Pratik Mankawde 2097293e8f fix(telemetry): run the workload at info so log-trace correlation is testable
The two log.trace_id_* checks have failed on every run -- they were the only
failures in the 2026-08-20 run (158/160). The workload never satisfied their
precondition, because warning suppressed the one line that is correlated by
construction.

trace_id is injected in Log.cpp from RuntimeContext::GetCurrent(). Severity
does not affect injection, but JLOG filters on severity before format() runs,
so what matters is which severity emits a line while a span is current.

A span becomes current in either of two ways: as a ScopedSpanGuard, or by
activating a plain SpanGuard via activate() / activateIfLive(). activate()
returns a ScopedActivation holding an otel_trace::Scope built from the span,
which pushes onto the same RuntimeContext store Log.cpp reads. A plain
SpanGuard that is never activated makes no span current.

The guaranteed correlated line at info is the consensus accept pair at
RCLConsensus.cpp:736/740 -- an if/else, so exactly one fires on every accepted
round. doAccept activates the accept span as ambient over its whole body at
:565 via activateIfLive(acceptSpan), and that activation lives to the end of
the function, so both branches are inside it. At roughly one round every 4 s
this gives dozens of correlated lines per run, well inside the validator's 4 h
window. LOG_QUERY_WINDOW_SECONDS stays at 4 h deliberately -- a wider window
would let the check pass on logs from a previous run.

info is the minimum that works, which is what the task asked for. debug would
correlate strictly more, additionally covering BuildLedger.cpp:81 and
RPCHandler.cpp:188, but it is the wrong default: it puts synchronous log I/O
inside ledger.build, consensus.accept (RCLConsensus.cpp:663 logs per
transaction) and tx.apply, which are exactly the spans whose latency
regression-metrics.json gates. The next run reprints the voided baseline, so
capturing at debug would bake log I/O into the latency numbers permanently --
the same class of defect this plan exists to remove. The runbook records how to
get the broader coverage per partition, after a baseline exists.
