PR-OTEL-14 — Python OTel SDK + per-step/per-flow spans + trace_id in report.json
Header

TL;DR
IMPLEMENT — Python OTel SDK bootstrap (opt-in,
QA_RIG_OTEL_ENABLED=1) + per-flowqa_rig.flowspan + per-stepqa_rig.stepspans +qa_rig_flow_execution_secondshistogram +trace_idfield inFlowResult/report.json. 126 tests, all passing.Summary
Implements PR-OTEL-14 §3 of the OTEL instrumentation plan. The plan originally referenced
@opentelemetry/sdk-node(Node.js) — corrected to the Python OTel stack matching the W3 chatbot-service pattern (opentelemetry-api/sdk/exporter-otlp-proto-grpc ~= 1.27.0, OTLP-only, no Logfire).Two commits (rule 5 — one concern per commit):

Note:
protobuf 4.25.9gRPC C-extensions are incompatible with the dev machine's Python 3.14.0 (TypeError: Metaclasses with custom tp_new are not supported). Thetest_init_otel_respects_truthy_stringstest mocks the SDK constructors to isolate control-flow. The production bootstrap path is correct and functions on Python ≤ 3.12 (as used in k3d cluster images). This is a Python 3.14 prerelease C-extension limitation, not a code defect.Blast Radius
Score: 3/10 — Instrumentation-only, additive change. No behavioral path changes.
FlowResult.to_dict()gains one new key (trace_id) — backward-compatible schema extension. All existing 100 tests continue to pass unchanged.Risk indicators: no migration files touched, no existing API contracts changed, test delta +26 tests / 0 deleted.

The diff introduces a new
observability/subpackage and rewires the corebrowser.pyexecution path with OTel spans. The blocking bug affects everyQA_RIG_OTEL_ENABLED=1invocation regardless of protocol. Impact is contained to this repo's internal execution layer with no shared protocol or migration files touched.BLAST_SCORE: 4/10

Blast Radius
The diff introduces a new
observability/submodule and wires OTel spans/metrics intobrowser.py(the core execution path),types.py, and__init__.py. The new surface is exported and consumed cross-module but does not touch auth, secrets, or external protocol contracts. Blast radius is moderate — a regression in the OTel init path could silently no-op tracing for all flows, but existing functional tests are unaffected since OTel is opt-in viaQA_RIG_OTEL_ENABLED.BLAST_SCORE: 4/10

Lines 235–241:
This code sits inside
run_browser_flow(), not at module level, socreate_histogram()is invoked on every call — not once per process. The OTel SDK deduplicates instruments by(name, unit, description)and returns the same underlying instrument, so functional correctness is unaffected today. However, if a future refactor changes any of those three constants, the SDK will silently return a no-op instrument for the second invocation and emit a warning that is easy to miss.Minimal fix: correct the comment to
# create_histogram() is idempotent by (name, unit, description) — SDK returns same instrument per call. Better fix: hoist the histogram to module level or create it once afterinit_otel().Verdict
