Add a 'Computation boundary' section to every keyworded panel stating (a)
whether the result is per-node or aggregated across nodes, derived from
the query's grouping, and (b) where the value is computed along the
pipeline: xrpld code (MetricsRegistry OTel SDK, or beast::insight native),
the collector's SpanMetrics connector, or a Tempo TraceQL query over raw
spans. Classification is derived per panel from its actual queries and the
MetricsRegistry source, not guessed.

P95 of second-scale spans was a meaningless interpolation. The spanmetrics
histogram topped out at [.. 1s, 5s], so consensus.round (~3.9s) and
consensus.establish (~1.9s) all fell into one 1s-5s bucket and
histogram_quantile interpolated linearly across that 4s-wide gap — the
"Build vs Close" / "Ledger Close Duration" panels' P95 read ~4800ms purely
as an artifact (verified: sum/count avg = 3824ms). ledger.acquire was worse:
~17% of samples exceeded the 5s ceiling, so its p95/p99 were unmeasurable.
Add 2s, 3s, 4s (resolve the 1-5s pile-up) and 10s, 30s (give the
ledger.acquire catch-up tail a measurable home). All ten existing boundaries
are preserved and the list stays strictly ascending (the connector
binary-searches buckets and silently misbuckets otherwise). Pin unit=ms so a
future collector default-unit flip can't rename the metric to _seconds.
Buckets chosen from the live mainnet distribution, not guessed. Native
beast::insight histograms (ms-scale RPC/IO timers in Telemetry.cpp) are 100%
under 5s, so they keep the original buckets — this is collector-only.
Applies on collector restart (cumulative series reset once, handled by
rate()). Runbook and regression-threshold bucket notes updated to match.

Add a scope tag to every panel keyword — (per node), (network-wide),
(network event), or (cluster-wide) — so a reader can tell whether a term
describes this server's own state, a protocol-shared fact, or a
network-wide consensus process the node participates in. Add a matching
'Scope:' line to each glossary entry.

Add a Keywords definition-list and a References link line to 178 Grafana
panel descriptions across all 14 dashboards, defining the XRPL/rippled
domain terms each panel uses (tiers 1-9: ledger, consensus, transaction
pipeline, fees/queue, node state, peer/overlay, storage, validator,
RPC/pathfinding). Cross-cutting chart terms and job-queue internals are
intentionally excluded.
Add docs/telemetry-glossary.md (86 terms, 9 categories) as the deeper
reference, linked from each panel's References line and from the runbook.
Keywords are injected only where a term appears in that panel's prose
(matched over description text, not source-file citations).

The roundSpan_ / roundSpanContext_ comments still described the old
'detached, Scope stripped' model. roundSpan_ is now a thread-free SpanGuard
(no Scope); children link via the captured roundSpanContext_.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
acquireSpan_ is emplaced on the acquiring thread and reset() on a JtLedgerData
worker. SpanGuard is now thread-free (owns no thread-local Scope), so it can be
created here and destroyed on the worker with no scope to strip — dropping the
.detached() call the old scoped SpanGuard required.

Reflects the C1 fix: rpc.command.* stays unscoped (its dispatch wraps
doRipplePathFind which yields), so pathfind.request nests under rpc.process.
The request -> compute -> discover sub-tree nests correctly via ScopedSpanGuard.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
ledger.build was left as unscoped SpanGuard after the type split, so tx.apply
(created synchronously during applyTxs on the same JtAccept worker) no longer
nested under it. buildLedgerImpl runs synchronously with no yield, so
ScopedSpanGuard is safe and restores the ledger.build -> tx.apply edge.

pathfind.request (PathFind.cpp) and pathfind.compute (PathRequest.cpp doUpdate)
were left as unscoped SpanGuard after the type split, so pathfind.compute and
pathfind.discover no longer nested under them. Both handlers run synchronously
with no coroutine yield, so ScopedSpanGuard is safe and restores the
request -> compute -> discover sub-tree. rpc.command.* stays unscoped (callMethod
wraps doRipplePathFind which holds across a yield), so pathfind.request parents
to rpc.process.

The "Ledger Close Duration" panel measured the consensus.ledger_close span
duration, which only wraps the sub-millisecond onClose() prologue — not the
ledger close. Repoint it to the consensus.round span (full round, open to
accept) so it reflects actual close time (~3-5s on mainnet). The consensus_mode
filter is preserved (consensus.round carries that attribute, verified live).
The sibling rate panels (Consensus Mode Over Time, Accept vs Close Rate,
Validation vs Close Rate) keep using consensus.ledger_close: a rate of that
span is a valid per-close event counter, only its duration was wrong.
Runbook updated to match.

The "ledger close time" was mis-derived and partly un-queryable:
- Build vs Close Duration derived close time from the consensus.ledger_close
span, which only wraps the onClose() prologue (~0.8ms live) — not the close.
Repoint the close series to consensus.round (full round, live P95 ~4.8s).
- The network close-time value (close_time) lived only as a span attribute,
un-queryable in Prometheus and unfit as a spanmetrics label (monotonic
timestamp -> unbounded cardinality). Expose it as last_close_time on the
existing server_info observable gauge (native gauge, no new instrument).
- Add a "Ledger Close Interval & Age" panel to ledger-operations and
node-health: interval = 1/rate(ledgers_closed_total) (counter-based,
scrape-independent); age = time() - (last_close_time + epoch_offset).
A gauge delta is deliberately NOT used for the interval — a timestamp gauge's
delta aliases to the scrape period, not the close cadence (verified live).
Guardrail comments in both collector configs record why close_time must never
become a spanmetrics dimension. Docs (09-reference) and the operator runbook
updated to match.

Document that deterministic-trace_id spans (tx.* apply pipeline, tx.process,
tx.receive, consensus.round) are now genuine trace roots with empty
parent_span_id via the custom DeterministicIdGenerator, superseding the old
synthetic-parent behavior that showed 'root span not yet received' in Tempo.
Also update the fresh-root note: peer entry spans use ScopedSpanGuard::freshRoot().
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
These peer-level entry spans (introduced on phase-6) used the removed
SpanGuard::rootSpan(). They are scoped on the peer thread and end there, so
use ScopedSpanGuard::freshRoot() — a scoped fresh trace root that does not
inherit any span left active on the peer thread.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
With unscoped SpanGuard + spanContext() (own-span capture), the consensus
round/establish/accept sites just capture and drop the detach dance;
openSpan + peer proposal/validation receive are thread-free handoffs (no
detach); rootSpan->freshRoot.

OTel distinguishes a span's own context from the thread's
current/ambient context; SpanGuard is unscoped so spanContext()
(own span, default) is what cross-thread childSpan parenting needs,
and threadLocalContext() (static) snapshots RuntimeContext::GetCurrent()
for propagation. Renames captureContext.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
SpanGuard is unscoped (never pushed onto the thread-local context stack), so
RuntimeContext::GetCurrent() returned an unrelated ambient span. Build the
captured context from impl_->span so captureContext() is correct for every
caller regardless of scoping — childSpan(name, ctx) then parents explicitly to
this span across threads. Matches getTraceBytes()'s own-context behavior.
