Head sampling is fixed at 1.0 and not configurable. Drop sampling_ratio
from the docker sample/test configs and the data-collection reference;
rewrite the span-metric sampling caveat and volume guidance to point at
collector-side tail sampling.

Document that head sampling is intentionally fixed at 100% and no longer
exposes a sampling_ratio config knob. A per-node ratio let nodes make
divergent keep/drop decisions for the same distributed trace, producing
broken/partial traces; pinning at 1.0 with a ParentBased sampler keeps
decisions coherent across the network. Volume reduction is delegated to
collector-side tail sampling.

Update the Peer Spans note, the known-gaps caveat, and the trace category
toggle table to show trace_peer enabled by default. The Production Setup
example keeps trace_peer=0 as a deliberate high-volume opt-out alongside
sampling_ratio=0.01.

Flip trace_peer default false->true across the Phase-1a plan docs and
correct the rationale: peer spans record only peer_id (numeric local
connection id) plus trust/ledger metadata, never IP addresses or public
keys, so the 'includes addresses' caveat was inaccurate. The high-volume
note is retained.

Wire the apply-pipeline stage spans (tx.preflight, tx.preclaim,
tx.transactor) added on phase-3 through the observability stack so the
spanmetrics connector produces per-stage RED metrics without any native
instruments.
- collector: add the `stage` dimension to the spanmetrics connector so
the three stages split into separate metric series (3 bounded values).
- dashboard: add a "Tx Apply Pipeline" section to transaction-overview
with rate, p95 latency, and failure-rate panels grouped by stage, plus
a `stage` template variable. Panels follow the existing config (node
filter, exported_instance legends, Title Case, axis labels).
- The failure panel filters ter_result != tesSUCCESS rather than span
status, because a failing ter code completes the span normally — only
thrown exceptions set an error status. This matches the existing
"Transaction Results by Type" panel convention.
- docs: document the spans, attributes, and stage dimension in the data
collection reference and runbook, including the sampling caveat that
span-derived metrics inherit tracer head-sampling and undercount at
sampling_ratio < 1.

Resolve runbook conflict: keep both phase 6 ledger/peer span tables
AND new insights/sample queries section from the enrichment work.

Two stray "rippled" tokens introduced by 43258e8d ("docs(telemetry):
add secure-OTel pipeline analysis…") were caught by check-rename in
CI. Re-run docs.sh to convert them to xrpld so the rename check
passes on PR #6425 (and downstream PR #6426 once merged up).
