 Key listing is paginated by design. This avoids buffering an unbounded number of keys in memory and matches the underlying provider APIs. The Spin adapter materialises `Store::get_keys()` and pages client-side; a `max_list_keys` cap (configurable via `EDGEZERO__STORES__KV__<ID>__MAX_LIST_KEYS`, default `1000`) guards against runaway lists and yields `KvError::LimitExceeded` when exceeded.
 
+## Operation Timing / Observability
+
+`KvHandle` emits debug-level timing logs for backend KV operations across all adapters. Logs include safe metadata such as operation name, elapsed milliseconds, success/error status, key or prefix length, hit/miss, byte counts, TTL seconds, and list page counts.
+
+Timing logs are limited to derived metadata such as lengths, counts, booleans, and TTLs rather than raw keys, prefixes, cursors, or values. On Cloudflare Workers, `elapsed_ms` should be treated as approximate because the runtime uses a reduced-resolution monotonic clock. Typed helper timings measure only the backend call after validation/serialization and before JSON deserialization. `read_modify_write` performs separate read and write calls, so it emits separate operation logs.
