"""
Minimal test for the Run Metrics Recorder feature.

This test verifies:
1. run_metrics['generation'] count equals num_generations (no extra generation)
2. time_elapsed is correctly recorded (no zero for first generation)
3. to_csv() works without error
4. plot_metrics() works without error
5. GA instance can directly call plot_metrics() (API hookup)
