The reference docs had drifted from the code in ways that break the reader
rather than merely misinform: PromQL examples that return no data, a rollback
flag that is a no-op, a sampling knob that does not exist, and two span parents
that moved. Code is treated as the truth throughout; where the code is the
defective side, the doc now records it as a known issue instead of describing
the bug as intent.
Renames the docs missed: histogram names gain the exporter's unit suffix
(ios_latency_milliseconds_bucket and four siblings), ledger_history_mismatch
gains _total, the StatsD-era quantile label gives way to le buckets,
rpc.request becomes rpc.http_request, traces_spanmetrics_calls_total becomes
span_calls_total, and the nine dotted xrpl.* span attributes are recorded as
renamed rather than left as live keys.
Re-parenting: consensus.update_positions and consensus.check are children of
consensus.establish, not of consensus.round.
Units and labels: state_accounting_*_duration is microseconds, not seconds;
cache_metrics label values are case-sensitive; object_count carries demangled
C++ type names. Nodestore read and write latency stays microseconds -- the
nanosecond accumulator change did not move the exported unit.
Adds what shipped but was undocumented: the ledger.acquire span, seven
consensus.round events, twelve span attributes, node_writes_duration_us, the
7-day validation-agreement window, the TxQ admission and reduce-relay metric
families, metrics_endpoint, and the phase-10 validation workflow.
Corrects claims that never held: 10% head sampling (it is fixed at 100%),
configurable redaction (it is unconditional), -DXRPL_ENABLE_TELEMETRY=OFF
(the flag is -Dtelemetry=OFF, default ON), FindOpenTelemetry.cmake and the
xrpl_telemetry target (neither exists), Promtail and a StatsD exporter in the
pipeline (neither exists), and Loki stream selection on job= (only
service_name is a stream label).
Phase 9 is marked complete, its provisioned alerting is attributed to the
branch that shipped it, and Phase 11 stays at zero except the one prerequisite
its code closes. Counts are reconciled repo-wide: 41 emitted span families,
15 dashboards on disk with 14 asserted, 13 alert rules in 5 groups.
Hardens the gate that let this drift through: Rule E of the naming check now
covers the reference docs, its allow-dotted marker is key-scoped and warns on
stale or empty use, a missing checked file is reported instead of silently
skipped, the test suite runs in CI, and doc paths trigger the check.
C++ and CMake changes are comment-only: three MetricsRegistry instrument names,
eight OTelCollector claims of a metric-name prefix that formatName never adds,
and the telemetry option's inverted default.
detached() strips the thread-local OTel Scope so a guard can be safely
moved to and destroyed on another thread; it pops the Scope on the origin
thread and moves the span into a scope-less guard. rootSpan() starts a span
as a fresh trace root (kIsRootSpanKey) so inbound entry points never inherit
an ambient span left active on the thread.
Impl now holds an optional<Scope> (nullopt for detached guards). Updated the
SpanGuard class docs and docs/build/telemetry.md with the cross-thread rules.
The unit test lands on phase2 where the telemetry test module exists.

Flip the tracePeer Setup default and the trace_peer config parser
default from off to on, and update the example config and build doc to
match. Peer spans record only peer_id (a node-local numeric connection
id) plus trust/ledger metadata — no IP addresses or public keys — so
the privacy concern behind disabling it does not apply. The high-volume
characteristic is retained in the docs.

Replace references to non-existent TracingInstrumentation.h with
SpanGuard.cpp pimpl implementation that actually exists on this branch.
Update conditional compilation section to describe the pimpl approach.

Add span discard mechanism that drops unwanted spans before they enter
the batch export queue, saving both network bandwidth and storage.
FilteringSpanProcessor is a custom SpanProcessor decorator that wraps
BatchSpanProcessor. SpanGuard::discard() sets a thread-local flag
(tl_discardCurrentSpan) before calling Span::End(). The OTel SDK calls
OnEnd() synchronously on the same thread, where the flag is checked and
cleared to drop the span.
New file: DiscardFlag.h — zero-dependency header for the thread-local
flag, avoiding transitive include bloat from Telemetry.h.

Tempo is now the sole trace backend. Remove Jaeger all-in-one service
from docker-compose, otlp/jaeger exporter from OTel Collector config,
and Jaeger Grafana datasource provisioning file.
