   ### Search before asking
   
   - [x] I had searched in the 
[issues](https://github.com/apache/skywalking/issues?q=is%3Aissue) and found no 
similar feature requirement.
   
   
   ### Description
   
   
   ### Feature Request
   
   This issue tracks the implementation of two core components for the BanyanDB 
First Occurrence Data Collection (FODC) system: the **FODC Sidecar** and the 
**Discovery Proxy**. These components are essential for building an automated, 
state-aware forensics and diagnostics architecture.
   
   ### Background
   
   The BanyanDB FODC system is designed to capture the entire context of a 
crash or stall the moment it happens, enabling AI agents to resolve complex 
runtime issues without human reproduction. The architecture relies on a sidecar 
pattern for data collection and a discovery proxy for cluster-wide topology 
management and data access.
   
   ### 1. FODC Sidecar ("The Black Box")
   
   The FODC Sidecar runs alongside each BanyanDB instance and is responsible 
for monitoring, recording, and coordinating diagnostic data collection.
   
   #### Responsibilities:
   
   *   **Watchdog:** Polls metrics from the BanyanDB container and detects 
"death rattles" (e.g., signals, file-based triggers) that indicate an impending 
or current failure.
   *   **Flight Recorder:** Buffers metrics data in a circular buffer within 
its own memory space. This ensures data survives if the main BanyanDB process 
crashes.
   
   
   ### 2. Discovery Proxy
   
   The Discovery Proxy is a standalone service that provides a centralized view 
of the BanyanDB cluster and serves as a gateway to diagnostic data.
   
   #### Responsibilities:
   
   *   **Topology Discovery and Recording:** Continuously discovers and records 
the BanyanDB deployment topology. This includes node locations, shard 
assignments, and replication configurations. The topology should be versioned.
   *   **Watchdog Data Access Gateway:** Provides a unified API for accessing 
diagnostic data from all sidecars in the cluster. This abstracts the complexity 
of communicating with individual sidecars.
   
   
   ### Implementation Tasks
   
   *   [ ] Implement the sidecar container with watchdog functionality.
   *   [ ] Implement the proxy service.
   *   [ ] Conduct e2e tests to ensure the entire data collection and access 
pipeline works as expected.
   *   [ ] Update Helm chart to support sidecar and proxy deployment
