Rule A silently missed a dotted span attribute (xrpl.ledger.hash) because of
two interacting bugs:
1. attr_keys_from_header resolved each constant via a flat global symbol table
keyed by bare name, so a later header defining a same-named constant (e.g.
consensus attr::ledgerHash = "ledger_hash") clobbered the base header's
attr::ledgerHash = "xrpl.ledger.hash", erasing the real dotted key from L1.
Now each constant is resolved against its own header (the global table only
seeds seg::/join() cross-file references); using-re-exports still resolve
globally.
2. derive_dotted_resource_keys allowlisted any dotted key declared in the base
SpanNames.h. Now it allowlists only the keys actually passed to
Resource::Create() in Telemetry.cpp (semconv service.* + the attr:: constants
set there, e.g. xrpl.network.*). A dotted key declared in a header but never
set as a resource attr is a Rule-A violation.
Adds 4 regression tests (collision, using-re-export, allowlist scope, brace
matching). No allowlist exception is added — the check now catches the
violation so the offending code can be fixed.
Phase 9 surfaced two Rule D gaps (false positives, not data errors):
- TraceQL `span.<attr>` / `resource.<attr>` references: the bare attribute is
in L1, but the scope-prefixed form was flagged. Now strip the
span./resource./event./link/instrumentation_scope. prefix before the L1
lookup.
- Native OTel metric labels (e.g. `job_type`, `reason`) emitted by
MetricsRegistry are valid dashboard labels but are not span attributes. Add
an L6 source: parse `Add(.., {{"label", ...}})` instrument calls and accept
those label keys alongside L1 and builtins.
Verified against phase-9's real dashboards: 6 prior false positives -> 0.
79 tests (7 new for span-prefix stripping and metric-label extraction).

Three robustness fixes to check_otel_naming.py, all on phase-1c where the
script lives:
- Rule F now runs UNCONDITIONALLY. It is a purely syntactic check on the
call-sites and does not need the L1 key set, so code that calls
SpanGuard::span/setAttribute directly without ever defining a *SpanNames.h
is still caught (previously it was silently skipped when no header existed).
- Exempt test files from Rule F (tests pass arbitrary literal keys to exercise
the API). The call-site matcher now requires a SpanGuard/`.`/`->` receiver,
so std::span and bare declarations no longer false-positive.
- Add Rule H (warning, non-fatal): a namespace-qualified constant used at a
telemetry call-site but not defined in any *SpanNames.h is flagged, catching
constants defined in-place instead of in the proper header. Bare locals and
std:: names are not warned to avoid noise.
SpanGuard.h / Telemetry.h @code examples updated to reference constants that
exist on this branch. README documents the new behavior.

Add Rule G to check_otel_naming.py: every span-attribute key must be
lower_snake_case (^[a-z][a-z0-9_]*$ per dot-separated segment). This catches
camelCase, UPPERCASE, and spaces in keys, which the structural (dotted) and
source (literal) rules did not. Document it in the script README and
CONTRIBUTING.md.

Add check_otel_naming.py and wire it into on-pr.yml so every PR validates
that span-attribute names stay consistent across the code, collector, Tempo,
dashboards, and docs.
- The valid key set is derived dynamically from the *SpanNames.h constants and
the resource attributes the code registers in Telemetry.cpp — no hardcoded
allowlist to drift.
- Each rule is presence-gated: it runs only when the file it needs is in the
tree, so the check is correct whether telemetry changes land in one PR or
several (the collector/Tempo/dashboard/runbook layers arrive in later phases).
- Rule A flags dotted span-attribute keys; Rule F flags string-literal
attribute keys and span-name arguments (values may be runtime data).
- stdlib-only, mirroring the levelization check (bare `python`, no pip step).
- Telemetry.h / SpanGuard.h @code examples now use *SpanNames.h constants so
the strict literal check passes.
- CONTRIBUTING.md documents the check and how to run it locally.
