Telemetry must read state, never change it. Two defects here did change it,
plus three smaller correctness and privacy fixes.
doPathFind and doRipplePathFind read source_account / destination_account off
context.params to hash them into span attributes. context.params is non-const,
so those reads selected json::Value's non-const operator[], which inserts a
null for a missing key. The same object is later validated by
PathRequest::parseJson, whose first checks are isMember(source_account) and
isMember(destination_account) — so a request that omitted either field looked
present and the client received Malformed instead of Missing. Reads now go
through std::as_const, whose overload returns kNull without inserting.
PathRequest::doUpdate emitted pathfind_dest_currency as
to_string(saDstAmount_.asset()). For a non-XRP asset that renders as
"<issuer>/<currency>" with the issuer as a plaintext Base58 address, so a
plain account address reached the span pipeline even though every other
account here is hashed first. The issuer is now redacted and the currency
kept; an MPT asset renders as its issuance ID and carries no address.
PathRequestManager::updateAll created pathfind.update_all with an unscoped
SpanGuard. An unscoped guard takes the ambient span as its own parent but does
not itself become the ambient parent, so the pathfind.compute spans that
doUpdate creates never nested under it, contradicting the documented hierarchy.
It is now a scoped guard, held in std::optional because ScopedSpanGuard is
deliberately non-movable and so cannot be produced by a ternary. The skip when
there are no active subscriptions is preserved. updateAll is dispatched via
addJob and doUpdate runs synchronously, so the guard is constructed and
destroyed under the same context store, as ScopedSpanGuard requires.
The WebSocket entry point emitted the client-supplied command string directly.
That value becomes a Prometheus label, so arbitrary request input could drive
unbounded label cardinality. It is now resolved against the handler registry,
collapsing anything unrecognized to "unknown", matching what the HTTP path
already does.
Also: the pathfind.discover comment claimed future child spans could be
parented off it, which its unscoped guard cannot do — corrected to say what
would be required instead. Config-reference and task-list docs named the
parser setupTelemetry(); the API is makeTelemetrySetup().
- Drop xrpl.node.amendment_blocked / xrpl.node.server_state from telemetry
surface (constants in SpanNames.h, two filters in tempo.yaml). Operators
read the same data via server_info / server_state RPC; OTel SDK 1.18.0
cannot refresh resource attrs at runtime so resource-level emission was
not viable either.
- Namespace all pathfind span attributes under pathfind_* (underscore form
per Phase 1c rule 5). Renames in PathFindSpanNames.h and call sites in
PathRequest.cpp, PathRequestManager.cpp, plus the rule-5 retention
xrpl.pathfind.ledger_index -> pathfind_ledger_index.
- Wire pathfind_source_account / pathfind_dest_account on pathfind.request
in doPathFind / doRipplePathFind handlers (only when present + string).
- Collapse per-asset pathfind.discover / pathfind.rank spans into one
pathfind.discover hoisted around the per-source-asset loop in
PathRequest::findPaths. Span count goes from 2N to 1 per RPC call;
per-asset breakdown traded for bounded storage and cardinality. Trade-off
documented inline.
- Fix pathfind_num_paths semantics: now sums getBestPaths().size() across
the loop (paths actually returned) instead of the maxPaths input cap.
- PathRequestManager::updateAll: move span creation after the locked
requests_ snapshot, early-return when no active subscriptions exist
(avoids empty span on every ledger close), set pathfind_num_requests
= requests.size().
- Update Phase2_taskList.md and 02-design-decisions.md to match.

Sort PathFindSpanNames.h after AssetCache.h alphabetically in
PathRequestManager.cpp and Pathfinder.cpp to satisfy the project's
include-order convention enforced by pre-commit hooks.

Instrument the path finding subsystem with full span coverage:
- pathfind.request: wraps doPathFind() and doRipplePathFind() RPC handlers
- pathfind.compute: wraps PathRequest::doUpdate() with fast/normal attr
- pathfind.update_all: wraps PathRequestManager::updateAll() on ledger
close with ledger_index attr
- pathfind.discover: wraps Pathfinder::findPaths() graph exploration
with search_level attr
- pathfind.rank: wraps Pathfinder::computePathRanks() liquidity
validation with num_paths attr
New file: PathFindSpanNames.h with compile-time constants following
the StaticStr/join() pattern from Phase 1c.
