Conflict in processSession(): this branch added the request-payload-size
attribute on the same lines where the incoming change reverted
processRequest() from bool back to void. Kept both — the payload-size
attribute stays, and the call no longer captures a return value. The
trailing status block takes the incoming side, which leaves the
rpc.http_request span's status unset.
Six related defects in the RPC/gRPC span surface, all cases where a failure
was recorded as success or an attribute was missing on an error path.
GRPCServer: the non-exception branch set the span Ok unconditionally, then
sent a possibly-failed grpc::Status. The handler can return a non-OK status
without throwing, so every failed call traced as successful. Status now
follows result.second, with the error message as the span description.
ServerHandler: eight per-item error branches appended an error reply without
recording that the request failed. Batch responses and ripplerpc < 3.0 always
carry HTTP 200, so those failures were invisible and an entirely failed batch
ended its span as successful. Added an appendItemError() helper next to the
existing httpReplyError() lambda and routed all eight sites through it, so the
flag cannot be forgotten at a new call site.
ServerHandler: the early-return validation paths set the span error but not the
rpc_status attribute. Added it to httpReplyError() so every such path gets it.
RPCHandler: the fillHandler error path set only command and rpc_status, while
callMethod sets command, version and rpc_role. Error spans were therefore not
filterable by API version or role. The error path now mirrors that set.
RPCHandler: resolveCommandSpanName() checked only that command/method were
present, not that they agreed, while fillHandler rejects a mismatch as
rpcUNKNOWN_COMMAND. A request supplying both with different values was labelled
with one of the two names, misattributing the error to a command that never
dispatched. It now mirrors fillHandler's rule and collapses to "unknown".
ServerHandler: processRequest returned bool solely so the caller could set its
span status. Telemetry should read state, not shape the signature of the code it
observes, so the signature returns to void and rpc.process sets its own status
from spanHadError. The enclosing rpc.http_request span now leaves status unset:
the OTel spec has instrumentation leave status unset unless the operation itself
errored, and reserves Ok for an operator asserting verified success.
Conflict in src/libxrpl/telemetry/SpanGuard.cpp: both sides added a different
include in the same alphabetical slot — phase-4 added <initializer_list>, the
incoming std::format change added <format>. Both are required, so both are
kept in sorted order.
SpanGuard::span() and freshRoot() joined the prefix and suffix by hand with
reserve() + three append() calls. std::format expresses the same join in one
line; libstdc++ has shipped <format> since GCC 13 and the project floor is
GCC 15.2 (BUILD.md), so it is available on every supported compiler.
Both callers are noexcept and std::format can throw (std::bad_alloc, or
std::format_error on a malformed spec), so an escaping exception would
terminate the process. The call is wrapped in a joinSpanName() helper that
catches and returns std::nullopt; the caller then returns a null guard, which
is the same degrade-to-no-op path already taken when telemetry is disabled.
Telemetry must never bring the node down.
One helper rather than a try/catch at each site keeps both call sites a single
line and puts the exception-safety requirement in one documented place.

Conflict in OpenTelemetryPlan/03-implementation-strategy.md §3.9: both
branches independently fixed the same defect (stale hand-maintained line
counts) in different ways.
- 1b (0ff947454c) stripped the Lines Added / Lines Changed columns but kept
the §3.9.1 and §3.9.2 tables.
- 1a (3ad525a48a) removed both sections outright.
Resolved in favour of 1a's deletion. The tables were pre-implementation
estimates with no source of truth, so trimming the columns only defers the
next drift; the file/component lists duplicated §3.1's directory tree, which
1b already keeps current (DiscardFlag.h, FilteringSpanProcessor). Keeping the
upstream resolution also stops the same conflict recurring on 1c..10.
1b-specific content verified intact after the merge: §3.1 retains the
DiscardFlag.h entry, the FilteringSpanProcessor and discard() annotations,
and the TracingInstrumentation removal. No references to the deleted
sections remain in any plan doc.
The §3.9.1 "Files Modified Summary" and §3.9.2 "Detailed File Impact"
tables carried hand-maintained per-component line counts that had drifted
from the plan: the Lines Added column summed to 1,565 while the Total row
claimed ~1,670. Files (34) and Lines Changed (120) reconciled, so only the
Added total was stale — residue from expanding Core Telemetry 5 -> 11 files.
Rather than patch one cell, remove both tables. They were pre-implementation
estimates with no source of truth, so any figure in them drifts again on the
next phase. §3.1's directory tree remains the canonical list of the 11 new
telemetry files, and §3.9.3-3.9.7 (risk, architectural impact, backward
compatibility, rollback) carry the assessment without inventing line counts.
No references to the removed sections exist elsewhere in the plan docs.
The dashboard's template variables and panel targets select their
datasource via ${DS_PROMETHEUS}, but the variable itself was absent from
templating.list. An unresolvable datasource variable leaves those queries
without a datasource, so the panels render empty.
Add the datasource variable as the first templating entry, matching the
other dashboards in this folder.

The Sync State panel only ever showed Connected and Full. Two causes:
1. state_tracking{metric="state_value"} is emitted with values 0-6, where
5 is FULL+validating and 6 is FULL+proposing, but the panel declared
max: 4 with value mappings for 0-4 only. Values above 4 were pinned to
the axis ceiling and rendered unmapped. Most nodes sit at 6, so the
majority of series were clipped.
2. The gauge samples the instantaneous mode on a 10s export tick, so
states shorter than one tick fall between samples. A real sync showed
SYNCING for a single scrape and skipped TRACKING entirely. This is the
sampling hazard already noted on StateAccounting in NetworkOPs.h.
Extend the panel domain to 0-6 with Validating and Proposing mappings and
matching threshold steps, and add a colour-coded state-timeline panel where
each band's width is the time spent in that state, so brief states appear
as thin slivers rather than disappearing. The timeline reads
server_info{metric="server_state"} (raw OperatingMode 0-4) rather than
state_value, which folds 5 and 6 onto FULL and would split one Full band
into three colours.
Panel layout below the insertion point shifts down by 6 rows.
Note this makes short states legible, not lossless: exporting
StateAccounting's per-state duration accumulators is the sampling-immune
fix and is left as follow-up.

nudb_bytes was documented as a NuDB file size, one place even claiming a
filesystem stat. It observes Database::getStoreSize(), which sums the object
payloads this process has written. It excludes NuDB's keys, bucket padding and
log, and resets with the process. node_written_bytes calls the same accessor, so
the two series are equal by construction and a write-amplification ratio built
from them is a constant 1.0. Neither Backend nor Database exposes a file-size
accessor, so nothing reports on-disk size today.
The Ledger Data & Sync panel plotting node_reads_hit / node_reads_total was
titled "NuDB Cache Hit Ratio" and described as reads served from cache.
fetchHitCount_ increments whenever a fetch returned an object, whatever served
it, so the ratio is a found rate. It reads near 100% while every fetch goes to
disk, which made the cold-read failure mode look impossible. Renamed to
"NuDB Read Found Ratio" and rewrote the guidance to pair it with read latency.

Both files use telemetry::consensus::span::* but reached the declarations
only transitively, which misc-include-cleaner rejects. Add the direct
include now that the header lives under xrpl/consensus/.
clang-tidy had been skipped on this branch while CMake configure was
failing, so these findings in makeStageSpan surfaced only now:
- brace the three single-statement if bodies (readability-braces-around-statements)
- compare the pointer parameter explicitly against nullptr
(readability-implicit-bool-conversion)
- include xrpl/protocol/Protocol.h for LedgerIndex (misc-include-cleaner)
The consensus headers moved into the isolated xrpl/consensus module and
took a dependency on xrpl/telemetry for the tracing span constants, but
two things were left behind:
- Four includes still pointed at the old src/xrpld/consensus/ location,
which no longer exists, so the build failed with
"fatal error: 'xrpld/consensus/ConsensusParms.h' file not found".
- xrpl.libxrpl.consensus never linked xrpl.libxrpl.telemetry. add_module
isolates each module's headers, so xrpl/telemetry/SpanNames.h was not
on the include path even once the include was repointed.
Repoint the stale includes at xrpl/consensus/, and declare the telemetry
module before consensus so consensus can link it. Regenerate ordering.txt
for the resulting edge.
