This PR fixes critical documentation gaps and inaccuracies in Ray Serve autoscaling docs. Key additions include the previously undocumented
aggregation_function
parameter, 9 autoscaling environment variables, and a comprehensive "How autoscaling metrics work" section with diagrams explaining the 4-stage metrics pipeline. The PR also corrects therecord_autoscaling_stats()
timeout value (10s not 30s), clarifies the two-stage downscaling behavior, and fixes themax_replicas
default value explanation. Additionally, it adds deprecation notices for simple mode→aggregate mode and handle-based→replica-based metrics collection transitions.
