fix: populate baseline from CI run, remove dead rpc_methods metrics

Populate baselines/baseline-timings.json from the green CI run
(24906110133, commit f11ebc1253). 25/31 metrics have non-null values;
6 span.rpc.* are null due to sparse data in the 3m window.

Remove the rpc_methods section from regression-metrics.json and its
thresholds. rippled_rpc_method_duration_us_bucket is never populated
because PerfLogImp::rpcEnd never calls MetricsRegistry::recordRpcFinished
— only recordRpcStarted is wired up (Phase 9 instrumentation gap).
The span-based rpc.request/rpc.process metrics via spanmetrics already
cover RPC latency.

+# Levelization
+
+Levelization is the term used to describe efforts to prevent rippled from
+having or creating cyclic dependencies.
+
+rippled code is organized into directories under `src/xrpld`, `src/libxrpl` (and
+`src/test`) representing modules. The modules are intended to be
+organized into "tiers" or "levels" such that a module from one level can
+only include code from lower levels. Additionally, a module
+in one level should never include code in an `impl` or `detail` folder of any level
+other than it's own.
+
+The codebase is split into two main areas:
+
+- **libxrpl** (`src/libxrpl`, `include/xrpl`): Reusable library modules with public interfaces
+- **xrpld** (`src/xrpld`): Application-specific implementation code
+
+Unfortunately, over time, enforcement of levelization has been
+inconsistent, so the current state of the code doesn't necessarily
+reflect these rules. Whenever possible, developers should refactor any
+levelization violations they find (by moving files or individual
+classes). At the very least, don't make things worse.
+
+The table below summarizes the _desired_ division of modules, based on the current
+state of the rippled code. The levels are numbered from
+the bottom up with the lower level, lower numbered, more independent
+modules listed first, and the higher level, higher numbered modules with
+more dependencies listed later.
+
+**tl;dr:** The modules listed first are more independent than the modules
+listed later.
+
+## libxrpl Modules (Reusable Libraries)

+(Note that `test` levelization is _much_ less important and _much_ less
+strictly enforced than `xrpl`/`xrpld` levelization, other than the requirement
+that `test` code should _never_ be included in `xrpl` or `xrpld` code.)

+## Validation
+
+The [levelization](generate.py) script takes no parameters,
+reads no environment variables, and can be run from any directory,
+as long as it is in the expected location in the rippled repo.
+It can be run at any time from within a checked out repo, and will
+do an analysis of all the `#include`s in
+the rippled source. The only caveat is that it runs much slower
+under Windows than in Linux. It hasn't yet been tested under MacOS.
+It generates many files of [results](results):
+
+- `rawincludes.txt`: The raw dump of the `#includes`
+- `paths.txt`: A second dump grouping the source module
+  to the destination module, de-duped, and with frequency counts.
+- `includes/`: A directory where each file represents a module and
+  contains a list of modules and counts that the module _includes_.
+- `included_by/`: Similar to `includes/`, but the other way around. Each
+  file represents a module and contains a list of modules and counts
+  that _include_ the module.
+- [`loops.txt`](results/loops.txt): A list of direct loops detected
+  between modules as they actually exist, as opposed to how they are
+  desired as described above. In a perfect repo, this file will be
+  empty.
+  This file is committed to the repo, and is used by the [levelization
+  Github workflow](../../workflows/reusable-check-levelization.yml) to validate
+  that nothing changed.
+- [`ordering.txt`](results/ordering.txt): A list showing relationships
+  between modules where there are no loops as they actually exist, as
+  opposed to how they are desired as described above.
+  This file is committed to the repo, and is used by the [levelization
+  Github workflow](../../workflows/reusable-check-levelization.yml) to validate
+  that nothing changed.
+- [`levelization.yml`](../../workflows/reusable-check-levelization.yml)
+  Github Actions workflow to test that levelization loops haven't
+  changed. Unfortunately, if changes are detected, it can't tell if
+  they are improvements or not, so if you have resolved any issues or
+  done anything else to improve levelization, run `generate.py`,
+  and commit the updated results.
+
+The `loops.txt` and `ordering.txt` files relate the modules
+using comparison signs, which indicate the number of times each
+module is included in the other.
+
+- `A > B` means that A should probably be at a higher level than B,
+  because B is included in A significantly more than A is included in B.
+  These results can be included in both `loops.txt` and `ordering.txt`.
+  Because `ordering.txt`only includes relationships where B is not
+  included in A at all, it will only include these types of results.
+- `A ~= B` means that A and B are included in each other a different
+  number of times, but the values are so close that the script can't
+  definitively say that one should be above the other. These results
+  will only be included in `loops.txt`.
+- `A == B` means that A and B include each other the same number of
+  times, so the script has no clue which should be higher. These results
+  will only be included in `loops.txt`.
+
+The committed files hide the detailed values intentionally, to
+prevent false alarms and merging issues, and because it's easy to
+get those details locally.
+
+1. Run `generate.py`
+2. Grep the modules in `paths.txt`.
+   - For example, if a cycle is found `A ~= B`, simply `grep -w
+A .github/scripts/levelization/results/paths.txt | grep -w B`

+## Renaming ripple(d) to xrpl(d)
+
+In the initial phases of development of the XRPL, the open source codebase was
+called "rippled" and it remains with that name even today. Today, over 1000
+nodes run the application, and code contributions have been submitted by
+developers located around the world. The XRPL community is larger than ever.
+In light of the decentralized and diversified nature of XRPL, we will rename any
+references to `ripple` and `rippled` to `xrpl` and `xrpld`, when appropriate.
+
+See [here](https://xls.xrpl.org/xls/XLS-0095-rename-rippled-to-xrpld.html) for
+more information.
+
+### Scripts
+
+To facilitate this transition, there will be multiple scripts that developers
+can run on their own PRs and forks to minimize conflicts. Each script should be
+run from the repository root.
+
+1. `.github/scripts/rename/definitions.sh`: This script will rename all
+   definitions, such as include guards, from `RIPPLE_XXX` and `RIPPLED_XXX` to
+   `XRPL_XXX`.
+2. `.github/scripts/rename/copyright.sh`: This script will remove superfluous
+   copyright notices.
+3. `.github/scripts/rename/cmake.sh`: This script will rename all CMake files
+   from `RippleXXX.cmake` or `RippledXXX.cmake` to `XrplXXX.cmake`, and any
+   references to `ripple` and `rippled` (with or without capital letters) to
+   `xrpl` and `xrpld`, respectively. The name of the binary will remain as-is,
+   and will only be renamed to `xrpld` by a later script.
+4. `.github/scripts/rename/binary.sh`: This script will rename the binary from
+   `rippled` to `xrpld`, and reverses the symlink so that `rippled` points to
+   the `xrpld` binary.
+5. `.github/scripts/rename/namespace.sh`: This script will rename the C++
+   namespaces from `ripple` to `xrpl`.
+6. `.github/scripts/rename/config.sh`: This script will rename the config from
+   `rippled.cfg` to `xrpld.cfg`, and updating the code accordingly. The old
+   filename will still be accepted.
+
+You can run all these scripts from the repository root as follows:
+
+```shell
+./.github/scripts/rename/definitions.sh .
+./.github/scripts/rename/copyright.sh .
+./.github/scripts/rename/cmake.sh .

-          If you are reading this, you are looking at a failed Github
-          Actions job. That means you changed the dependency relationships
-          between the modules in rippled. That may be an improvement or a
-          regression. This check doesn't judge.
-
-          A rule of thumb, though, is that if your changes caused
-          something to be removed from loops.txt, that's probably an
-          improvement. If something was added, it's probably a regression.
-
-          To fix it, you can do one of two things:
-          1. Download and apply the patch generated as an artifact of this
-             job to your repo, commit, and push.
-          2. Run './Builds/levelization/levelization.sh' in your repo,
-             commit, and push.
-
-          See Builds/levelization/README.md for more info.

API-CHANGELOG.md

@@ -6,123 +6,172 @@ For info about how [API versioning](https://xrpl.org/request-formatting.html#api
 
 The API version controls the API behavior you see. This includes what properties you see in responses, what parameters you're permitted to send in requests, and so on. You specify the API version in each of your requests. When a breaking change is introduced to the `rippled` API, a new version is released. To avoid breaking your code, you should set (or increase) your version when you're ready to upgrade.
 
+The [commandline](https://xrpl.org/docs/references/http-websocket-apis/api-conventions/request-formatting/#commandline-format) always uses the latest API version. The command line is intended for ad-hoc usage by humans, not programs or automated scripts. The command line is not meant for use in production code.
+
 For a log of breaking changes, see the **API Version [number]** headings. In general, breaking changes are associated with a particular API Version number. For non-breaking changes, scroll to the **XRP Ledger version [x.y.z]** headings. Non-breaking changes are associated with a particular XRP Ledger (`rippled`) release.
 
+## API Version 3 (Beta)
+
+API version 3 is currently a beta API. It requires enabling `[beta_rpc_api]` in the rippled configuration to use. See [API-VERSION-3.md](API-VERSION-3.md) for the full list of changes in API version 3.
+
 ## API Version 2
 
-API version 2 is available in `rippled` version 2.0.0 and later. To use this API, clients specify `"api_version" : 2` in each request.
-
-#### Removed methods
-
-In API version 2, the following deprecated methods are no longer available: (https://github.com/XRPLF/rippled/pull/4759)
-
-- `tx_history` - Instead, use other methods such as `account_tx` or `ledger` with the `transactions` field set to `true`.
-- `ledger_header` - Instead, use the `ledger` method.
-
-#### Modifications to JSON transaction element in V2
-
-In API version 2, JSON elements for transaction output have been changed and made consistent for all methods which output transactions. (https://github.com/XRPLF/rippled/pull/4775)
-This helps to unify the JSON serialization format of transactions. (https://github.com/XRPLF/clio/issues/722, https://github.com/XRPLF/rippled/issues/4727)
-
-- JSON transaction element is named `tx_json`
-- Binary transaction element is named `tx_blob`
-- JSON transaction metadata element is named `meta`
-- Binary transaction metadata element is named `meta_blob`
-
-Additionally, these elements are now consistently available next to `tx_json` (i.e. sibling elements), where possible:
-
-- `hash` - Transaction ID. This data was stored inside transaction output in API version 1, but in API version 2 is a sibling element.
-- `ledger_index` - Ledger index (only set on validated ledgers)
-- `ledger_hash` - Ledger hash (only set on closed or validated ledgers)
-- `close_time_iso` - Ledger close time expressed in ISO 8601 time format (only set on validated ledgers)
-- `validated` - Bool element set to `true` if the transaction is in a validated ledger, otherwise `false`
-
-This change affects the following methods:
-
-- `tx` - Transaction data moved into element `tx_json` (was inline inside `result`) or, if binary output was requested, moved from `tx` to `tx_blob`. Renamed binary transaction metadata element (if it was requested) from `meta` to `meta_blob`. Changed location of `hash` and added new elements
-- `account_tx` - Renamed transaction element from `tx` to `tx_json`. Renamed binary transaction metadata element (if it was requested) from `meta` to `meta_blob`. Changed location of `hash` and added new elements
-- `transaction_entry` - Renamed transaction metadata element from `metadata` to `meta`. Changed location of `hash` and added new elements
-- `subscribe` - Renamed transaction element from `transaction` to `tx_json`. Changed location of `hash` and added new elements
-- `sign`, `sign_for`, `submit` and `submit_multisigned` - Changed location of `hash` element.
-
-#### Modification to `Payment` transaction JSON schema
-
-When reading Payments, the `Amount` field should generally **not** be used. Instead, use [delivered_amount](https://xrpl.org/partial-payments.html#the-delivered_amount-field) to see the amount that the Payment delivered. To clarify its meaning, the `Amount` field is being renamed to `DeliverMax`. (https://github.com/XRPLF/rippled/pull/4733)
-
-- In `Payment` transaction type, JSON RPC field `Amount` is renamed to `DeliverMax`. To enable smooth client transition, `Amount` is still handled, as described below: (https://github.com/XRPLF/rippled/pull/4733)
-  - On JSON RPC input (e.g. `submit_multisigned` etc. methods), `Amount` is recognized as an alias to `DeliverMax` for both API version 1 and version 2 clients.
-  - On JSON RPC input, submitting both `Amount` and `DeliverMax` fields is allowed _only_ if they are identical; otherwise such input is rejected with `rpcINVALID_PARAMS` error.
-  - On JSON RPC output (e.g. `subscribe`, `account_tx` etc. methods), `DeliverMax` is present in both API version 1 and version 2.
-  - On JSON RPC output, `Amount` is only present in API version 1 and _not_ in version 2.
-
-#### Modifications to account_info response
-
-- `signer_lists` is returned in the root of the response. (In API version 1, it was nested under `account_data`.) (https://github.com/XRPLF/rippled/pull/3770)
-- When using an invalid `signer_lists` value, the API now returns an "invalidParams" error. (https://github.com/XRPLF/rippled/pull/4585)
-  - (`signer_lists` must be a boolean. In API version 1, strings were accepted and may return a normal response - i.e. as if `signer_lists` were `true`.)
-
-#### Modifications to [account_tx](https://xrpl.org/account_tx.html#account_tx) response
-
-- Using `ledger_index_min`, `ledger_index_max`, and `ledger_index` returns `invalidParams` because if you use `ledger_index_min` or `ledger_index_max`, then it does not make sense to also specify `ledger_index`. In API version 1, no error was returned. (https://github.com/XRPLF/rippled/pull/4571)
-  - The same applies for `ledger_index_min`, `ledger_index_max`, and `ledger_hash`. (https://github.com/XRPLF/rippled/issues/4545#issuecomment-1565065579)
-- Using a `ledger_index_min` or `ledger_index_max` beyond the range of ledgers that the server has:
-  - returns `lgrIdxMalformed` in API version 2. Previously, in API version 1, no error was returned. (https://github.com/XRPLF/rippled/issues/4288)
-- Attempting to use a non-boolean value (such as a string) for the `binary` or `forward` parameters returns `invalidParams` (`rpcINVALID_PARAMS`). Previously, in API version 1, no error was returned. (https://github.com/XRPLF/rippled/pull/4620)
-
-#### Modifications to [noripple_check](https://xrpl.org/noripple_check.html#noripple_check) response
-
-- Attempting to use a non-boolean value (such as a string) for the `transactions` parameter returns `invalidParams` (`rpcINVALID_PARAMS`). Previously, in API version 1, no error was returned. (https://github.com/XRPLF/rippled/pull/4620)
+API version 2 is available in `rippled` version 2.0.0 and later. See [API-VERSION-2.md](API-VERSION-2.md) for the full list of changes in API version 2.
 
 ## API Version 1
 
 This version is supported by all `rippled` versions. For WebSocket and HTTP JSON-RPC requests, it is currently the default API version used when no `api_version` is specified.
 
-The [commandline](https://xrpl.org/docs/references/http-websocket-apis/api-conventions/request-formatting/#commandline-format) always uses the latest API version. The command line is intended for ad-hoc usage by humans, not programs or automated scripts. The command line is not meant for use in production code.
+## Unreleased
 
-### Inconsistency: server_info - network_id
+This section contains changes targeting a future version.
 
-The `network_id` field was added in the `server_info` response in version 1.5.0 (2019), but it is not returned in [reporting mode](https://xrpl.org/rippled-server-modes.html#reporting-mode). However, use of reporting mode is now discouraged, in favor of using [Clio](https://github.com/XRPLF/clio) instead.
+### Additions
+
+- `server_definitions`: Added the following new sections to the response ([#6321](https://github.com/XRPLF/rippled/pull/6321)):

+# API Version 2
+
+API version 2 is available in `rippled` version 2.0.0 and later. To use this API, clients specify `"api_version" : 2` in each request.
+
+For info about how [API versioning](https://xrpl.org/request-formatting.html#api-versioning) works, including examples, please view the [XLS-22d spec](https://github.com/XRPLF/XRPL-Standards/discussions/54). For details about the implementation of API versioning, view the [implementation PR](https://github.com/XRPLF/rippled/pull/3155). API versioning ensures existing integrations and users continue to receive existing behavior, while those that request a higher API version will experience new behavior.
+
+## Removed methods
+
+In API version 2, the following deprecated methods are no longer available: ([#4759](https://github.com/XRPLF/rippled/pull/4759))
+
+- `tx_history` - Instead, use other methods such as `account_tx` or `ledger` with the `transactions` field set to `true`.
+- `ledger_header` - Instead, use the `ledger` method.
+
+## Modifications to JSON transaction element in API version 2
+
+In API version 2, JSON elements for transaction output have been changed and made consistent for all methods which output transactions. ([#4775](https://github.com/XRPLF/rippled/pull/4775))
+This helps to unify the JSON serialization format of transactions. ([clio#722](https://github.com/XRPLF/clio/issues/722), [#4727](https://github.com/XRPLF/rippled/issues/4727))
+
+- JSON transaction element is named `tx_json`
+- Binary transaction element is named `tx_blob`
+- JSON transaction metadata element is named `meta`
+- Binary transaction metadata element is named `meta_blob`
+
+Additionally, these elements are now consistently available next to `tx_json` (i.e. sibling elements), where possible:
+
+- `hash` - Transaction ID. This data was stored inside transaction output in API version 1, but in API version 2 is a sibling element.
+- `ledger_index` - Ledger index (only set on validated ledgers)
+- `ledger_hash` - Ledger hash (only set on closed or validated ledgers)
+- `close_time_iso` - Ledger close time expressed in ISO 8601 time format (only set on validated ledgers)
+- `validated` - Bool element set to `true` if the transaction is in a validated ledger, otherwise `false`
+
+This change affects the following methods:
+
+- `tx` - Transaction data moved into element `tx_json` (was inline inside `result`) or, if binary output was requested, moved from `tx` to `tx_blob`. Renamed binary transaction metadata element (if it was requested) from `meta` to `meta_blob`. Changed location of `hash` and added new elements
+- `account_tx` - Renamed transaction element from `tx` to `tx_json`. Renamed binary transaction metadata element (if it was requested) from `meta` to `meta_blob`. Changed location of `hash` and added new elements
+- `transaction_entry` - Renamed transaction metadata element from `metadata` to `meta`. Changed location of `hash` and added new elements
+- `subscribe` - Renamed transaction element from `transaction` to `tx_json`. Changed location of `hash` and added new elements
+- `sign`, `sign_for`, `submit` and `submit_multisigned` - Changed location of `hash` element.
+
+## Modifications to `Payment` transaction JSON schema
+
+When reading Payments, the `Amount` field should generally **not** be used. Instead, use [delivered_amount](https://xrpl.org/partial-payments.html#the-delivered_amount-field) to see the amount that the Payment delivered. To clarify its meaning, the `Amount` field is being renamed to `DeliverMax`. ([#4733](https://github.com/XRPLF/rippled/pull/4733))
+
+- In `Payment` transaction type, JSON RPC field `Amount` is renamed to `DeliverMax`. To enable smooth client transition, `Amount` is still handled, as described below: ([#4733](https://github.com/XRPLF/rippled/pull/4733))
+  - On JSON RPC input (e.g. `submit_multisigned` etc. methods), `Amount` is recognized as an alias to `DeliverMax` for both API version 1 and version 2 clients.
+  - On JSON RPC input, submitting both `Amount` and `DeliverMax` fields is allowed _only_ if they are identical; otherwise such input is rejected with `rpcINVALID_PARAMS` error.
+  - On JSON RPC output (e.g. `subscribe`, `account_tx` etc. methods), `DeliverMax` is present in both API version 1 and version 2.
+  - On JSON RPC output, `Amount` is only present in API version 1 and _not_ in version 2.
+
+## Modifications to account_info response
+
+- `signer_lists` is returned in the root of the response. (In API version 1, it was nested under `account_data`.) ([#3770](https://github.com/XRPLF/rippled/pull/3770))
+- When using an invalid `signer_lists` value, the API now returns an "invalidParams" error. ([#4585](https://github.com/XRPLF/rippled/pull/4585))
+  - (`signer_lists` must be a boolean. In API version 1, strings were accepted and may return a normal response - i.e. as if `signer_lists` were `true`.)
+
+## Modifications to [account_tx](https://xrpl.org/account_tx.html#account_tx) response
+
+- Using `ledger_index_min`, `ledger_index_max`, and `ledger_index` returns `invalidParams` because if you use `ledger_index_min` or `ledger_index_max`, then it does not make sense to also specify `ledger_index`. In API version 1, no error was returned. ([#4571](https://github.com/XRPLF/rippled/pull/4571))
+  - The same applies for `ledger_index_min`, `ledger_index_max`, and `ledger_hash`. ([#4545](https://github.com/XRPLF/rippled/issues/4545#issuecomment-1565065579))
+- Using a `ledger_index_min` or `ledger_index_max` beyond the range of ledgers that the server has:
+  - returns `lgrIdxMalformed` in API version 2. Previously, in API version 1, no error was returned. ([#4288](https://github.com/XRPLF/rippled/issues/4288))
+- Attempting to use a non-boolean value (such as a string) for the `binary` or `forward` parameters returns `invalidParams` (`rpcINVALID_PARAMS`). Previously, in API version 1, no error was returned. ([#4620](https://github.com/XRPLF/rippled/pull/4620))

+# API Version 3
+
+API version 3 is currently a **beta API**. It requires enabling `[beta_rpc_api]` in the rippled configuration to use. To use this API, clients specify `"api_version" : 3` in each request.
+
+For info about how [API versioning](https://xrpl.org/request-formatting.html#api-versioning) works, including examples, please view the [XLS-22d spec](https://github.com/XRPLF/XRPL-Standards/discussions/54).

API versioning ensures existing integrations and users continue to receive existing behavior, while those that request a higher API version will experience new behavior.
+
+## Breaking Changes
+
+### Modifications to `amm_info`
+
+The order of error checks has been changed to provide more specific error messages. ([#4924](https://github.com/XRPLF/rippled/pull/4924))
+
+- **Before (API v2)**: When sending an invalid account or asset to `amm_info` while other parameters are not set as expected, the method returns a generic `rpcINVALID_PARAMS` error.
+- **After (API v3)**: The same scenario returns a more specific error: `rpcISSUE_MALFORMED` for malformed assets or `rpcACT_MALFORMED` for malformed accounts.
+
+### Modifications to `ledger_entry`
+
+Added support for string shortcuts to look up fixed-location ledger entries using the `"index"` parameter. ([#5644](https://github.com/XRPLF/rippled/pull/5644))
+
+In API version 3, the following string values can be used with the `"index"` parameter:
+
+- `"index": "amendments"` - Returns the `Amendments` ledger entry
+- `"index": "fee"` - Returns the `FeeSettings` ledger entry
+- `"index": "nunl"` - Returns the `NegativeUNL` ledger entry
+- `"index": "hashes"` - Returns the "short" `LedgerHashes` ledger entry (recent ledger hashes)
+
+These shortcuts are only available in API version 3 and later. In API versions 1 and 2, these string values would result in an error.

-If you are unfamiliar with Conan, then please read [this crash course](./docs/build/conan.md) or the official [Getting Started][3] walkthrough.
+#### Conan lockfile
 
-You'll need at least one Conan profile:
+To achieve reproducible dependencies, we use a [Conan lockfile](https://docs.conan.io/2/tutorial/versioning/lockfiles.html),
+which has to be updated every time dependencies change.
 
-   ```
-   conan profile new default --detect
-   ```
+Please see the [instructions on how to regenerate the lockfile](conan/lockfile/README.md).
 
-Update the compiler settings:
+#### Default profile
 
-   ```
-   conan profile update settings.compiler.cppstd=20 default
-   ```
+We recommend that you import the provided `conan/profiles/default` profile:
 
-Configure Conan (1.x only) to use recipe revisions:
-
-   ```
-   conan config set general.revisions_enabled=1
-   ```
-
-**Linux** developers will commonly have a default Conan [profile][] that compiles
-with GCC and links with libstdc++.
-If you are linking with libstdc++ (see profile setting `compiler.libcxx`),
-then you will need to choose the `libstdc++11` ABI:
-
-   ```
-   conan profile update settings.compiler.libcxx=libstdc++11 default
-   ```
-
-
-Ensure inter-operability between `boost::string_view` and `std::string_view` types:
-
-```
-conan profile update 'conf.tools.build:cxxflags+=["-DBOOST_BEAST_USE_STD_STRING_VIEW"]' default
-conan profile update 'env.CXXFLAGS="-DBOOST_BEAST_USE_STD_STRING_VIEW"' default
+```bash
+conan config install conan/profiles/ -tf $(conan config home)/profiles/
 ```
 
-If you have other flags in the `conf.tools.build` or `env.CXXFLAGS` sections, make sure to retain the existing flags and append the new ones. You can check them with:
-```
-conan profile show default
+You can check your Conan profile by running:
+
+```bash
+conan profile show
 ```
 
+#### Custom profile
 
-**Windows** developers may need to use the x64 native build tools.
-An easy way to do that is to run the shortcut "x64 Native Tools Command
-Prompt" for the version of Visual Studio that you have installed.
+If the default profile does not work for you and you do not yet have a Conan
+profile, you can create one by running:
 
-   Windows developers must also build `rippled` and its dependencies for the x64
-   architecture:
-
-   ```
-   conan profile update settings.arch=x86_64 default
-   ```
-
-### Multiple compilers
-
-When `/usr/bin/g++` exists on a platform, it is the default cpp compiler. This
-default works for some users.
-
-However, if this compiler cannot build rippled or its dependencies, then you can
-install another compiler and set Conan and CMake to use it.
-Update the `conf.tools.build:compiler_executables` setting in order to set the correct variables (`CMAKE_<LANG>_COMPILER`) in the
-generated CMake toolchain file.
-For example, on Ubuntu 20, you may have gcc at `/usr/bin/gcc` and g++ at `/usr/bin/g++`; if that is the case, you can select those compilers with:
-```
-conan profile update 'conf.tools.build:compiler_executables={"c": "/usr/bin/gcc", "cpp": "/usr/bin/g++"}' default
+```bash
+conan profile detect
 ```
 
-Replace `/usr/bin/gcc` and `/usr/bin/g++` with paths to the desired compilers.
+You may need to make changes to the profile to suit your environment. You can
+refer to the provided `conan/profiles/default` profile for inspiration, and you
+may also need to apply the required [tweaks](#conan-profile-tweaks) to this
+default profile.
 
-It should choose the compiler for dependencies as well,
-but not all of them have a Conan recipe that respects this setting (yet).
-For the rest, you can set these environment variables.
-Replace `<path>` with paths to the desired compilers:
+### Patched recipes
 
-- `conan profile update env.CC=<path> default`
-- `conan profile update env.CXX=<path> default`
+Occasionally, we need patched recipes or recipes not present in Conan Center.
+We maintain a fork of the Conan Center Index
+[here](https://github.com/XRPLF/conan-center-index/) containing the modified and newly added recipes.
 
-Export our [Conan recipe for Snappy](./external/snappy).
-It does not explicitly link the C++ standard library,
-which allows you to statically link it with GCC, if you want.
+To ensure our patched recipes are used, you must add our Conan remote at a
+higher index than the default Conan Center remote, so it is consulted first. You
+can do this by running:
 
-   ```
-   # Conan 1.x
-   conan export external/snappy snappy/1.1.10@
-   # Conan 2.x
-   conan export --version 1.1.10 external/snappy
-   ```
+```bash
+conan remote add --index 0 xrplf https://conan.ripplex.io
+```
 
-Export our [Conan recipe for RocksDB](./external/rocksdb).
-It does not override paths to dependencies when building with Visual Studio.
+Alternatively, you can pull our recipes from the repository and export them locally:
 
-   ```
-   # Conan 1.x
-   conan export external/rocksdb rocksdb/6.29.5@
-   # Conan 2.x
-   conan export --version 6.29.5 external/rocksdb
-   ```
+```bash
+# Define which recipes to export.
+recipes=('abseil' 'ed25519' 'grpc' 'm4' 'mpt-crypto' 'nudb' 'openssl' 'secp256k1' 'snappy' 'soci' 'wasm-xrplf' 'wasmi')
 
-Export our [Conan recipe for SOCI](./external/soci).
-It patches their CMake to correctly import its dependencies.
+# Selectively check out the recipes from our CCI fork.
+cd external
+mkdir -p conan-center-index
+cd conan-center-index
+git init
+git remote add origin git@github.com:XRPLF/conan-center-index.git
+git sparse-checkout init
+for recipe in "${recipes[@]}"; do
+  echo "Checking out recipe '${recipe}'..."
+  git sparse-checkout add recipes/${recipe}
+done
+git fetch origin master
+git checkout master
 
-   ```
-   # Conan 1.x
-   conan export external/soci soci/4.0.3@
-   # Conan 2.x
-   conan export --version 4.0.3 external/soci
-   ```
+./export_all.sh
+cd ../../
+```
 
-Export our [Conan recipe for NuDB](./external/nudb).
-It fixes some source files to add missing `#include`s.
+In the case we switch to a newer version of a dependency that still requires a
+patch or add a new dependency, it will be necessary for you to pull in the changes and re-export the
+updated dependencies with the newer version. However, if we switch to a newer
+version that no longer requires a patch, no action is required on your part, as
+the new recipe will be automatically pulled from the official Conan Center.
 
+> [!NOTE]
+> You might need to add `--lockfile=""` to your `conan install` command
+> to avoid automatic use of the existing `conan.lock` file when you run
+> `conan export` manually on your machine
+>
+> This is not recommended though, as you might end up using different revisions of recipes.
 
-   ```
-   # Conan 1.x
-   conan export external/nudb nudb/2.0.8@
-   # Conan 2.x
-   conan export --version 2.0.8 external/nudb

+### Conan profile tweaks
+
+#### Missing compiler version
+
+If you see an error similar to the following after running `conan profile show`:
+
+```bash
+ERROR: Invalid setting '17' is not a valid 'settings.compiler.version' value.
+Possible values are ['5.0', '5.1', '6.0', '6.1', '7.0', '7.3', '8.0', '8.1',
+'9.0', '9.1', '10.0', '11.0', '12.0', '13', '13.0', '13.1', '14', '14.0', '15',
+'15.0', '16', '16.0']
+Read "http://docs.conan.io/2/knowledge/faq.html#error-invalid-setting"
+```
+
+you need to add your compiler to the list of compiler versions in
+`$(conan config home)/settings_user.yml`, by adding the required version number(s)
+to the `version` array specific for your compiler. For example:
+
+```yaml
+compiler:
+  apple-clang:
+    version: ["17.0"]
+```
+
+#### Multiple compilers
+
+If you have multiple compilers installed, make sure to select the one to use in
+your default Conan configuration **before** running `conan profile detect`, by
+setting the `CC` and `CXX` environment variables.
+
+For example, if you are running MacOS and have [homebrew
+LLVM@18](https://formulae.brew.sh/formula/llvm@18), and want to use it as a
+compiler in the new Conan profile:
+
+```bash
+export CC=$(brew --prefix llvm@18)/bin/clang
+export CXX=$(brew --prefix llvm@18)/bin/clang++
+conan profile detect
+```
+
+You should also explicitly set the path to the compiler in the profile file,
+which helps to avoid errors when `CC` and/or `CXX` are set and disagree with the
+selected Conan profile. For example:
+
+```text
+[conf]
+tools.build:compiler_executables={'c':'/usr/bin/gcc','cpp':'/usr/bin/g++'}
+```
+
+#### Multiple profiles
+
+You can manage multiple Conan profiles in the directory
+`$(conan config home)/profiles`, for example renaming `default` to a different
+name and then creating a new `default` profile for a different compiler.
+
+#### Select language
+
+The default profile created by Conan will typically select different C++ dialect
+than C++20 used by this project. You should set `20` in the profile line
+starting with `compiler.cppstd=`. For example:
+
+```bash
+sed -i.bak -e 's|^compiler\.cppstd=.*$|compiler.cppstd=20|' $(conan config home)/profiles/default
+```
+
+#### Select standard library in Linux
+
+**Linux** developers will commonly have a default Conan [profile][] that
+compiles with GCC and links with libstdc++. If you are linking with libstdc++
+(see profile setting `compiler.libcxx`), then you will need to choose the
+`libstdc++11` ABI:
+
+```bash
+sed -i.bak -e 's|^compiler\.libcxx=.*$|compiler.libcxx=libstdc++11|' $(conan config home)/profiles/default
+```
+
+#### Select architecture and runtime in Windows
+
+**Windows** developers may need to use the x64 native build tools. An easy way
+to do that is to run the shortcut "x64 Native Tools Command Prompt" for the
+version of Visual Studio that you have installed.
+
+Windows developers must also build `xrpld` and its dependencies for the x64
+architecture:
+
+```bash
+sed -i.bak -e 's|^arch=.*$|arch=x86_64|' $(conan config home)/profiles/default
+```
+
+**Windows** developers also must select static runtime:
+
+```bash
+sed -i.bak -e 's|^compiler\.runtime=.*$|compiler.runtime=static|' $(conan config home)/profiles/default
+```
+
+#### Clang workaround for grpc
+
+If your compiler is clang, version 19 or later, or apple-clang, version 17 or
+later, you may encounter a compilation error while building the `grpc`
+dependency:
+
+```text
+In file included from .../lib/promise/try_seq.h:26:
+.../lib/promise/detail/basic_seq.h:499:38: error: a template argument list is expected after a name prefixed by the template keyword [-Wmissing-template-arg-list-after-template-kw]
+  499 |                     Traits::template CallSeqFactory(f_, *cur_, std::move(arg)));
+      |                                      ^
+```
+
+The workaround for this error is to add two lines to profile:
+
+```text
+[conf]
+tools.build:cxxflags=['-Wno-missing-template-arg-list-after-template-kw']
+```
+
+#### Workaround for gcc 12
+
+If your compiler is gcc, version 12, and you have enabled `werr` option, you may
+encounter a compilation error such as:
+
+```text
+/usr/include/c++/12/bits/char_traits.h:435:56: error: 'void* __builtin_memcpy(void*, const void*, long unsigned int)' accessing 9223372036854775810 or more bytes at offsets [2, 9223372036854775807] and 1 may overlap up to 9223372036854775813 bytes at offset -3 [-Werror=restrict]

+cc1plus: all warnings being treated as errors
+```
+
+The workaround for this error is to add two lines to your profile:
+
+```text
+[conf]
+tools.build:cxxflags=['-Wno-restrict']
+```
+
+#### Workaround for clang 16
+
+If your compiler is clang, version 16, you may encounter compilation error such
+as:
+
+```text
+In file included from .../boost/beast/websocket/stream.hpp:2857:
+.../boost/beast/websocket/impl/read.hpp:695:17: error: call to 'async_teardown' is ambiguous
+                async_teardown(impl.role, impl.stream(),
+                ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+```
+
+The workaround for this error is to add two lines to your profile:
+
+```text
+[conf]
+tools.build:cxxflags=['-DBOOST_ASIO_DISABLE_CONCEPTS']
+```
+
+### Set Up Ccache
+
+To speed up repeated compilations, we recommend that you install
+[ccache](https://ccache.dev), a tool that wraps your compiler so that it can
+cache build objects locally.
+
+#### Linux
+
+You can install it using the package manager, e.g. `sudo apt install ccache`
+(Ubuntu) or `sudo dnf install ccache` (RHEL).
+
+#### macOS
+
+You can install it using Homebrew, i.e. `brew install ccache`.
+
+#### Windows
+
+You can install it using Chocolatey, i.e. `choco install ccache`. If you already
+have Ccache installed, then `choco upgrade ccache` will update it to the latest
+version. However, if you see an error such as:
+
+```
+terminate called after throwing an instance of 'std::bad_alloc'
+      what():  std::bad_alloc
+C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Community\MSBuild\Microsoft\VC\v170\Microsoft.CppCommon.targets(617,5): error MSB6006: "cl.exe" exited with code 3.
+```
+
+then please install a specific version of Ccache that we know works, via: `choco
+install ccache --version 4.11.3 --allow-downgrade`.

 ## Troubleshooting
 
-
 ### Conan
 
 After any updates or changes to dependencies, you may need to do the following:
 
 1. Remove your build directory.
-2. Remove the Conan cache:
+2. Remove individual libraries from the Conan cache, e.g.
+
+   ```bash
+   conan remove 'grpc/*'
    ```
-   rm -rf ~/.conan/data
+
+   **or**
+
+   Remove all libraries from Conan cache:
+
+   ```bash
+   conan remove '*'
    ```
-4. Re-run [conan install](#build-and-test).
 
+3. Re-run [conan export](#patched-recipes) if needed.
+4. [Regenerate lockfile](#conan-lockfile).
+5. Re-run [conan install](#build-and-test).
 
-### no std::result_of
+#### ERROR: Package not resolved
 
-If your compiler version is recent enough to have removed `std::result_of` as
-part of C++20, e.g. Apple Clang 15.0, then you might need to add a preprocessor
-definition to your build.
+If you're seeing an error like `ERROR: Package 'snappy/1.1.10' not resolved: Unable to find 'snappy/1.1.10#968fef506ff261592ec30c574d4a7809%1756234314.246' in remotes.`,
+please add `xrplf` remote or re-run `conan export` for [patched recipes](#patched-recipes).
+
+### `protobuf/port_def.inc` file not found
+
+If `cmake --build .` results in an error due to a missing a protobuf file, then
+you might have generated CMake files for a different `build_type` than the
+`CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE` you passed to Conan.
 
 ```
-conan profile update 'options.boost:extra_b2_flags="define=BOOST_ASIO_HAS_STD_INVOKE_RESULT"' default

+   10 | #include <google/protobuf/port_def.inc>
+      |          ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+1 error generated.
 ```
 
+For example, if you want to build Debug:
 
-### call to 'async_teardown' is ambiguous
-
-If you are compiling with an early version of Clang 16, then you might hit
-a [regression][6] when compiling C++20 that manifests as an [error in a Boost
-header][7]. You can workaround it by adding this preprocessor definition:
-
-```
-conan profile update 'env.CXXFLAGS="-DBOOST_ASIO_DISABLE_CONCEPTS"' default
-conan profile update 'conf.tools.build:cxxflags+=["-DBOOST_ASIO_DISABLE_CONCEPTS"]' default
-```
-
-
-### recompile with -fPIC
-
-If you get a linker error suggesting that you recompile Boost with
-position-independent code, such as:
-
-```
-/usr/bin/ld.gold: error: /home/username/.conan/data/boost/1.77.0/_/_/package/.../lib/libboost_container.a(alloc_lib.o):
-  requires unsupported dynamic reloc 11; recompile with -fPIC
-```
-
-Conan most likely downloaded a bad binary distribution of the dependency.
-This seems to be a [bug][1] in Conan just for Boost 1.77.0 compiled with GCC
-for Linux. The solution is to build the dependency locally by passing
-`--build boost` when calling `conan install`.
-
-```
-conan install --build boost ...
-```
-
+1. For conan install, pass `--settings build_type=Debug`
+2. For cmake, pass `-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug`

-# Levelization
-
-Levelization is the term used to describe efforts to prevent rippled from
-having or creating cyclic dependencies.
-
-rippled code is organized into directories under `src/rippled` (and
-`src/test`) representing modules. The modules are intended to be
-organized into "tiers" or "levels" such that a module from one level can
-only include code from lower levels. Additionally, a module
-in one level should never include code in an `impl` folder of any level
-other than it's own.
-
-Unfortunately, over time, enforcement of levelization has been
-inconsistent, so the current state of the code doesn't necessarily
-reflect these rules. Whenever possible, developers should refactor any
-levelization violations they find (by moving files or individual
-classes). At the very least, don't make things worse.
-
-The table below summarizes the _desired_ division of modules, based on the
-state of the rippled code when it was created. The levels are numbered from
-the bottom up with the lower level, lower numbered, more independent
-modules listed first, and the higher level, higher numbered modules with
-more dependencies listed later.
-
-**tl;dr:** The modules listed first are more independent than the modules
-listed later.
-
-| Level / Tier | Module(s)                                     |
-|--------------|-----------------------------------------------|
-| 01           | ripple/beast ripple/unity
-| 02           | ripple/basics
-| 03           | ripple/json ripple/crypto
-| 04           | ripple/protocol
-| 05           | ripple/core ripple/conditions ripple/consensus ripple/resource ripple/server
-| 06           | ripple/peerfinder ripple/ledger ripple/nodestore ripple/net

-
-(Note that `test` levelization is *much* less important and *much* less
-strictly enforced than `ripple` levelization, other than the requirement
-that `test` code should *never* be included in `ripple` code.)
-
-## Validation
-
-The [levelization.sh](levelization.sh) script takes no parameters,
-reads no environment variables, and can be run from any directory,
-as long as it is in the expected location in the rippled repo.
-It can be run at any time from within a checked out repo, and will
-do an analysis of all the `#include`s in
-the rippled source. The only caveat is that it runs much slower
-under Windows than in Linux. It hasn't yet been tested under MacOS.
-It generates many files of [results](results):
-
-* `rawincludes.txt`: The raw dump of the `#includes`
-* `paths.txt`: A second dump grouping the source module
-  to the destination module, deduped, and with frequency counts.
-* `includes/`: A directory where each file represents a module and
-  contains a list of modules and counts that the module _includes_.
-* `includedby/`: Similar to `includes/`, but the other way around. Each
-  file represents a module and contains a list of modules and counts
-  that _include_ the module.
-* [`loops.txt`](results/loops.txt): A list of direct loops detected
-  between modules as they actually exist, as opposed to how they are
-  desired as described above. In a perfect repo, this file will be
-  empty.
-  This file is committed to the repo, and is used by the [levelization
-  Github workflow](../../.github/workflows/levelization.yml) to validate
-  that nothing changed.
-* [`ordering.txt`](results/ordering.txt): A list showing relationships
-  between modules where there are no loops as they actually exist, as
-  opposed to how they are desired as described above.
-  This file is committed to the repo, and is used by the [levelization
-  Github workflow](../../.github/workflows/levelization.yml) to validate
-  that nothing changed.
-* [`levelization.yml`](../../.github/workflows/levelization.yml)
-  Github Actions workflow to test that levelization loops haven't
-  changed.  Unfortunately, if changes are detected, it can't tell if
-  they are improvements or not, so if you have resolved any issues or
-  done anything else to improve levelization, run `levelization.sh`,
-  and commit the updated results.
-
-The  `loops.txt` and `ordering.txt` files relate the modules
-using comparison signs, which indicate the number of times each
-module is included in the other.
-
-* `A > B` means that A should probably be at a higher level than B,
-  because B is included in A significantly more than A is included in B.
-  These results can be included in both `loops.txt` and `ordering.txt`.
-  Because `ordering.txt`only includes relationships where B is not
-  included in A at all, it will only include these types of results.
-* `A ~= B` means that A and B are included in each other a different
-  number of times, but the values are so close that the script can't
-  definitively say that one should be above the other. These results
-  will only be included in `loops.txt`.
-* `A == B` means that A and B include each other the same number of
-  times, so the script has no clue which should be higher. These results
-  will only be included in `loops.txt`.
-
-The committed files hide the detailed values intentionally, to
-prevent false alarms and merging issues, and because it's easy to
-get those details locally.
-
-1. Run `levelization.sh`
-2. Grep the modules in `paths.txt`.
-   * For example, if a cycle is found `A ~= B`, simply `grep -w
-     A Builds/levelization/results/paths.txt | grep -w B`

+## What is Distributed Tracing?
+
+Distributed tracing is a method for tracking data objects as they flow through distributed systems. In a network like XRP Ledger, a single transaction touches multiple independent nodes—each with no shared memory or logging. Distributed tracing connects these dots.
+
+**Without tracing:** You see isolated logs on each node with no way to correlate them.
+
+**With tracing:** You see the complete journey of a transaction or an event across all nodes it touched.
+

+
+---
+
+## Core Concepts
+
+### 1. Trace
+
+A **trace** represents the entire journey of a request through the system. It has a unique `trace_id` that stays constant across all nodes.
+
+```
+Trace ID: abc123
+├── Node A: received transaction
+├── Node B: relayed transaction
+├── Node C: included in consensus
+└── Node D: applied to ledger
+```
+
+### 2. Span
+
+A **span** represents a single unit of work within a trace. Each span has:
+
+| Attribute        | Description                      | Example                    |
+| ---------------- | -------------------------------- | -------------------------- |
+| `trace_id`       | Identifies the trace             | `event123`                 |
+| `span_id`        | Unique identifier                | `span456`                  |
+| `parent_span_id` | Parent span (if any)             | `p_span123`                |
+| `name`           | Operation name                   | `rpc.submit`               |
+| `start_time`     | When work began (local time)     | `2024-01-15T10:30:00Z`     |
+| `end_time`       | When work completed (local time) | `2024-01-15T10:30:00.050Z` |
+| `attributes`     | Key-value metadata               | `tx.hash=ABC...`           |
+| `status`         | OK, ERROR MSG                    | `OK`                       |
+
+### 3. Trace Context
+
+**Trace context** is the data that propagates between services to link spans together. It contains:
+
+- `trace_id` - The trace this span belongs to
+- `span_id` - The current span (becomes parent for child spans)
+- `trace_flags` - Sampling decisions
+
+---
+
+## How Spans Form a Trace
+
+Spans have parent-child relationships forming a tree structure:
+
+```mermaid
+flowchart TB
+    subgraph trace["Trace: abc123"]
+        A["tx.submit<br/>span_id: 001<br/>50ms"] --> B["tx.validate<br/>span_id: 002<br/>5ms"]
+        A --> C["tx.relay<br/>span_id: 003<br/>10ms"]
+        A --> D["tx.apply<br/>span_id: 004<br/>30ms"]
+        D --> E["ledger.update<br/>span_id: 005<br/>20ms"]
+    end
+
+    style A fill:#0d47a1,stroke:#082f6a,color:#ffffff
+    style B fill:#1b5e20,stroke:#0d3d14,color:#ffffff
+    style C fill:#1b5e20,stroke:#0d3d14,color:#ffffff
+    style D fill:#1b5e20,stroke:#0d3d14,color:#ffffff
+    style E fill:#bf360c,stroke:#8c2809,color:#ffffff
+```
+
+**Reading the diagram:**
+
+- **tx.submit (blue, root)**: The top-level span representing the entire transaction submission; all other spans are its descendants.
+- **tx.validate, tx.relay, tx.apply (green)**: Direct children of tx.submit, representing the three main stages -- validation, relay to peers, and application to the ledger.
+- **ledger.update (red)**: A grandchild span nested under tx.apply, representing the actual ledger state mutation triggered by applying the transaction.
+- **Arrows (parent to child)**: Each arrow indicates a parent-child span relationship where the parent's completion depends on the child finishing.
+
+The same trace visualized as a **timeline (Gantt chart)**:
+
+```
+Time →   0ms    10ms    20ms    30ms    40ms    50ms
+         ├───────────────────────────────────────────┤

+ledger   │                         │▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓│
+```
+
+---
+
+## Span Relationships
+
+Spans don't always form simple parent-child trees. Distributed tracing defines several relationship types to capture different causal patterns:
+
+### 1. Parent-Child (ChildOf)
+
+The default relationship. The parent span **depends on** or **contains** the child span. The child runs within the scope of the parent.
+
+```
+tx.submit (parent)
+├── tx.validate (child)     ← parent waits for this
+├── tx.relay (child)        ← parent waits for this
+└── tx.apply (child)        ← parent waits for this
+```
+
+**When to use:** Synchronous calls, nested operations, any case where the parent's completion depends on the child.
+
+### 2. Follows-From
+
+A causal relationship where the first span **triggers** the second, but does **not wait** for it. The originator fires and moves on.
+
+```
+Time →
+
+tx.receive [=======]
+                     ↓ triggers (follows-from)
+              tx.relay   [===========]   ← runs independently
+```
+
+**When to use:** Asynchronous jobs, queued work, fire-and-forget patterns. For example, a node receives a transaction and queues it for relay — the relay span _follows from_ the receive span but the receiver doesn't wait for relaying to complete.
+
+> **OpenTracing** defined `FollowsFrom` as a first-class reference type alongside `ChildOf`.
+> **OpenTelemetry** represents this using **Span Links** with descriptive attributes instead (see below).
+
+### 3. Span Links (Cross-Trace and Non-Hierarchical)
+
+Links connect spans that are **causally related but not in a parent-child hierarchy**. Unlike parent-child, links can cross trace boundaries.
+
+```
+Trace A                          Trace B
+──────                           ──────
+batch.schedule                   batch.execute
+├─ item.enqueue (span X)    ┌──► process.item
+├─ item.enqueue (span Y) ───┤    (links to X, Y, Z)
+├─ item.enqueue (span Z)    └──►
+```
+
+**Use cases:**
+
+| Pattern              | Description                                                                 |
+| -------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| **Batch processing** | A batch span links back to all individual spans that contributed to it      |
+| **Fan-in**           | An aggregation span links to the multiple producer spans it merges          |
+| **Fan-out**          | Multiple downstream spans link back to the single span that triggered them  |
+| **Async handoff**    | A deferred job links back to the request that queued it (follows-from)      |
+| **Cross-trace**      | Correlating spans across independent traces (e.g., retries, related events) |
+
+**Link structure:** Each link carries the target span's context plus optional attributes:
+
+```
+Link {
+    trace_id:   <target trace>
+    span_id:    <target span>
+    attributes: { "link.description": "triggered by batch scheduler" }
+}
+```

+
+## Trace ID Generation
+
+A `trace_id` is a 128-bit (16-byte) identifier that groups all spans belonging to one logical operation. How it's generated determines how easily you can find and correlate traces later.
+
+### General Approaches
+
+#### 1. Random (W3C Default)
+
+Generate a random 128-bit ID when a trace starts. Standard approach for most services.
+
+```
+trace_id = random_128_bits()
+```
+
+| Pros                        | Cons                                          |
+| --------------------------- | --------------------------------------------- |
+| Simple, standard            | No natural correlation to domain events       |
+| Guaranteed unique per trace | If propagation is lost, trace is broken       |
+| Works with all OTel tooling | "Find trace for TX abc" requires index lookup |
+
+#### 2. Deterministic (Derived from Domain Data)
+
+Compute the trace_id from a hash of a natural identifier. Every node independently derives the **same** trace_id for the same event.
+
+```
+trace_id = SHA-256(domain_identifier)[0:16]   // truncate to 128 bits
+```
+
+| Pros                                                | Cons                                                       |
+| --------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------- |
+| Propagation-resilient — same ID computed everywhere | Same event processed twice (retry) shares trace_id         |
+| Natural search — domain ID maps directly to trace   | Non-standard (tooling assumes random)                      |
+| No coordination needed between nodes                | 256→128 bit truncation (collision risk negligible at ~2⁶⁴) |
+
+#### 3. Hybrid (Deterministic Prefix + Random Suffix)
+
+First 8 bytes derived from domain data, last 8 bytes random.
+
+```
+trace_id = SHA-256(domain_identifier)[0:8] || random_64_bits()
+```
+
+| Pros                                        | Cons                                     |
+| ------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------- |
+| Prefix search: "find all traces for TX abc" | Must propagate to maintain full trace_id |
+| Unique per processing instance              | More complex generation logic            |
+| Retries get distinct trace_ids              | Partial correlation only (prefix match)  |
+
+### XRPL Workflow Analysis
+
+XRPL has a unique advantage: its core workflows produce **globally unique 256-bit hashes** that are known on every node. This makes deterministic trace_id generation practical in ways most systems can't achieve.
+
+#### Natural Identifiers by Workflow
+
+| Workflow            | Natural Identifier                | Size       | Known at Start?               | Same on All Nodes?               |
+| ------------------- | --------------------------------- | ---------- | ----------------------------- | -------------------------------- |
+| **Transaction**     | Transaction hash (`tid_`)         | 256-bit    | Yes — computed before signing | Yes — hash of canonical tx data  |
+| **Consensus round** | Previous ledger hash + ledger seq | 256+32 bit | Yes — known when round opens  | Yes — all validators agree       |
+| **Validation**      | Ledger hash being validated       | 256-bit    | Yes — from consensus result   | Yes — same closed ledger         |
+| **Ledger catch-up** | Target ledger hash                | 256-bit    | Yes — we know what to fetch   | Yes — identifies ledger globally |
+
+#### Where These Identifiers Live in Code
+
+```
+Transaction:     STTx::getTransactionID()     → uint256 tid_
+                 TMTransaction::rawTransaction → recompute hash from bytes
+
+Consensus:       ConsensusProposal::prevLedger_ → uint256 (previous ledger hash)
+                 ConsensusProposal::position_   → uint256 (TxSet hash)
+                 LedgerHeader::seq              → uint32_t (ledger sequence)
+
+Validation:      STValidation::getLedgerHash()  → uint256
+                 STValidation::getNodeID()      → NodeID (160-bit)
+
+Ledger fetch:    InboundLedger constructor      → uint256 hash, uint32_t seq
+                 TMGetLedger::ledgerHash        → bytes (uint256)
+```
+
+### Recommended Strategy: Workflow-Scoped Deterministic
+
+Each workflow type derives its trace_id from its natural domain identifier:
+
+```
+Transaction trace:   trace_id = SHA-256("tx"    || tx_hash)[0:16]
+Consensus trace:     trace_id = SHA-256("cons"  || prev_ledger_hash || ledger_seq)[0:16]
+Ledger catch-up:     trace_id = SHA-256("fetch" || target_ledger_hash)[0:16]
+```
+
+The string prefix (`"tx"`, `"cons"`, `"fetch"`) prevents collisions between workflows that might share underlying hashes.
+
+**Why this works for XRPL:**
+
+1. **Propagation-resilient** — Even if a P2P message drops trace context, every node independently computes the same trace_id from the same tx_hash or ledger_hash. Spans still correlate.
+
+2. **Zero-cost search** — "Show me the trace for transaction ABC" becomes a direct lookup: compute `SHA-256("tx" || ABC)[0:16]` and query. No secondary index needed.
+
+3. **Cross-workflow linking via Span Links** — A consensus trace links to individual transaction traces. A validation span links to the consensus trace. This connects the full picture without forcing everything into one giant trace.
+
+### Cross-Workflow Correlation
+
+Each workflow gets its own trace. Span Links tie them together:

+**Reading the diagram:**
+
+- **Transaction Trace (blue)**: An independent trace whose `trace_id` is deterministically derived from the transaction hash. Contains receive, validate, and relay spans.
+- **Consensus Trace (green)**: An independent trace whose `trace_id` is derived from the previous ledger hash and sequence number. Covers the open, propose, and accept phases.
+- **Validation (red)**: Validation spans live within the consensus trace (not a separate trace). They are created after the accept phase completes.
+- **Catch-Up Trace (purple)**: An independent trace for ledger acquisition, derived from the target ledger hash. Used when a node is behind and fetching missing ledgers.
+- **Dotted arrows (span links)**: Cross-trace correlations. Consensus links to transaction traces it included; catch-up links to the consensus trace that produced the target ledger.
+- **Solid arrow (C3 to V1)**: A parent-child relationship -- validation spans are direct children of the consensus accept span within the same trace.
+
+**How a query flows:**
+
+```
+"Why was TX abc slow?"
+  1. Compute trace_id = SHA-256("tx" || abc)[0:16]
+  2. Find transaction trace → see it was included in consensus round N
+  3. Follow span link → consensus trace for round N
+  4. See which phase was slow (propose? accept?)
+  5. If a node was catching up, follow link → catch-up trace
+```
+
+### Trade-offs to Consider
+
+| Concern                       | Mitigation                                                                                                                    |
+| ----------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| **Retries get same trace_id** | Add `attempt` attribute to root span; spans have unique span_ids and timestamps                                               |
+| **256→128 bit truncation**    | Birthday-bound collision at ~2⁶⁴ operations — negligible for XRPL's throughput                                                |
+| **Non-standard generation**   | OTel spec allows any 16-byte non-zero value; tooling works on the hex string                                                  |
+| **Hash computation cost**     | SHA-256 is ~0.3μs per call; XRPL already computes these hashes for other purposes                                             |
+| **Late-binding identifiers**  | Ledger hash isn't known until after consensus — validation spans use ledger_seq as fallback, then link to the consensus trace |
+

+
+## Distributed Traces Across Nodes
+
+In distributed systems like rippled, traces span **multiple independent nodes**. The trace context must be propagated in network messages:
+
+```mermaid
+sequenceDiagram
+    participant Client
+    participant NodeA as Node A
+    participant NodeB as Node B
+    participant NodeC as Node C
+
+    Client->>NodeA: Submit TX<br/>(no trace context)
+
+    Note over NodeA: Creates new trace<br/>trace_id: abc123<br/>span: tx.receive
+
+    NodeA->>NodeB: Relay TX<br/>(trace_id: abc123, parent: 001)
+
+    Note over NodeB: Creates child span<br/>span: tx.relay<br/>parent_span_id: 001
+
+    NodeA->>NodeC: Relay TX<br/>(trace_id: abc123, parent: 001)
+
+    Note over NodeC: Creates child span<br/>span: tx.relay<br/>parent_span_id: 001
+
+    Note over NodeA,NodeC: All spans share trace_id: abc123<br/>enabling correlation across nodes
+```
+
+**Reading the diagram:**
+
+- **Client**: The external entity that submits a transaction. It does not carry trace context -- the trace originates at the first node.
+- **Node A**: The entry point that creates a new trace (trace_id: abc123) and the root span `tx.receive`. It relays the transaction to peers with trace context attached.
+- **Node B and Node C**: Peer nodes that receive the relayed transaction along with the propagated trace context. Each creates a child span under Node A's span, preserving the same `trace_id`.
+- **Arrows with trace context**: The relay messages carry `trace_id` and `parent_span_id`, allowing each downstream node to link its spans back to the originating span on Node A.
+
+---
+
+## Context Propagation
+
+For traces to work across nodes, **trace context must be propagated** in messages.
+
+### What's in the Context (~26 bytes)
+
+| Field         | Size     | Description                                             |
+| ------------- | -------- | ------------------------------------------------------- |
+| `trace_id`    | 16 bytes | Identifies the entire trace (constant across all nodes) |
+| `span_id`     | 8 bytes  | The sender's current span (becomes parent on receiver)  |
+| `trace_flags` | 1 byte   | Sampling decision (bit 0 = sampled; bits 1-7 reserved)  |
+| `trace_state` | variable | Optional vendor-specific data (typically omitted)       |
+
+### How span_id Changes at Each Hop
+
+Only **one** `span_id` travels in the context - the sender's current span. Each node:
+
+1. Extracts the received `span_id` and uses it as the `parent_span_id`
+2. Creates a **new** `span_id` for its own span
+3. Sends its own `span_id` as the parent when forwarding
+
+```
+Node A                      Node B                      Node C
+──────                      ──────                      ──────
+
+Span AAA                    Span BBB                    Span CCC
+   │                           │                           │
+   ▼                           ▼                           ▼
+Context out:                Context out:                Context out:
+├─ trace_id: abc123         ├─ trace_id: abc123         ├─ trace_id: abc123
+├─ span_id: AAA ──────────► ├─ span_id: BBB ──────────► ├─ span_id: CCC ──────►
+└─ flags: 01                └─ flags: 01                └─ flags: 01
+                               │                           │
+                          parent = AAA               parent = BBB
+```
+
+The `trace_id` stays constant, but `span_id` **changes at every hop** to maintain the parent-child chain.
+
+### Propagation Formats
+
+There are two patterns:
+
+### HTTP/RPC Headers (W3C Trace Context)
+
+```
+traceparent: 00-4bf92f3577b34da6a3ce929d0e0e4736-00f067aa0ba902b7-01
+             │  │                                │                │
+             │  │                                │                └── Flags (sampled)
+             │  │                                └── Parent span ID (16 hex)
+             │  └── Trace ID (32 hex)
+             └── Version
+```
+
+### Protocol Buffers (rippled P2P messages)
+
+```protobuf
+message TMTransaction {
+    bytes rawTransaction = 1;
+    // ... existing fields ...
+
+    // Trace context extension
+    bytes trace_parent = 100;  // W3C traceparent
+    bytes trace_state = 101;   // W3C tracestate
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## Sampling
+
+Not every trace needs to be recorded. **Sampling** reduces overhead:
+
+### Head Sampling (at trace start)
+
+```
+Request arrives → Random 10% chance → Record or skip entire trace
+```
+
+- ✅ Low overhead
+- ❌ May miss interesting traces
+
+### Tail Sampling (after trace completes)
+
+```
+Trace completes → Collector evaluates:
+                  - Error? → KEEP
+                  - Slow? → KEEP
+                  - Normal? → Sample 10%
+```
+
+- ✅ Never loses important traces
+- ❌ Higher memory usage at collector
+
+---

+
+**Reading the diagram:**
+
+- **Core Services (blue)**: The entry points into rippled -- RPC Server handles client requests, Overlay manages peer-to-peer networking, Consensus drives agreement, and ValidatorList manages trusted validators.
+- **JobQueue (center)**: The asynchronous thread pool that decouples Core Services from the Processing and Application layers. All work flows through it.
+- **Processing Layer (green)**: Core business logic -- NetworkOPs processes transactions, LedgerMaster manages ledger state, NodeStore handles persistence, and InboundLedgers synchronizes missing data.
+- **Application Services (purple)**: Higher-level features -- PathFinding computes payment routes, TxQ manages fee-based queuing, and LoadManager tracks server load.
+- **Existing Observability (orange)**: The current monitoring stack (PerfLog, Insight, Journal logging) that OpenTelemetry will complement, not replace.
+- **Arrows (Services to JobQueue to layers)**: Work originates at Core Services, is enqueued onto the JobQueue, and dispatched to Processing or Application layers for execution.

+## 1.3 Transaction Flow Diagram
+
+Transaction flow spans multiple nodes in the network. Each node creates linked spans to form a distributed trace:
+
+```mermaid
+sequenceDiagram
+    participant Client
+    participant PeerA as Peer A (Receive)
+    participant PeerB as Peer B (Relay)
+    participant PeerC as Peer C (Validate)
+
+    Client->>PeerA: 1. Submit TX
+
+    rect rgb(230, 245, 255)
+        Note over PeerA: tx.receive SPAN START
+        PeerA->>PeerA: HashRouter Deduplication
+        PeerA->>PeerA: tx.validate (child span)
+    end
+
+    PeerA->>PeerB: 2. Relay TX (with trace ctx)

+
+    PeerB->>PeerC: 3. Relay TX

+        PeerC->>PeerC: tx.process
+    end
+
+    Note over Client,PeerC: DISTRIBUTED TRACE (same trace_id: abc123)
+```
+
+**Reading the diagram:**
+
+- **Client**: The external entity that submits a transaction to Peer A. It has no trace context -- the trace starts at the first node.
+- **Peer A (Receive)**: The entry node that creates the root span `tx.receive`, runs HashRouter deduplication to avoid processing duplicates, and creates a child `tx.validate` span.
+- **Peer A to Peer B arrow**: The relay message carries trace context (trace_id + parent span_id), enabling Peer B to create a linked span under the same trace.
+- **Peer B (Relay)**: Receives the transaction and trace context, creates a `tx.receive` span linked to Peer A's trace, then relays onward.
+- **Peer C (Validate)**: Final hop in this example. Creates a linked `tx.receive` span and runs `tx.process` to fully process the transaction.
+- **Blue rectangles**: Highlight the span boundaries on each node, showing where instrumentation creates and closes spans.

+## 1.4 Consensus Round Flow
+
+Consensus rounds are multi-phase operations that benefit significantly from tracing:
+
+```mermaid
+flowchart TB
+    subgraph round["consensus.round (root span)"]
+        attrs["Attributes:<br/>xrpl.consensus.ledger.seq = 12345678<br/>xrpl.consensus.mode = proposing<br/>xrpl.consensus.proposers = 35"]
+
+        subgraph open["consensus.phase.open"]
+            open_desc["Duration: ~3s<br/>Waiting for transactions"]
+        end

+```
+
+**Reading the diagram:**
+
+- **consensus.round (orange, root span)**: The top-level span encompassing the entire consensus round, with attributes like ledger sequence, mode, and proposer count.
+- **consensus.phase.open (blue)**: The first phase where the node waits (~3s) to collect incoming transactions before proposing.
+- **consensus.phase.establish (green)**: The negotiation phase where validators exchange proposals, resolve disputes, and converge on a transaction set. Child spans track each proposal received/sent and each dispute resolved.
+- **consensus.phase.accept (pink)**: The final phase where the agreed transaction set is applied, a new ledger is built, and the ledger is validated. Child spans cover `ledger.build` and `ledger.validate`.
+- **Arrows (open to establish to accept)**: The sequential flow through the three consensus phases. Each phase must complete before the next begins.

+
+## 1.5 RPC Request Flow
+
+> **WS** = WebSocket
+
+RPC requests support W3C Trace Context headers for distributed tracing across services:
+
+```mermaid
+flowchart TB
+    subgraph request["rpc.request (root span)"]
+        http["HTTP Request — POST /<br/>traceparent:<br/>00-abc123...-def456...-01"]
+
+        attrs["Attributes:<br/>http.method = POST<br/>net.peer.ip = 192.168.1.100<br/>xrpl.rpc.command = submit"]
+
+        subgraph enqueue["jobqueue.enqueue"]
+            job_attr["xrpl.job.type = jtCLIENT_RPC"]
+        end
+
+        subgraph command["rpc.command.submit"]
+            cmd_attrs["xrpl.rpc.version = 2<br/>xrpl.rpc.role = user"]
+            cmd_children["├── tx.deserialize<br/>├── tx.validate_local<br/>└── tx.submit_to_network"]
+        end
+
+        response["Response: 200 OK<br/>Duration: 45ms"]
+
+        http --> attrs
+        attrs --> enqueue
+        enqueue --> command
+        command --> response
+    end
+
+    style request fill:#2e7d32,stroke:#1b5e20,color:#ffffff
+    style enqueue fill:#1565c0,stroke:#0d47a1,color:#ffffff
+    style command fill:#e65100,stroke:#bf360c,color:#ffffff
+```
+
+**Reading the diagram:**
+
+- **rpc.request (green, root span)**: The outermost span representing the full RPC request lifecycle, from HTTP receipt to response. Carries the W3C `traceparent` header for distributed tracing.
+- **HTTP Request node**: Shows the incoming POST request with its `traceparent` header and extracted attributes (method, peer IP, command name).
+- **jobqueue.enqueue (blue)**: The span covering the asynchronous handoff from the RPC thread to the JobQueue worker thread. The trace context is preserved across this async boundary.
+- **rpc.command.submit (orange)**: The span for the actual command execution, with child spans for deserialization, local validation, and network submission.
+- **Response node**: The final output with HTTP status and total duration, marking the end of the root span.
+- **Arrows (top to bottom)**: The sequential processing pipeline -- receive request, extract attributes, enqueue job, execute command, return response.

+
+### 1.8.5 Developer Debugging Workflow
+
+1. **Find Transaction**: Query by `xrpl.tx.hash` to get full trace
+2. **Identify Bottleneck**: Look at span durations to find slowest component
+3. **Check Attributes**: Review `xrpl.tx.validity`, `xrpl.rpc.status` for errors
+4. **Correlate Logs**: Use `trace_id` to find related PerfLog entries
+5. **Compare Nodes**: Filter by `service.instance.id` to compare behavior across nodes

+
+**Reading the diagram:**
+
+- **rippled Nodes (blue)**: The source of telemetry data. Each rippled node exports spans via OTLP/gRPC on port 4317.
+- **OpenTelemetry Collector (red)**: The central aggregation point that receives spans from all nodes. Can run as a sidecar (per-node) or standalone (shared). Handles batching, filtering, and routing.
+- **Observability Backends (green)**: The storage and visualization destinations. Tempo is the recommended backend for both development and production, and Elastic APM is an alternative. The Collector routes to one or more backends.
+- **Arrows (nodes to collector to backends)**: The data pipeline -- spans flow from nodes to the Collector over gRPC, then the Collector fans out to the configured backends.
+
+### 2.2.1 OTLP/gRPC (Recommended)

+
+### 2.4.4 Privacy & Sensitive Data Policy
+
+> **PII** = Personally Identifiable Information
+
+OpenTelemetry instrumentation is designed to collect **operational metadata only**, never sensitive content.
+
+#### Data NOT Collected
+
+The following data is explicitly **excluded** from telemetry collection:
+
+| Excluded Data           | Reason                                    |
+| ----------------------- | ----------------------------------------- |
+| **Private Keys**        | Never exposed; not relevant to tracing    |
+| **Account Balances**    | Financial data; privacy sensitive         |
+| **Transaction Amounts** | Financial data; privacy sensitive         |
+| **Raw TX Payloads**     | May contain sensitive memo/data fields    |
+| **Personal Data**       | No PII collected                          |
+| **IP Addresses**        | Configurable; excluded by default in prod |
+
+#### Privacy Protection Mechanisms
+
+| Mechanism                     | Description                                                               |
+| ----------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| **Account Hashing**           | `xrpl.tx.account` is hashed at collector level before storage             |
+| **Configurable Redaction**    | Sensitive fields can be excluded via `[telemetry]` config section         |
+| **Sampling**                  | Only 10% of traces recorded by default, reducing data exposure            |
+| **Local Control**             | Node operators have full control over what gets exported                  |
+| **No Raw Payloads**           | Transaction content is never recorded, only metadata (hash, type, result) |
+| **Collector-Level Filtering** | Additional redaction/hashing can be configured at OTel Collector          |
+
+#### Collector-Level Data Protection
+
+The OpenTelemetry Collector can be configured to hash or redact sensitive attributes before export:
+
+```yaml
+processors:
+  attributes:
+    actions:
+      # Hash account addresses before storage
+      - key: xrpl.tx.account
+        action: hash
+      # Remove IP addresses entirely
+      - key: xrpl.peer.address
+        action: delete
+      # Redact specific fields
+      - key: xrpl.rpc.params
+        action: delete
+```
+
+#### Configuration Options for Privacy
+
+In `rippled.cfg`, operators can control data collection granularity:
+
+```ini
+[telemetry]
+enabled=1
+
+# Disable collection of specific components
+trace_transactions=1
+trace_consensus=1
+trace_rpc=1
+trace_peer=0          # Disable peer tracing (high volume, includes addresses)
+
+# Redact specific attributes
+redact_account=1      # Hash account addresses before export
+redact_peer_address=1 # Remove peer IP addresses
+```
+
+> **Note**: The `redact_account` configuration in `rippled.cfg` controls SDK-level redaction before export, while collector-level filtering (see [Collector-Level Data Protection](#collector-level-data-protection) above) provides an additional defense-in-depth layer. Both can operate independently.
+
+> **Key Principle**: Telemetry collects **operational metadata** (timing, counts, hashes) — never **sensitive content** (keys, balances, amounts, raw payloads).
+

+
+## 2.5 Context Propagation Design
+
+> **WS** = WebSocket
+
+### 2.5.1 Propagation Boundaries
+
+```mermaid
+flowchart TB
+    subgraph http["HTTP/WebSocket (RPC)"]
+        w3c["W3C Trace Context Headers:<br/>traceparent:<br/>00-trace_id-span_id-flags<br/>tracestate: rippled=..."]
+    end
+
+    subgraph protobuf["Protocol Buffers (P2P)"]
+        proto["message TraceContext {<br/>  bytes trace_id = 1;  // 16 bytes<br/>  bytes span_id = 2;   // 8 bytes<br/>  uint32 trace_flags = 3;<br/>  string trace_state = 4;<br/>}"]
+    end
+
+    subgraph jobqueue["JobQueue (Internal Async)"]
+        job["Context captured at job creation,<br/>restored at execution<br/><br/>class Job {<br/>  otel::context::Context<br/>    traceContext_;<br/>};"]

+    style protobuf fill:#1b5e20,stroke:#0d3d14,color:#ffffff
+    style jobqueue fill:#bf360c,stroke:#8c2809,color:#ffffff
+```
+
+**Reading the diagram:**
+
+- **HTTP/WebSocket - RPC (blue)**: For client-facing RPC requests, trace context is propagated using the W3C `traceparent` header. This is the standard approach and works with any OTel-compatible client.
+- **Protocol Buffers - P2P (green)**: For peer-to-peer messages between rippled nodes, trace context is embedded as a protobuf `TraceContext` message carrying trace_id, span_id, flags, and optional trace_state.
+- **JobQueue - Internal Async (red)**: For asynchronous work within a single node, the OTel context is captured when a job is created and restored when the job executes on a worker thread. This bridges the async gap so spans remain linked.
+
+---
+
+## 2.6 Integration with Existing Observability
+
+> **OTLP** = OpenTelemetry Protocol | **WS** = WebSocket
+
+### 2.6.1 Existing Frameworks Comparison
+
+rippled already has two observability mechanisms. OpenTelemetry complements (not replaces) them:
+
+| Aspect                | PerfLog                       | Beast Insight (StatsD)       | OpenTelemetry             |
+| --------------------- | ----------------------------- | ---------------------------- | ------------------------- |
+| **Type**              | Logging                       | Metrics                      | Distributed Tracing       |
+| **Data**              | JSON log entries              | Counters, gauges, histograms | Spans with context        |
+| **Scope**             | Single node                   | Single node                  | **Cross-node**            |
+| **Output**            | `perf.log` file               | StatsD server                | OTLP Collector            |
+| **Question answered** | "What happened on this node?" | "How many? How fast?"        | "What was the journey?"   |
+| **Correlation**       | By timestamp                  | By metric name               | By `trace_id`             |
+| **Overhead**          | Low (file I/O)                | Low (UDP packets)            | Low-Medium (configurable) |
+
+### 2.6.2 What Each Framework Does Best
+
+#### PerfLog
+
+- **Purpose**: Detailed local event logging for RPC and job execution
+- **Strengths**:
+  - Rich JSON output with timing data
+  - Already integrated in RPC handlers
+  - File-based, no external dependencies
+- **Limitations**:
+  - Single-node only (no cross-node correlation)
+  - No parent-child relationships between events
+  - Manual log parsing required
+
+```json
+// Example PerfLog entry
+{
+  "time": "2024-01-15T10:30:00.123Z",
+  "method": "submit",
+  "duration_us": 1523,
+  "result": "tesSUCCESS"
+}
+```
+
+#### Beast Insight (StatsD)
+
+- **Purpose**: Real-time metrics for monitoring dashboards
+- **Strengths**:
+  - Aggregated metrics (counters, gauges, histograms)
+  - Low overhead (UDP, fire-and-forget)
+  - Good for alerting thresholds
+- **Limitations**:
+  - No request-level detail
+  - No causal relationships
+  - Single-node perspective
+
+```cpp
+// Example StatsD usage in rippled
+insight.increment("rpc.submit.count");
+insight.gauge("ledger.age", age);
+insight.timing("consensus.round", duration);
+```
+
+#### OpenTelemetry (NEW)
+
+- **Purpose**: Distributed request tracing across nodes
+- **Strengths**:
+  - **Cross-node correlation** via `trace_id`
+  - Parent-child span relationships
+  - Rich attributes per span
+  - Industry standard (CNCF)
+- **Limitations**:
+  - Requires collector infrastructure
+  - Higher complexity than logging
+
+```cpp
+// Example OpenTelemetry span
+auto span = telemetry.startSpan("tx.relay");
+span->SetAttribute("tx.hash", hash);
+span->SetAttribute("peer.id", peerId);
+// Span automatically linked to parent via context
+```
+
+### 2.6.3 When to Use Each
+
+| Scenario                                | PerfLog    | StatsD | OpenTelemetry |
+| --------------------------------------- | ---------- | ------ | ------------- |
+| "How many TXs per second?"              | ❌         | ✅     | ✅            |
+| "What's the p99 RPC latency?"           | ❌         | ✅     | ✅            |
+| "Why was this specific TX slow?"        | ⚠️ partial | ❌     | ✅            |
+| "Which node delayed consensus?"         | ❌         | ❌     | ✅            |
+| "What happened on node X at time T?"    | ✅         | ❌     | ✅            |
+| "Show me the TX journey across 5 nodes" | ❌         | ❌     | ✅            |
+
+### 2.6.4 Coexistence Strategy
+
+> **Note**: Phase 7 replaces the StatsD bridge with native OTel Metrics SDK export. The diagram below shows the Phase 6 intermediate state. See [Phase7_taskList.md](./Phase7_taskList.md) for the migration design where Beast Insight emits via OTLP instead of StatsD.
+
+```mermaid

+        perflog["PerfLog<br/>(JSON to file)"]
+        insight["Beast Insight<br/>(StatsD)"]

+```
+
+**Reading the diagram:**
+
+- **rippled Process (dark gray)**: The single rippled node running all three observability frameworks side by side. Each framework operates independently with no interference.
+- **PerfLog to perf.log**: PerfLog writes JSON-formatted event logs to a local file. Grafana can ingest these via Loki or a file-based datasource.
+- **Beast Insight to StatsD Server**: Insight sends aggregated metrics (counters, gauges) over UDP to a StatsD server. Grafana reads from StatsD-compatible backends like Graphite or Prometheus (via StatsD exporter).
+- **OpenTelemetry to OTLP Collector**: OTel exports spans over OTLP/gRPC to a Collector, which then forwards to a trace backend (Tempo).
+- **Grafana (red, unified UI)**: All three data streams converge in Grafana, enabling operators to correlate logs, metrics, and traces in a single dashboard.
+
+**Phase 7 target state**: Beast Insight routes to `OTelCollector` (new `Collector` implementation) which exports via OTLP/HTTP to the same collector endpoint as traces. StatsD UDP path becomes a deprecated fallback (`[insight] server=statsd`). See [06-implementation-phases.md §6.8](./06-implementation-phases.md) and [Phase7_taskList.md](./Phase7_taskList.md) for details.
+
+### 2.6.5 Correlation with PerfLog
+
+Trace IDs can be correlated with existing PerfLog entries for comprehensive debugging:
+
+```cpp
+// In RPCHandler.cpp - correlate trace with PerfLog
+Status doCommand(RPC::JsonContext& context, Json::Value& result)
+{
+    // Start OpenTelemetry span
+    auto span = context.app.getTelemetry().startSpan(
+        "rpc.command." + context.method);
+
+    // Get trace ID for correlation
+    auto traceId = span->GetContext().trace_id().IsValid()
+        ? toHex(span->GetContext().trace_id())
+        : "";
+
+    // Use existing PerfLog with trace correlation
+    auto const curId = context.app.getPerfLog().currentId();
+    context.app.getPerfLog().rpcStart(context.method, curId);
+
+    // Future: Add trace ID to PerfLog entry
+    // context.app.getPerfLog().setTraceId(curId, traceId);
+
+    try {
+        auto ret = handler(context, result);
+        context.app.getPerfLog().rpcFinish(context.method, curId);
+        span->SetStatus(opentelemetry::trace::StatusCode::kOk);
+        return ret;
+    } catch (std::exception const& e) {
+        context.app.getPerfLog().rpcError(context.method, curId);
+        span->RecordException(e);
+        span->SetStatus(opentelemetry::trace::StatusCode::kError, e.what());
+        throw;
+    }
+}
+```

+
+### Key Principles
+
+1. **Minimal Intrusion**: Instrumentation should not alter existing control flow
+2. **Zero-Cost When Disabled**: Use compile-time flags and no-op implementations
+3. **Backward Compatibility**: Protocol Buffer extensions use high field numbers
+4. **Graceful Degradation**: Tracing failures must not affect node operation

+| ------------- | ---------- | ------------------------------------------------ |
+| CPU           | 1-3%       | Of per-transaction CPU cost (~200μs baseline)    |

+| Network       | 10-50 KB/s | Compressed OTLP export to collector              |
+| Latency (p99) | <2%        | With proper sampling configuration               |
+
+---
+
+## 3.4 Detailed CPU Overhead Analysis
+
+### 3.4.1 Per-Operation Costs
+
+> **Note on hardware assumptions**: The costs below are based on the official OTel C++ SDK CI benchmarks
+> (969 runs on GitHub Actions 2-core shared runners). On production server hardware (3+ GHz Xeon),
+> expect costs at the **lower end** of each range (~30-50% improvement over CI hardware).
+
+| Operation             | Time (ns) | Frequency              | Impact     |
+| --------------------- | --------- | ---------------------- | ---------- |
+| Span creation         | 500-1000  | Every traced operation | Low        |
+| Span end              | 100-200   | Every traced operation | Low        |
+| SetAttribute (string) | 80-120    | 3-5 per span           | Low        |
+| SetAttribute (int)    | 40-60     | 2-3 per span           | Negligible |
+| AddEvent              | 100-200   | 0-2 per span           | Low        |
+| Context injection     | 150-250   | Per outgoing message   | Low        |
+| Context extraction    | 100-180   | Per incoming message   | Low        |
+| GetCurrent context    | 10-20     | Thread-local access    | Negligible |
+
+**Source**: Span creation based on OTel C++ SDK `BM_SpanCreation` benchmark (AlwaysOnSampler +
+SimpleSpanProcessor + InMemoryExporter), median ~1,000 ns on CI hardware. AddEvent includes
+timestamp read + string copy + vector push + mutex acquisition. Context injection/extraction
+confirmed by `BM_SpanCreationWithScope` benchmark delta (~160 ns).
+
+### 3.4.2 Transaction Processing Overhead
+
+<div align="center">
+
+```mermaid
+%%{init: {'pie': {'textPosition': 0.75}}}%%
+pie showData
+    "tx.receive (1400ns)" : 1400
+    "tx.validate (1200ns)" : 1200
+    "tx.relay (1200ns)" : 1200
+    "Context inject (200ns)" : 200
+```
+
+**Transaction Tracing Overhead (~4.0μs total)**
+
+</div>
+
+**Overhead percentage**: 4.0 μs / 200 μs (avg tx processing) = **~2.0%**
+
+> **Breakdown**: Each span (tx.receive, tx.validate, tx.relay) costs ~1,000 ns for creation plus
+> ~200-400 ns for 3-5 attribute sets. Context injection is ~200 ns (confirmed by benchmarks).
+> On production hardware, expect ~2.6 μs total (~1.3% overhead) due to faster span creation (~500-600 ns).
+
+### 3.4.3 Consensus Round Overhead
+
+| Operation              | Count | Cost (ns) | Total      |
+| ---------------------- | ----- | --------- | ---------- |
+| consensus.round span   | 1     | ~1200     | ~1.2 μs    |
+| consensus.phase spans  | 3     | ~1100     | ~3.3 μs    |
+| proposal.receive spans | ~20   | ~1100     | ~22 μs     |
+| proposal.send spans    | ~3    | ~1100     | ~3.3 μs    |
+| Context operations     | ~30   | ~200      | ~6 μs      |
+| **TOTAL**              |       |           | **~36 μs** |
+
+> **Why higher**: Each span costs ~1,000 ns creation + ~100-200 ns for 1-2 attributes, totaling ~1,100-1,200 ns.
+> Context operations remain ~200 ns (confirmed by benchmarks). On production hardware, expect ~24 μs total.
+
+**Overhead percentage**: 36 μs / 3s (typical round) = **~0.001%** (negligible)
+
+### 3.4.4 RPC Request Overhead
+
+| Operation        | Cost (ns)    |
+| ---------------- | ------------ |
+| rpc.request span | ~1200        |
+| rpc.command span | ~1100        |
+| Context extract  | ~250         |
+| Context inject   | ~200         |
+| **TOTAL**        | **~2.75 μs** |
+
+> **Why higher**: Each span costs ~1,000 ns creation + ~100-200 ns for attributes (command name,
+> version, role). Context extract/inject costs are confirmed by OTel C++ benchmarks.
+
+- Fast RPC (1ms): 2.75 μs / 1ms = **~0.275%**
+- Slow RPC (100ms): 2.75 μs / 100ms = **~0.003%**

+## 3.5 Memory Overhead Analysis
+
+> **OTLP** = OpenTelemetry Protocol
+
+### 3.5.1 Static Memory
+
+| Component                            | Size        | Allocated  |
+| ------------------------------------ | ----------- | ---------- |
+| TracerProvider singleton             | ~64 KB      | At startup |
+| BatchSpanProcessor (circular buffer) | ~16 KB      | At startup |
+| BatchSpanProcessor (worker thread)   | ~8 MB       | At startup |
+| OTLP exporter (gRPC channel init)    | ~256 KB     | At startup |
+| Propagator registry                  | ~8 KB       | At startup |
+| **Total static**                     | **~8.3 MB** |            |
+
+> **Why higher than earlier estimate**: The BatchSpanProcessor's circular buffer itself is only ~16 KB
+> (2049 x 8-byte `AtomicUniquePtr` entries), but it spawns a dedicated worker thread whose default
+> stack size on Linux is ~8 MB. The OTLP gRPC exporter allocates memory for channel stubs and TLS
+> initialization. The worker thread stack dominates the static footprint.
+
+### 3.5.2 Dynamic Memory
+
+| Component            | Size per unit  | Max units  | Peak            |
+| -------------------- | -------------- | ---------- | --------------- |
+| Active span          | ~500-800 bytes | 1000       | ~500-800 KB     |
+| Queued span (export) | ~500 bytes     | 2048       | ~1 MB           |
+| Attribute storage    | ~80 bytes      | 5 per span | Included        |
+| Context storage      | ~64 bytes      | Per thread | ~6.4 KB         |
+| **Total dynamic**    |                |            | **~1.5-1.8 MB** |
+
+> **Why active spans are larger**: An active `Span` object includes the wrapper (~88 bytes: shared_ptr,
+> mutex, unique_ptr to Recordable) plus `SpanData` (~250 bytes: SpanContext, timestamps, name, status,
+> empty containers) plus attribute storage (~200-500 bytes for 3-5 string attributes in a `std::map`).
+> Source: `sdk/src/trace/span.h` and `sdk/include/opentelemetry/sdk/trace/span_data.h`.
+> Queued spans release the wrapper, keeping only `SpanData` + attributes (~500 bytes).
+
+### 3.5.3 Memory Growth Characteristics
+
+```mermaid

+config:
+    xyChart:
+        width: 700
+        height: 400

+xychart-beta
+    title "Memory Usage vs Span Rate (bounded by queue limit)"
+    x-axis "Spans/second" [0, 200, 400, 600, 800, 1000]
+    y-axis "Memory (MB)" 0 --> 12
+    line [8.5, 9.2, 9.6, 9.9, 10.0, 10.0]
+```
+
+**Notes**:
+
+- Memory increases with span rate but **plateaus at queue capacity** (default 2048 spans)
+- Batch export prevents unbounded growth
+- At queue limit, oldest spans are dropped (not blocked)
+- Maximum memory is bounded: ~8.3 MB static (dominated by worker thread stack) + 2048 queued spans x ~500 bytes (~1 MB) + active spans (~0.8 MB) ≈ **~10 MB ceiling**
+- The worker thread stack (~8 MB) is virtual memory; actual RSS depends on stack usage (typically much less)
+
+### 3.5.4 Performance Data Sources
+
+The overhead estimates in Sections 3.3-3.5 are derived from the following sources:

+## 3.6 Network Overhead Analysis
+
+### 3.6.1 Export Bandwidth
+
+> **Bytes per span**: Estimates use ~500 bytes/span (conservative upper bound). OTLP protobuf analysis
+> shows a typical span with 3-5 string attributes serializes to ~200-300 bytes raw; with gzip
+> compression (~60-70% of raw) and batching (amortized headers), ~350 bytes/span is more realistic.
+> The table uses the conservative estimate for capacity planning.
+
+| Sampling Rate | Spans/sec | Bandwidth | Notes            |
+| ------------- | --------- | --------- | ---------------- |
+| 100%          | ~500      | ~250 KB/s | Development only |
+| 10%           | ~50       | ~25 KB/s  | Staging          |
+| 1%            | ~5        | ~2.5 KB/s | Production       |
+| Error-only    | ~1        | ~0.5 KB/s | Minimal overhead |
+
+### 3.6.2 Trace Context Propagation
+
+| Message Type           | Context Size | Messages/sec | Overhead    |
+| ---------------------- | ------------ | ------------ | ----------- |
+| TMTransaction          | 25 bytes     | ~100         | ~2.5 KB/s   |
+| TMProposeSet           | 25 bytes     | ~10          | ~250 B/s    |
+| TMValidation           | 25 bytes     | ~50          | ~1.25 KB/s  |

+| ---------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------- |
+| **Low**    | Additive changes only; no modification to existing logic         | Standard code review               |
+| **Medium** | Minor modifications to existing functions; clear boundaries      | Comprehensive unit tests           |
+| **High**   | Changes to core logic or data structures; potential side effects | Integration tests + staged rollout |
+
+### 3.9.4 Architectural Impact Assessment
+
+| Aspect               | Impact  | Justification                                                                    |
+| -------------------- | ------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| **Data Flow**        | Minimal | Read-only instrumentation; no modification to consensus or transaction data flow |
+| **Threading Model**  | Minimal | Context propagation uses thread-local storage (standard OTel pattern)            |
+| **Memory Model**     | Low     | Bounded queues prevent unbounded growth; RAII ensures cleanup                    |
+| **Network Protocol** | Low     | Optional fields in protobuf (high field numbers); backward compatible            |
+| **Configuration**    | None    | New config section; existing configs unaffected                                  |
+| **Build System**     | Low     | Optional CMake flag; builds work without OpenTelemetry                           |
+| **Dependencies**     | Low     | OpenTelemetry SDK is optional; null implementation when disabled                 |
+
+### 3.9.5 Backward Compatibility
+
+| Compatibility   | Status  | Notes                                                 |
+| --------------- | ------- | ----------------------------------------------------- |
+| **Config File** | ✅ Full | New `[telemetry]` section is optional                 |
+| **Protocol**    | ✅ Full | Optional protobuf fields with high field numbers      |
+| **Build**       | ✅ Full | `XRPL_ENABLE_TELEMETRY=OFF` produces identical binary |
+| **Runtime**     | ✅ Full | `enabled=0` produces zero overhead                    |
+| **API**         | ✅ Full | No changes to public RPC or P2P APIs                  |
+
+### 3.9.6 Rollback Strategy
+
+If issues are discovered after deployment:
+
+1. **Immediate**: Set `enabled=0` in config and restart (zero code change)
+2. **Quick**: Rebuild with `XRPL_ENABLE_TELEMETRY=OFF`
+3. **Complete**: Revert telemetry commits (clean separation makes this easy)
+
+### 3.9.7 Code Change Examples
+
+**Minimal RPC Instrumentation (Low Intrusiveness):**
+
+```cpp
+// Before
+void ServerHandler::onRequest(...) {
+    auto result = processRequest(req);
+    send(result);
+}
+
+// After (only ~10 lines added)
+void ServerHandler::onRequest(...) {
+    XRPL_TRACE_RPC(app_.getTelemetry(), "rpc.request");  // +1 line
+    XRPL_TRACE_SET_ATTR("xrpl.rpc.command", command);     // +1 line
+
+    auto result = processRequest(req);
+
+    XRPL_TRACE_SET_ATTR("xrpl.rpc.status", status);       // +1 line
+    send(result);
+}
+```
+
+**Consensus Instrumentation (Medium Intrusiveness):**
+
+```cpp
+// Before
+void RCLConsensusAdaptor::startRound(...) {
+    // ... existing logic
+}
+
+// After (context storage required)
+void RCLConsensusAdaptor::startRound(...) {
+    XRPL_TRACE_CONSENSUS(app_.getTelemetry(), "consensus.round");
+    XRPL_TRACE_SET_ATTR("xrpl.consensus.ledger.seq", seq);
+
+    // Store context for child spans in phase transitions
+    currentRoundContext_ = _xrpl_guard_->context();  // New member variable
+
+    // ... existing logic unchanged
+}
+```

+
+**Reading the diagram:**
+
+- **Configuration Sources**: `xrpld.cfg` provides runtime settings (endpoint, sampling) while the CMake flag controls whether telemetry is compiled in at all.
+- **Initialization**: `setup_Telemetry()` parses config values, then `make_Telemetry()` constructs the provider, processor, and exporter objects.
+- **Runtime Components**: The `TracerProvider` creates spans, the `BatchProcessor` buffers them, and the `OTLP Exporter` serializes and sends them over the wire.
+- **OTLP arrow to Collector**: Trace data leaves the rippled process via OTLP (gRPC or HTTP) and enters the external Collector pipeline.
+- **Collector Pipeline**: `Receivers` ingest OTLP data, `Processors` apply sampling/filtering/enrichment, and `Exporters` forward traces to storage backends (Tempo, etc.).

+{resource.service.name="rippled" && span.xrpl.tx.hash="ABC123..."}
+
+# Find slow RPC commands (>100ms)
+{resource.service.name="rippled" && name=~"rpc.command.*"} | duration > 100ms

+
+# Compare latency across nodes
+{resource.service.name="rippled" && name="rpc.command.account_info"} | avg(duration) by (resource.service.instance.id)
+```
+
+### 5.8.6 Correlation with PerfLog
+
+To correlate OpenTelemetry traces with existing PerfLog data:
+
+**Step 1: Configure Loki to ingest PerfLog**
+
+```yaml
+# promtail-config.yaml
+scrape_configs:
+  - job_name: rippled-perflog
+    static_configs:
+      - targets:
+          - localhost
+        labels:
+          job: rippled
+          __path__: /var/log/rippled/perf*.log
+    pipeline_stages:
+      - json:
+          expressions:
+            trace_id: trace_id
+            ledger_seq: ledger_seq
+            tx_hash: tx_hash
+      - labels:
+          trace_id:
+          ledger_seq:
+          tx_hash:
+```
+
+**Step 2: Add trace_id to PerfLog entries**
+
+Modify PerfLog to include trace_id when available:
+
+```cpp
+// In PerfLog output, add trace_id from current span context
+void logPerf(Json::Value& entry) {
+    auto span = opentelemetry::trace::GetSpan(
+        opentelemetry::context::RuntimeContext::GetCurrent());
+    if (span && span->GetContext().IsValid()) {
+        char traceIdHex[33];
+        span->GetContext().trace_id().ToLowerBase16(traceIdHex);
+        entry["trace_id"] = std::string(traceIdHex, 32);
+    }
+    // ... existing logging
+}
+```
+
+**Step 3: Configure Grafana trace-to-logs link**
+
+In Tempo data source configuration, set up the derived field:
+
+```yaml
+jsonData:
+  tracesToLogs:
+    datasourceUid: loki
+    tags: ["trace_id", "xrpl.tx.hash"]
+    filterByTraceID: true
+    filterBySpanID: false
+```
+
+### 5.8.7 Correlation with Insight/OTel System Metrics
+
+To correlate traces with Beast Insight system metrics:
+
+**Step 1: Export Insight metrics to Prometheus**
+
+Beast Insight metrics are exported natively via OTLP to the OTel Collector,
+which exposes them on the Prometheus endpoint alongside spanmetrics. No
+separate StatsD exporter is needed when using `server=otel`.
+
+```ini
+# xrpld.cfg — native OTel metrics (recommended)
+[insight]
+server=otel
+endpoint=http://localhost:4318/v1/metrics
+prefix=rippled
+```
+
+**Step 2: Add exemplars to metrics**
+
+OpenTelemetry SDK automatically adds exemplars (trace IDs) to metrics when using the Prometheus exporter. This links metrics spikes to specific traces.
+
+**Step 3: Configure Grafana metric-to-trace link**
+
+```yaml
+# In Prometheus data source
+jsonData:
+  exemplarTraceIdDestinations:
+    - name: trace_id
+      datasourceUid: tempo
+```
+
+**Step 4: Dashboard panel with exemplars**
+
+```json
+{
+  "title": "RPC Latency with Trace Links",
+  "type": "timeseries",
+  "datasource": "Prometheus",
+  "targets": [
+    {
+      "expr": "histogram_quantile(0.99, rate(rippled_rpc_duration_seconds_bucket[5m]))",
+      "exemplar": true
+    }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+This allows clicking on metric data points to jump directly to the related trace.

+
+**Reading the diagram:**
+
+- **Budget Constraints? (Yes)**: Leads to open-source options. If you already run Grafana or Elastic, pick the matching backend; otherwise default to Grafana Tempo.
+- **Budget Constraints? (No) → Prefer SaaS?**: If you want a managed service, choose between Datadog (enterprise support) and Honeycomb (developer-focused). If not, fall back to open-source.
+- **Terminal nodes (Tempo / Elastic / Honeycomb / Datadog)**: Each represents a concrete backend choice, all of which feed into the same final step.
+- **Configure Collector**: Regardless of backend, you always finish by configuring the OTel Collector to export to your chosen destination.

+```
+
+**Reading the diagram:**
+
+- **Validator / Stock Nodes**: All rippled nodes emit trace data via OTLP. Validators and stock nodes are grouped separately because they may reside in different network zones.
+- **Collector Cluster (DC1, DC2)**: Regional collectors receive OTLP from nodes in their datacenter, apply processing (sampling, enrichment), and fan out to multiple backends.
+- **Storage Backends**: Tempo and Elastic provide queryable trace storage; S3/GCS Archive provides long-term cold storage for compliance or post-incident analysis.
+- **Grafana Dashboards**: The single visualization layer that queries both Tempo and Elastic, giving operators a unified view of all traces.
+- **Data flow direction**: Nodes → Collectors → Storage → Grafana. Each arrow represents a network hop; minimizing collector-to-backend hops reduces latency.
+
+> **Note**: Production deployments should use multiple collector instances behind a load balancer for high availability. The diagram shows a simplified single-collector topology for clarity.

+
+## 7.4 Architecture Considerations
+
+### 7.4.1 Collector Placement
+
+| Strategy      | Description          | Pros                     | Cons                    |
+| ------------- | -------------------- | ------------------------ | ----------------------- |
+| **Sidecar**   | Collector per node   | Isolation, simple config | Resource overhead       |
+| **DaemonSet** | Collector per host   | Shared resources         | Complexity              |
+| **Gateway**   | Central collector(s) | Centralized processing   | Single point of failure |
+
+**Recommendation**: Use **Gateway** pattern with regional collectors for rippled networks:
+
+- One collector cluster per datacenter/region
+- Tail-based sampling at collector level
+- Multiple export destinations for redundancy
+
+### 7.4.2 Sampling Strategy
+
+```mermaid
+flowchart LR
+    subgraph head["Head Sampling (Node)"]
+        hs[Node-level head sampling<br/>configurable, default: 100%<br/>recommended production: 10%]
+    end
+
+    subgraph tail["Tail Sampling (Collector)"]
+        ts1[Keep all errors]
+        ts2[Keep slow >5s]
+        ts3[Keep 10% rest]
+    end
+
+    head --> tail
+
+    ts1 --> final[Final Traces]
+    ts2 --> final
+    ts3 --> final
+
+    style head fill:#0d47a1,stroke:#082f6a,color:#fff
+    style tail fill:#1b5e20,stroke:#0d3d14,color:#fff
+    style hs fill:#0d47a1,stroke:#082f6a,color:#fff
+    style ts1 fill:#1b5e20,stroke:#0d3d14,color:#fff
+    style ts2 fill:#1b5e20,stroke:#0d3d14,color:#fff
+    style ts3 fill:#1b5e20,stroke:#0d3d14,color:#fff
+    style final fill:#bf360c,stroke:#8c2809,color:#fff
+```
+
+**Reading the diagram:**
+
+- **Head Sampling (Node)**: The first filter -- each rippled node decides whether to sample a trace at creation time (default 100%, recommended 10% in production). This controls the volume leaving the node.
+- **Tail Sampling (Collector)**: The second filter -- the collector inspects completed traces and applies rules: keep all errors, keep anything slower than 5 seconds, and keep 10% of the remainder.
+- **Arrow head → tail**: All head-sampled traces flow to the collector, where tail sampling further reduces volume while preserving the most valuable data.
+- **Final Traces**: The output after both sampling stages; this is what gets stored and queried. The two-stage approach balances cost with debuggability.
+
+### 7.4.3 Data Retention
+
+| Environment | Hot Storage | Warm Storage | Cold Archive |
+| ----------- | ----------- | ------------ | ------------ |
+| Development | 24 hours    | N/A          | N/A          |
+| Staging     | 7 days      | N/A          | N/A          |
+| Production  | 7 days      | 30 days      | many years   |
+
+---
+
+## 7.5 Integration Checklist
+
+- [ ] Choose primary backend (Tempo recommended for cost/features)
+- [ ] Deploy collector cluster with high availability
+- [ ] Configure tail-based sampling for error/latency traces
+- [ ] Set up Grafana dashboards for trace visualization
+- [ ] Configure alerts for trace anomalies
+- [ ] Establish data retention policies
+- [ ] Test trace correlation with logs and metrics

+
+**Reading the diagram:**
+
+- **rippled Node (three sources)**: A single node emits three independent data streams -- OpenTelemetry spans, PerfLog JSON logs, and Beast Insight StatsD metrics.
+- **Data Collection layer**: Each stream has its own collector -- OTel Collector for spans, Promtail/Fluentd for logs, and a StatsD exporter for metrics. They operate independently.
+- **Storage layer (Tempo, Loki, Prometheus)**: Each data type lands in a purpose-built store optimized for its query patterns (trace search, log grep, metric aggregation).
+- **Grafana Correlation Panel**: The key integration point -- Grafana queries all three stores and links them via shared fields (`trace_id`, `xrpl.tx.hash`, `ledger_seq`), enabling a single-pane debugging experience.
+
+### 7.7.2 Correlation Fields
+
+| Source      | Field                       | Link To       | Purpose                    |
+| ----------- | --------------------------- | ------------- | -------------------------- |
+| **Trace**   | `trace_id`                  | Logs          | Find log entries for trace |
+| **Trace**   | `xrpl.tx.hash`              | Logs, Metrics | Find TX-related data       |
+| **Trace**   | `xrpl.consensus.ledger.seq` | Logs          | Find ledger-related logs   |
+| **PerfLog** | `trace_id` (new)            | Traces        | Jump to trace from log     |
+| **PerfLog** | `ledger_seq`                | Traces        | Find consensus trace       |
+| **Insight** | `exemplar.trace_id`         | Traces        | Jump from metric spike     |
+
+### 7.7.3 Example: Debugging a Slow Transaction
+
+**Step 1: Find the trace**
+
+```
+# In Grafana Explore with Tempo
+{resource.service.name="rippled" && span.xrpl.tx.hash="ABC123..."}
+```
+
+**Step 2: Get the trace_id from the trace view**
+
+```
+Trace ID: 4bf92f3577b34da6a3ce929d0e0e4736
+```
+
+**Step 3: Find related PerfLog entries**
+
+```
+# In Grafana Explore with Loki
+{job="rippled"} |= "4bf92f3577b34da6a3ce929d0e0e4736"
+```
+
+**Step 4: Check Insight metrics for the time window**
+
+```
+# In Grafana with Prometheus
+rate(rippled_tx_applied_total[1m])
+  @ timestamp_from_trace
+```

+
+**Reading the diagram:**
+
+- **rpc.request (blue, top)**: The entry point — every traced transaction starts as an RPC call; this root span is the parent of all downstream work.
+- **tx.validate and pathfind.request (green/teal, first fork)**: The RPC request fans out into transaction validation and, for cross-currency payments, a PathFinding branch (`pathfind.request` -> `pathfind.compute`).
+- **tx.relay -> Peer Spans (teal, middle)**: After validation, the transaction is relayed to peers A, B, and C in parallel; each `peer.send` is a sibling child span showing fan-out across the network.
+- **context propagation (dashed arrow)**: The dotted line from `peer.send Peer A` to `consensus.round` represents the trace context crossing a node boundary — the receiving validator picks up the same `trace_id` and continues the trace.
+- **consensus.round -> tx.apply -> TxQ Spans (green, lower)**: Once consensus accepts the transaction, it is applied to the ledger; the TxQ spans (`txq.enqueue`, `txq.apply`, `fee.escalate`) capture queue depth and fee escalation behavior.
+- **Validator Spans (purple, detached)**: `validator.list.fetch` and `validator.manifest` are independent workflows for UNL management — they run on their own traces and are linked to consensus via Span Links, not parent-child relationships.

+# [OpenTelemetry](00-tracing-fundamentals.md) Distributed Tracing Implementation Plan for rippled (xrpld)
+
+## Executive Summary
+
+> **OTLP** = OpenTelemetry Protocol
+
+This document provides a comprehensive implementation plan for integrating OpenTelemetry distributed tracing into the rippled XRP Ledger node software. The plan addresses the unique challenges of a decentralized peer-to-peer system where trace context must propagate across network boundaries between independent nodes.
+
+### Key Benefits
+
+- **End-to-end transaction visibility**: Track transactions from submission through consensus to ledger inclusion
+- **Consensus round analysis**: Understand timing and behavior of consensus phases across validators
+- **RPC performance insights**: Identify slow handlers and optimize response times
+- **Network topology understanding**: Visualize message propagation patterns between peers
+- **Incident debugging**: Correlate events across distributed nodes during issues
+
+### Estimated Performance Overhead
+
+| Metric        | Overhead   | Notes                               |
+| ------------- | ---------- | ----------------------------------- |
+| CPU           | 1-3%       | Span creation and attribute setting |
+| Memory        | 2-5 MB     | Batch buffer for pending spans      |
+| Network       | 10-50 KB/s | Compressed OTLP export to collector |
+| Latency (p99) | <2%        | With proper sampling configuration  |

+## 0. Tracing Fundamentals
+
+This document introduces distributed tracing concepts for readers unfamiliar with the domain. It covers what traces and spans are, how parent-child and follows-from relationships model causality, how context propagates across service boundaries, and how sampling controls data volume. It also maps these concepts to rippled-specific scenarios like transaction relay and consensus.
+
+➡️ **[Read Tracing Fundamentals](./00-tracing-fundamentals.md)**
+
+---
+
+## 1. Architecture Analysis
+
+> **WS** = WebSocket | **TxQ** = Transaction Queue
+
+The rippled node consists of several key components that require instrumentation for comprehensive distributed tracing. The main areas include the RPC server (HTTP/WebSocket), Overlay P2P network, Consensus mechanism (RCLConsensus), JobQueue for async task execution, PathFinding, Transaction Queue (TxQ), fee escalation (LoadManager), ledger acquisition, validator management, and existing observability infrastructure (PerfLog, Insight/StatsD, Journal logging).
+
+Key trace points span across transaction submission via RPC, peer-to-peer message propagation, consensus round execution, ledger building, path computation, transaction queue behavior, fee escalation, and validator health. The implementation prioritizes high-value, low-risk components first: RPC handlers provide immediate value with minimal risk, while consensus tracing requires careful implementation to avoid timing impacts.
+
+➡️ **[Read full Architecture Analysis](./01-architecture-analysis.md)**
+
+---
+
+## 2. Design Decisions
+
+> **OTLP** = OpenTelemetry Protocol | **CNCF** = Cloud Native Computing Foundation
+
+The OpenTelemetry C++ SDK is selected for its CNCF backing, active development, and native performance characteristics. Traces are exported via OTLP/gRPC (primary) or OTLP/HTTP (fallback) to an OpenTelemetry Collector, which provides flexible routing and sampling.
+
+Span naming follows a hierarchical `<component>.<operation>` convention (e.g., `rpc.submit`, `tx.relay`, `consensus.round`). Context propagation uses W3C Trace Context headers for HTTP and embedded Protocol Buffer fields for P2P messages. The implementation coexists with existing PerfLog and Insight observability systems through correlation IDs.
+
+**Data Collection & Privacy**: Telemetry collects only operational metadata (timing, counts, hashes) — never sensitive content (private keys, balances, amounts, raw payloads). Privacy protection includes account hashing, configurable redaction, sampling, and collector-level filtering. Node operators retain full control over telemetry configuration.
+
+➡️ **[Read full Design Decisions](./02-design-decisions.md)**
+
+---
+
+## 3. Implementation Strategy
+
+The telemetry code is organized under `include/xrpl/telemetry/` for headers and `src/libxrpl/telemetry/` for implementation. Key principles include RAII-based span management via `SpanGuard`, conditional compilation with `XRPL_ENABLE_TELEMETRY`, and minimal runtime overhead through batch processing and efficient sampling.
+
+Performance optimization strategies include probabilistic head sampling (10% default), tail-based sampling at the collector for errors and slow traces, batch export to reduce network overhead, and conditional instrumentation that compiles to no-ops when disabled.
+
+➡️ **[Read full Implementation Strategy](./03-implementation-strategy.md)**
+
+---
+
+## 4. Code Samples
+
+C++ implementation examples are provided for the core telemetry infrastructure and key modules:
+
+- `Telemetry.h` - Core interface for tracer access and span creation
+- `SpanGuard.h` - RAII wrapper for automatic span lifecycle management
+- `TracingInstrumentation.h` - Macros for conditional instrumentation
+- Protocol Buffer extensions for trace context propagation
+- Module-specific instrumentation (RPC, Consensus, P2P, JobQueue)
+- Remaining modules (PathFinding, TxQ, Validator, etc.) follow the same patterns
+
+➡️ **[View all Code Samples](./04-code-samples.md)**
+
+---
+
+## 5. Configuration Reference
+
+> **OTLP** = OpenTelemetry Protocol | **APM** = Application Performance Monitoring
+
+Configuration is handled through the `[telemetry]` section in `xrpld.cfg` with options for enabling/disabling, exporter selection, endpoint configuration, sampling ratios, and component-level filtering. CMake integration includes a `XRPL_ENABLE_TELEMETRY` option for compile-time control.
+
+OpenTelemetry Collector configurations are provided for development and production (with tail-based sampling, Tempo, and Elastic APM). Docker Compose examples enable quick local development environment setup.
+

+
+## 6. Implementation Phases
+
+The implementation spans 13 weeks across 8 phases:
+
+| Phase | Duration    | Focus                 | Key Deliverables                                            |

+
+## 7. Observability Backends
+
+> **APM** = Application Performance Monitoring | **GCS** = Google Cloud Storage
+
+Grafana Tempo is recommended for all environments due to its cost-effectiveness and Grafana integration, while Elastic APM is ideal for organizations with existing Elastic infrastructure.
+
+The recommended production architecture uses a gateway collector pattern with regional collectors performing tail-based sampling, routing traces to multiple backends (Tempo for primary storage, Elastic for log correlation, S3/GCS for long-term archive).

+
+## 9. Data Collection Reference
+
+A single-source-of-truth reference documenting every piece of telemetry data collected by rippled.

+## Task 0: Docker Observability Stack Setup
+
+> **OTLP** = OpenTelemetry Protocol
+
+**Objective**: Stand up the backend infrastructure to receive, store, and display traces.
+
+**What to do**:
+
+- Create `docker/telemetry/docker-compose.yml` in the repo with three services:
+  1. **OpenTelemetry Collector** (`otel/opentelemetry-collector-contrib:0.92.0`)
+     - Expose ports `4317` (OTLP gRPC) and `4318` (OTLP HTTP)
+     - Expose port `13133` (health check)
+     - Mount a config file `docker/telemetry/otel-collector-config.yaml`
+  2. **Tempo** (`grafana/tempo:2.6.1`)
+     - Expose port `3200` (HTTP API) and `4317` (OTLP gRPC, internal)
+  3. **Grafana** (`grafana/grafana:latest`) — optional but useful
+     - Expose port `3000`
+     - Enable anonymous admin access for local dev (`GF_AUTH_ANONYMOUS_ENABLED=true`, `GF_AUTH_ANONYMOUS_ORG_ROLE=Admin`)
+     - Provision Tempo as a data source via `docker/telemetry/grafana/provisioning/datasources/tempo.yaml`
+
+- Create `docker/telemetry/otel-collector-config.yaml`:
+
+  ```yaml
+  receivers:
+    otlp:
+      protocols:
+        grpc:
+          endpoint: 0.0.0.0:4317
+        http:
+          endpoint: 0.0.0.0:4318
+
+  processors:
+    batch:
+      timeout: 1s
+      send_batch_size: 100
+
+  exporters:
+    logging:
+      verbosity: detailed
+    otlp/tempo:
+      endpoint: tempo:4317
+      tls:
+        insecure: true
+
+  service:
+    pipelines:
+      traces:
+        receivers: [otlp]
+        processors: [batch]
+        exporters: [logging, otlp/tempo]
+  ```
+
+- Create Grafana Tempo datasource provisioning file at `docker/telemetry/grafana/provisioning/datasources/tempo.yaml`:
+  ```yaml
+  apiVersion: 1
+  datasources:
+    - name: Tempo
+      type: tempo
+      access: proxy
+      url: http://tempo:3200
+  ```
+
+**Verification**: Run `docker compose -f docker/telemetry/docker-compose.yml up -d`, then:
+
+- `curl http://localhost:13133` returns healthy (Collector)
+- `http://localhost:3000` opens Grafana (Tempo datasource available, no traces yet)
+

+
+## Task 1: Add OpenTelemetry C++ SDK Dependency
+
+**Objective**: Make `opentelemetry-cpp` available to the build system.
+
+**What to do**:
+
+- Edit `conanfile.py` to add `opentelemetry-cpp` as an **optional** dependency. The gRPC otel plugin flag (`"grpc/*:otel_plugin": False`) in the existing conanfile may need to remain false — we pull the OTel SDK separately.
+  - Add a Conan option: `with_telemetry = [True, False]` defaulting to `False`
+  - When `with_telemetry` is `True`, add `opentelemetry-cpp` to `self.requires()`
+  - Required OTel Conan components: `opentelemetry-cpp` (which bundles api, sdk, and exporters). If the package isn't in Conan Center, consider using `FetchContent` in CMake or building from source as a fallback.
+- Edit `CMakeLists.txt`:
+  - Add option: `option(XRPL_ENABLE_TELEMETRY "Enable OpenTelemetry tracing" OFF)`
+  - When ON, `find_package(opentelemetry-cpp CONFIG REQUIRED)` and add compile definition `XRPL_ENABLE_TELEMETRY`
+  - When OFF, do nothing (zero build impact)
+- Verify the build succeeds with `-DXRPL_ENABLE_TELEMETRY=OFF` (no regressions) and with `-DXRPL_ENABLE_TELEMETRY=ON` (SDK links successfully).
+
+**Key files**:
+
+- `conanfile.py`
+- `CMakeLists.txt`
+
+**Reference**:
+
+- [05-configuration-reference.md §5.4](./05-configuration-reference.md) — CMake integration, `FindOpenTelemetry.cmake`, `XRPL_ENABLE_TELEMETRY` option

+- [02-design-decisions.md §2.1](./02-design-decisions.md) — SDK selection rationale and required OTel components
+
+---
+
+## Task 2: Create Core Telemetry Interface and NullTelemetry
+
+**Objective**: Define the `Telemetry` abstract interface and a no-op implementation so the rest of the codebase can reference telemetry without hard-depending on the OTel SDK.
+
+**What to do**:
+
+- Create `include/xrpl/telemetry/Telemetry.h`:
+  - Define `namespace xrpl::telemetry`
+  - Define `struct Telemetry::Setup` holding: `enabled`, `exporterEndpoint`, `samplingRatio`, `serviceName`, `serviceVersion`, `serviceInstanceId`, `traceRpc`, `traceTransactions`, `traceConsensus`, `tracePeer`
+  - Define abstract `class Telemetry` with:
+    - `virtual void start() = 0;`
+    - `virtual void stop() = 0;`
+    - `virtual bool isEnabled() const = 0;`
+    - `virtual nostd::shared_ptr<Tracer> getTracer(string_view name = "rippled") = 0;`
+    - `virtual nostd::shared_ptr<Span> startSpan(string_view name, SpanKind kind = kInternal) = 0;`
+    - `virtual nostd::shared_ptr<Span> startSpan(string_view name, Context const& parentContext, SpanKind kind = kInternal) = 0;`
+    - `virtual bool shouldTraceRpc() const = 0;`
+    - `virtual bool shouldTraceTransactions() const = 0;`
+    - `virtual bool shouldTraceConsensus() const = 0;`
+  - Factory: `std::unique_ptr<Telemetry> make_Telemetry(Setup const&, beast::Journal);`
+  - Config parser: `Telemetry::Setup setup_Telemetry(Section const&, std::string const& nodePublicKey, std::string const& version);`
+
+- Create `include/xrpl/telemetry/SpanGuard.h`:
+  - RAII guard that takes an `nostd::shared_ptr<Span>`, creates a `Scope`, and calls `span->End()` in destructor.
+  - Convenience: `setAttribute()`, `setOk()`, `setStatus()`, `addEvent()`, `recordException()`, `context()`
+  - See [04-code-samples.md](./04-code-samples.md) §4.2 for the full implementation.
+
+- Create `src/libxrpl/telemetry/NullTelemetry.cpp`:
+  - Implements `Telemetry` with all no-ops.
+  - `isEnabled()` returns `false`, `startSpan()` returns a noop span.
+  - This is used when `XRPL_ENABLE_TELEMETRY` is OFF or `enabled=0` in config.
+
+- Guard all OTel SDK headers behind `#ifdef XRPL_ENABLE_TELEMETRY`. The `NullTelemetry` implementation should compile without the OTel SDK present.
+
+**Key new files**:
+
+- `include/xrpl/telemetry/Telemetry.h`

+
+---
+
+## Task 3: Implement OTel-Backed Telemetry
+
+> **OTLP** = OpenTelemetry Protocol
+
+**Objective**: Implement the real `Telemetry` class that initializes the OTel SDK, configures the OTLP exporter and batch processor, and creates tracers/spans.
+
+**What to do**:
+
+- Create `src/libxrpl/telemetry/Telemetry.cpp` (compiled only when `XRPL_ENABLE_TELEMETRY=ON`):
+  - `class TelemetryImpl : public Telemetry` that:
+    - In `start()`: creates a `TracerProvider` with:
+      - Resource attributes: `service.name`, `service.version`, `service.instance.id`
+      - An `OtlpHttpExporter` pointed at `setup.exporterEndpoint` (default `localhost:4318`)
+      - A `BatchSpanProcessor` with configurable batch size and delay
+      - A `TraceIdRatioBasedSampler` using `setup.samplingRatio`
+    - Sets the global `TracerProvider`
+    - In `stop()`: calls `ForceFlush()` then shuts down the provider
+    - In `startSpan()`: delegates to `getTracer()->StartSpan(name, ...)`
+    - `shouldTraceRpc()` etc. read from `Setup` fields
+
+- Create `src/libxrpl/telemetry/TelemetryConfig.cpp`:
+  - `setup_Telemetry()` parses the `[telemetry]` config section from `xrpld.cfg`
+  - Maps config keys: `enabled`, `exporter`, `endpoint`, `sampling_ratio`, `trace_rpc`, `trace_transactions`, `trace_consensus`, `trace_peer`
+
+- Wire `make_Telemetry()` factory:
+  - If `setup.enabled` is true AND `XRPL_ENABLE_TELEMETRY` is defined: return `TelemetryImpl`
+  - Otherwise: return `NullTelemetry`
+
+- Add telemetry source files to CMake. When `XRPL_ENABLE_TELEMETRY=ON`, compile `Telemetry.cpp` and `TelemetryConfig.cpp` and link against `opentelemetry-cpp::api`, `opentelemetry-cpp::sdk`, `opentelemetry-cpp::otlp_grpc_exporter`. When OFF, compile only `NullTelemetry.cpp`.
+
+**Key new files**:
+
+- `src/libxrpl/telemetry/Telemetry.cpp`
+- `src/libxrpl/telemetry/TelemetryConfig.cpp`
+
+**Key modified files**:
+
+- `CMakeLists.txt` (add telemetry library target)
+
+**Reference**:
+
+- [04-code-samples.md §4.1](./04-code-samples.md) — `Telemetry` interface that `TelemetryImpl` must implement
+- [05-configuration-reference.md §5.2](./05-configuration-reference.md) — `setup_Telemetry()` config parser implementation

+- [03-implementation-strategy.md §3.5](./03-implementation-strategy.md) — Memory overhead: static (~456 KB) and dynamic (~1.2 MB) budgets
+
+---
+
+## Task 4: Integrate Telemetry into Application Lifecycle
+
+**Objective**: Wire the `Telemetry` object into `Application` so all components can access it.
+
+**What to do**:
+
+- Edit `src/xrpld/app/main/Application.h`:
+  - Forward-declare `namespace xrpl::telemetry { class Telemetry; }`
+  - Add pure virtual method: `virtual telemetry::Telemetry& getTelemetry() = 0;`
+
+- Edit `src/xrpld/app/main/Application.cpp` (the `ApplicationImp` class):
+  - Add member: `std::unique_ptr<telemetry::Telemetry> telemetry_;`
+  - In the constructor, after config is loaded and node identity is known:
+    ```cpp
+    auto const telemetrySection = config_->section("telemetry");
+    auto telemetrySetup = telemetry::setup_Telemetry(
+        telemetrySection,
+        toBase58(TokenType::NodePublic, nodeIdentity_.publicKey()),
+        BuildInfo::getVersionString());
+    telemetry_ = telemetry::make_Telemetry(telemetrySetup, logs_->journal("Telemetry"));
+    ```
+  - In `start()`: call `telemetry_->start()` early
+  - In `stop()` or destructor: call `telemetry_->stop()` late (to flush pending spans)
+  - Implement `getTelemetry()` override: return `*telemetry_`
+
+- Add `[telemetry]` section to the example config `cfg/rippled-example.cfg`:
+  ```ini
+  # [telemetry]
+  # enabled=1
+  # endpoint=localhost:4317
+  # sampling_ratio=1.0
+  # trace_rpc=1
+  ```
+
+**Key modified files**:
+
+- `src/xrpld/app/main/Application.h`
+- `src/xrpld/app/main/Application.cpp`
+- `cfg/rippled-example.cfg` (or equivalent example config)
+
+**Reference**:
+
+- [05-configuration-reference.md §5.3](./05-configuration-reference.md) — `ApplicationImp` changes: member declaration, constructor init, `start()`/`stop()` wiring, `getTelemetry()` override
+- [05-configuration-reference.md §5.1](./05-configuration-reference.md) — `[telemetry]` config section format and all option defaults
+- [03-implementation-strategy.md §3.9.2](./03-implementation-strategy.md) — File impact assessment: `Application.cpp` ~15 lines added, ~3 changed (Low risk)
+
+---
+
+## Task 5: Create Instrumentation Macros
+
+**Objective**: Define convenience macros that make instrumenting code one-liners, and that compile to zero-cost no-ops when telemetry is disabled.
+
+**What to do**:
+
+- Create `src/xrpld/telemetry/TracingInstrumentation.h`:
+  - When `XRPL_ENABLE_TELEMETRY` is defined:
+
+    ```cpp
+    #define XRPL_TRACE_SPAN(telemetry, name) \
+        auto _xrpl_span_ = (telemetry).startSpan(name); \
+        ::xrpl::telemetry::SpanGuard _xrpl_guard_(_xrpl_span_)
+
+    #define XRPL_TRACE_RPC(telemetry, name) \
+        std::optional<::xrpl::telemetry::SpanGuard> _xrpl_guard_; \
+        if ((telemetry).shouldTraceRpc()) { \
+            _xrpl_guard_.emplace((telemetry).startSpan(name)); \
+        }
+
+    #define XRPL_TRACE_SET_ATTR(key, value) \
+        if (_xrpl_guard_.has_value()) { \
+            _xrpl_guard_->setAttribute(key, value); \
+        }
+
+    #define XRPL_TRACE_EXCEPTION(e) \
+        if (_xrpl_guard_.has_value()) { \
+            _xrpl_guard_->recordException(e); \
+        }
+    ```
+
+  - When `XRPL_ENABLE_TELEMETRY` is NOT defined, all macros expand to `((void)0)`
+
+**Key new file**:
+
+- `src/xrpld/telemetry/TracingInstrumentation.h`
+
+**Reference**:
+
+- [04-code-samples.md §4.3](./04-code-samples.md) — Full macro definitions for `XRPL_TRACE_SPAN`, `XRPL_TRACE_RPC`, `XRPL_TRACE_CONSENSUS`, `XRPL_TRACE_SET_ATTR`, `XRPL_TRACE_EXCEPTION` with both enabled and disabled branches

+
+## Task 6: Instrument RPC ServerHandler
+
+> **WS** = WebSocket
+
+**Objective**: Add tracing to the HTTP RPC entry point so every incoming RPC request creates a span.
+
+**What to do**:
+
+- Edit `src/xrpld/rpc/detail/ServerHandler.cpp`:
+  - `#include` the `TracingInstrumentation.h` header
+  - In `ServerHandler::onRequest(Session& session)`:
+    - At the top of the method, add: `XRPL_TRACE_RPC(app_.getTelemetry(), "rpc.request");`
+    - After the RPC command name is extracted, set attribute: `XRPL_TRACE_SET_ATTR("xrpl.rpc.command", command);`
+    - After the response status is known, set: `XRPL_TRACE_SET_ATTR("http.status_code", static_cast<int64_t>(statusCode));`
+    - Wrap error paths with: `XRPL_TRACE_EXCEPTION(e);`
+  - In `ServerHandler::processRequest(...)`:
+    - Add a child span: `XRPL_TRACE_RPC(app_.getTelemetry(), "rpc.process");`
+    - Set method attribute: `XRPL_TRACE_SET_ATTR("xrpl.rpc.method", request_method);`
+  - In `ServerHandler::onWSMessage(...)` (WebSocket path):
+    - Add: `XRPL_TRACE_RPC(app_.getTelemetry(), "rpc.ws.message");`
+
+- The goal is to see spans like:
+  ```
+  rpc.request
+    └── rpc.process
+  ```
+  in Tempo/Grafana for every HTTP RPC call.
+
+**Key modified file**:
+

+- [03-implementation-strategy.md §3.9.2](./03-implementation-strategy.md) — File impact: `ServerHandler.cpp` ~40 lines added, ~10 changed (Low risk)
+
+---
+
+## Task 7: Instrument RPC Command Execution
+
+**Objective**: Add per-command tracing inside the RPC handler so each command (e.g., `submit`, `account_info`, `server_info`) gets its own child span.
+
+**What to do**:
+
+- Edit `src/xrpld/rpc/detail/RPCHandler.cpp`:
+  - `#include` the `TracingInstrumentation.h` header
+  - In `doCommand(RPC::JsonContext& context, Json::Value& result)`:
+    - At the top: `XRPL_TRACE_RPC(context.app.getTelemetry(), "rpc.command." + context.method);`
+    - Set attributes:
+      - `XRPL_TRACE_SET_ATTR("xrpl.rpc.command", context.method);`
+      - `XRPL_TRACE_SET_ATTR("xrpl.rpc.version", static_cast<int64_t>(context.apiVersion));`
+      - `XRPL_TRACE_SET_ATTR("xrpl.rpc.role", (context.role == Role::ADMIN) ? "admin" : "user");`
+    - On success: `XRPL_TRACE_SET_ATTR("xrpl.rpc.status", "success");`
+    - On error: `XRPL_TRACE_SET_ATTR("xrpl.rpc.status", "error");` and set the error message
+
+- After this, traces in Tempo/Grafana should look like:
+  ```
+  rpc.request  (xrpl.rpc.command=account_info)
+    └── rpc.process
+          └── rpc.command.account_info  (xrpl.rpc.version=2, xrpl.rpc.role=user, xrpl.rpc.status=success)

+## Task 8: Build, Run, and Verify End-to-End
+
+> **OTLP** = OpenTelemetry Protocol
+
+**Objective**: Prove the full pipeline works: rippled emits traces -> OTel Collector receives them -> Tempo stores them for Grafana visualization.
+
+**What to do**:
+
+1. **Start the Docker stack**:
+
+   ```bash
+   docker compose -f docker/telemetry/docker-compose.yml up -d
+   ```
+
+   Verify Collector health: `curl http://localhost:13133`
+
+2. **Build rippled with telemetry**:
+
+   ```bash
+   # Adjust for your actual build workflow
+   conan install . --build=missing -o with_telemetry=True
+   cmake --preset default -DXRPL_ENABLE_TELEMETRY=ON
+   cmake --build --preset default
+   ```
+
+3. **Configure rippled**:
+   Add to `rippled.cfg` (or your local test config):
+
+   ```ini
+   [telemetry]
+   enabled=1
+   endpoint=localhost:4317
+   sampling_ratio=1.0
+   trace_rpc=1
+   ```
+
+4. **Start rippled** in standalone mode:
+
+   ```bash
+   ./rippled --conf rippled.cfg -a --start
+   ```
+
+5. **Generate RPC traffic**:
+
+   ```bash
+   # server_info
+   curl -s -X POST http://localhost:5005 \
+     -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+     -d '{"method":"server_info","params":[{}]}'
+
+   # ledger
+   curl -s -X POST http://localhost:5005 \
+     -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+     -d '{"method":"ledger","params":[{"ledger_index":"current"}]}'
+
+   # account_info (will error in standalone, that's fine — we trace errors too)
+   curl -s -X POST http://localhost:5005 \
+     -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+     -d '{"method":"account_info","params":[{"account":"rHb9CJAWyB4rj91VRWn96DkukG4bwdtyTh"}]}'
+   ```
+
+6. **Verify in Grafana (Tempo)**:
+   - Open `http://localhost:3000`
+   - Navigate to Explore → select Tempo datasource
+   - Search for service `rippled`
+   - Confirm you see traces with spans: `rpc.request` -> `rpc.process` -> `rpc.command.server_info`
+   - Click into a trace and verify attributes: `xrpl.rpc.command`, `xrpl.rpc.status`, `xrpl.rpc.version`
+
+7. **Verify zero-overhead when disabled**:
+   - Rebuild with `XRPL_ENABLE_TELEMETRY=OFF`, or set `enabled=0` in config
+   - Run the same RPC calls
+   - Confirm no new traces appear and no errors in rippled logs
+
+**Verification Checklist**:
+
+- [ ] Docker stack starts without errors
+- [ ] rippled builds with `-DXRPL_ENABLE_TELEMETRY=ON`
+- [ ] rippled starts and connects to OTel Collector (check rippled logs for telemetry messages)
+- [ ] Traces appear in Grafana/Tempo under service "rippled"
+- [ ] Span hierarchy is correct (parent-child relationships)
+- [ ] Span attributes are populated (`xrpl.rpc.command`, `xrpl.rpc.status`, etc.)
+- [ ] Error spans show error status and message
+- [ ] Building with `XRPL_ENABLE_TELEMETRY=OFF` produces no regressions
+- [ ] Setting `enabled=0` at runtime produces no traces and no errors

+## Task 9: Document POC Results and Next Steps
+
+> **OTLP** = OpenTelemetry Protocol | **WS** = WebSocket
+
+**Objective**: Capture findings, screenshots, and remaining work for the team.
+
+**What to do**:
+
+- Take screenshots of Grafana/Tempo showing:
+  - The service list with "rippled"
+  - A trace with the full span tree
+  - Span detail view showing attributes
+- Document any issues encountered (build issues, SDK quirks, missing attributes)

+
+## Next Steps (Post-POC)
+
+> **OTLP** = OpenTelemetry Protocol | **WS** = WebSocket
+
+### Metrics Pipeline for Grafana Dashboards
+
+The current POC exports **traces only**. Grafana's Explore view can query Tempo for individual traces, but time-series charts (latency histograms, request throughput, error rates) require a **metrics pipeline**. To enable this:
+
+1. **Add a `spanmetrics` connector** to the OTel Collector config that derives RED metrics (Rate, Errors, Duration) from trace spans automatically:
+
+   ```yaml
+   connectors:
+     spanmetrics:
+       histogram:
+         explicit:
+           buckets: [1ms, 5ms, 10ms, 25ms, 50ms, 100ms, 250ms, 500ms, 1s, 5s]
+       dimensions:
+         - name: xrpl.rpc.command
+         - name: xrpl.rpc.status
+
+   exporters:
+     prometheus:
+       endpoint: 0.0.0.0:8889
+
+   service:
+     pipelines:
+       traces:
+         receivers: [otlp]
+         processors: [batch]
+         exporters: [debug, otlp/tempo, spanmetrics]
+       metrics:
+         receivers: [spanmetrics]
+         exporters: [prometheus]
+   ```
+
+2. **Add Prometheus** to the Docker Compose stack to scrape the collector's metrics endpoint.
+
+3. **Add Prometheus as a Grafana datasource** and build dashboards for:
+   - RPC request latency (p50/p95/p99) by command
+   - RPC throughput (requests/sec) by command
+   - Error rate by command
+   - Span duration distribution
+
+### Additional Instrumentation
+
+- **W3C `traceparent` header extraction** in `ServerHandler` to support cross-service context propagation from external callers
+- **WebSocket RPC tracing** in `ServerHandler::onWSMessage()`
+- **Transaction relay tracing** across nodes using protobuf `TraceContext` messages
+- **Consensus round and phase tracing** for validator coordination visibility
+- **Ledger close tracing** to measure close-to-validated latency
+
+### Production Hardening
+
+- **Tail-based sampling** in the OTel Collector to reduce volume while retaining error/slow traces
+- **TLS configuration** for the OTLP exporter in production deployments
+- **Resource limits** on the batch processor queue to prevent unbounded memory growth
+- **Health monitoring** for the telemetry pipeline itself (collector lag, export failures)
+
+### POC Lessons Learned
+
+Issues encountered during POC implementation that inform future work:
+
+| Issue                                                                                              | Resolution                                                                    | Impact on Future Work                                            |

+
+### Why This Phase Exists
+
+Before Phases 1-9 can be considered production-ready, we need proof that:
+
+1. All 16 spans fire with correct attributes under real transaction workloads
+2. All 255+ StatsD metrics + ~50 Phase 9 metrics appear in Prometheus with non-zero values
+3. Log-trace correlation (Phase 8) produces clickable trace_id links in Loki
+4. All 10 Grafana dashboards render meaningful data (no empty panels)
+5. Performance overhead stays within bounds (< 3% CPU, < 5MB memory)
+6. The telemetry stack survives sustained load without data loss or queue backpressure
+
+---
+
+## Task 10.1: Multi-Node Test Harness
+
+**Objective**: Create a docker-compose environment with 3-5 validator nodes that produces real consensus rounds.
+
+**What to do**:
+
+- Create `docker/telemetry/docker-compose.workload.yaml`:
+  - 5 rippled validator nodes with UNL configured for each other
+  - All telemetry enabled: `[telemetry] enabled=1`, `[insight] server=otel`
+  - Full OTel stack: Collector, Tempo, Prometheus, Loki, Grafana
+  - Shared network with service discovery
+
+- Each node should:
+  - Generate validator keys at startup
+  - Configure all 5 nodes in its UNL
+  - Enable all trace categories including `trace_peer=1`
+  - Write logs to a file tailed by the OTel Collector filelog receiver
+
+- Include a `Makefile` target: `make telemetry-workload-up` / `make telemetry-workload-down`
+
+**Key files**:
+
+- New: `docker/telemetry/docker-compose.workload.yaml`
+- New: `docker/telemetry/workload/generate-validator-keys.sh`
+- New: `docker/telemetry/workload/xrpld-validator.cfg.template`
+
+---
+
+## Task 10.2: RPC Load Generator
+
+**Objective**: Configurable tool that fires all traced RPC commands at controlled rates.
+
+**What to do**:
+
+- Create `docker/telemetry/workload/rpc_load_generator.py`:
+  - Connects to one or more rippled WebSocket endpoints
+  - Fires all RPC commands that have trace spans: `server_info`, `ledger`, `tx`, `account_info`, `account_lines`, `fee`, `submit`, etc.
+  - Configurable parameters: rate (RPS), duration, command distribution weights
+  - Injects `traceparent` HTTP headers to test W3C context propagation
+  - Logs progress and errors to stdout
+
+- Command distribution should match realistic production ratios:
+  - 40% `server_info` / `fee` (health checks)
+  - 30% `account_info` / `account_lines` / `account_objects` (wallet queries)
+  - 15% `ledger` / `ledger_data` (explorer queries)
+  - 10% `tx` / `account_tx` (transaction lookups)
+  - 5% `book_offers` / `amm_info` (DEX queries)
+
+**Key files**:
+
+- New: `docker/telemetry/workload/rpc_load_generator.py`
+- New: `docker/telemetry/workload/requirements.txt`
+
+---
+
+## Task 10.3: Transaction Submitter
+
+**Objective**: Generate diverse transaction types to exercise `tx.*` and `ledger.*` spans.
+
+**What to do**:
+
+- Create `docker/telemetry/workload/tx_submitter.py`:
+  - Pre-funds test accounts from genesis account
+  - Submits a mix of transaction types:
+    - `Payment` (XRP and issued currencies) — exercises `tx.process`, `tx.apply`
+    - `OfferCreate` / `OfferCancel` — DEX activity
+    - `TrustSet` — trust line creation for issued currencies
+    - `NFTokenMint` / `NFTokenCreateOffer` / `NFTokenAcceptOffer` — NFT activity
+    - `EscrowCreate` / `EscrowFinish` — escrow lifecycle
+    - `AMMCreate` / `AMMDeposit` / `AMMWithdraw` — AMM pool operations (if amendment enabled)
+  - Configurable: TPS target, transaction mix weights, duration
+  - Monitors submission results and tracks success/failure rates
+
+- The transaction mix ensures the telemetry captures the full range of ledger activity that third parties care about.
+
+**Key files**:
+
+- New: `docker/telemetry/workload/tx_submitter.py`
+- New: `docker/telemetry/workload/test_accounts.json` (pre-generated keypairs)
+
+---
+
+## Task 10.4: Telemetry Validation Suite
+
+**Objective**: Automated scripts that verify all expected telemetry data exists after a workload run.
+
+**What to do**:
+
+- Create `docker/telemetry/workload/validate_telemetry.py`:
+
+  **Span validation** (queries Tempo API):
+  - Assert all 16 span names appear in traces
+  - Assert each span has its required attributes (22 total attributes across spans)
+  - Assert parent-child relationships are correct (`rpc.request` → `rpc.process` → `rpc.command.*`)
+  - Assert span durations are reasonable (> 0, < 60s)
+
+  **Metric validation** (queries Prometheus API):
+  - Assert all SpanMetrics-derived metrics are non-zero: `traces_span_metrics_calls_total`, `traces_span_metrics_duration_milliseconds_bucket`
+  - Assert all StatsD metrics are non-zero: `rippled_LedgerMaster_Validated_Ledger_Age`, `rippled_Peer_Finder_Active_*`, etc.
+  - Assert all Phase 9 metrics are non-zero: `rippled_nodestore_*`, `rippled_cache_*`, `rippled_txq_*`, `rippled_rpc_method_*`, `rippled_object_count`, `rippled_load_factor*`
+  - Assert metric label cardinality is within bounds
+
+  **Log-trace correlation validation** (queries Loki API):
+  - Assert logs contain `trace_id=` and `span_id=` fields
+  - Pick a random trace_id from Tempo → query Loki for matching logs → assert results exist
+  - Assert Grafana derived field links are functional
+
+  **Dashboard validation**:
+  - For each of the 10 Grafana dashboards, query the dashboard API and assert no panels show "No data"
+
+- Output: JSON report with pass/fail per check, suitable for CI.
+
+**Key files**:
+
+- New: `docker/telemetry/workload/validate_telemetry.py`
+- New: `docker/telemetry/workload/expected_spans.json` (span inventory for validation)
+- New: `docker/telemetry/workload/expected_metrics.json` (metric inventory for validation)
+
+---
+
+## Task 10.5: Performance Benchmark Suite
+
+**Objective**: Measure CPU/memory/latency overhead of the telemetry stack.
+
+**What to do**:
+
+- Create `docker/telemetry/workload/benchmark.sh`:
+  - **Baseline run**: Start cluster with `[telemetry] enabled=0`, run transaction workload for 5 minutes, record metrics
+  - **Telemetry run**: Start cluster with full telemetry enabled, run identical workload, record metrics
+  - **Comparison**: Calculate deltas for:
+    - CPU usage (per-node average)
+    - Memory RSS (per-node peak)
+    - RPC p99 latency
+    - Transaction throughput (TPS)
+    - Consensus round time p95
+    - Ledger close time p95
+
+- Output: Markdown table comparing baseline vs. telemetry, with pass/fail against targets:
+  - CPU overhead < 3%
+  - Memory overhead < 5MB
+  - RPC latency impact < 2ms p99
+  - Throughput impact < 5%
+  - Consensus impact < 1%
+
+- Store results in `docker/telemetry/workload/benchmark-results/` for historical tracking.
+
+**Key files**:
+
+- New: `docker/telemetry/workload/benchmark.sh`
+- New: `docker/telemetry/workload/collect_system_metrics.sh`
+
+---
+
+## Task 10.6: CI Integration
+
+**Objective**: Wire the validation suite into CI for regression detection.
+
+**What to do**:
+
+- Create a CI workflow (GitHub Actions or equivalent) that:
+  1. Builds rippled with `-DXRPL_ENABLE_TELEMETRY=ON`
+  2. Starts the multi-node workload harness
+  3. Runs the RPC load generator + transaction submitter for 2 minutes
+  4. Runs the validation suite
+  5. Runs the benchmark suite
+  6. Fails the build if any validation check fails or benchmark exceeds thresholds
+  7. Archives the validation report and benchmark results as artifacts
+
+- This should be a separate workflow (not part of the main CI), triggered manually or on telemetry-related branch changes.
+
+**Key files**:
+
+- New: `.github/workflows/telemetry-validation.yml`
+- New: `docker/telemetry/workload/run-full-validation.sh` (orchestrator script)
+
+---
+
+## Task 10.7: Documentation
+
+**Objective**: Document the workload tools and validation process.
+
+**What to do**:
+
+- Create `docker/telemetry/workload/README.md`:
+  - Quick start guide for running workload harness
+  - Configuration options for load generator and tx submitter
+  - How to read validation reports
+  - How to run benchmarks and interpret results
+
+- Update `docs/telemetry-runbook.md`:
+  - Add "Validating Telemetry Stack" section
+  - Add "Performance Benchmarking" section
+
+- Update `OpenTelemetryPlan/09-data-collection-reference.md`:
+  - Add "Validation" section with expected metric/span counts
+
+---
+
+## Exit Criteria — Delivered in PR #6519

+
+### Third-Party Consumer Gap Analysis
+
+This phase addresses the cross-cutting gap identified during research: **rippled has no native Prometheus/OTLP metrics export for data accessible only via RPC**. Every consumer (exchanges, payment processors, analytics providers, validators, researchers, compliance firms, custodians) must build custom JSON-RPC polling and conversion. This receiver centralizes that work.
+
+| Consumer Category          | Data Unlocked by This Phase                                        |

+## Task 11.1: OTel Collector Receiver Scaffold
+
+**Objective**: Create the Go project structure for a custom OTel Collector receiver that polls rippled JSON-RPC.
+
+**What to do**:

+  - `factory.go` — receiver factory registration
+  - `go.mod` / `go.sum` — Go module with OTel Collector SDK dependency
+
+- Configuration model:
+
+  ```yaml
+  rippled_receiver:
+    endpoint: "http://localhost:5005" # rippled admin RPC
+    poll_interval: 30s # how often to poll
+    enabled_collectors:
+      - server_info
+      - get_counts
+      - fee
+      - peers

+
+## Task 11.5: Validator & Amendment Collector
+
+**Objective**: Poll `validators` and `feature` to export validator health and amendment voting status.
+
+**What to do**:
+
+- Implement `validatorCollector`:
+

+
+**Objective**: Extend the Phase 10 validation suite to verify this receiver's metrics.
+
+**What to do**:
+
+- Update `docker/telemetry/workload/validate_telemetry.py`:

+## Task 11.12: Alert Rules for External Dashboard Parity Metrics
+
+> **Source**: [External Dashboard Parity](../docs/superpowers/specs/2026-03-30-external-dashboard-parity-design.md) — 18 alert rules ported from the community [xrpl-validator-dashboard](https://github.com/realgrapedrop/xrpl-validator-dashboard).
+>
+> **Upstream**: Phase 7 Tasks 7.9-7.16 (metrics), Phase 9 Tasks 9.11-9.13 (dashboards).
+> **Downstream**: None — terminal task in the parity chain.
+
+**Objective**: Add Grafana alerting rules for the Phase 7+ parity metrics (validation agreement, validator health, peer quality, state tracking, ledger economy). These complement Task 11.8's `xrpl_*` alerts by covering the `rippled_*` internal metrics.
+
+**Critical Group** (8 rules, eval interval 10s):

+
+## Task 11.13: Dual-Datasource Architecture Documentation
+
+> **Source**: [External Dashboard Parity](../docs/superpowers/specs/2026-03-30-external-dashboard-parity-design.md)
+
+**Objective**: Document the external dashboard's "fast path" pattern as a future optimization for real-time panels.
+
+**Pattern**: A lightweight Prometheus scrape endpoint (separate from OTLP pipeline) that polls critical metrics every 2-5s, bypassing the 10s OTLP metric reader interval and Prometheus scrape interval.
+
+**Use case**: Real-time state panels (server state, ledger age, peer count) where 10-15s latency is too slow for operational dashboards.
+
+**Decision**: Document as a future option, not implement now. The current 10s interval is acceptable for v1. The external dashboard achieves 2-5s freshness by polling RPC directly, which is what the Phase 11 receiver already does. Adding a separate scrape endpoint to rippled would only be needed if sub-second metric freshness is required from the internal metrics pipeline.
+
+**What to document**:
+
+- Architecture comparison: OTLP pipeline (10-15s) vs. direct scrape (2-5s) vs. push gateway
+- When to consider: operator feedback indicating 10s is insufficient for alerting SLOs
+- How to implement if needed: add `/metrics` HTTP endpoint to rippled with Prometheus client library
+- Trade-offs: additional port, additional dependency, duplication with OTLP metrics
+
+**Key files**:
+
+- Update: `OpenTelemetryPlan/09-data-collection-reference.md` (add "Future: Dual-Datasource Architecture" section)
+- Update: `docs/telemetry-runbook.md` (add brief note in performance tuning section)
+
+**Exit Criteria**:
+
+- [ ] Architecture comparison documented with clear trade-offs
+- [ ] Decision rationale recorded (why deferred, when to revisit)
+
+---
+
+## Exit Criteria
+
+- [ ] Custom OTel Collector receiver builds and starts without errors
+- [ ] All `xrpl_*` metrics from server_info, get_counts, peers, validators, fee appear in Prometheus
+- [ ] Metrics update at configured poll interval (default 30s)
+- [ ] 4 new Grafana dashboards operational with data

+## Task 2.1: Implement W3C Trace Context HTTP Header Extraction
+
+**Objective**: Extract `traceparent` and `tracestate` headers from incoming HTTP RPC requests so external callers can propagate their trace context into rippled.
+
+**What to do**:
+
+- Create `include/xrpl/telemetry/TraceContextPropagator.h`:
+  - `extractFromHeaders(headerGetter)` - extract W3C traceparent/tracestate from HTTP headers
+  - `injectToHeaders(ctx, headerSetter)` - inject trace context into response headers
+  - Use OTel's `TextMapPropagator` with `W3CTraceContextPropagator` for standards compliance
+  - Only compiled when `XRPL_ENABLE_TELEMETRY` is defined
+
+- Create `src/libxrpl/telemetry/TraceContextPropagator.cpp`:
+  - Implement a simple `TextMapCarrier` adapter for HTTP headers
+  - Use `opentelemetry::context::propagation::GlobalTextMapPropagator` for extraction/injection
+  - Register the W3C propagator in `TelemetryImpl::start()`
+
+- Modify `src/xrpld/rpc/detail/ServerHandler.cpp`:
+  - In the HTTP request handler, extract parent context from headers before creating span
+  - Pass extracted context to `startSpan()` as parent
+  - Inject trace context into response headers

+**Objective**: Add the missing peer-tracing macro for future Phase 3 use and ensure macro completeness.
+
+**What to do**:
+
+- Edit `src/xrpld/telemetry/TracingInstrumentation.h`:
+  - Add `XRPL_TRACE_PEER(_tel_obj_, _span_name_)` macro that checks `shouldTracePeer()`

+
+- Edit `src/xrpld/rpc/detail/RPCHandler.cpp`:
+  - Add `xrpl.rpc.duration_ms` attribute on completion
+  - Add error message attribute on failure: `xrpl.rpc.error_message`

+
+## Task 2.8: RPC Span Attribute Enrichment — Node Health Context
+
+> **Source**: [External Dashboard Parity](../docs/superpowers/specs/2026-03-30-external-dashboard-parity-design.md) — adds node-level health context inspired by the community [xrpl-validator-dashboard](https://github.com/realgrapedrop/xrpl-validator-dashboard).
+>
+> **Downstream**: Phase 7 (MetricsRegistry uses these attributes for alerting context), Phase 10 (validation checks for these attributes).
+
+**Objective**: Add node-level health state to every `rpc.command.*` span so operators can correlate RPC behavior with node state in Tempo.
+
+**What to do**:
+
+- Edit `src/xrpld/rpc/detail/RPCHandler.cpp`:
+  - In the `rpc.command.*` span creation block (after existing `setAttribute` calls for `xrpl.rpc.command`, `xrpl.rpc.version`, etc.):
+    - Add `xrpl.node.amendment_blocked` (bool) — from `context.app.getOPs().isAmendmentBlocked()`
+    - Add `xrpl.node.server_state` (string) — from `context.app.getOPs().strOperatingMode()`
+
+**New span attributes**:
+
+| Attribute                     | Type   | Source                                      | Example  |
+| ----------------------------- | ------ | ------------------------------------------- | -------- |
+| `xrpl.node.amendment_blocked` | bool   | `context.app.getOPs().isAmendmentBlocked()` | `true`   |
+| `xrpl.node.server_state`      | string | `context.app.getOPs().strOperatingMode()`   | `"full"` |
+
+**Rationale**: When a node is amendment-blocked or in a degraded state, every RPC response is suspect. Tagging spans with this state enables Tempo TraceQL queries like:
+
+```
+{name=~"rpc.command.*"} | xrpl.node.amendment_blocked = true
+```
+
+This surfaces all RPCs served during a blocked period — critical for post-incident analysis.
+
+**Key modified files**:
+
+- `src/xrpld/rpc/detail/RPCHandler.cpp`
+
+**Exit Criteria**:
+
+- [ ] `rpc.command.server_info` spans carry `xrpl.node.amendment_blocked` and `xrpl.node.server_state` attributes
+- [ ] No measurable latency impact (attribute values are cached atomics, not computed per-call)
+- [ ] Attributes appear in Tempo trace detail view

+
+---
+
+## Known Issues / Future Work
+
+### Thread safety of TelemetryImpl::stop() vs startSpan()
+
+`TelemetryImpl::stop()` resets `sdkProvider_` (a `std::shared_ptr`) without
+synchronization. `getTracer()` reads the same member from RPC handler threads.
+This is a data race if any thread calls `startSpan()` concurrently with `stop()`.
+
+**Current mitigation**: `Application::stop()` shuts down `serverHandler_`,
+`overlay_`, and `jobQueue_` before calling `telemetry_->stop()`, so no callers
+remain. See comments in `Telemetry.cpp:stop()` and `Application.cpp`.
+
+**TODO**: Add an `std::atomic<bool> stopped_` flag checked in `getTracer()` to
+make this robust against future shutdown order changes.
+
+### Macro incompatibility: XRPL_TRACE_SPAN vs XRPL_TRACE_SET_ATTR
+
+`XRPL_TRACE_SPAN` and `XRPL_TRACE_SPAN_KIND` declare `_xrpl_guard_` as a bare
+`SpanGuard`, but `XRPL_TRACE_SET_ATTR` and `XRPL_TRACE_EXCEPTION` call
+`_xrpl_guard_.has_value()` which requires `std::optional<SpanGuard>`. Using
+`XRPL_TRACE_SPAN` followed by `XRPL_TRACE_SET_ATTR` in the same scope would
+fail to compile.
+
+**Current mitigation**: No call site currently uses `XRPL_TRACE_SPAN` — all
+production code uses the conditional macros (`XRPL_TRACE_RPC`, `XRPL_TRACE_TX`,
+etc.) which correctly wrap the guard in `std::optional`.
+
+**TODO**: Either make `XRPL_TRACE_SPAN`/`XRPL_TRACE_SPAN_KIND` also wrap in
+`std::optional`, or document that `XRPL_TRACE_SET_ATTR` is only compatible with
+the conditional macros.

+## Task 3.1: Define TraceContext Protocol Buffer Message
+
+**Objective**: Add trace context fields to the P2P protocol messages so trace IDs can propagate across nodes.
+
+**What to do**:
+
+- Edit `include/xrpl/proto/xrpl.proto` (or `src/ripple/proto/ripple.proto`, wherever the proto is):
+  - Add `TraceContext` message definition:
+    ```protobuf
+    message TraceContext {
+        bytes trace_id = 1;      // 16-byte trace identifier
+        bytes span_id = 2;       // 8-byte span identifier
+        uint32 trace_flags = 3;  // bit 0 = sampled
+        string trace_state = 4;  // W3C tracestate value
+    }
+    ```
+  - Add `optional TraceContext trace_context = 1001;` to:
+    - `TMTransaction`
+    - `TMProposeSet` (for Phase 4 use)
+    - `TMValidation` (for Phase 4 use)
+  - Use high field numbers (1001+) to avoid conflicts with existing fields

+
+## Task 3.2: Implement Protobuf Context Serialization
+
+**Objective**: Create utilities to serialize/deserialize OTel trace context to/from protobuf `TraceContext` messages.
+
+**What to do**:
+
+- Create `include/xrpl/telemetry/TraceContextPropagator.h` (extend from Phase 2 if exists, or add protobuf methods):
+  - Add protobuf-specific methods:
+    - `static Context extractFromProtobuf(protocol::TraceContext const& proto)` — reconstruct OTel context from protobuf fields
+    - `static void injectToProtobuf(Context const& ctx, protocol::TraceContext& proto)` — serialize current span context into protobuf fields
+  - Both methods guard behind `#ifdef XRPL_ENABLE_TELEMETRY`
+
+- Create/extend `src/libxrpl/telemetry/TraceContextPropagator.cpp`:
+  - Implement extraction: read trace_id (16 bytes), span_id (8 bytes), trace_flags from protobuf, construct `SpanContext`, wrap in `Context`
+  - Implement injection: get current span from context, serialize its TraceId, SpanId, and TraceFlags into protobuf fields

+
+## Task 3.3: Instrument PeerImp Transaction Handling
+
+**Objective**: Add trace spans to the peer-level transaction receive and relay path.
+
+**What to do**:
+
+- Edit `src/xrpld/overlay/detail/PeerImp.cpp`:
+  - In `onMessage(TMTransaction)` / `handleTransaction()`:
+    - Extract parent trace context from incoming `TMTransaction::trace_context` field (if present)
+    - Create `tx.receive` span as child of extracted context (or new root if none)
+    - Set attributes: `xrpl.tx.hash`, `xrpl.peer.id`, `xrpl.tx.status`
+    - On HashRouter suppression (duplicate): set `xrpl.tx.suppressed=true`, add `tx.duplicate` event
+    - Wrap validation call with child span `tx.validate`
+    - Wrap relay with `tx.relay` span
+  - When relaying to peers:
+    - Inject current trace context into outgoing `TMTransaction::trace_context`
+    - Set `xrpl.tx.relay_count` attribute
+
+- Include `TracingInstrumentation.h` and use `XRPL_TRACE_TX` macro

+
+## Task 3.4: Instrument NetworkOPs Transaction Processing
+
+**Objective**: Trace the transaction processing pipeline in NetworkOPs, covering both sync and async paths.
+
+**What to do**:
+
+- Edit `src/xrpld/app/misc/NetworkOPs.cpp`:
+  - In `processTransaction()`:
+    - Create `tx.process` span
+    - Set attributes: `xrpl.tx.hash`, `xrpl.tx.type`, `xrpl.tx.local` (whether from RPC or peer)
+    - Record whether sync or async path is taken
+
+  - In `doTransactionAsync()`:
+    - Capture parent context before queuing
+    - Create `tx.queue` span with queue depth attribute
+    - Add event when transaction is dequeued for processing
+
+  - In `doTransactionSync()`:
+    - Create `tx.process_sync` span
+    - Record result (applied, queued, rejected)
+
+**Key modified files**:
+
+- `src/xrpld/app/misc/NetworkOPs.cpp`

+
+---
+
+## Task 3.5: Instrument HashRouter for Dedup Visibility
+
+**Objective**: Make transaction deduplication visible in traces by recording HashRouter decisions as span attributes/events.
+
+**What to do**:
+
+- Edit `src/xrpld/overlay/detail/PeerImp.cpp` (in handleTransaction):
+  - After calling `HashRouter::shouldProcess()` or `addSuppressionPeer()`:
+    - Record `xrpl.tx.suppressed` attribute (true/false)
+    - Record `xrpl.tx.flags` showing current HashRouter state (SAVED, TRUSTED, etc.)
+    - Add `tx.first_seen` or `tx.duplicate` event
+
+- This is NOT a modification to HashRouter itself — just recording its decisions as span attributes in the existing PeerImp instrumentation from Task 3.3.
+
+**Key modified files**:
+
+- `src/xrpld/overlay/detail/PeerImp.cpp` (same changes as 3.3, logically grouped)
+
+---
+
+## Task 3.6: Context Propagation in Transaction Relay
+
+**Objective**: Ensure trace context flows correctly when transactions are relayed between peers, creating linked spans across nodes.
+
+**What to do**:
+
+- Verify the relay path injects trace context:
+  - When `PeerImp` relays a transaction, the `TMTransaction` message should carry `trace_context`
+  - When a remote peer receives it, the context is extracted and used as parent
+
+- Test context propagation:
+  - Manually verify with 2+ node setup that trace IDs match across nodes
+  - Confirm parent-child span relationships are correct in Tempo
+
+- Handle edge cases:
+  - Missing trace context (older peers): create new root span
+  - Corrupted trace context: log warning, create new root span
+  - Sampled-out traces: respect trace flags
+
+**Key modified files**:
+
+- `src/xrpld/overlay/detail/PeerImp.cpp`
+- `src/xrpld/overlay/detail/OverlayImpl.cpp` (if relay method needs context param)
+
+**Reference**:

+- [02-design-decisions.md §2.5](./02-design-decisions.md) — Context propagation design
+- [04-code-samples.md §4.5.1](./04-code-samples.md) — Relay context injection pattern
+
+---
+
+## Task 3.7: Build Verification and Testing
+
+**Objective**: Verify all Phase 3 changes compile and work correctly.
+
+**What to do**:
+
+1. Build with `telemetry=ON` — verify no compilation errors
+2. Build with `telemetry=OFF` — verify no regressions
+3. Run existing unit tests
+4. Verify protobuf regeneration produces correct C++ code
+5. Document any issues encountered
+
+**Verification Checklist**:
+
+- [ ] Protobuf changes generate valid C++
+- [ ] Build succeeds with telemetry ON
+- [ ] Build succeeds with telemetry OFF
+- [ ] Existing tests pass
+- [ ] No undefined symbols from new telemetry calls

+## Task 3.8: Transaction Span Peer Version Attribute
+
+> **Source**: [External Dashboard Parity](../docs/superpowers/specs/2026-03-30-external-dashboard-parity-design.md) — adds peer version context inspired by the community [xrpl-validator-dashboard](https://github.com/realgrapedrop/xrpl-validator-dashboard).
+>
+> **Upstream**: Phase 2 (RPC span infrastructure must exist).
+> **Downstream**: Phase 10 (validation checks for this attribute).
+
+**Objective**: Add the relaying peer's rippled version to `tx.receive` spans so operators can correlate transaction issues with peer version mismatches during network upgrades.
+
+**What to do**:
+
+- Edit `src/xrpld/overlay/detail/PeerImp.cpp`:
+  - In the `tx.receive` span block (after existing `xrpl.peer.id` setAttribute call):
+    - Add `xrpl.peer.version` (string) — from `this->getVersion()`
+    - Only set if `getVersion()` returns a non-empty string (avoid empty-string attributes)
+
+**New span attribute**:
+
+| Attribute           | Type   | Source               | Example           |
+| ------------------- | ------ | -------------------- | ----------------- |
+| `xrpl.peer.version` | string | `peer->getVersion()` | `"rippled-2.4.0"` |
+
+**Rationale**: Transaction relay is where version mismatches cause subtle serialization or validation bugs. Tracing "this tx came from a v2.3.0 peer" helps diagnose compatibility issues. The community dashboard tracks peer versions externally; this brings version awareness into the trace itself.
+
+**Key modified files**:
+
+- `src/xrpld/overlay/detail/PeerImp.cpp`
+
+**Exit Criteria**:
+
+- [ ] `tx.receive` spans carry `xrpl.peer.version` attribute with a non-empty version string
+- [ ] Attribute is omitted (not set to empty string) when `getVersion()` returns empty
+- [ ] Attribute visible in Tempo trace detail view

+- [ ] HashRouter deduplication visible in traces
+- [ ] <5% overhead on transaction throughput
+

+
+## Known Issues / Future Work
+
+### Propagation utilities not yet wired into P2P flow
+
+`extractFromProtobuf()` and `injectToProtobuf()` in `TraceContextPropagator.h`
+are implemented and tested but not called from production code. To enable
+cross-node distributed traces:
+
+- Call `injectToProtobuf()` in `PeerImp` when sending `TMTransaction` /
+  `TMProposeSet` messages
+- Call `extractFromProtobuf()` in the corresponding message handlers to
+  reconstruct the parent span context, then pass it to `startSpan()` as the
+  parent
+
+This was deferred to validate single-node tracing performance first.
+
+### Unused trace_state proto field
+
+The `TraceContext.trace_state` field (field 4) in `xrpl.proto` is reserved for
+W3C `tracestate` vendor-specific key-value pairs but is not read or written by
+`TraceContextPropagator`. Wire it when cross-vendor trace propagation is needed.
+No wire cost since proto `optional` fields are zero-cost when absent.

+## Task 4.1: Instrument Consensus Round Start
+
+**Objective**: Create a root span for each consensus round that captures the round's key parameters.
+
+**What to do**:
+
+- Edit `src/xrpld/app/consensus/RCLConsensus.cpp`:
+  - In `RCLConsensus::startRound()` (or the Adaptor's startRound):
+    - Create `consensus.round` span using `XRPL_TRACE_CONSENSUS` macro
+    - Set attributes:
+      - `xrpl.consensus.ledger.prev` — previous ledger hash
+      - `xrpl.consensus.ledger.seq` — target ledger sequence
+      - `xrpl.consensus.proposers` — number of trusted proposers
+      - `xrpl.consensus.mode` — "proposing" or "observing"
+    - Store the span context for use by child spans in phase transitions
+
+- Add a member to hold current round trace context:
+  - `opentelemetry::context::Context currentRoundContext_` (guarded by `#ifdef`)
+  - Updated at round start, used by phase transition spans
+
+**Key modified files**:
+
+- `src/xrpld/app/consensus/RCLConsensus.cpp`
+- `src/xrpld/app/consensus/RCLConsensus.h` (add context member)
+
+**Reference**:
+
+- [04-code-samples.md §4.5.2](./04-code-samples.md) — startRound instrumentation example
+- [01-architecture-analysis.md §1.4](./01-architecture-analysis.md) — Consensus round flow
+
+---
+
+## Task 4.2: Instrument Phase Transitions
+
+**Objective**: Create child spans for each consensus phase (open, establish, accept) to show timing breakdown.
+
+**What to do**:
+
+- Edit `src/xrpld/app/consensus/RCLConsensus.cpp`:
+  - Identify where phase transitions occur (the `Consensus<Adaptor>` template drives this)
+  - For each phase entry:
+    - Create span as child of `currentRoundContext_`: `consensus.phase.open`, `consensus.phase.establish`, `consensus.phase.accept`
+    - Set `xrpl.consensus.phase` attribute
+    - Add `phase.enter` event at start, `phase.exit` event at end
+    - Record phase duration in milliseconds
+
+  - In the `onClose` adaptor method:
+    - Create `consensus.ledger_close` span
+    - Set attributes: close_time, mode, transaction count in initial position
+
+  - Note: The Consensus template class in `src/xrpld/consensus/Consensus.h` drives phase transitions — Phase 4a instruments directly in the template
+
+**Key modified files**:
+
+- `src/xrpld/app/consensus/RCLConsensus.cpp`
+- Possibly `include/xrpl/consensus/Consensus.h` (for template-level phase tracking)
+
+**Reference**:
+
+- [04-code-samples.md §4.5.2](./04-code-samples.md) — phaseTransition instrumentation
+
+---
+
+## Task 4.3: Instrument Proposal Handling
+
+**Objective**: Trace proposal send and receive to show validator coordination.
+
+**What to do**:
+
+- Edit `src/xrpld/app/consensus/RCLConsensus.cpp`:
+  - In `Adaptor::propose()`:
+    - Create `consensus.proposal.send` span
+    - Set attributes: `xrpl.consensus.round` (proposal sequence), proposal hash
+    - Inject trace context into outgoing `TMProposeSet::trace_context` (from Phase 3 protobuf)
+
+  - In `Adaptor::peerProposal()` (or wherever peer proposals are received):
+    - Extract trace context from incoming `TMProposeSet::trace_context`
+    - Create `consensus.proposal.receive` span as child of extracted context
+    - Set attributes: `xrpl.consensus.proposer` (node ID), `xrpl.consensus.round`
+
+  - In `Adaptor::share(RCLCxPeerPos)`:
+    - Create `consensus.proposal.relay` span for relaying peer proposals
+
+**Key modified files**:
+
+- `src/xrpld/app/consensus/RCLConsensus.cpp`
+
+**Reference**:
+
+- [04-code-samples.md §4.5.2](./04-code-samples.md) — peerProposal instrumentation
+- [02-design-decisions.md §2.4.4](./02-design-decisions.md) — Consensus attribute schema
+
+---
+
+## Task 4.4: Instrument Validation Handling
+
+**Objective**: Trace validation send and receive to show ledger validation flow.
+
+**What to do**:
+
+- Edit `src/xrpld/app/consensus/RCLConsensus.cpp` (or the validation handler):
+  - When sending our validation:
+    - Create `consensus.validation.send` span
+    - Set attributes: validated ledger hash, sequence, signing time
+
+  - When receiving a peer validation:
+    - Extract trace context from `TMValidation::trace_context` (if present)
+    - Create `consensus.validation.receive` span
+    - Set attributes: `xrpl.consensus.validator` (node ID), ledger hash
+
+**Key modified files**:
+
+- `src/xrpld/app/consensus/RCLConsensus.cpp`
+- `src/xrpld/app/misc/NetworkOPs.cpp` (if validation handling is here)
+
+---
+
+## Task 4.5: Add Consensus-Specific Attributes
+
+**Objective**: Enrich consensus spans with detailed attributes for debugging and analysis.
+
+**What to do**:
+
+- Review all consensus spans and ensure they include:
+  - `xrpl.consensus.ledger.seq` — target ledger sequence number
+  - `xrpl.consensus.round` — consensus round number
+  - `xrpl.consensus.mode` — proposing/observing/wrongLedger
+  - `xrpl.consensus.phase` — current phase name
+  - `xrpl.consensus.phase_duration_ms` — time spent in phase
+  - `xrpl.consensus.proposers` — number of trusted proposers
+  - `xrpl.consensus.tx_count` — transactions in proposed set
+  - `xrpl.consensus.disputes` — number of disputed transactions
+  - `xrpl.consensus.converge_percent` — convergence percentage
+
+**Key modified files**:
+
+- `src/xrpld/app/consensus/RCLConsensus.cpp`
+
+---
+
+## Task 4.6: Correlate Transaction and Consensus Traces
+
+**Objective**: Link transaction traces from Phase 3 with consensus traces so you can follow a transaction from submission through consensus into the ledger.
+
+**What to do**:
+
+- In `onClose()` or `onAccept()`:
+  - When building the consensus position, link the round span to individual transaction spans using span links (if OTel SDK supports it) or events
+  - At minimum, record the transaction hashes included in the consensus set as span events: `tx.included` with `xrpl.tx.hash` attribute
+
+- In `processTransactionSet()` (NetworkOPs):
+  - If the consensus round span context is available, create child spans for each transaction applied to the ledger
+
+**Key modified files**:
+
+- `src/xrpld/app/consensus/RCLConsensus.cpp`
+- `src/xrpld/app/misc/NetworkOPs.cpp`
+

+
+## Task 4.7: Build Verification and Testing
+
+**Objective**: Verify all Phase 4 changes compile and don't affect consensus timing.
+
+**What to do**:
+
+1. Build with `telemetry=ON` — verify no compilation errors
+2. Build with `telemetry=OFF` — verify no regressions (critical for consensus code)
+3. Run existing consensus-related unit tests
+4. Verify that all macros expand to no-ops when disabled
+5. Check that no consensus-critical code paths are affected by instrumentation overhead
+
+**Verification Checklist**:
+
+- [ ] Build succeeds with telemetry ON
+- [ ] Build succeeds with telemetry OFF
+- [ ] Existing consensus tests pass
+- [ ] No new includes in consensus headers when telemetry is OFF
+- [ ] Phase timing instrumentation doesn't use blocking operations
+

+
+## Task 4.8: Consensus Validation Span Enrichment — External Dashboard Parity
+
+> **Source**: [External Dashboard Parity](../docs/superpowers/specs/2026-03-30-external-dashboard-parity-design.md) — adds validation agreement context inspired by the community [xrpl-validator-dashboard](https://github.com/realgrapedrop/xrpl-validator-dashboard).
+>
+> **Upstream**: Phase 4 tasks 4.1-4.4 (span creation must exist).
+> **Downstream**: Phase 7 (ValidationTracker reads these attributes), Phase 10 (validation checks).
+
+**Objective**: Add ledger hash, validation type, and quorum data to consensus validation spans on both send and receive paths. This enables trace-level validation agreement analysis — filter by ledger hash to see which validators agreed for a given ledger.
+
+**What to do**:
+
+- Edit `src/xrpld/app/consensus/RCLConsensus.cpp`:
+  - On the `consensus.validation.send` span (in `validate()` / `doAccept()`):
+    - Add `xrpl.validation.ledger_hash` (string) — the ledger hash being validated
+    - Add `xrpl.validation.full` (bool) — whether this is a full validation (not partial)
+  - On the `consensus.accept` span (in `onAccept()`):
+    - Add `xrpl.consensus.validation_quorum` (int64) — from `app_.validators().quorum()`
+    - Add `xrpl.consensus.proposers_validated` (int64) — from `result.proposers`
+
+- Edit `src/xrpld/overlay/detail/PeerImp.cpp`:
+  - On the `peer.validation.receive` span:
+    - Add `xrpl.peer.validation.ledger_hash` (string) — from deserialized `STValidation` object
+    - Add `xrpl.peer.validation.full` (bool) — from `STValidation` flags
+
+**New span attributes**:
+
+| Span                        | Attribute                            | Type   | Source                            |
+| --------------------------- | ------------------------------------ | ------ | --------------------------------- |
+| `consensus.validation.send` | `xrpl.validation.ledger_hash`        | string | Ledger hash from validate() args  |
+| `consensus.validation.send` | `xrpl.validation.full`               | bool   | Full vs partial validation        |
+| `peer.validation.receive`   | `xrpl.peer.validation.ledger_hash`   | string | From STValidation deserialization |
+| `peer.validation.receive`   | `xrpl.peer.validation.full`          | bool   | From STValidation flags           |
+| `consensus.accept`          | `xrpl.consensus.validation_quorum`   | int64  | `app_.validators().quorum()`      |
+| `consensus.accept`          | `xrpl.consensus.proposers_validated` | int64  | `result.proposers`                |
+
+**Rationale**: The external dashboard's most valuable feature is validation agreement tracking. By recording the ledger hash on both outgoing and incoming validation spans, we create the raw data for agreement analysis at the trace level. Example Tempo query:
+
+```
+{name="consensus.validation.send"} | xrpl.validation.ledger_hash = "A1B2C3..."
+```
+
+Phase 7's `ValidationTracker` builds metric-level aggregation (1h/24h agreement %) on top of this data.
+
+**Key modified files**:
+
+- `src/xrpld/app/consensus/RCLConsensus.cpp`
+- `src/xrpld/overlay/detail/PeerImp.cpp`
+
+**Exit Criteria**:
+
+- [ ] `consensus.validation.send` spans carry `xrpl.validation.ledger_hash` and `xrpl.validation.full`
+- [ ] `peer.validation.receive` spans carry `xrpl.peer.validation.ledger_hash` and `xrpl.peer.validation.full`
+- [ ] `consensus.accept` spans carry `xrpl.consensus.validation_quorum` and `xrpl.consensus.proposers_validated`
+- [ ] Ledger hash attributes match between send and receive for the same ledger
+- [ ] No impact on consensus performance

+
+#### Close Time Attributes (consensus.accept.apply)
+
+The `consensus.accept.apply` span captures ledger close time agreement details
+driven by `avCT_CONSENSUS_PCT` (75% validator agreement threshold):
+
+- **`xrpl.consensus.close_time`** — Agreed-upon ledger close time (epoch seconds). When validators disagree (`consensusCloseTime == epoch`), this is synthetically set to `prevCloseTime + 1s`.
+- **`xrpl.consensus.close_time_correct`** — `true` if validators reached agreement, `false` if they "agreed to disagree" (close time forced to prev+1s).
+- **`xrpl.consensus.close_resolution_ms`** — Rounding granularity for close time (starts at 30s, decreases as ledger interval stabilizes).
+- **`xrpl.consensus.state`** — `"finished"` (normal) or `"moved_on"` (consensus failed, adopted best available).
+- **`xrpl.consensus.proposing`** — Whether this node was proposing.
+- **`xrpl.consensus.round_time_ms`** — Total consensus round duration.
+- **`xrpl.consensus.parent_close_time`** — Previous ledger's close time (epoch seconds). Enables computing close-time deltas across consecutive rounds without correlating separate spans.
+- **`xrpl.consensus.close_time_self`** — This node's own proposed close time before consensus voting.
+- **`xrpl.consensus.close_time_vote_bins`** — Number of distinct close-time vote bins from peer proposals. Higher values indicate less agreement among validators.
+- **`xrpl.consensus.resolution_direction`** — Whether close-time resolution `"increased"` (coarser), `"decreased"` (finer), or stayed `"unchanged"` relative to the previous ledger.
+
+**Exit Criteria** (from [06-implementation-phases.md §6.11.4](./06-implementation-phases.md)):
+
+- [x] Complete consensus round traces
+- [x] Phase transitions visible
+- [x] Proposals and validations traced
+- [x] Close time agreement tracked (per `avCT_CONSENSUS_PCT`)
+- [x] No impact on consensus timing

+# Phase 4a: Establish-Phase Gap Fill & Cross-Node Correlation
+
+> **Goal**: Fill tracing gaps in the consensus establish phase (disputes, convergence,
+> threshold escalation, mode changes) and establish cross-node correlation using a
+> deterministic shared trace ID derived from `previousLedger.id()`.
+>
+> **Approach**: Direct instrumentation in `Consensus.h` — the generic consensus
+> template has full access to internal state (`convergePercent_`, `result_->disputes`,
+> `mode_`, threshold logic). Telemetry access comes via a single new adaptor
+> method `getTelemetry()`. Long-lived spans (round, establish) are stored as
+> class members using `SpanGuard` directly — NOT the `XRPL_TRACE_*` convenience
+> macros (which create local variables named `_xrpl_guard_`). Short-lived
+> scoped spans (update_positions, check) can use the macros. All code compiles
+> to no-ops when `XRPL_ENABLE_TELEMETRY` is not defined.
+>
+> **Branch**: `pratik/otel-phase4-consensus-tracing`
+
+## Design: Switchable Correlation Strategy
+
+Two strategies for cross-node trace correlation, switchable via config:
+
+### Strategy A — Deterministic Trace ID (Default)
+
+Derive `trace_id = SHA256(previousLedger.id())[0:16]` so all nodes in the same
+consensus round share the same trace_id without P2P context propagation.
+
+- **Pros**: All nodes appear in the same trace in Tempo automatically.
+  No collector-side post-processing needed.
+- **Cons**: Overrides OTel's random trace_id generation; requires custom
+  `IdGenerator` or manual span context construction.
+
+### Strategy B — Attribute-Based Correlation
+
+Use normal random trace_id but attach `xrpl.consensus.ledger_id` as an attribute
+on every consensus span. Correlation happens at query time via Tempo/Grafana
+`by attribute` queries.
+
+- **Pros**: Standard OTel trace_id semantics; no SDK customization.
+- **Cons**: Cross-node correlation requires query-time joins, not automatic.
+
+### Config

+```ini
+[telemetry]
+# "deterministic" (default) or "attribute"
+consensus_trace_strategy=deterministic
+```
+
+### Implementation
+
+In `RCLConsensus::Adaptor::startRound()`:
+
+- If `deterministic`:
+  1. Compute `trace_id_bytes = SHA256(prevLedgerID)[0:16]`
+  2. Construct `opentelemetry::trace::TraceId(trace_id_bytes)`
+  3. Create a synthetic `SpanContext` with this trace_id and a random span_id:
+     ```cpp
+     auto traceId = opentelemetry::trace::TraceId(trace_id_bytes);
+     auto spanId  = opentelemetry::trace::SpanId(random_8_bytes);
+     auto syntheticCtx = opentelemetry::trace::SpanContext(
+         traceId, spanId, opentelemetry::trace::TraceFlags(1), false);
+     ```
+  4. Wrap in `opentelemetry::context::Context` via
+     `opentelemetry::trace::SetSpan(context, syntheticSpan)`
+  5. Call `startSpan("consensus.round", parentContext)` so the new span
+     inherits the deterministic trace_id.
+- If `attribute`: start a normal `consensus.round` span, set
+  `xrpl.consensus.ledger_id = previousLedger.id()` as attribute.
+
+Both strategies always set `xrpl.consensus.round_id` (round number) and
+`xrpl.consensus.ledger_id` (previous ledger hash) as attributes.
+

+
+## Task 4a.0: Prerequisites — Extend SpanGuard and Telemetry APIs
+
+**Objective**: Add missing API surface needed by later tasks.
+
+**What to do**:
+
+1. **Add `SpanGuard::addEvent()` with attributes** (needed by Task 4a.5):
+   The current `addEvent(string_view name)` only accepts a name. Add an
+   overload that accepts key-value attributes:
+
+   ```cpp
+   void addEvent(std::string_view name,
+       std::initializer_list<
+           std::pair<opentelemetry::nostd::string_view,
+                     opentelemetry::common::AttributeValue>> attributes)
+   {
+       span_->AddEvent(std::string(name), attributes);
+   }
+   ```
+
+2. **Add a `Telemetry::startSpan()` overload that accepts span links** (needed by Tasks 4a.2, 4a.8):
+   The current `startSpan()` has no span link support. Add an overload that
+   accepts a vector of `SpanContext` links for follows-from relationships:
+
+   ```cpp
+   virtual opentelemetry::nostd::shared_ptr<opentelemetry::trace::Span>
+   startSpan(
+       std::string_view name,
+       opentelemetry::context::Context const& parentContext,
+       std::vector<opentelemetry::trace::SpanContext> const& links,
+       opentelemetry::trace::SpanKind kind = opentelemetry::trace::SpanKind::kInternal) = 0;
+   ```
+
+3. **Add `XRPL_TRACE_ADD_EVENT` macro** (needed by Task 4a.5):
+   Add to `TracingInstrumentation.h` to expose `addEvent(name, attrs)` through
+   the macro interface (consistent with `XRPL_TRACE_SET_ATTR` pattern):
+   ```cpp
+   #ifdef XRPL_ENABLE_TELEMETRY
+   #define XRPL_TRACE_ADD_EVENT(name, ...)               \
+       if (_xrpl_guard_.has_value())                     \
+       {                                                 \
+           _xrpl_guard_->addEvent(name, __VA_ARGS__);   \
+       }
+   #else
+   #define XRPL_TRACE_ADD_EVENT(name, ...) ((void)0)
+   #endif
+   ```
+
+**Key modified files**:
+
+- `include/xrpl/telemetry/SpanGuard.h` — add `addEvent()` overload
+- `include/xrpl/telemetry/Telemetry.h` — add `startSpan()` with links
+- `src/xrpld/telemetry/Telemetry.cpp` — implement new overload
+- `src/xrpld/telemetry/NullTelemetry.cpp` — no-op implementation
+- `src/xrpld/telemetry/TracingInstrumentation.h` — add `XRPL_TRACE_ADD_EVENT` macro
+
+---
+
+## Task 4a.1: Adaptor `getTelemetry()` Method
+
+**Objective**: Give `Consensus.h` access to the telemetry subsystem without
+coupling the generic template to OTel headers.
+
+**What to do**:
+
+- Add `getTelemetry()` method to the Adaptor concept (returns
+  `xrpl::telemetry::Telemetry&`). The return type is already forward-declared
+  behind `#ifdef XRPL_ENABLE_TELEMETRY`.
+- Implement in `RCLConsensus::Adaptor` — delegates to `app_.getTelemetry()`.
+- In `Consensus.h`, the `XRPL_TRACE_*` macros call
+  `adaptor_.getTelemetry()` — when telemetry is disabled, the macros expand to
+  `((void)0)` and the method is never called.
+
+**Key modified files**:
+
+- `src/xrpld/app/consensus/RCLConsensus.h` — declare `getTelemetry()`
+- `src/xrpld/app/consensus/RCLConsensus.cpp` — implement `getTelemetry()`
+
+---
+
+## Task 4a.2: Switchable Round Span with Deterministic Trace ID
+
+**Objective**: Create a `consensus.round` root span in `startRound()` that uses
+the switchable correlation strategy. Store span context as a member for child
+spans in `Consensus.h`.
+
+**What to do**:
+
+- In `RCLConsensus::Adaptor::startRound()` (or a new helper):
+  - Read `consensus_trace_strategy` from config.
+  - **Deterministic**: compute `trace_id = SHA256(prevLedgerID)[0:16]`.
+    Construct a `SpanContext` with this trace_id, then start
+    `consensus.round` span as child of that context.
+  - **Attribute**: start normal `consensus.round` span.
+  - Set attributes on both: `xrpl.consensus.round_id`,
+    `xrpl.consensus.ledger_id`, `xrpl.consensus.ledger.seq`,
+    `xrpl.consensus.mode`.
+  - Store the round span in `Consensus` as a member (see Task 4a.3).
+  - If a previous round's span context is available, add a **span link**
+    (follows-from) to establish the round chain.
+
+- Add `createDeterministicTraceId(hash)` utility to
+  `include/xrpl/telemetry/Telemetry.h` (returns 16-byte trace ID from a
+  256-bit hash by truncation).
+
+- Add `consensus_trace_strategy` to `Telemetry::Setup` and
+  `TelemetryConfig.cpp` parser:
+  ```cpp
+  /** Cross-node correlation strategy: "deterministic" or "attribute". */
+  std::string consensusTraceStrategy = "deterministic";
+  ```
+
+**Key modified files**:
+
+- `src/xrpld/app/consensus/RCLConsensus.cpp`
+- `include/xrpl/telemetry/Telemetry.h` — `createDeterministicTraceId()`
+- `src/xrpld/telemetry/TelemetryConfig.cpp` — parse new config option
+
+---
+
+## Task 4a.3: Span Members in `Consensus.h`
+
+**Objective**: Add span storage to the `Consensus` class so that spans created
+in `startRound()` (adaptor) are accessible from `phaseEstablish()`,
+`updateOurPositions()`, and `haveConsensus()` (template methods).
+
+**What to do**:
+
+- Add to `Consensus` private members (guarded by `#ifdef XRPL_ENABLE_TELEMETRY`):
+  ```cpp
+  #ifdef XRPL_ENABLE_TELEMETRY
+  std::optional<xrpl::telemetry::SpanGuard> roundSpan_;
+  std::optional<xrpl::telemetry::SpanGuard> establishSpan_;
+  opentelemetry::context::Context prevRoundContext_;
+  #endif
+  ```
+- `roundSpan_` is created in `startRound()` via the adaptor and stored.
+  Its `SpanGuard::Scope` member keeps the span active on the thread context
+  for the entire round lifetime.
+- `establishSpan_` is created when entering phaseEstablish and cleared on accept.
+  It becomes a child of `roundSpan_` via OTel's thread-local context propagation.
+- `prevRoundContext_` stores the previous round's context for follows-from links.
+
+**Threading assumption**: `startRound()`, `phaseEstablish()`, `updateOurPositions()`,
+and `haveConsensus()` all run on the same thread (the consensus job queue thread).
+This is required for the `SpanGuard::Scope`-based parent-child hierarchy to work.
+The `Consensus` class documentation confirms it is NOT thread-safe and calls are
+serialized by the application.
+
+- Add conditional include at top of `Consensus.h`:
+  ```cpp
+  #ifdef XRPL_ENABLE_TELEMETRY
+  #include <xrpl/telemetry/SpanGuard.h>
+  #include <xrpld/telemetry/TracingInstrumentation.h>
+  #endif
+  ```
+
+**Key modified files**:
+
+- `src/xrpld/consensus/Consensus.h`
+
+---
+
+## Task 4a.4: Instrument `phaseEstablish()`
+
+**Objective**: Create `consensus.establish` span wrapping the establish phase,
+with attributes for convergence progress.
+
+**What to do**:
+
+- At the start of `phaseEstablish()` (line 1298), if `establishSpan_` is not
+  yet created, create it as child of `roundSpan_` using the **direct API**
+  (NOT the `XRPL_TRACE_CONSENSUS` macro, which creates a local variable):
+
+  ```cpp
+  #ifdef XRPL_ENABLE_TELEMETRY
+  if (!establishSpan_ && adaptor_.getTelemetry().shouldTraceConsensus())
+  {
+      establishSpan_.emplace(
+          adaptor_.getTelemetry().startSpan("consensus.establish"));
+  }
+  #endif
+  ```
+
+- Set attributes on each call:
+  - `xrpl.consensus.converge_percent` — `convergePercent_`
+  - `xrpl.consensus.establish_count` — `establishCounter_`
+  - `xrpl.consensus.proposers` — `currPeerPositions_.size()`
+
+- On phase exit (transition to accept), close the establish span and record
+  final duration.
+
+**Key modified files**:
+
+- `src/xrpld/consensus/Consensus.h` — `phaseEstablish()` method
+
+---
+
+## Task 4a.5: Instrument `updateOurPositions()`
+
+**Objective**: Trace each position update cycle including dispute resolution
+details.
+
+**What to do**:
+
+- At the start of `updateOurPositions()` (line 1418), create a scoped child
+  span. This method is called and returns within a single `phaseEstablish()`
+  call, so the `XRPL_TRACE_CONSENSUS` macro works here (scoped local):
+
+  ```cpp
+  XRPL_TRACE_CONSENSUS(adaptor_.getTelemetry(), "consensus.update_positions");
+  ```
+
+- Set attributes:
+  - `xrpl.consensus.disputes_count` — `result_->disputes.size()`
+  - `xrpl.consensus.converge_percent` — current convergence
+  - `xrpl.consensus.proposers_agreed` — count of peers with same position
+  - `xrpl.consensus.proposers_total` — total peer positions
+
+- Inside the dispute resolution loop, for each dispute that changes our vote,
+  add an **event** with attributes using `XRPL_TRACE_ADD_EVENT` (from Task 4a.0):
+  ```cpp
+  XRPL_TRACE_ADD_EVENT("dispute.resolve", {
+      {"xrpl.tx.id", std::string(tx_id)},
+      {"xrpl.dispute.our_vote", our_vote},
+      {"xrpl.dispute.yays", static_cast<int64_t>(yays)},
+      {"xrpl.dispute.nays", static_cast<int64_t>(nays)}
+  });
+  ```
+
+**Key modified files**:
+
+- `src/xrpld/consensus/Consensus.h` — `updateOurPositions()` method
+
+---
+
+## Task 4a.6: Instrument `haveConsensus()` (Threshold & Convergence)
+
+**Objective**: Trace consensus checking including threshold escalation
+(`ConsensusParms::AvalancheState::{init, mid, late, stuck}`).
+
+**What to do**:
+
+- At the start of `haveConsensus()` (line 1598), create a scoped child span:
+
+  ```cpp
+  XRPL_TRACE_CONSENSUS(adaptor_.getTelemetry(), "consensus.check");
+  ```
+
+- Set attributes:
+  - `xrpl.consensus.agree_count` — peers that agree with our position
+  - `xrpl.consensus.disagree_count` — peers that disagree
+  - `xrpl.consensus.converge_percent` — convergence percentage
+  - `xrpl.consensus.result` — ConsensusState result (Yes/No/MovedOn)
+
+- The free function `checkConsensus()` in `Consensus.cpp` (line 151) determines
+  thresholds based on `currentAgreeTime`. Threshold values come from
+  `ConsensusParms::avalancheCutoffs` (defined in `ConsensusParms.h`).
+  The escalation states are `ConsensusParms::AvalancheState::{init, mid, late, stuck}`.
+  Record the effective threshold as an attribute on the span:
+  - `xrpl.consensus.threshold_percent` — current threshold from `avalancheCutoffs`
+
+**Key modified files**:
+
+- `src/xrpld/consensus/Consensus.h` — `haveConsensus()` method
+
+---
+
+## Task 4a.7: Instrument Mode Changes
+
+**Objective**: Trace consensus mode transitions (proposing ↔ observing,
+wrongLedger, switchedLedger).
+
+**What to do**:
+
+Mode changes are rare (typically 0-1 per round), so a **standalone short-lived
+span** is appropriate (not an event). This captures timing of the mode change
+itself.
+
+- In `RCLConsensus::Adaptor::onModeChange()`, create a scoped span:
+
+  ```cpp
+  XRPL_TRACE_CONSENSUS(app_.getTelemetry(), "consensus.mode_change");
+  XRPL_TRACE_SET_ATTR("xrpl.consensus.mode.old", to_string(before).c_str());
+  XRPL_TRACE_SET_ATTR("xrpl.consensus.mode.new", to_string(after).c_str());
+  ```
+
+- Note: `MonitoredMode::set()` (line 304 in `Consensus.h`) calls
+  `adaptor_.onModeChange(before, after)` — so the span is created in the
+  adaptor, which already has telemetry access. No instrumentation needed
+  in `Consensus.h` for this task.
+
+**Key modified files**:
+
+- `src/xrpld/app/consensus/RCLConsensus.cpp` — `onModeChange()`
+
+---
+
+## Task 4a.8: Reparent Existing Spans Under Round
+
+**Objective**: Make existing consensus spans (`consensus.accept`,
+`consensus.accept.apply`, `consensus.validation.send`) children of the
+`consensus.round` root span instead of being standalone.
+
+**What to do**:
+
+- The existing spans in `onAccept()`, `doAccept()`, and `validate()` use
+  `XRPL_TRACE_CONSENSUS(app_.getTelemetry(), ...)` which creates standalone
+  spans on the current thread's context.
+- After Task 4a.2 creates the round span and stores it, these methods run on
+  the same thread within the round span's scope, so they automatically become
+  children. Verify this works correctly.
+- For `consensus.validation.send`: add a **span link** (follows-from) to the
+  round span context, since the validation may be processed after the round
+  completes.
+
+**Key modified files**:
+
+- `src/xrpld/app/consensus/RCLConsensus.cpp` — verify parent-child hierarchy
+
+---
+
+## Task 4a.9: Build Verification and Testing
+
+**Objective**: Verify all Phase 4a changes compile cleanly with telemetry ON
+and OFF, and don't affect consensus timing.
+
+**What to do**:
+
+1. Build with `telemetry=ON` — verify no compilation errors
+2. Build with `telemetry=OFF` — verify macros expand to no-ops, no new includes
+   leak into `Consensus.h` when disabled
+3. Run existing consensus unit tests
+4. Verify `#ifdef XRPL_ENABLE_TELEMETRY` guards on all new members in
+   `Consensus.h`
+5. Run `pccl` pre-commit checks
+
+**Verification Checklist**:
+
+- [x] Build succeeds with telemetry ON
+- [x] Build succeeds with telemetry OFF
+- [x] Existing consensus tests pass
+- [x] `Consensus.h` has zero OTel includes when telemetry is OFF
+- [x] No new virtual calls in hot consensus paths
+- [x] `pccl` passes

+
+### Implementation Notes
+
+- **Separation of concerns**: All non-trivial telemetry code extracted to private
+  helpers (`startRoundTracing`, `createValidationSpan`, `startEstablishTracing`,
+  `updateEstablishTracing`, `endEstablishTracing`). Business logic methods contain
+  only single-line `#ifdef` blocks calling these helpers.
+- **Thread safety**: `createValidationSpan()` runs on the jtACCEPT worker thread.
+  Instead of accessing `roundSpan_` across threads, a `roundSpanContext_` snapshot
+  (lightweight `SpanContext` value type) is captured on the consensus thread in
+  `startRoundTracing()` and read by `createValidationSpan()`. The job queue
+  provides the happens-before guarantee.
+- **Macro safety**: `XRPL_TRACE_ADD_EVENT` uses `do { } while (0)` to prevent
+  dangling-else issues.
+- **Config validation**: `consensus_trace_strategy` is validated to be either
+  `"deterministic"` or `"attribute"`, falling back to `"deterministic"` for
+  unrecognised values.
+- **Plan deviation**: `roundSpan_` is stored in `RCLConsensus::Adaptor` (not
+  `Consensus.h`) because the adaptor has access to telemetry config and can
+  implement the deterministic trace ID strategy. `establishSpan_` is correctly
+  in `Consensus.h` as planned.

+
+## Span Link Semantics
+
+Received messages use **span links** (follows-from), NOT parent-child:
+
+- The receiver's processing span links to the sender's context
+- This preserves each node's independent trace tree
+- Cross-node correlation visible via linked traces in Tempo
+
+## Interaction with Deterministic Trace ID (Strategy A)
+
+When using deterministic trace_id (Phase 4a default), cross-node spans already
+share the same trace_id. P2P propagation adds **span-level** linking:
+
+- Without propagation: spans from different nodes appear in the same trace
+  (same trace_id) but without parent-child or follows-from relationships.
+- With propagation: spans have explicit links showing which proposal/validation
+  from Node A caused processing on Node B.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- Phase 4a (this task list) — establish phase tracing must be in place
+- `TraceContextPropagator` class (already exists in
+  `include/xrpl/telemetry/TraceContextPropagator.h`)
+- Protobuf `TraceContext` message (already exists, field 1001)

+  - **OTelCounterImpl**: Wraps `opentelemetry::metrics::Counter<int64_t>`. `increment(amount)` calls `counter->Add(amount)`.
+  - **OTelGaugeImpl**: Uses `opentelemetry::metrics::ObservableGauge<uint64_t>` with an async callback. `set(value)` stores value atomically; callback reads it during collection.
+  - **OTelMeterImpl**: Wraps `opentelemetry::metrics::Counter<uint64_t>`. `increment(amount)` calls `counter->Add(amount)`. Semantically identical to Counter but unsigned.
+  - **OTelEventImpl**: Wraps `opentelemetry::metrics::Histogram<double>`. `notify(duration)` calls `histogram->Record(duration.count())`. Uses explicit bucket boundaries matching SpanMetrics: [1, 5, 10, 25, 50, 100, 250, 500, 1000, 5000] ms.
+  - **OTelHookImpl**: Stores handler function. Called during periodic metric collection (same 1s pattern via PeriodicMetricReader).
+  - **OTelCollectorImp**: Main class.
+    - Creates `MeterProvider` with `PeriodicMetricReader` (1s export interval)
+    - Creates `OtlpHttpMetricExporter` pointing to `[telemetry]` endpoint
+    - Sets resource attributes (service.name, service.instance.id) matching trace exporter
+    - Implements all `make_*()` factory methods
+    - Prefixes metric names with `[insight] prefix=` value
+
+- Guard all OTel SDK includes with `#ifdef XRPL_ENABLE_TELEMETRY` to compile to `NullCollector` equivalents when telemetry disabled.
+
+**Key new files**:
+
+- `include/xrpl/beast/insight/OTelCollector.h`
+- `src/libxrpl/beast/insight/OTelCollector.cpp`
+
+**Key patterns to follow**:
+
+- Match `StatsDCollector.cpp` structure: private impl classes, intrusive list for metrics, strand-based thread safety
+- Match existing telemetry code style from `src/libxrpl/telemetry/Telemetry.cpp`
+- Use RAII for MeterProvider lifecycle (shutdown on destructor)
+
+**Reference**: [04-code-samples.md](./04-code-samples.md) — code style and patterns

+
+## Task 7.3: Update CollectorManager
+
+**Objective**: Add `server=otel` config option to route metric creation to the new OTel backend.
+
+**What to do**:
+
+- Edit `src/xrpld/app/main/CollectorManager.cpp`:
+  - In the constructor, add a third branch after `server == "statsd"`:
+    ```cpp
+    else if (server == "otel")
+    {
+        // Read endpoint from [telemetry] section
+        auto const endpoint = get(telemetryParams, "endpoint",
+            "http://localhost:4318/v1/metrics");
+        std::string const& prefix(get(params, "prefix"));
+        m_collector = beast::insight::OTelCollector::New(
+            endpoint, prefix, journal);
+    }
+    ```
+  - This requires access to the `[telemetry]` config section — may need to pass it as a parameter or read from Application config.
+
+- Edit `src/xrpld/app/main/CollectorManager.h`:
+  - Add `#include <xrpl/beast/insight/OTelCollector.h>`
+
+**Key modified files**:
+
+- `src/xrpld/app/main/CollectorManager.cpp`
+- `src/xrpld/app/main/CollectorManager.h`
+
+---
+
+## Task 7.4: Update OTel Collector Configuration
+
+**Objective**: Add a metrics pipeline to the OTLP receiver and remove the StatsD receiver dependency.
+
+**What to do**:
+
+- Edit `docker/telemetry/otel-collector-config.yaml`:
+  - Remove `statsd` receiver (no longer needed when `server=otel`)
+  - Add metrics pipeline under `service.pipelines`:
+    ```yaml
+    metrics:
+      receivers: [otlp, spanmetrics]
+      processors: [batch]
+      exporters: [prometheus]
+    ```
+  - The OTLP receiver already listens on :4318 — it just needs to be added to the metrics pipeline receivers.
+  - Keep `spanmetrics` connector in the metrics pipeline so span-derived RED metrics continue working.
+
+- Edit `docker/telemetry/docker-compose.yml`:
+  - Remove UDP :8125 port mapping from otel-collector service
+  - Update rippled service config: change `[insight] server=statsd` to `server=otel`
+
+**Key modified files**:
+
+- `docker/telemetry/otel-collector-config.yaml`
+- `docker/telemetry/docker-compose.yml`
+
+**Note**: Keep a commented-out `statsd` receiver block for operators who need backward compatibility.
+
+---
+
+## Task 7.5: Preserve Metric Names in Prometheus
+
+**Objective**: Ensure existing Grafana dashboards continue working with identical metric names.
+
+**What to do**:
+
+- In `OTelCollector.cpp`, construct OTel instrument names to match existing Prometheus metric names:
+  - beast::insight `make_gauge("LedgerMaster", "Validated_Ledger_Age")` → OTel instrument name: `rippled_LedgerMaster_Validated_Ledger_Age`
+  - The prefix + group + name concatenation must produce the same string as `StatsDCollector`'s format
+  - Use underscores as separators (matching StatsD convention)
+
+- Verify in integration test that key Prometheus queries still return data:
+  - `rippled_LedgerMaster_Validated_Ledger_Age`
+  - `rippled_Peer_Finder_Active_Inbound_Peers`
+  - `rippled_rpc_requests`
+
+**Key consideration**: OTel Prometheus exporter may normalize metric names differently than StatsD receiver. Test this early (Task 7.2) and adjust naming strategy if needed. The OTel SDK's Prometheus exporter adds `_total` suffix to counters and converts dots to underscores — match existing conventions.
+
+---
+
+## Task 7.6: Update Grafana Dashboards
+
+**Objective**: Update the 3 StatsD dashboards if any metric names change due to OTLP export format differences.
+
+**What to do**:
+
+- If Task 7.5 confirms metric names are preserved exactly, no dashboard changes needed.
+- If OTLP export produces different names (e.g., `_total` suffix on counters), update:
+  - `docker/telemetry/grafana/dashboards/statsd-node-health.json`
+  - `docker/telemetry/grafana/dashboards/statsd-network-traffic.json`
+  - `docker/telemetry/grafana/dashboards/statsd-rpc-pathfinding.json`
+- Rename dashboard titles from "StatsD" to "System Metrics" or similar (since they're no longer StatsD-sourced).
+
+**Key modified files**:
+
+- `docker/telemetry/grafana/dashboards/statsd-*.json` (3 files, conditionally)
+
+---
+
+## Task 7.7: Update Integration Tests
+
+**Objective**: Verify the full OTLP metrics pipeline end-to-end.
+
+**What to do**:
+
+- Edit `docker/telemetry/integration-test.sh`:
+  - Update test config to use `[insight] server=otel`
+  - Verify metrics arrive in Prometheus via OTLP (not StatsD)
+  - Add check that StatsD receiver is no longer required
+  - Preserve all existing metric presence checks
+
+**Key modified files**:
+
+- `docker/telemetry/integration-test.sh`
+
+---
+
+## Task 7.8: Update Documentation
+
+**Objective**: Update all plan docs, runbook, and reference docs to reflect the migration.
+
+**What to do**:
+
+- Edit `docs/telemetry-runbook.md`:
+  - Update `[insight]` config examples to show `server=otel`
+  - Update troubleshooting section (no more StatsD UDP debugging)
+
+- Edit `OpenTelemetryPlan/09-data-collection-reference.md`:
+  - Update Data Flow Overview diagram (remove StatsD receiver)
+  - Update Section 2 header from "StatsD Metrics" to "System Metrics (OTel native)"
+  - Update config examples
+
+- Edit `OpenTelemetryPlan/05-configuration-reference.md`:
+  - Add `server=otel` option to `[insight]` section docs
+
+- Edit `docker/telemetry/TESTING.md`:
+  - Update setup instructions to use `server=otel`
+
+**Key modified files**:
+
+- `docs/telemetry-runbook.md`
+- `OpenTelemetryPlan/09-data-collection-reference.md`
+- `OpenTelemetryPlan/05-configuration-reference.md`
+- `docker/telemetry/TESTING.md`

+## Task 7.9: ValidationTracker — Validation Agreement Computation
+
+> **Source**: [External Dashboard Parity](../docs/superpowers/specs/2026-03-30-external-dashboard-parity-design.md) — the most valuable metric from the community [xrpl-validator-dashboard](https://github.com/realgrapedrop/xrpl-validator-dashboard).
+>
+> **Upstream**: Phase 4 Task 4.8 (validation span attributes provide ledger hash context).
+> **Downstream**: Phase 9 (Validator Health dashboard), Phase 10 (validation checks), Phase 11 (agreement alert rules).
+
+**Objective**: Implement a stateful class that tracks whether our validator's validations agree with network consensus, maintaining rolling 1h and 24h windows with an 8-second grace period and 5-minute late repair window.
+
+**Architecture**:
+
+```
+consensus.validation.send ────> ValidationTracker ────> MetricsRegistry
+(records our validation         (reconciles after       (exports agreement
+ for ledger X)                   8s grace period)        gauges every 10s)
+
+ledger.validate ──────────────> ValidationTracker
+(records which ledger           (marks ledger X as
+ network validated)              agreed or missed)
+```
+
+**What to do**:
+
+- Create `src/xrpld/telemetry/ValidationTracker.h`:
+  - `recordOurValidation(ledgerHash, ledgerSeq)` — called when we send a validation
+  - `recordNetworkValidation(ledgerHash, seq)` — called when a ledger is fully validated
+  - `reconcile()` — called periodically; reconciles pending ledger events after 8s grace period
+  - Getters: `agreementPct1h()`, `agreementPct24h()`, `agreements1h()`, `missed1h()`, `agreements24h()`, `missed24h()`, `totalAgreements()`, `totalMissed()`, `totalValidationsSent()`, `totalValidationsChecked()`
+  - Thread-safety: atomics for counters, mutex for window deques
+
+- Create `src/xrpld/telemetry/detail/ValidationTracker.cpp`:
+  - Reconciliation logic: after 8s grace period, check if `weValidated && networkValidated && sameHash` → agreement; else missed
+  - Late repair: if a late validation arrives within 5 minutes, correct a false-positive miss
+  - Sliding window: `std::deque<WindowEvent>` evicts entries older than 1h/24h on each reconciliation pass
+  - Ring buffer of 1000 `LedgerEvent` structs for pending reconciliation
+
+- Add recording hooks (modifying Phase 4 code from Phase 7 branch):
+  - `RCLConsensus.cpp` `validate()`: call `tracker.recordOurValidation()`
+  - `LedgerMaster.cpp` fully-validated path: call `tracker.recordNetworkValidation()`
+
+**Key data structures**:
+
+```cpp
+struct LedgerEvent {
+    uint256 ledgerHash;
+    LedgerIndex seq;
+    TimePoint closeTime;
+    bool weValidated = false;
+    bool networkValidated = false;
+    bool reconciled = false;
+    bool agreed = false;
+};
+
+struct WindowEvent {
+    TimePoint time;
+    bool agreed;
+};
+```
+
+**Key new files**:
+
+- `src/xrpld/telemetry/ValidationTracker.h`
+- `src/xrpld/telemetry/detail/ValidationTracker.cpp`
+
+**Key modified files**:
+
+- `src/xrpld/telemetry/MetricsRegistry.h` (add ValidationTracker member)
+- `src/xrpld/telemetry/MetricsRegistry.cpp` (add gauge callback reading from tracker)
+- `src/xrpld/app/consensus/RCLConsensus.cpp` (add recording hooks)
+- `src/xrpld/app/ledger/detail/LedgerMaster.cpp` (add recording hook)
+
+**Exit Criteria**:
+
+- [ ] ValidationTracker correctly tracks agreement with 8s grace period
+- [ ] 5-minute late repair corrects false-positive misses
+- [ ] Thread-safe (atomics + mutex for window deques)
+- [ ] Rolling windows correctly evict stale entries
+- [ ] Unit tests: normal agreement, missed validation, late repair, window eviction

+## Task 7.10: Validator Health Observable Gauges
+
+> **Source**: [External Dashboard Parity](../docs/superpowers/specs/2026-03-30-external-dashboard-parity-design.md)
+
+**Objective**: Export amendment blocked, UNL health, and quorum data as a native OTel observable gauge.
+
+**What to do**:
+
+- In `MetricsRegistry.cpp` `registerAsyncGauges()`, add:
+
+```cpp
+validatorHealthGauge_ = meter_->CreateDoubleObservableGauge(
+    "rippled_validator_health", "Validator health indicators");
+```
+
+**Gauge label values**:
+
+| Label `metric=`     | Type   | Source                                            |
+| ------------------- | ------ | ------------------------------------------------- |
+| `amendment_blocked` | int64  | `app_.getOPs().isAmendmentBlocked()` → 0/1        |
+| `unl_blocked`       | int64  | `app_.getOPs().isUNLBlocked()` → 0/1              |
+| `unl_expiry_days`   | double | `app_.validators().expires()` → days until expiry |
+| `validation_quorum` | int64  | `app_.validators().quorum()`                      |
+
+**Key modified files**: `src/xrpld/telemetry/MetricsRegistry.h/.cpp`
+
+**Exit Criteria**:
+
+- [ ] All 4 label values emitted every 10s
+- [ ] `unl_expiry_days` is negative when expired, positive when active
+- [ ] Values visible in Prometheus

+
+## Task 7.11: Peer Quality Observable Gauges
+
+> **Source**: [External Dashboard Parity](../docs/superpowers/specs/2026-03-30-external-dashboard-parity-design.md)
+
+**Objective**: Export peer health aggregates (latency P90, insane peers, version awareness) as a native OTel observable gauge.
+
+**What to do**:
+
+- In `MetricsRegistry.cpp` `registerAsyncGauges()`, add a callback that iterates `app_.overlay().foreach(...)` to:
+  - Collect per-peer latency values, sort, compute P90
+  - Count peers with `tracking_ == diverged` (insane)
+  - Compare peer `getVersion()` to own version for upgrade awareness
+
+**Gauge label values**:
+
+| Label `metric=`            | Type   | Source                                |
+| -------------------------- | ------ | ------------------------------------- |
+| `peer_latency_p90_ms`      | double | P90 from sorted peer latencies        |
+| `peers_insane_count`       | int64  | Peers with diverged tracking status   |
+| `peers_higher_version_pct` | double | % of peers on newer rippled version   |
+| `upgrade_recommended`      | int64  | 1 if `peers_higher_version_pct > 60%` |
+
+**Implementation note**: The callback runs every 10s on the metrics reader thread. Iterating ~50-200 peers is acceptable overhead.
+
+**Key modified files**: `src/xrpld/telemetry/MetricsRegistry.h/.cpp`
+
+**Exit Criteria**:
+
+- [ ] P90 latency computed correctly
+- [ ] Insane count matches `peers` RPC output
+- [ ] Version comparison handles format variations (e.g., "rippled-2.4.0-rc1")

+
+**Objective**: Export fee, reserve, ledger age, and transaction rate as a native OTel observable gauge.
+
+**Gauge label values**:
+
+| Label `metric=`      | Type   | Source                                              |
+| -------------------- | ------ | --------------------------------------------------- |
+| `base_fee_xrp`       | double | Base fee from validated ledger fee settings (drops) |

+
+**State value encoding**: 0=disconnected, 1=connected, 2=syncing, 3=tracking, 4=full, 5=validating (full + validating), 6=proposing (full + proposing).
+
+**Key modified files**: `src/xrpld/telemetry/MetricsRegistry.h/.cpp`

+
+## Task 8.1: Inject trace_id into Logs::format()
+
+**Objective**: Add OTel trace context to every log line that is emitted within an active span.
+
+**What to do**:
+
+- Edit `src/libxrpl/basics/Log.cpp`:
+  - In `Logs::format()` (around line 346), after severity is appended, check for active OTel span:
+    ```cpp
+    #ifdef XRPL_ENABLE_TELEMETRY
+    auto span = opentelemetry::trace::GetSpan(
+        opentelemetry::context::RuntimeContext::GetCurrent());
+    auto ctx = span->GetContext();
+    if (ctx.IsValid())
+    {
+        // Append trace context as structured fields
+        char traceId[33], spanId[17];
+        ctx.trace_id().ToLowerBase16(traceId);
+        ctx.span_id().ToLowerBase16(spanId);
+        output += "trace_id=";
+        output.append(traceId, 32);
+        output += " span_id=";
+        output.append(spanId, 16);
+        output += ' ';
+    }
+    #endif
+    ```
+  - Add `#include` for OTel context headers, guarded by `#ifdef XRPL_ENABLE_TELEMETRY`
+
+- Edit `include/xrpl/basics/Log.h`:
+  - No changes needed — format() signature unchanged
+
+**Key modified files**:
+
+- `src/libxrpl/basics/Log.cpp`
+
+**Performance note**: `GetSpan()` and `GetContext()` are thread-local reads with no locking — measured at <10ns per call. With ~1000 JLOG calls/min, this adds <10us/min of overhead.
+
+---
+
+## Task 8.2: Add Loki to Docker Compose Stack
+
+**Objective**: Add Grafana Loki as a log storage backend in the development observability stack.
+
+**What to do**:
+
+- Edit `docker/telemetry/docker-compose.yml`:
+  - Add Loki service:
+    ```yaml
+    loki:
+      image: grafana/loki:2.9.0
+      ports:

+      command: -config.file=/etc/loki/local-config.yaml
+    ```
+  - Add Loki as a Grafana data source in provisioning

+
+## Task 8.3: Add Filelog Receiver to OTel Collector
+
+**Objective**: Configure the OTel Collector to tail rippled's log file and export to Loki.
+
+**What to do**:
+
+- Edit `docker/telemetry/otel-collector-config.yaml`:
+  - Add `filelog` receiver:
+    ```yaml
+    receivers:
+      filelog:
+        include: [/var/log/rippled/debug.log]
+        operators:
+          - type: regex_parser
+            regex: '^(?P<timestamp>\S+)\s+(?P<partition>\S+):(?P<severity>\S+)\s+(?:trace_id=(?P<trace_id>[a-f0-9]+)\s+span_id=(?P<span_id>[a-f0-9]+)\s+)?(?P<message>.*)$'

+              layout: "%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S.%fZ"
+    ```
+  - Add logs pipeline:

+      pipelines:
+        logs:
+          receivers: [filelog]
+          processors: [batch]
+          exporters: [otlp/loki]
+    ```
+  - Add Loki exporter:
+    ```yaml
+    exporters:
+      otlp/loki:
+        endpoint: loki:3100
+        tls:
+          insecure: true
+    ```
+
+- Mount rippled's log directory into the collector container via docker-compose volume
+
+**Key modified files**:
+
+- `docker/telemetry/otel-collector-config.yaml`
+- `docker/telemetry/docker-compose.yml`
+
+---
+
+## Task 8.4: Configure Grafana Trace-to-Log Correlation
+
+**Objective**: Enable one-click navigation from Tempo traces to Loki logs in Grafana.
+
+**What to do**:
+
+- Edit Grafana Tempo data source provisioning to add `tracesToLogs` configuration:
+
+  ```yaml
+  tracesToLogs:
+    datasourceUid: loki
+    filterByTraceID: true
+    filterBySpanID: false
+    tags: ["partition", "severity"]
+  ```
+
+- Edit Grafana Loki data source provisioning to add `derivedFields` linking trace_id back to Tempo:
+  ```yaml
+  derivedFields:
+    - datasourceUid: tempo
+      matcherRegex: "trace_id=(\\w+)"
+      name: TraceID
+      url: "$${__value.raw}"

+- `docker/telemetry/grafana/provisioning/datasources/loki.yaml`
+- `docker/telemetry/grafana/provisioning/datasources/` (Tempo data source file)
+
+---
+
+## Task 8.5: Update Integration Tests
+
+**Objective**: Verify trace_id appears in logs and Loki correlation works.
+
+**What to do**:
+
+- Edit `docker/telemetry/integration-test.sh`:
+  - After sending RPC requests (which create spans), grep rippled's log output for `trace_id=`
+  - Verify trace_id matches a trace visible in Tempo
+  - Optionally: query Loki via API to confirm log ingestion
+
+**Key modified files**:
+
+- `docker/telemetry/integration-test.sh`
+
+---
+
+## Task 8.6: Update Documentation
+
+**Objective**: Document the log correlation feature in runbook and reference docs.
+
+**What to do**:

+
+## Task 9.1: NodeStore I/O Metrics
+
+**Objective**: Export node store read/write performance as time-series metrics.
+
+**What to do**:
+
+- In `src/libxrpl/nodestore/Database.cpp`, extend existing `beast::insight` registrations to add:
+  - Gauge: `node_reads_total` (cumulative read operations)
+  - Gauge: `node_reads_hit` (cache-served reads)
+  - Gauge: `node_writes` (cumulative write operations)
+  - Gauge: `node_written_bytes` (cumulative bytes written)
+  - Gauge: `node_read_bytes` (cumulative bytes read)
+  - Gauge: `node_reads_duration_us` (cumulative read time in microseconds)
+  - Gauge: `write_load` (current write load score)
+  - Gauge: `read_queue` (items in read queue)
+
+- These values are already computed in `Database::getCountsJson()` (line ~236). Wire the same counters to `beast::insight` hooks.
+
+**Key modified files**:
+
+- `src/libxrpl/nodestore/Database.cpp`
+- `src/libxrpl/nodestore/Database.h` (add insight members)
+
+**Derived Prometheus metrics**: `rippled_nodestore_reads_total`, `rippled_nodestore_reads_hit`, `rippled_nodestore_write_load`, etc.

+**Grafana dashboard**: Add "NodeStore I/O" panel group to _Node Health_ dashboard.
+
+---
+
+## Task 9.2: Cache Hit Rate Metrics
+
+**Objective**: Export SHAMap and ledger cache performance as time-series gauges.
+
+**What to do**:
+
+- Register OTel `ObservableGauge` callbacks (via Phase 7's `OTelCollector`) for:

+  - `ledger_hit_rate` — Ledger object cache hit rate
+  - `AL_hit_rate` — AcceptedLedger cache hit rate
+  - `treenode_cache_size` — SHAMap TreeNode cache size (entries)
+  - `treenode_track_size` — Tracked tree nodes
+  - `fullbelow_size` — FullBelow cache size
+
+- The callback should read from the same sources as `GetCounts.cpp` handler (line ~43).
+
+- Create a centralized `MetricsRegistry` class that holds all OTel async gauge registrations, polled at 10-second intervals by the `PeriodicMetricReader`.
+
+**Key modified files**:
+
+- New: `src/xrpld/telemetry/MetricsRegistry.h` / `.cpp`
+- `src/xrpld/rpc/handlers/GetCounts.cpp` (extract shared access methods)
+- `src/xrpld/app/main/Application.cpp` (register MetricsRegistry at startup)
+
+**Derived Prometheus metrics**: `rippled_cache_SLE_hit_rate`, `rippled_cache_ledger_hit_rate`, `rippled_cache_treenode_size`, etc.
+
+---
+
+## Task 9.3: Transaction Queue (TxQ) Metrics
+
+**Objective**: Export TxQ depth, capacity, and fee escalation levels as time-series.
+
+**What to do**:
+
+- Register OTel `ObservableGauge` callbacks for TxQ state (from `TxQ.h` line ~143):

+
+**Key modified files**:
+
+- `src/xrpld/telemetry/MetricsRegistry.cpp` (add TxQ callbacks)
+- `src/xrpld/app/tx/detail/TxQ.h` (expose metrics accessor if needed)
+
+**Derived Prometheus metrics**: `rippled_txq_count`, `rippled_txq_max_size`, `rippled_txq_open_ledger_fee_level`, etc.
+
+**Grafana dashboard**: New _Fee Market & TxQ_ dashboard (`rippled-fee-market`).
+
+---
+
+## Task 9.4: PerfLog Per-RPC Method Metrics
+
+**Objective**: Export per-RPC-method call counts and latency as OTel metrics.
+
+**What to do**:
+
+- Register OTel instruments for PerfLog RPC counters (from `PerfLogImp.cpp` line ~63):
+  - Counter: `rippled_rpc_method_started_total{method="<name>"}` — calls started
+  - Counter: `rippled_rpc_method_finished_total{method="<name>"}` — calls completed
+  - Counter: `rippled_rpc_method_errored_total{method="<name>"}` — calls errored
+  - Histogram: `rippled_rpc_method_duration_us{method="<name>"}` — execution time distribution
+
+- Use OTel `Counter<int64_t>` and `Histogram<double>` instruments with `method` attribute label.
+
+- Hook into the existing PerfLog callback mechanism rather than adding new instrumentation points.
+
+**Key modified files**:
+
+- `src/xrpld/perflog/detail/PerfLogImp.cpp` (add OTel instrument updates alongside existing JSON counters)
+- `src/xrpld/telemetry/MetricsRegistry.cpp` (register instruments)
+
+**Derived Prometheus metrics**: `rippled_rpc_method_started_total{method="server_info"}`, `rippled_rpc_method_duration_us_bucket{method="ledger"}`, etc.

+
+---
+
+## Task 9.5: PerfLog Per-Job-Type Metrics
+
+**Objective**: Export per-job-type queue and execution metrics.
+
+**What to do**:
+
+- Register OTel instruments for PerfLog job counters:
+  - Counter: `rippled_job_queued_total{job_type="<name>"}` — jobs queued
+  - Counter: `rippled_job_started_total{job_type="<name>"}` — jobs started
+  - Counter: `rippled_job_finished_total{job_type="<name>"}` — jobs completed

+- `src/xrpld/telemetry/MetricsRegistry.cpp`
+
+**Derived Prometheus metrics**: `rippled_job_queued_total{job_type="ledgerData"}`, `rippled_job_running_duration_us_bucket{job_type="transaction"}`, etc.
+
+**Grafana dashboard**: New _Job Queue Analysis_ dashboard (`rippled-job-queue`).
+
+---
+
+## Task 9.6: Counted Object Instance Metrics
+
+**Objective**: Export live instance counts for key internal object types.
+
+**What to do**:
+
+- Register OTel `ObservableGauge` callbacks for `CountedObject<T>` instance counts:
+  - `rippled_object_count{type="Transaction"}` — live Transaction objects
+  - `rippled_object_count{type="Ledger"}` — live Ledger objects
+  - `rippled_object_count{type="NodeObject"}` — live NodeObject instances
+  - `rippled_object_count{type="STTx"}` — serialized transaction objects
+  - `rippled_object_count{type="STLedgerEntry"}` — serialized ledger entries
+  - `rippled_object_count{type="InboundLedger"}` — ledgers being fetched
+  - `rippled_object_count{type="Pathfinder"}` — active pathfinding computations
+  - `rippled_object_count{type="PathRequest"}` — active path requests
+  - `rippled_object_count{type="HashRouterEntry"}` — hash router entries
+
+- The `CountedObject` template already tracks these via atomic counters. The callback just reads the current counts.
+
+**Key modified files**:
+
+- `src/xrpld/telemetry/MetricsRegistry.cpp` (add counted object callbacks)
+- `include/xrpl/basics/CountedObject.h` (may need static accessor for iteration)
+
+**Derived Prometheus metrics**: `rippled_object_count{type="Transaction"}`, `rippled_object_count{type="NodeObject"}`, etc.
+
+**Grafana dashboard**: Add "Object Instance Counts" panel to _Node Health_ dashboard.
+
+---
+
+## Task 9.7: Fee Escalation & Load Factor Metrics
+
+**Objective**: Export the full load factor breakdown as time-series.
+
+**What to do**:
+
+- Register OTel `ObservableGauge` callbacks for load factors (from `NetworkOPs.cpp` line ~2694):
+  - `load_factor` — combined transaction cost multiplier
+  - `load_factor_server` — server + cluster + network contribution
+  - `load_factor_local` — local server load only
+  - `load_factor_net` — network-wide load estimate
+  - `load_factor_cluster` — cluster peer load
+  - `load_factor_fee_escalation` — open ledger fee escalation
+  - `load_factor_fee_queue` — queue entry fee level
+
+- These overlap with some existing StatsD metrics but provide finer granularity (individual factor breakdown vs. combined value).
+
+**Key modified files**:
+
+- `src/xrpld/telemetry/MetricsRegistry.cpp`
+- `src/xrpld/app/misc/NetworkOPs.cpp` (expose load factor accessors if needed)
+
+**Derived Prometheus metrics**: `rippled_load_factor`, `rippled_load_factor_fee_escalation`, etc.
+
+**Grafana dashboard**: Add "Load Factor Breakdown" panel to _Fee Market & TxQ_ dashboard.
+
+---
+
+## Task 9.7a: push_metrics.py Parity — Missing Observable Gauges
+
+**Objective**: Fill the remaining metric gaps between the external `push_metrics.py` script (in `ripplex-ansible`) and the internal OTel `MetricsRegistry` observable gauges. After this task, all metrics collected by `push_metrics.py` that CAN be collected internally are covered.
+
+**What was done**:
+
+- Extended existing `cacheHitRateGauge_` callback with `AL_size` (AcceptedLedger cache size)
+- Extended existing `nodeStoreGauge_` callback with 4 new metrics from `getCountsJson()`:
+  - `node_reads_duration_us` (JSON string — uses `std::stoll(asString())`)
+  - `read_request_bundle` (native JSON int)
+  - `read_threads_running` (native JSON int)

+# OpenTelemetry Distributed Tracing for rippled
+
+---
+
+## Slide 1: Introduction
+
+> **CNCF** = Cloud Native Computing Foundation
+
+### What is OpenTelemetry?
+
+OpenTelemetry is an open-source, CNCF-backed observability framework for distributed tracing, metrics, and logs.
+
+### Why OpenTelemetry for rippled?
+
+- **End-to-End Transaction Visibility**: Track transactions from submission → consensus → ledger inclusion
+- **Cross-Node Correlation**: Follow requests across multiple independent nodes using a unique `trace_id`
+- **Consensus Round Analysis**: Understand timing and behavior across validators
+- **Incident Debugging**: Correlate events across distributed nodes during issues
+
+```mermaid
+flowchart LR
+    A["Node A<br/>tx.receive<br/>trace_id: abc123"] --> B["Node B<br/>tx.relay<br/>trace_id: abc123"] --> C["Node C<br/>tx.validate<br/>trace_id: abc123"] --> D["Node D<br/>ledger.apply<br/>trace_id: abc123"]
+
+    style A fill:#1565c0,stroke:#0d47a1,color:#fff
+    style B fill:#2e7d32,stroke:#1b5e20,color:#fff
+    style C fill:#2e7d32,stroke:#1b5e20,color:#fff
+    style D fill:#e65100,stroke:#bf360c,color:#fff
+```
+
+**Reading the diagram:**
+
+- **Node A (blue, leftmost)**: The originating node that first receives the transaction and assigns a new `trace_id: abc123`; this ID becomes the correlation key for the entire distributed trace.
+- **Node B and Node C (green, middle)**: Relay and validation nodes — each creates its own span but carries the same `trace_id`, so their work is linked to the original submission without any central coordinator.
+- **Node D (orange, rightmost)**: The final node that applies the transaction to the ledger; the trace now spans the full lifecycle from submission to ledger inclusion.
+- **Left-to-right flow**: The horizontal progression shows the real-world message path — a transaction hops from node to node, and the shared `trace_id` stitches all hops into a single queryable trace.
+
+> **Trace ID: abc123** — All nodes share the same trace, enabling cross-node correlation.
+
+---
+
+## Slide 2: OpenTelemetry vs Open Source Alternatives
+
+> **CNCF** = Cloud Native Computing Foundation
+
+| Feature             | OpenTelemetry    | Jaeger           | Zipkin             | SkyWalking | Pinpoint   | Prometheus |
+| ------------------- | ---------------- | ---------------- | ------------------ | ---------- | ---------- | ---------- |
+| **Tracing**         | YES              | YES              | YES                | YES        | YES        | NO         |
+| **Metrics**         | YES              | NO               | NO                 | YES        | YES        | YES        |
+| **Logs**            | YES              | NO               | NO                 | YES        | NO         | NO         |
+| **C++ SDK**         | YES Official     | YES (Deprecated) | YES (Unmaintained) | NO         | NO         | YES        |
+| **Vendor Neutral**  | YES Primary goal | NO               | NO                 | NO         | NO         | NO         |
+| **Instrumentation** | Manual + Auto    | Manual           | Manual             | Auto-first | Auto-first | Manual     |
+| **Backend**         | Any (exporters)  | Self             | Self               | Self       | Self       | Self       |
+| **CNCF Status**     | Incubating       | Graduated        | NO                 | Incubating | NO         | Graduated  |
+
+> **Why OpenTelemetry?** It's the only actively maintained, full-featured C++ option with vendor neutrality — allowing export to Tempo, Prometheus, Grafana, or any commercial backend without changing instrumentation.
+
+---
+
+## Slide 3: Adoption Scope — Traces Only (Current Plan)
+
+OpenTelemetry supports three signal types: **Traces**, **Metrics**, and **Logs**. rippled already captures metrics (StatsD via Beast Insight) and logs (Journal/PerfLog). The question is: how much of OTel do we adopt?
+
+> **Scenario A**: Add distributed tracing. Keep StatsD for metrics and Journal for logs.
+
+```mermaid
+flowchart LR
+    subgraph rippled["rippled Process"]
+        direction TB
+        OTel["OTel SDK<br/>(Traces)"]
+        Insight["Beast Insight<br/>(StatsD Metrics)"]
+        Journal["Journal + PerfLog<br/>(Logging)"]
+    end

+    Journal -->|"File I/O"| LogFile["perf.log / debug.log"]

+    StatsD --> Graphite["Graphite / Grafana"]
+    LogFile --> Loki["Loki (optional)"]

+    style Journal fill:#e65100,stroke:#bf360c,color:#fff
+    style Collector fill:#2e7d32,stroke:#1b5e20,color:#fff
+```
+
+| Aspect                         | Details                                                                                                         |
+| ------------------------------ | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| **What changes for operators** | Deploy OTel Collector + trace backend. Existing StatsD and log pipelines stay as-is.                            |
+| **Codebase impact**            | New `Telemetry` module (~1500 LOC). Beast Insight and Journal untouched.                                        |
+| **New capabilities**           | Cross-node trace correlation, span-based debugging, request lifecycle visibility.                               |
+| **What we still can't do**     | Correlate metrics with specific traces natively. StatsD metrics remain fire-and-forget with no trace exemplars. |
+| **Maintenance burden**         | Three separate observability systems to maintain (OTel + StatsD + Journal).                                     |
+| **Risk**                       | Lowest — additive change, no existing systems disturbed.                                                        |
+
+---
+
+## Slide 4: Future Adoption — Metrics & Logs via OTel
+
+### Scenario B: + OTel Metrics (Replace StatsD)
+
+> Migrate StatsD to OTel Metrics API, exposing Prometheus-compatible metrics. Remove Beast Insight.
+
+```mermaid
+flowchart LR
+    subgraph rippled["rippled Process"]
+        direction TB
+        OTel["OTel SDK<br/>(Traces + Metrics)"]
+        Journal["Journal + PerfLog<br/>(Logging)"]
+    end
+
+    OTel -->|"OTLP"| Collector["OTel Collector"]
+    Journal -->|"File I/O"| LogFile["perf.log / debug.log"]
+
+    Collector --> Tempo["Tempo<br/>(Traces)"]
+    Collector --> Prom["Prometheus<br/>(Metrics)"]
+    LogFile --> Loki["Loki (optional)"]
+
+    style rippled fill:#424242,stroke:#212121,color:#fff
+    style OTel fill:#2e7d32,stroke:#1b5e20,color:#fff
+    style Journal fill:#e65100,stroke:#bf360c,color:#fff
+    style Collector fill:#2e7d32,stroke:#1b5e20,color:#fff
+```
+
+- **Better metrics?** Yes — Prometheus gives native histograms (p50/p95/p99), multi-dimensional labels, and exemplars linking metric spikes to traces.
+- **Codebase**: Remove `Beast::Insight` + `StatsDCollector` (~2000 LOC). Single SDK for traces and metrics.
+- **Operator effort**: Rewrite dashboards from StatsD/Graphite queries to PromQL. Run both in parallel during transition.
+- **Risk**: Medium — operators must migrate monitoring infrastructure.
+
+### Scenario C: + OTel Logs (Full Stack)
+
+> Also replace Journal logging with OTel Logs API. Single SDK for everything.
+
+```mermaid
+flowchart LR
+    subgraph rippled["rippled Process"]
+        OTel["OTel SDK<br/>(Traces + Metrics + Logs)"]
+    end
+
+    OTel -->|"OTLP"| Collector["OTel Collector"]
+
+    Collector --> Tempo["Tempo<br/>(Traces)"]
+    Collector --> Prom["Prometheus<br/>(Metrics)"]
+    Collector --> Loki["Loki / Elastic<br/>(Logs)"]
+
+    style rippled fill:#424242,stroke:#212121,color:#fff
+    style OTel fill:#2e7d32,stroke:#1b5e20,color:#fff
+    style Collector fill:#2e7d32,stroke:#1b5e20,color:#fff
+```
+
+- **Structured logging**: OTel Logs API outputs structured records with `trace_id`, `span_id`, severity, and attributes by design.
+- **Full correlation**: Every log line carries `trace_id`. Click trace → see logs. Click metric spike → see trace → see logs.
+- **Codebase**: Remove Beast Insight (~2000 LOC) + simplify Journal/PerfLog (~3000 LOC). One dependency instead of three.
+- **Risk**: Highest — `beast::Journal` is deeply embedded in every component. Large refactor. OTel C++ Logs API is newer (stable since v1.11, less battle-tested).
+
+### Recommendation

+    A["Phase 1<br/><b>Traces Only</b><br/>(Current Plan)"] --> B["Phase 2<br/><b>+ Metrics</b><br/>(Replace StatsD)"] --> C["Phase 3<br/><b>+ Logs</b><br/>(Full OTel)"]

+```
+
+| Phase                | Signal    | Strategy                                                       | Risk   |
+| -------------------- | --------- | -------------------------------------------------------------- | ------ |
+| **Phase 1** (now)    | Traces    | Add OTel traces. Keep StatsD and Journal. Prove value.         | Low    |
+| **Phase 2** (future) | + Metrics | Migrate StatsD → Prometheus via OTel. Remove Beast Insight.    | Medium |
+| **Phase 3** (future) | + Logs    | Adopt OTel Logs API. Align with structured logging initiative. | High   |
+
+> **Key Takeaway**: Start with traces (unique value, lowest risk), then incrementally adopt metrics and logs as the OTel infrastructure proves itself.

+
+**Reading the diagram:**
+
+- **Core Services (blue, top)**: RPC Server, Overlay, and Consensus are the three primary components that generate trace data — they represent the entry points for client requests, peer messages, and consensus rounds respectively.
+- **Telemetry Module (green, middle)**: The OpenTelemetry SDK sits below the core services and receives span data from all three; it acts as a single collection point within the rippled process.
+- **OTel Collector (orange, center)**: An external process that receives spans over OTLP/gRPC from the Telemetry Module; it decouples rippled from backend choices and handles batching, sampling, and routing.
+- **Backends (bottom row)**: Tempo and Elastic APM are interchangeable — the Collector fans out to any combination, so operators can switch backends without modifying rippled code.
+- **Top-to-bottom flow**: Data flows from instrumented code down through the SDK, out over the network to the Collector, and finally into storage/visualization backends.

+
+#### How We Arrived at These Numbers
+

+| Consensus round frequency | ~1 round / 3-4 seconds | `ConsensusParms.h` (`ledgerMIN_CONSENSUS=1950ms`)                                                   |
+| Proposers per round       | ~20-35                 | Mainnet UNL size                                                                                    |
+| P2P message rate          | ~160 msgs/sec          | See message breakdown below                                                                         |

+| ------------- | ------------ | --------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| TMTransaction | ~100/sec     | ~25 TPS × ~4 relay hops per TX, deduplicated by HashRouter            |
+| TMValidation  | ~50/sec      | ~35 validators × ~1 validation/3s round ≈ ~12/sec, plus relay fan-out |
+| TMProposeSet  | ~10/sec      | ~35 proposers / 3s round ≈ ~12/round, clustered in establish phase    |
+| **Total**     | **~160/sec** | **Only traced message types counted**                                 |

+**CPU (1-3%) — Calculation**:

+Per-transaction tracing cost breakdown:
+

+| `tx.validate` span                              | ~1200 ns    | ~1000ns create + ~200ns for 2 attributes   |
+| `tx.relay` span                                 | ~1200 ns    | ~1000ns create + ~200ns for 2 attributes   |
+| Context injection into P2P message              | ~200 ns     | Serialize trace_id + span_id into protobuf |
+| **Total per TX**                                | **~4.0 μs** |                                            |
+
+> **CPU overhead**: 4.0 μs / 200 μs baseline = **~2.0% per transaction**. Under high load with consensus + RPC spans overlapping, reaches ~3%. Consensus itself adds only ~36 μs per 3-second round (~0.001%), so the TX path dominates. On production server hardware (3+ GHz Xeon), span creation drops to ~500-600 ns, bringing per-TX cost to ~2.6 μs (~1.3%). See [Section 3.5.4](./03-implementation-strategy.md#354-performance-data-sources) for benchmark sources.
+
+**Memory (~10 MB) — Calculation**:
+
+| Component                                     | Size               | Notes                                 |
+| --------------------------------------------- | ------------------ | ------------------------------------- |
+| TracerProvider + Exporter (gRPC channel init) | ~320 KB            | Allocated once at startup             |
+| BatchSpanProcessor (circular buffer)          | ~16 KB             | 2049 × 8-byte AtomicUniquePtr entries |
+| BatchSpanProcessor (worker thread stack)      | ~8 MB              | Default Linux thread stack size       |
+| Active spans (in-flight, max ~1000)           | ~500-800 KB        | ~500-800 bytes/span × 1000 concurrent |
+| Export queue (batch buffer, max 2048 spans)   | ~1 MB              | ~500 bytes/span × 2048 queue depth    |
+| Thread-local context storage (~100 threads)   | ~6.4 KB            | ~64 bytes/thread                      |
+| **Total**                                     | **~10 MB ceiling** |                                       |
+
+> Memory plateaus once the export queue fills — the `max_queue_size=2048` config bounds growth.
+> The worker thread stack (~8 MB) dominates the static footprint but is virtual memory; actual RSS
+> depends on stack usage (typically much less). Active spans are larger than originally estimated
+> (~500-800 bytes) because the OTel SDK `Span` object includes a mutex (~40 bytes), `SpanData`
+> recordable (~250 bytes base), and `std::map`-based attribute storage (~200-500 bytes for 3-5
+> string attributes). See [Section 3.5.4](./03-implementation-strategy.md#354-performance-data-sources) for source references.
+
+**Network (10-50 KB/s) — Calculation**:
+
+Two sources of network overhead:
+
+**(A) OTLP span export to Collector:**
+
+| Sampling Rate              | Effective Spans/sec | Avg Span Size (compressed) | Bandwidth    |
+| -------------------------- | ------------------- | -------------------------- | ------------ |
+| 100% (dev only)            | ~500                | ~500 bytes                 | ~250 KB/s    |
+| **10% (recommended prod)** | **~50**             | **~500 bytes**             | **~25 KB/s** |
+| 1% (minimal)               | ~5                  | ~500 bytes                 | ~2.5 KB/s    |
+
+> The ~500 spans/sec at 100% comes from: ~100 TX spans + ~160 P2P context spans + ~23 consensus spans/round + ~50 RPC spans = ~500/sec. OTLP protobuf with gzip compression yields ~500 bytes/span average.
+
+**(B) P2P trace context overhead** (added to existing messages, always-on regardless of sampling):
+
+| Message Type  | Rate     | Context Size | Bandwidth     |
+| ------------- | -------- | ------------ | ------------- |
+| TMTransaction | ~100/sec | 29 bytes     | ~2.9 KB/s     |
+| TMValidation  | ~50/sec  | 29 bytes     | ~1.5 KB/s     |
+| TMProposeSet  | ~10/sec  | 29 bytes     | ~0.3 KB/s     |
+| **Total P2P** |          |              | **~4.7 KB/s** |
+
+> **Combined**: 25 KB/s (OTLP export at 10%) + 5 KB/s (P2P context) ≈ **~30 KB/s typical**. The 10-50 KB/s range covers 10-20% sampling under normal to peak mainnet load.
+
+**Latency (<2%) — Calculation**:
+
+| Path                           | Tracing Cost | Baseline | Overhead |
+| ------------------------------ | ------------ | -------- | -------- |
+| Fast RPC (e.g., `server_info`) | 2.75 μs      | ~1 ms    | 0.275%   |
+| Slow RPC (e.g., `path_find`)   | 2.75 μs      | ~100 ms  | 0.003%   |
+| Transaction processing         | 4.0 μs       | ~200 μs  | 2.0%     |
+| Consensus round                | 36 μs        | ~3 sec   | 0.001%   |
+
+> At p99, even the worst case (TX processing at 2.0%) is within the 1-3% range. RPC and consensus overhead are negligible. On production hardware, TX overhead drops to ~1.3%.
+
+### Per-Message Overhead (Context Propagation)
+
+Each P2P message carries trace context with the following overhead:
+
+| Field         | Size          | Description                               |
+| ------------- | ------------- | ----------------------------------------- |
+| `trace_id`    | 16 bytes      | Unique identifier for the entire trace    |
+| `span_id`     | 8 bytes       | Current span (becomes parent on receiver) |
+| `trace_flags` | 1 byte        | Sampling decision flags                   |
+| `trace_state` | 0-4 bytes     | Optional vendor-specific data             |
+| **Total**     | **~29 bytes** | **Added per traced P2P message**          |

+
+**Reading the diagram:**
+
+- **Original Message (gray, left)**: The existing P2P message payload of variable size — this is unchanged; trace context is appended, never modifying the original data.
+- **+ TraceContext (green, right of message)**: The additional 29-byte context block attached to each traced message; the arrow from the original message shows it is a pure addition.
+- **Context Breakdown (right subgraph)**: The four fields — `trace_id` (16 bytes), `span_id` (8 bytes), `flags` (1 byte), and `state` (0-4 bytes) — show exactly what is added and their individual sizes.
+- **Color coding**: Blue fields (`trace_id`, `span_id`) are the core identifiers required for trace correlation; orange (`flags`) controls sampling decisions; purple (`state`) is optional vendor data typically omitted.
+
+> **Note**: 29 bytes represents ~1-6% overhead depending on message size (500B simple TX to 5KB proposal), which is acceptable for the observability benefits provided.

+
+> For a detailed explanation of head vs. tail sampling, see Slide 9.
+
+### Kill Switches (Rollback Options)
+
+1. **Config Disable**: Set `enabled=0` in config → instant disable, no restart needed for sampling
+2. **Rebuild**: Compile with `XRPL_ENABLE_TELEMETRY=OFF` → zero overhead (no-op)
+3. **Full Revert**: Clean separation allows easy commit reversion
+
+---
+
+## Slide 9: Sampling Strategies — Head vs. Tail
+
+> Sampling controls **which traces are recorded and exported**. Without sampling, every operation generates a trace — at 500+ spans/sec, this overwhelms storage and network. Sampling lets you keep the signal, discard the noise.
+
+### Head Sampling (Decision at Start)
+
+The sampling decision is made **when a trace begins**, before any work is done. A random number is generated; if it falls within the configured ratio, the entire trace is recorded. Otherwise, the trace is silently dropped.
+

+| **Where it runs**             | Inside rippled (SDK-level). Configured via `sampling_ratio` in `rippled.cfg`.                                                                                                                            |
+| **When the decision happens** | At trace creation time — before the first span is even populated.                                                                                                                                        |
+| **How it works**              | `sampling_ratio=0.1` means each trace has a 10% probability of being recorded. Dropped traces incur near-zero overhead (no spans created, no attributes set, no export).                                 |
+| **Propagation**               | Once a trace is sampled, the `trace_flags` field (1 byte in the context header) tells downstream nodes to also sample it. Unsampled traces propagate `trace_flags=0`, so downstream nodes skip them too. |
+| **Pros**                      | Lowest overhead. Simple to configure. Predictable resource usage.                                                                                                                                        |
+| **Cons**                      | **Blind** — it doesn't know if the trace will be interesting. A rare error or slow consensus round has only a 10% chance of being captured.                                                              |
+| **Best for**                  | High-volume, steady-state traffic where most traces look similar (e.g., routine RPC requests).                                                                                                           |

+
+### Tail Sampling (Decision at End)
+
+The sampling decision is made **after the trace completes**, based on its actual content — was it slow? Did it error? Was it a consensus round? This requires buffering complete traces before deciding.

+| **Where it runs**             | In the **OTel Collector** (external process), not inside rippled. rippled exports 100% of traces; the Collector decides what to keep.                                                                     |
+| **When the decision happens** | After the Collector has received all spans for a trace (waits `decision_wait=10s` for stragglers).                                                                                                        |
+| **How it works**              | Policy rules evaluate the completed trace: keep all errors, keep slow operations above a threshold, keep all consensus rounds, then probabilistically sample the rest at 10%.                             |
+| **Pros**                      | **Never misses important traces**. Errors, slow requests, and consensus anomalies are always captured regardless of probability.                                                                          |
+| **Cons**                      | Higher resource usage — rippled must export 100% of spans to the Collector, which buffers them in memory before deciding. The Collector needs more RAM (configured via `num_traces` and `decision_wait`). |
+| **Best for**                  | Production troubleshooting where you can't afford to miss errors or anomalies.                                                                                                                            |
+
+**Collector configuration** (tail sampling rules for rippled):

+| **Overhead on rippled**       | Lowest (dropped traces = no-op)          | Higher (must export 100% to Collector)           |
+| **Collector resource usage**  | Low (receives only sampled traces)       | Higher (buffers all traces before deciding)      |
+| **Captures all errors?**      | No (only if trace was randomly selected) | **Yes** (error policy catches them)              |
+| **Captures slow operations?** | No (random)                              | **Yes** (latency policy catches them)            |
+| **Configuration**             | `rippled.cfg`: `sampling_ratio=0.1`      | `otel-collector.yaml`: `tail_sampling` processor |

+
+### Recommended Strategy for rippled
+
+Use **both** in a layered approach:
+
+```mermaid
+flowchart LR
+    subgraph rippled["rippled (Head Sampling)"]
+        HS["sampling_ratio=1.0<br/>(export everything)"]
+    end
+
+    subgraph collector["OTel Collector (Tail Sampling)"]
+        TS["Keep: errors + slow + 10% random<br/>Drop: routine traces"]
+    end
+
+    subgraph storage["Backend Storage"]
+        ST["Only interesting traces<br/>stored long-term"]
+    end
+
+    rippled -->|"100% of spans"| collector -->|"~15-20% kept"| storage
+
+    style rippled fill:#424242,stroke:#212121,color:#fff
+    style collector fill:#1565c0,stroke:#0d47a1,color:#fff
+    style storage fill:#2e7d32,stroke:#1b5e20,color:#fff
+```
+
+> **Why this works**: rippled exports everything (no blind drops), the Collector applies intelligent filtering (keep errors/slow/anomalies, sample the rest), and only ~15-20% of traces reach storage. If Collector resource usage becomes a concern, add head sampling at `sampling_ratio=0.5` to halve the export volume while still giving the Collector enough data for good tail-sampling decisions.

+
+### What Data is Collected
+

+
+### What is NOT Collected (Privacy Guarantees)
+
+```mermaid
+flowchart LR
+    subgraph notCollected["❌ NOT Collected"]
+        direction LR
+        A["Private Keys"] ~~~ B["Account Balances"] ~~~ C["Transaction Amounts"]
+    end
+
+    subgraph alsoNot["❌ Also Excluded"]

+    style F fill:#c62828,stroke:#8c2809,color:#fff
+```
+
+**Reading the diagram:**
+
+- **NOT Collected (top row, red)**: Private Keys, Account Balances, and Transaction Amounts are explicitly excluded — these are financial/security-sensitive fields that telemetry never touches.
+- **Also Excluded (bottom row, red)**: IP Addresses (configurable per deployment), Personal Data, and Raw TX Payloads are also excluded — these protect operator and user privacy.
+- **All-red styling**: Every box is styled in red to visually reinforce that these are hard exclusions, not optional — the telemetry system has no code path to collect any of these fields.
+- **Two-row layout**: The split between "NOT Collected" and "Also Excluded" distinguishes between financial data (top) and operational/personal data (bottom), making the privacy boundaries clear to auditors.
+
+### Privacy Protection Mechanisms
+
+| Mechanism                  | Description                                                   |
+| -------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| **Account Hashing**        | `xrpl.tx.account` is hashed at collector level before storage |
+| **Configurable Redaction** | Sensitive fields can be excluded via config                   |
+| **Sampling**               | Only 10% of traces recorded by default (reduces exposure)     |
+| **Local Control**          | Node operators control what gets exported                     |
+| **No Raw Payloads**        | Transaction content is never recorded, only metadata          |
+
+> **Key Principle**: Telemetry collects **operational metadata** (timing, counts, hashes) — never **sensitive content** (keys, balances, amounts).

 # The XRP Ledger
 
 The [XRP Ledger](https://xrpl.org/) is a decentralized cryptographic ledger powered by a network of peer-to-peer nodes. The XRP Ledger uses a novel Byzantine Fault Tolerant consensus algorithm to settle and record transactions in a secure distributed database without a central operator.
 
 ## XRP
-[XRP](https://xrpl.org/xrp.html) is a public, counterparty-free asset native to the XRP Ledger, and is designed to bridge the many different currencies in use worldwide. XRP is traded on the open-market and is available for anyone to access. The XRP Ledger was created in 2012 with a finite supply of 100 billion units of XRP.

XRP is traded on the open-market and is available for anyone to access. The XRP Ledger was created in 2012 with a finite supply of 100 billion units of XRP.
 
 ## rippled
+
 The server software that powers the XRP Ledger is called `rippled` and is available in this repository under the permissive [ISC open-source license](LICENSE.md). The `rippled` server software is written primarily in C++ and runs on a variety of platforms. The `rippled` server software can run in several modes depending on its [configuration](https://xrpl.org/rippled-server-modes.html).
 
 If you are interested in running an **API Server** (including a **Full History Server**), take a look at [Clio](https://github.com/XRPLF/clio). (rippled Reporting Mode has been replaced by Clio.)

 ## Key Features of the XRP Ledger
 
 - **[Censorship-Resistant Transaction Processing][]:** No single party decides which transactions succeed or fail, and no one can "roll back" a transaction after it completes. As long as those who choose to participate in the network keep it healthy, they can settle transactions in seconds.
 - **[Fast, Efficient Consensus Algorithm][]:** The XRP Ledger's consensus algorithm settles transactions in 4 to 5 seconds, processing at a throughput of up to 1500 transactions per second. These properties put XRP at least an order of magnitude ahead of other top digital assets.
-- **[Finite XRP Supply][]:** When the XRP Ledger began, 100 billion XRP were created, and no more XRP will ever be created. The available supply of XRP decreases slowly over time as small amounts are destroyed to pay transaction costs.
-- **[Responsible Software Governance][]:** A team of full-time, world-class developers at Ripple maintain and continually improve the XRP Ledger's underlying software with contributions from the open-source community. Ripple acts as a steward for the technology and an advocate for its interests, and builds constructive relationships with governments and financial institutions worldwide.

Ripple acts as a steward for the technology and an advocate for its interests.
 - **[Secure, Adaptable Cryptography][]:** The XRP Ledger relies on industry standard digital signature systems like ECDSA (the same scheme used by Bitcoin) but also supports modern, efficient algorithms like Ed25519. The extensible nature of the XRP Ledger's software makes it possible to add and disable algorithms as the state of the art in cryptography advances.
-- **[Modern Features for Smart Contracts][]:** Features like Escrow, Checks, and Payment Channels support cutting-edge financial applications including the [Interledger Protocol](https://interledger.org/). This toolbox of advanced features comes with safety features like a process for amending the network and separate checks against invariant constraints.
+- **[Modern Features][]:** Features like Escrow, Checks, and Payment Channels support financial applications atop of the XRP Ledger. This toolbox of advanced features comes with safety features like a process for amending the network and separate checks against invariant constraints.
 - **[On-Ledger Decentralized Exchange][]:** In addition to all the features that make XRP useful on its own, the XRP Ledger also has a fully-functional accounting system for tracking and trading obligations denominated in any way users want, and an exchange built into the protocol. The XRP Ledger can settle long, cross-currency payment paths and exchanges of multiple currencies in atomic transactions, bridging gaps of trust with XRP.

+- Read [the levelization document](.github/scripts/levelization) to get an idea of the internal dependency graph.
 - In the big picture, the `main` function constructs an `ApplicationImp` object, which implements the `Application` virtual interface. Almost every component in the application takes an `Application&` parameter in its constructor, typically named `app` and stored as a member variable `app_`. This allows most components to depend on any other component.
