Key design choices adapted from the original Phase 4 implementation to the new SpanGuard factory pattern introduced in Phase 3: - Add SpanGuard::hashSpan() for category-gated hash-derived trace IDs (consensus round spans share trace_id across validators via ledger hash) - Add SpanGuard::addEvent() overload with key-value attribute pairs (used for dispute.resolve events during position updates) - Add ConsensusSpanNames.h with compile-time span name constants following the colocated *SpanNames.h pattern from Phase 3 - Add consensusTraceStrategy config option ("deterministic"/"attribute") for cross-node trace correlation strategy selection - Use SpanGuard::linkedSpan() for follows-from relationships between consecutive rounds and cross-thread validation spans - Use SpanGuard::captureContext() for thread-safe context propagation from consensus thread to jtACCEPT worker thread Spans produced: consensus.round, consensus.proposal.send, consensus.ledger_close, consensus.establish, consensus.update_positions, consensus.check, consensus.accept, consensus.accept.apply, consensus.validation.send, consensus.mode_change Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M

The deterministic trace_id from the ledger hash is the key feature enabling cross-node correlation — replacing it broke correlation on all rounds after the first. Also: use thread_local mt19937 for hashSpan() span IDs (same fix as phase-3 txSpan), add Doxygen to establish tracing method declarations in Consensus.h, and update SpanGuard.h diagram with hashSpan/addEvent.

All consensus tracing uses + `SpanGuard` factory methods (`span()`, `hashSpan()`, `linkedSpan()`) and direct + method calls (`setAttribute()`, `addEvent()`). This avoids macro control-flow + issues and is cleaner than the planned approach. - **Separation of concerns**: All non-trivial telemetry code extracted to private helpers (`startRoundTracing`, `createValidationSpan`, `startEstablishTracing`, `updateEstablishTracing`, `endEstablishTracing`). Business logic methods contain - only single-line `#ifdef` blocks calling these helpers. + single-line calls to these helpers. - **Thread safety**: `createValidationSpan()` runs on the jtACCEPT worker thread. Instead of accessing `roundSpan_` across threads, a `roundSpanContext_` snapshot (lightweight `SpanContext` value type) is captured on the consensus thread in `startRoundTracing()` and read by `createValidationSpan()`. The job queue provides the happens-before guarantee. -- **Macro safety**: `XRPL_TRACE_ADD_EVENT` uses `do { } while (0)` to prevent - dangling-else issues. +- **No `#ifdef` guards**: Span members use `std::optional` and `SpanContext` + which have no-op implementations when telemetry is disabled. No `#ifdef XRPL_ENABLE_TELEMETRY` + guards needed around members or includes. +- **No `getTelemetry()` adaptor method**: `SpanGuard::span()` is a static factory that + internally checks telemetry state, so `Consensus.h` doesn't need adaptor access + for span creation. Only `RCLConsensus::Adaptor` accesses `app_.getTelemetry()` directly. - **Config validation**: `consensus_trace_strategy` is validated to be either `"deterministic"` or `"attribute"`, falling back to `"deterministic"` for unrecognised values.

context across nodes via protobuf `TraceContext` fields +embedded in peer-to-peer messages. When Node A sends a transaction, proposal, +or validation, it injects its active span's trace/span IDs into the protobuf +message. Node B extracts that context on receipt and creates a child span, +linking the two nodes into a single distributed trace. + +### How It Works + +``` +Node A (sender) Node B (receiver) ++-----------------------------+ +-------------------------------+ +| tx.process / consensus.* | | PeerImp::onMessage() | +| | | | | | +| v | | v | +| SpanGuard::getTraceBytes() | | extract TraceContext from | +| | | | protobuf message | +| v | send | | | +| injectSpanContext() --------|--------->| v | +| sets TraceContext fields | proto | txReceiveSpan() | +| (trace_id, span_id, flags) | msg | proposalReceiveSpan() | ++-----------------------------+ | validationReceiveSpan() | + | | | + | v | + | child span with parent link | + +-------------------------------+ +``` + +### Send-Side Injection + +| Message Type | Injection Point | Mechanism | +| ------------- | -------------------------- | ------------------------------------------ | +| TMTransaction | `NetworkOPs::apply()` | Injects `tx.process` span into relay msg | +| TMProposeSet | `RCLConsensus::propose()` | Injects active context into proposal msg | +| TMValidation | `RCLConsensus::validate()` | Injects active context into validation msg | + +### Receive-Side Extraction + +| Message Type | Extraction Point | Helper Function | +| ------------- | ----------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------- | +| TMTransaction | `PeerImp::onMessage(TMTransaction)` | `TxTracing::txReceiveSpan()` | +| TMProposeSet | `PeerImp::onMessage(TMProposeSet)` | `ConsensusReceiveTracing::proposalReceiveSpan()` | +| TMValidation | `PeerImp::onMessage(TMValidation)` | `ConsensusReceiveTracing::validationReceiveSpan()` | + +### Key Files + +| File | Role | +| ------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------- | +| `src/xrpld/telemetry/PropagationHelpers.h` | `injectSpanContext()` — SpanGuard to protobuf | +| `include/xrpl/telemetry/TraceContextPropagator.h` | OTel context <-> protobuf conversion primitives | +| `src/xrpld/telemetry/ConsensusReceiveTracing.h` | Proposal/validation receive span factories | +| `src/xrpld/telemetry/TxTracing.h` | Transaction receive span factory | + +### Backwards Compatibility + +Older peers that do not populate `TraceContext` fields in their messages will +simply produce empty trace bytes on the receive side.
