## Summary of Changes Hello @stankiewicz, I'm Gemini Code Assist[^1]! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed! This pull request lays the groundwork for integrating external metadata support within the Apache Beam Dataflow streaming runner. The changes introduce an experiment flag to control the activation of this feature, establish the initial serialization and deserialization mechanisms for metadata protos in the Windmill backend, and strategically place placeholders for the subsequent full implementation of metadata propagation throughout the WindowedValue lifecycle. This foundational work is crucial for enabling more sophisticated data processing and observability features in streaming pipelines by allowing additional, user-defined metadata to be carried alongside data elements. ### Highlights * **External Metadata Experiment Flag**: Introduced an experiment flag (element_metadata_supported) to enable external metadata support for the Dataflow streaming runner, allowing controlled rollout of this new feature. * **Windmill Sink/Reader Metadata Handling**: Implemented foundational serialization of empty metadata protos to the Windmill sink and deserialization from Windmill readers, establishing the basic mechanism for metadata transfer. * **Metadata Propagation Placeholders**: Added numerous 'TODO' comments across various components (e.g., CDC, drain flag, trace context) to mark future integration points for propagating metadata objects to the WindowedValue structure. * **PaneInfo Extension**: Extended the PaneInfo class to include a flag indicating whether it contains element metadata, and updated its coder to handle this new information during serialization and deserialization. <details> <summary><b>Using Gemini Code Assist</b></summary> <br> The full guide for Gemini Code Assist can be found on our [documentation page](https://developers.google.com/gemini-code-assist/docs/review-github-code), here are some quick tips. <b>Invoking Gemini</b> You can request assistance from Gemini at any point by creating a comment using either `/gemini <command>` or `@gemini-code-assist <command>`.
