Hand agn the trace, in the spelling it reads - #196
Merged
Conversation
A workload is one wake cycle and one trace, derived from WORKLOAD_ID so a restart reopens rather than splits it. The trace hook is told which trace to write into; agn was not, because agn reports its own turns rather than having a transcript read back -- so it rooted its spans itself, and the message and the model call it caused landed in separate traces. It reads a parent the way any OTel process does, so it is handed TRACEPARENT. The span id is the trace's first eight bytes rather than one drawn per start: nothing here opens a span for agn to hang off, and a parent that changed between two starts of the same workload would leave the second cycle's turns pointing at something that never existed.

Needs agynio/agn-cli#69, which reads it. Completes agynio/agents-orchestrator#277 (the endpoint had been naming a collector sidecar that no longer runs) and agynio/architecture#188, which describes the two span paths.
