlog RUM delivers Real User Monitoring for WordPress sites by mirroring the 
Watchlog Vue/React SDK event format. It tracks session lifecycle events, performance
metrics, network activity, resource usage, and optional Web Vitals so you can understand
how visitors experience your site in production.

 * Automatic `session_start`, `page_view`, and `session_end` events.
 * Navigation/paint timings plus optional Web Vitals (CLS, LCP, INP, TTFB, FID).
 * Instrumentation for `fetch`, `XMLHttpRequest`, long tasks, resources, and user
   interactions.
 * Breadcrumb and error capture hooks to enrich every event.
 * WordPress-aware route normalization and session persistence to align data with
   SPA SDKs.
