Well-structured addition with thorough test coverage and excellent inline documentation of the two-span model and stamp contract. Two findings worth addressing before merge.
Findings:
-
gRPC connection leak on exporter failure (): When
otlptracegrpc.Newreturns an error, theconncreated on line 158 is never closed. This leaks a gRPC connection on any Init error path after the dial succeeds. Addconn.Close()(ordefer conn.Close()guarded by a success flag) before returning. -
Overly broad substring matching in
isA2AProtocolEvent(plugin.go:680):strings.Contains(kind, "status")could silently suppress output for a legitimate agent-defined artifact whose kind contains the word status (e.g.,"final-status-report"or"task-status-result"). Since the A2A protocol event kinds are enumerated and stable, prefer exhaustive exact==comparisons (kind == "status-update" || kind == "task-status-update" || kind == "artifact-update" || kind == "working" || kind == "canceled") rather than substring matches. The mixed-casestrings.Contains(kind, "Status")is also redundant after the lowercase check, suggesting the list may have grown ad hoc.

conn is created on line 158 but never closed when otlptracegrpc.New returns an error here. Suggest adding _ = conn.Close() (or tracking with a cleanup flag) before the early return to avoid leaking the gRPC connection on any Init failure path after the dial succeeds.

Fixed in 4f4e31c6. The otlptracegrpc.New error path now closes the dialed conn before returning (plugin.go:225, _ = conn.Close()), and p.conn is only stored past that error path, so a failure there no longer leaks the gRPC client. Shutdown closes it on the success path. Thanks.

strings.Contains(kind, "status") is broader than needed and could suppress output for a user-defined artifact kind that incidentally contains the word status (e.g. "final-status-report"). The A2A protocol event kinds are enumerated; prefer exact equality checks: kind == "status-update" || kind == "task-status-update" || kind == "artifact-update" || kind == "working" || kind == "canceled". The redundant strings.Contains(kind, "Status") (capital-S) also suggests this predicate grew ad hoc.
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Fixed in 00713329. isA2AProtocolEvent now matches the enumerated kinds exactly via a switch/case (status-update, task-status-update, artifact-update, working, canceled) instead of strings.Contains, and the redundant capital-Status check is gone — so a user artifact whose kind merely contains the word (your final-status-report example) is no longer suppressed. The comment there now cites that exact case. Thanks for the catch.

Reviewed all eight files in full (first-time contributor, external fork — highest-scrutiny pass). Deliberately not casting a verdict here: finding 1 below is blocking in substance, but it is a sequencing/declaration issue rather than a code defect, and I would rather leave the merge decision to a maintainer with the roadmap context. Treating it as informational.
What I verified clean
Worth stating explicitly, because a new plugin that adds network egress and dependency changes across three modules is exactly the shape that warrants suspicion, and it holds up:
| Check | Result |
|---|---|
.claude / .vscode supply-chain gate |
no matches |
| New dependencies | all official OpenTelemetry (otel/exporters/otlp/..., proto/otlp) plus standard exporter transitives (cenkalti/backoff, grpc-ecosystem/grpc-gateway, genproto/googleapis/api). otel, otel/sdk, otel/trace were already in-tree as indirect and are merely promoted to direct — no unfamiliar packages |
| Credential capture | none. No read of Authorization, bearer tokens, cookies, secrets, or arbitrary headers anywhere in the plugin |
capture_io |
off by default, PII caveat documented in the field comment, exactly two gate sites (input.value / output.value) |
| Config hygiene | DisallowUnknownFields() makes a typo'd knob a boot error rather than a silent default — good posture |
| Registration | //go:build !exclude_plugin_lineage, and inert unless listed in the pipeline YAML |
| Tests | 29 functions, zero t.Skip / testing.Short |
| CI | all checks pass |
The two-span model, the maxUnwrapDepth-style reasoning in the package doc, and the removal of the trace-keyed "last inbound seen" map (with its rationale recorded — "a visibly missing edge is recoverable; a silently wrong one is not") all read as careful work.
Three findings inline, one of which I would treat as blocking.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
must-fix (blocking in substance) — this line is a silent no-op on main today, and the failure is indistinguishable from healthy operation.
pctx.Headers.Set("tracestate", ...) only reaches the wire on listeners that propagate the full header set. On current main:
| Listener | Propagates plugin header writes? |
|---|---|
reverseproxy |
yes — syncs the whole set (server.go:365-385) |
extproc |
no — compares only Authorization before/after the pipeline (server.go:171, :199, :498) |
forwardproxy |
no — same Authorization-only pattern |
This PR's history is two commits and contains none of #760's, so merged on its own the outbound peer stamping never leaves the sidecar — and that is the mechanism the entire two-span pairing model rests on.
What makes it worth blocking on rather than noting: the degradation is invisible. selectParent falls back to the wire parent and records lineage.parent.source=wire, which the package doc describes as a legitimate state ("Un-stamped traffic falls to the wire parent... the interaction still derives in full, but as a trace entry rather than a child"). So a deployment would look healthy while producing a systematically flattened graph, with nothing in the logs to say why.
No code change needed — declare the dependency and sequence #760 before #761. Worth stating in the PR body too, since #760's own description frames the header fix as "a correctness fix to your own plugins, independent of anything we run", which is true on its own terms but reads as though nothing downstream depends on it.
There was a problem hiding this comment.
This is resolved on the branch as it stands — the sequencing dependency you identified no longer exists, because #760 is already merged in here (merge 2349bfeb, plus 4440ef96 "Propagate every plugin header mutation in extproc and forwardproxy"). Your table was accurate against the main of the time, but this branch now carries the full-header-set propagation on all three listeners:
reverseproxy— full-set sync (was already correct).extproc— now diffspctx.Headersagainst a clone and emits aSetHeadersfor every mutation, not justAuthorization.forwardproxy— same full-set propagation.
Guard tests were added with #760 and live in the branch: authbridge/authlib/listener/extproc/server_headerdiff_test.go and .../forwardproxy/server_headerdiff_test.go (the extproc one asserts a dg-parent=… tracestate write survives to the wire). So the outbound peer stamp does leave the sidecar, and there's no silent-flattening risk or #760-lands-first ordering to state in the PR body. Thanks for catching it while it was real.

suggestion — the export is unconditionally plaintext, and config.go strips the scheme that would ask for otherwise.
There is no TLS path here at all: insecure.NewCredentials() is the only transport credential. Meanwhile decodeConfig strips both prefixes (config.go:76-77):
cfg.OTelEndpoint = strings.TrimPrefix(cfg.OTelEndpoint, "https://")
cfg.OTelEndpoint = strings.TrimPrefix(cfg.OTelEndpoint, "http://")So otel_endpoint: https://collector.example.com:4317 is accepted, silently reduced to host:port, and exported in cleartext to a remote host. Stripping http:// is reasonable; stripping https:// without honouring it converts an explicit request for encryption into its opposite.
The default localhost:4317 is why I am not calling this blocking. But the exposure is not limited to capture_io: lineage.principal.sub and lineage.principal.client are emitted on every inbound request span whenever a JWT validated (lines 538-543) and are not gated by capture_io. So user subject identifiers cross the network unencrypted the moment a remote endpoint is configured — with capture_io on, so do user messages, tool arguments, and LLM completions.
That also undercuts the mitigation the config field itself offers — "enable only if traces do not contain PII or the OTel backend enforces appropriate access controls" — since backend access controls are no help against a cleartext transport.
Two clean options: reject a https:// endpoint at Configure time (fail closed, consistent with the DisallowUnknownFields choice already made in this package), or honour it with real TLS credentials.
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Addressed in 4f4e31c6. The export is no longer unconditionally plaintext: Config now carries an otel_tls knob, config.go parses the endpoint with url.Parse instead of stripping prefixes, and an https:// scheme auto-enables TLS (dialing with system root CAs) rather than being silently reduced to host:port. The two failure modes you called out are now closed:
https://+otel_tls: falseis a rejected contradiction atConfiguretime (fails closed, matching theDisallowUnknownFieldsposture you noted).- Any non-
http(s)scheme (ftp://,ftps://, …) is rejected at decode rather than stripped and dialed insecure.
So a https:// endpoint now gets real encryption, and the principal.sub / principal.client facts (which, as you noted, aren't gated by capture_io) no longer cross the network in cleartext when a remote endpoint is configured. Default stays localhost:4317 plaintext for the in-pod loopback case. Covered by TestConfig_TLSFromScheme in plugin_test.go.

suggestion — the normative spec for this plugin's output is not reviewable from this repository.
The doc comment describes docs/sidecar-wire-contract.md in the lab-data-governance repo as "the law this file implements", and tracestateStampKey = "dg-parent" (line 84) names that consuming system — renamed from kglin on 2026-08-04. So the span vocabulary, the attribute set, and the parent-precedence rules are all specified somewhere a cortex reviewer cannot read, and can change without any signal here.
That matters more than usual for two reasons. First, this plugin does not merely observe: line 361 writes a vendor-specific member into the tracestate of requests forwarded to peers, so a contract change alters traffic leaving the sidecar. Second, cortex auto-syncs into productization, so "experimental plugin for one consumer" and "shipped surface" are not cleanly separable here.
Not a code problem, and the plugin is honestly scoped (facts-only, no vocabulary, build-tag excludable, inert unless configured). But it seems better as an explicit maintainer decision than an implicit one — either vendoring the relevant contract section into authbridge/docs/, or pinning the cited version somewhere that breaks loudly when the consumer moves.
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Good point, and rather than just pinning the version I'd like to fix the part that actually bothers you here: the tracestate key naming a specific external consumer.
The key's function is narrow and self-contained: it's the single tracestate member the sidecar chain uses to carry its own parent link from one lineage element to the next — inbound stamps the request it forwards to its app; the app's propagate-only shim couriers the member along the request's causal chain; the peer's outbound re-stamps it so the next sidecar's inbound reads it as its parent. It carries one value (the upstream request span's id), never lands in stored data, and is independent of any particular consumer — the current name (dg-parent, formerly kglin) is just historical baggage from where the first consumer lived.
So I think it should be a neutral, producer-owned name rather than one that names data-governance — which I believe answers your concern directly (the owner on the wire becomes this plugin / authbridge, not an external system). Since it's a cross-repo wire contract, I don't want to rename it unilaterally: what would you name it? Given its function above — a producer-owned sidecar-parent-chain member — something like parent or chain-parent is where my head is, but I'd rather take your suggestion. Once we agree a name, I'll change it here and on the receiver side in the same coordinated release so the parent-join never sees a mismatch.
Resolve the authlib go.mod merge conflict (keep both the OTel exporter deps and x/net/x/sync; take the higher x/net v0.58.0) and apply the straightforward review fixes on PR rossoctl#761: - Init: resolve self identity before allocating the gRPC client, OTLP exporter, and TracerProvider, so a refused identity leaks no exporter or batch-processor goroutine (CodeRabbit). - Init: close the gRPC conn when otlptracegrpc.New fails after the dial succeeded, instead of leaking it on that error path (clawgenti). - isA2AProtocolEvent: match the enumerated A2A protocol event kinds exactly rather than by substring, so an agent-defined artifact kind that merely contains "status" (e.g. "final-status-report") is no longer suppressed; drops the redundant mixed-case check (clawgenti). - config: parse a URL-form otel_endpoint with net/url and use its host, so a path (http://collector:4317/v1/traces) no longer produces an invalid gRPC dial target; dedupe the localhost:4317 literal into a defaultOTelEndpoint const (CodeRabbit). - test: replace deprecated attribute.Value.Emit() with Value.String() (SA1019), and reduce headersEqual to maps.EqualFunc + slices.Equal. go mod tidy on the two cmd modules was required, not cosmetic: a readonly build (as CI runs it, GOWORK=off) failed against the updated authlib with "updates to go.mod needed" until the transitive graph and go.sum were refreshed. Not addressed here (left for a maintainer decision): the rossoctl#760 tracestate propagation dependency, the plaintext-OTLP/TLS exposure, the captured- payload size bound, and the external-contract-doc concern.

suggestion: insecure.NewCredentials() is hardcoded — there's no way to enable TLS even for a production otel_endpoint pointing outside the pod. Consider adding a otel_insecure: true/false (default true for the loopback default) config key, or at minimum document that TLS is currently unsupported. For in-cluster loopback-only deployments this is fine; for any cross-node or external collector endpoint it silently sends traces over plaintext.

Fixed in 4f4e31c6. There's now a real TLS path: an otel_tls config knob, and config.go parses the endpoint with url.Parse instead of stripping prefixes. An https:// endpoint auto-enables TLS (system root CAs); an explicit otel_tls: false alongside https:// is rejected at Configure time (fail-closed, matching the DisallowUnknownFields posture); any non-http(s) scheme is rejected rather than dialed insecure. Default stays localhost:4317 plaintext for the in-pod loopback case. Covered by TestConfig_TLSFromScheme.

nit: "http.method" is the deprecated OTel semconv attribute (stable since v1.21 as http.request.method). Since the plugin intentionally uses its own vocabulary as a contract (lineage.*), this is fine if intentional — but if interop with standard OTel tooling is a goal, the stable key is http.request.method. Similarly "http.status_code" (line 424) vs stable http.response.status_code. Worth a comment clarifying intent.

Intentional, and now documented inline. This producer's contract vocabulary is lineage.* plus these two well-known HTTP keys, pinned to the wire contract rather than the stable OTel names — interop with generic OTel tooling is a stated non-goal here. Added comments at plugin.go:559-561 (http.method) and 465-471 (http.status_code) clarifying the intent, per your suggestion.

suggestion: The PR body explicitly calls this out ("No producer-side payload size cap"), but there's no runtime safeguard: with capture_io: true, a large LLM completion or A2A message goes into an OTel span attribute whole. OTel SDK will silently drop attributes that exceed the exporter's max attribute size (OTLP default 4096 bytes). A truncation to e.g. 4KB with a …[truncated] suffix would make the behavior explicit and predictable rather than silently lossy at the exporter layer.

Fixed in 4f4e31c6. There's now a runtime truncate() on both input.value and output.value, bounded by a MaxPayloadBytes config key, appending a …[truncated] suffix — so oversized payloads are explicitly and predictably cut here rather than silently dropped at the exporter's attribute-size limit.

nit: The >>> OPTION-4 DELETION POINT <<< comment is helpful context for a fork/variant, but it's somewhat confusing as production inline documentation since the variant doesn't exist yet. Consider moving it to the package doc or a HACKING.md note rather than decorating live code paths with placeholder surgery instructions.

Fixed in 4f4e31c6. The placeholder-surgery marker is out of the live code path; the read-only "Option 4" variant is now described in the package doc (plugin.go:30-34) with a one-line back-reference at the relevant call site (:324) rather than an inline deletion instruction. Thanks.

Well-structured addition of a facts-only OTel telemetry plugin with thorough test coverage (1031 lines) and clear contract documentation. The tracestate stamp mechanism, TLS config guard, and identity-refusal-at-boot are all solid.
Finding: One correctness edge case in truncate (see inline).

suggestion: The budget <= 0 fallback does a raw byte slice (s[:max]) that can split a multi-byte UTF-8 rune when max is smaller than len(truncatedSuffix) (14 bytes). The comment says the returned string "never exceeds max bytes" but says nothing about rune-safety on this path. Consider using utf8.RuneError-safe trimming here too, or at minimum document that this edge case produces potentially invalid UTF-8 (realistically only hit with absurdly small max_payload_bytes, but the TestTruncate multi-byte case doesn't exercise budget <= 0).

Fixed in 87fdac55. The budget <= 0 fallback path now walks back to a rune boundary with utf8.RuneStart before slicing (plugin.go:622-627), the same rune-safe trim used on the normal path, so it can no longer return invalid UTF-8 even at an absurdly small max_payload_bytes.

New lineage-telemetry plugin adding two facts-only OTel spans per exchange. The design is sound — tracestate stamp parenting, bypass lists, TLS config validation, and truncation logic are all well-reasoned and test-covered (858 lines of tests). Author is JoshSag (CONTRIBUTOR — returning external); elevated scrutiny applied; no supply-chain or security issues found.
Findings:
- nit (
plugin.go:268):Shutdown()doesn't callp.ready.Store(false). Harmless — the OTel SDK degrades to no-ops aftertp.Shutdown()— but leavingReady()returningtruepost-shutdown could mislead pipeline orchestrators that poll it before routing traffic. Consider addingp.ready.Store(false)as the first line ofShutdown(). - nit (PR body): Convention expects a
## Summarysection; the body uses## What it does. Not enforced but worth aligning for consistency.
All DCO sign-offs present (6/6). CI passing. No hardcoded secrets, no .claude/.vscode changes, no GitHub Actions changes. Dependencies are promotions of existing indirect OTel modules plus three new permissive-licensed indirects.

nit: Shutdown() doesn't reset p.ready to false. After tp.Shutdown() the OTel SDK returns no-op spans, so this won't crash, but Ready() will keep returning true post-shutdown — potentially misleading to a pipeline orchestrator checking readiness before routing traffic. Consider p.ready.Store(false) as the first line of Shutdown() to make the lifecycle observable.

Fixed in db68cfbc. p.ready.Store(false) is now the first line of Shutdown (plugin.go:265), so Ready() returns false after shutdown and the lifecycle transition is observable to a pipeline orchestrator. Thanks.

Resolve the authlib go.mod merge conflict (keep both the OTel exporter deps and x/net/x/sync; take the higher x/net v0.58.0) and apply the straightforward review fixes on PR rossoctl#761: - Init: resolve self identity before allocating the gRPC client, OTLP exporter, and TracerProvider, so a refused identity leaks no exporter or batch-processor goroutine (CodeRabbit). - Init: close the gRPC conn when otlptracegrpc.New fails after the dial succeeded, instead of leaking it on that error path (clawgenti). - isA2AProtocolEvent: match the enumerated A2A protocol event kinds exactly rather than by substring, so an agent-defined artifact kind that merely contains "status" (e.g. "final-status-report") is no longer suppressed; drops the redundant mixed-case check (clawgenti). - config: parse a URL-form otel_endpoint with net/url and use its host, so a path (http://collector:4317/v1/traces) no longer produces an invalid gRPC dial target; dedupe the localhost:4317 literal into a defaultOTelEndpoint const (CodeRabbit). - test: replace deprecated attribute.Value.Emit() with Value.String() (SA1019), and reduce headersEqual to maps.EqualFunc + slices.Equal. go mod tidy on the two cmd modules was required, not cosmetic: a readonly build (as CI runs it, GOWORK=off) failed against the updated authlib with "updates to go.mod needed" until the transitive graph and go.sum were refreshed. Not addressed here (left for a maintainer decision): the rossoctl#760 tracestate propagation dependency, the plaintext-OTLP/TLS exposure, the captured- payload size bound, and the external-contract-doc concern.

Two preflight findings on the mint change, resolved by conforming to W3C rather than documenting a divergence, plus one note. mintTraceparent gated on the header's presence (Get != ""), which had two problems: an empty header was minted over while a malformed one was left alone, and the malformed case was inconsistent with selectParent, which already records parent.source=none for it. Gate on the propagator's validity verdict instead — the same IsValid() the parent choice uses, no parsing of our own. Absent, empty and malformed traceparents are now all restarted: a new traceparent naming this request span, and the caller's tracestate dropped because the minted context carries an empty TraceState. That is W3C Trace Context's processing model for an unparseable traceparent. A valid traceparent is never modified (TestStamp_InboundHeadersUntouchedExceptStamp). TestMint_RestartsInvalidTraceparent covers malformed, empty and version-ff values with a foreign tracestate riding along, and asserts the restarted header, the stamp alone, the root, and parent.source=none. The outbound-minted → peer-inbound chain was implied by the shared code path but not proven; TestMint_OutboundChainsIntoPeerInbound drives it across two plugin instances with the forwarded headers, the twin of TestMint_ChainsThroughEntry. Init: a comment at the TracerProvider names the sampler the minted traceparent's flag comes from (SDK default ParentBased(AlwaysSample), OTEL_TRACES_SAMPLER-overridable) and why a ratio sampler would un-sample whole chains rather than one pod's spans.

serviceLabel reduces a self_id containing "/" to its last non-empty segment before it is emitted, so a SPIFFE ID emits its final element and two identities that differ only above it emit the same lineage.self.id.

otel_tls verified the collector against the system roots only, and because the exporter is built on a caller-supplied gRPC conn the OTel SDK's OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_CERTIFICATE is never consulted — so the documented recommendation (otel_tls for any collector off-pod) could not export to an in-cluster collector whose certificate cert-manager issued. otel_ca_file names a PEM bundle; Init reads it into an x509.CertPool and dials with NewClientTLSFromCert against that pool. Setting it implies otel_tls, as an https:// endpoint already does. Contradictions are refused at decode rather than resolved silently: otel_ca_file with an explicit otel_tls:false, and an http:// endpoint with otel_tls:true or otel_ca_file (the mirror image of the existing https:// + otel_tls:false refusal). Init keys on the file alone, not on otel_tls, so a Config built without the decoder still cannot dial cleartext with a CA configured; an unreadable file, or one with no certificate in it, refuses to start rather than falling back to the system roots. Tests: the implication and the three contradictions at the decode boundary; Init against a self-signed CA generated in the test (starts, ready), a missing file and a certificate-less file (refuse, not ready). Contract §6 and the catalog carry the key. Assisted-By: Claude (Anthropic AI) <noreply@anthropic.com> Signed-off-by: YehoshuaSagron <ysagron@gmail.com>
…d does not claim grpc.NewClient dials lazily and the batch processor exports on its own goroutine, so nothing in Init can prove the collector is reachable or that its TLS chain verifies, and a failed export surfaced only through the OTel SDK's default error handler on stderr. The exporter is now wrapped: a refused or undeliverable batch increments a counter and logs a plugin-namespaced WARN carrying the batch size, the running total and the error, throttled to the 1st, 2nd, 4th, 8th… failure so a dead collector costs log lines in proportion to log2 of the outage rather than one line per export interval. The error is returned unchanged, so the SDK's retry and drop behaviour is untouched. Readiness deliberately does not follow the collector: an unready plugin skips OnRequest, which is where the tracestate stamp and the minted traceparent are written, so an outage would fragment every trace on the wire instead of merely delaying export. Ready's doc comment now states exactly what it claims. The counter is to be exposed through pipeline.MetricsProvider once this branch is rebased onto main, where that interface now lives. Tests: the observer counts and passes through a refused batch, directly and through the SDK; the throttle logs exactly the powers of two.

bypass_hosts was an unanchored strings.Contains against bare-word defaults, so a legitimate workload at prometheus-metrics-agent.team1.svc silently left the lineage graph, and a tenant could opt out of being graphed at all by naming a service to contain one of the default words. An entry is now a path.Match glob checked with the port stripped and case folded, which is the convention ibac, sparc and cpex already use for the key of the same name; the defaults carry both the short and the dotted form because in-cluster short-name calls are ordinary. The list is now honoured on the outbound phase only. On the inbound phase Host is the caller's own header, so a bypass driven by it is an opt-out from being recorded that needs no service name at all. Both bypass lists are validated at decode. An entry that matches everything - empty or whitespace-only, "/" for a path, "*" for a host - disabled the plugin with no signal anywhere: every exchange took the skip, no span was ever emitted, and Ready() still reported true. It is now a boot error, and a host entry that is not valid glob syntax is refused too. Entries are trimmed rather than left to never match. Setting either key replaces the default list rather than extending it. That was already the behaviour, and is the convention the sibling plugins share, but nothing said so next to a field documented as "Default: [...]" - so it is now stated on both keys, in the contract key table and in the catalog. Contract goes to v1.6.1 wording only; spans and wire are unchanged. Tests: the glob matrix pins both false positives that used to be skipped, the case fold, the optional port and an IPv6 literal; an inbound Host matching the list still emits its pair; every refused config shape fails at decode and a trimmed one round-trips; and setting one key is proven to leave the other's defaults intact.

The only capture_io-off assertion in the file could not fail. It ran on a fixture with no parser extensions, so lineage.protocol was http - and ioInputValue/ioOutputValue dispatch on a2a, mcp and inference only, with no http arm, because the plugin attaches parsed content and never reads a raw body. Both returned "" for either value of the flag, so the absence of input.value/output.value proved nothing about the privacy default it was named after. The default is now proven on an MCP tools/call fixture whose arguments and result both yield a non-empty value, so the flag is the only thing that can suppress them. The second half of the test flips the flag on against a fresh fixture and asserts both values appear, which is what makes the first half non-vacuous; the fixture has to be rebuilt because a pipeline.Context carries its own finished state and a second RunFinish on it is dropped. Verified by mutation: with both capture_io guards forced open, the new test fails on each value while the old assertions still passed. TestBodyless_UnparsedNoCaptureStillEmitsBothSpans keeps the three assertions it is named for - protocol, a paired exchange.id and outcome=ok on an unparsed exchange - and carries a comment saying why it deliberately makes no capture_io claim.

TestForbiddenKeysNeverEmitted ranged over exp.GetSpans() with no assertion that any span existed, so the scan was vacuous whenever the plugin emitted nothing and a regression that silenced it entirely passed green. A tripwire that cannot fail is worse than none, because it reads as coverage - and what it covers is the contract's hardest rule, the retired vocabulary that must never come back. It now takes the pair through roleSplit, the helper every other test in the file already uses. roleSplit fatals unless the exchange produced exactly one request and one response span, and rejects any span outside that pair, so the scan can neither run on an empty set nor miss a span. Verified by mutation: with OnRequest forced to skip every exchange, the test now fails where it previously passed.

truncate treats every non-positive max as unbounded, so max_payload_bytes accepted -2 and below and quietly attached whole payloads - with capture_io on, unbounded prompts and tool arguments leaving the pod on a typo. The contract and the catalog both name -1 as the opt-out, so anything below it is now refused at decode and the sentinel has a name. The decode boundary also had no test. The cap was only ever set straight onto the struct, which skips the remap that makes an explicit 0 mean "unset" - and that remap is the only thing standing between max_payload_bytes: 0 and uncapped payloads. Deleting it would have been a silent privacy regression with every test still green. One table now pins all six shapes an operator can write. Contract v1.6.1 wording only; spans and wire unchanged.

The Finisher contract states that OnFinish runs best-effort and that panics are recovered and logged, and dispatchFinish scopes that recover to a single plugin's dispatch. A recover of our own over the same phase caught nothing the framework would not have caught; it only relabelled the WARN. The canonical Finisher example in that same interface doc keeps no recover either. OnRequest is left as it is. No plugin in the repo recovers that phase, so making this one the first is a framework question rather than a lineage one - raised on the review thread. The contract's lone-request-span note said the plugin recovered such a panic. The pipeline does, and still logs a WARN, so the cause stands and only the actor changes.

The contract said "abandoned = no status was ever produced", which reads as an iff and is not one. An allow or a deny with StatusCode 0 emits ok or denied with no status attached, so three of the four words can appear without one. abandoned is reached only for a nil Outcome, or an error that never wrote a status. Nothing downstream mis-derives - the consumer reads lineage.outcome as an emitted fact and never recomputes it from the status - so this is the document being wrong rather than the producer.

Spans carry principal facts on every inbound request, and whole prompts and tool output under capture_io, so a plaintext dial deserves to be visible. Requiring TLS instead was considered and does not work here: a host:port does not say whether the collector is in-cluster or across the internet, and the platform's own collector listens on plaintext gRPC at 4317 with no TLS option, so a hard requirement would leave the plugin unusable on the deployment it ships in. Init now logs a WARN, once, when it dials plaintext to a non-loopback endpoint, naming the endpoint and the two knobs that encrypt it. Loopback is exempt: that traffic never leaves the network namespace, and localhost:4317 is this plugin's own default - a warning that fires on the default configuration is a warning nobody reads. With otel_ca_file, TLS to a cert-manager-issued in-cluster collector is now possible as well as advised.

truncate() guarded only input.value/output.value, so every other string attribute and the span name were emitted uncapped — and the OTel SDK never truncates on its own (unlimited default, no SpanLimits set). Several of those values are caller-controlled: one request could put a 100 KB span name, a 100 KB url.path or a 50 KB mcp.tool (a params.name field from the request body) into the backend. New max_attr_bytes key (default 256, same 0/-1/negative semantics as max_payload_bytes) applied to every variable-content string attribute and the composed request span name; fixed-vocabulary facts and the hex ids are bounded by construction.

Two false absolutes: 'TLS-passthrough … produce no exchange' holds only in envoy-sidecar mode — the proxy-sidecar forward proxy runs the outbound pipeline on CONNECT, so every HTTPS destination emits an ordinary span pair (http.method=CONNECT, url.scheme=tcp, no path, no payload); and §3.4's 'every exchange, both directions' missed the three cases where the stamp is not written (bypassed exchange, producer not ready, insert refused on a malformed member). §3.5 gains the bypassed-hop consequence.

A valid traceparent with the sampled-out flag (-00) exported zero spans: the SDK-default ParentBased sampler honors the caller's decision, and every peer sidecar inherits it, so one flag byte at the fleet entry silenced the whole chain — silently (a dropped span is non-recording; nothing logs). Lineage is an audit record, and a caller-chosen flag is not an opt-out from being graphed — the same posture that made bypass_hosts outbound-only. Set AlwaysSample explicitly (extracted into newTracerProvider so the test exercises the wiring Init installs).

OnRequest recorded observe while rewriting the forwarded tracestate on nearly every exchange — the repo's invocation vocabulary defines observe as attaching data without changing the message, and modify as mutating it (cpex, the other header-writing plugin, records modify). restampTracestate now reports whether it wrote, which is exactly whether the message was mutated: whenever mintTraceparent writes, the restamp that follows cannot fail (a minted context's TraceState is empty). A pure observer, or a refused Insert, still records observe — so the mint_traceparent knob's effect is visible in the abctl timeline.

bypass_paths was a hand-rolled prefix match while the same key is a path.Match glob in ibac, sparc and cpex — and the repo already has the shared bypass package (built for jwt-validation) doing exactly this job, with boot-time validation, query stripping and path normalization. Two measured consequences of the divergence: the /health default prefix silently swallowed /health-records/... (real traffic exempt from being graphed), and a glob copied from a sibling config (/.well-known/*) could never match and was accepted without a word. Build a bypass.Matcher in Configure, the same wiring jwt-validation and sparc use; defaults become the glob shape. Contract v1.6.2 and catalog updated. This completes for paths the same convention move review round 4 made for bypass_hosts. Assisted-By: Claude (Anthropic AI) <noreply@anthropic.com> Signed-off-by: YehoshuaSagron <ysagron@gmail.com>
The parsers are not mutually exclusive — mcp-parser attaches to any JSON-RPC body, including every a2a exchange — so the fixed precedence (a2a > mcp > inference) decides real classifications and keys the payload reduction, yet the contract's row read as if the label were unambiguous. Prose only; the behaviour is unchanged and as old as protocolOf's switch order. Assisted-By: Claude (Anthropic AI) <noreply@anthropic.com> Signed-off-by: YehoshuaSagron <ysagron@gmail.com>
Contract §2 called its lone-request-span list exhaustive with three causes, all crash-shaped. The fourth is routine: on a hot reload old pipelines stop a drain window (default 30 s) after the swap, and an exchange that outlives it — any SSE stream or slow LLM turn — emits its response span into the old, already-shut-down provider, where it is dropped. An operator following the list would hunt for a crash that never happened. Prose only; the consumer already renders the lone span as in-flight.

The export-failure counter is the operator signal for a collector outage (readiness deliberately does not follow the collector); surfacing it on /v1/pipeline was promised in review.

TestDiscover_ExpectedTags exists to force acknowledgment when a new plugin changes the lite tag set; this branch's plugins_lineage.go makes lite-tags derive exclude_plugin_lineage, and the want string must say so.

The contract claimed a match-everything bypass entry is refused at boot; the code refuses only the literal shapes (empty, whitespace, '*', '/*'). An exotic glob such as '?*' matches every non-empty value and is accepted — deliberately: bypass config is operator-owned, the refusal is a typo guard rather than a boundary, and the siblings' keys behave identically. Say exactly that. Assisted-By: Claude (Anthropic AI) <noreply@anthropic.com> Signed-off-by: YehoshuaSagron <ysagron@gmail.com>

Summary
Adds a
lineage-telemetryplugin that emits two facts-only OTel spans perHTTP exchange crossing the sidecar:
lineage.exchange.id(the request span's own id).Span names are
{self_id} {protocol} {operation}, with the response spanappending
response. The facts arelineage.role,lineage.direction,lineage.self.id,lineage.peer.host,lineage.protocol,lineage.principal.{sub,client},lineage.outcome,lineage.denied_by,lineage.parent.source, plusurl.schemeandurl.path(query-free —anything from
?on is stripped before emission, so a query-string secretnever reaches the trace store even with payload capture off). With
capture_io: truethe parsed message content rides along asinput.value/output.value, so a trace viewer shows the actual A2A message, MCP toolarguments or LLM prompt inline.
The producer records facts, not meaning. No hop classification, no trust
vocabulary, no identity guessing. Anything interpretive — what kind of hop this
is, which entity it belongs to — lives in whatever consumes the spans. That
separation is the design, and it is why the plugin stays small and the
vocabulary can change without touching Go.
Two companion PRs depend on this one, both targeting
main: #852 (theattach kit — wrap a stock image with a propagate-only shim and attach the
sidecar) and #853 (the weather demo built on the kit). Neither changes this
plugin; they are the reproduction path (see Verification).
Configuration
Eleven keys, decoded with
DisallowUnknownFieldsso a typo is a boot errorrather than a silent default, and surfaced to
/v1/plugins,/v1/pipelineand abctl via
ConfigSchema()like the other configurable plugins:capture_iois off by default — payloads may contain user messages andmodel output.
self_idfalls back toself_id_file, defaulting to/shared/client-id.txt, the operator-mounted credential, and is emitted reducedto its last
/-segment (a SPIFFE ID emits its final element).bypass_pathsand
bypass_hostskeep agent-card discovery, health probes and telemetrybackends out of the graph by default. Both are
path.Matchglobs: pathsthrough the shared
bypasspackage (the same matcher and semanticsjwt-validationandsparcuse for this key, query stripped and pathnormalized — an earlier prefix match silently bypassed
/health-records/...under the
/healthdefault), hosts with the port stripped and case folded,and outbound-only for hosts, since an inbound
Hostis the caller's ownheader. Setting either key replaces the default list, and an invalid entry —
or one matching everything by its literal shape — is refused at boot. Plaintext export to a non-loopback
collector is allowed — the stock platform collector is plaintext on the pod
network — and logged as a WARN at start;
otel_tlswithotel_ca_fileis theencrypted path. The plugin's row and key list are in
authbridge/docs/plugin-catalog.mdalongside the others.Every variable-content string attribute is bounded.
max_payload_bytes(default 4096) caps the two payload values;
max_attr_bytes(default 256)caps everything else a caller can inflate —
url.path,lineage.peer.host,mcp.tool(a request-body field),a2a.session_id— and the span name, cuton a UTF-8 boundary with a visible
…[truncated]marker. The OTel SDK itselfnever truncates (its default attribute limit is unlimited and no SpanLimits
are set), so without these caps one request could put a 100 KB span name into
the backend; measured before the fix, a long path did exactly that.
mint_traceparentis on by default. A request that arrives with no validtraceparent— absent, empty or malformed, as the W3C propagator judges it —is forwarded with one naming the plugin's own request span, so the next element
has a context to extract and the tracestate stamp has a header to ride on. A
valid
traceparentis never touched.Cross-pod parenting rides one tracestate member
Each sidecar parents an exchange from the
lineage-parenttracestate memberwhen present, else the wire parent, else none — and re-stamps that member with
its own request span id. A valid forwarded
traceparentis never modified— an app with its own tracing keeps its chain intact toward its own backend.
An invalid one is restarted, which is W3C Trace Context's processing model
for it: W3C reads
tracestateonly alongside a validtraceparent, so arequest that carried none would leave the stamp with nothing to ride on.
Measured live before that change, one traceparent-less turn through a four-pod
fleet produced 32 spans in two traces and 9 trace roots instead of 1 —
the app's propagate-only shim minted the trace id, but the entry's stamp never
reached the app's outbound calls, so each fell to an app-internal,
never-exported parent. With the minted
traceparentthe same turn is one treewith one exported root.
lineage.parent.sourcerecords which mechanism chosethe parent:
tracestate,wire, ornone(nothing valid on the wire — thespan roots a trace). No mechanism guesses a parent: missing data degrades to an
explicit unknown or fails loudly.
Four choices in that mechanism, stated so they read as choices:
traceparentis restarted, a valid one never touched. Thepropagator's verdict decides: absent, empty and malformed all extract as no
context and get a new
traceparentnaming this request span with thecaller's
tracestatedropped — W3C Trace Context's processing model for anunparseable
traceparent. Tested for all three, with a foreigntracestateriding along.
ParentBasedsampler, a caller sending a validtraceparentwith thesampled-out flag (
…-00) exported zero spans — and every downstreamsidecar inherited the decision, so one flag byte at the fleet entry silenced
the whole chain, silently. Lineage is an audit record, and a caller-chosen
flag is not an opt-out from being graphed (the same posture that makes
bypass_hostsoutbound-only). The sampler is now an explicitAlwaysSample; the forwardedtraceparentkeeps the caller's flags — avalid one is never modified — so an app's own tracer downstream still honors
them. Tested against the real provider construction.

traceparentand thelineage-parenttracestateto any plaintextdestination, third parties included — two random correlation ids, no
principal or payload data. Opt out per host with
bypass_hosts, globallywith
mint_traceparent: false.under them, and the measured alternative is a graph with no tree. The one
cost is listed under Limits (6).
The wire format is specified at v1.6.2 in
authbridge/docs/lineage-wire-contract.md, vendored into this PR and keptbyte-identical with the consumer's copy, whose test suite is pinned to it; a
change is a PR to both repositories and the version in the title is the pin.
This PR is what moved it from v1.5.3 (v1.6 = the minted
traceparentandparent.source=none; v1.6.1 = the 2026-09-03 review round, prose andconfiguration only; v1.6.2 = this revision —
url.pathquery-free,max_attr_bytes, unconditional sampling,bypass_pathsas globs). Theconsumer side (the same document, three tests, no derivation change — the
consumer derives nothing from
parent.source) is inrossoctl/lab-data-governance#177. Every attribute name, its conditional
emission, and the parenting rule are contract. The tracestate member is named
lineage-parent(renamed fromdg-parentin an earlier revision: it carriesthe sidecar chain's own parent link and names no consumer).
Listener header propagation (#760, merged 2026-08-25)
The plugin writes its tracestate stamp — and, when the wire carried no valid
one, the
traceparent— intopctx.Headers. #760 made every plugin headermutation reach the wire in
extprocandforwardproxy(previously onlyAuthorizationdid), with guard tests inlistener/extproc/server_headerdiff_test.goandlistener/forwardproxy/server_headerdiff_test.go; this branch contains it.Without it the stamp died in the pipeline context and the graph degraded into
phantom-root forests.
Opt-out is a build tag you control
The plugin registers through your one-tag-file-per-plugin convention
(
cmd/authbridge-{envoy,proxy}/plugins_lineage.go, 5 lines each). A build withexclude_plugin_lineagelinks none of the plugin and none of its OTelexporter subtree.
authbridge-liteexcludes it automatically: since #861 the lite tag set isderived by
authbridge/scripts/lite-tagsfrom the plugin sources, and everydefault-on plugin not in its
liteKeepallowlist — this one included — gets anexclude tag. Verified on this branch: the lite build carries no lineage code
and is 22.3 MB (24.5 MB if it linked the plugin). (The plugin could not
run there anyway — its
RequiresAny{a2a-parser, mcp-parser, inference-parser}names three plugins lite excludes, so a lite pipeline listing lineage refuses
to start.)

4ab7bcf76664cd8b9f6ac700605b4f84— 224 spans,all this producer's, every request span paired with its response span by
lineage.exchange.id(112/112), one root, 0parent.source=none— one tree,no fragmentation, readable from the spans alone in any OTLP backend
(Phoenix/Jaeger or the collector's debug log).
A collector that cannot be reached is visible from the plugin: each refused
batch logs a WARN under the plugin's name, and the running total is exported as
the
lineage.export_failuresmetric viaMetrics()— the recommended operatorsignal for collector outages. (The WARN itself throttles on the lifetime
counter, so a repeat outage logs late; a per-outage throttle with a recovery
line is a noted follow-up, and the metric does not have that gap.) Readiness
deliberately does not follow the collector — an unready plugin would stop
stamping and fragment traces on the wire for the length of an outage.
Reproducible evidence that it does what it claims is the demo PR (#853,
built on the kit in #852): enable the plugin, point
otel_endpointat anyOTLP sink, and one A2A request yields the pair. On a stock install that sink
is the platform's own collector, whose default pipeline exports to
debug—so the spans are readable straight from its log, with no extra service to
deploy. (Phoenix is not installed by default;
components.phoenix.enabledisfalse, so it is one helm value away ratherthan already there.) Run against a live cluster, that is literally:
both carrying the same
lineage.exchange.id. Nothing beyond this repo and acluster is required to reproduce it.
Limits, stated plainly
mode a TLS connection matches the
transport_protocol: tlsfilter chainand is tunneled as bytes — the
ext_procchain is never entered, so anHTTPS hop produces no span at all: no method, no host, no status. The
only observable is the SNI name at handshake, which is why an SNI observer
is the named follow-up rather than "parse the body". In proxy-sidecar
mode (the default) an HTTPS destination is a CONNECT tunnel through the
forward proxy, which does run the outbound pipeline — so every HTTPS
egress emits an ordinary span pair with
http.method=CONNECT,url.scheme=tcp,lineage.peer.hostnaming the dial target, and no pathor payload (the tunneled bytes are opaque). The producer does not filter
tunnel exchanges; what they mean is the consumer's call. Our envoy-mode
probe asserts both sides: the same external endpoint called over plaintext
yields exactly one span pair, and over HTTPS yields none, while both
calls return 200 to the app.
capture_io: true,input.value/output.valuelonger thanmax_payload_bytesare cut on a UTF-8 boundary and suffixed…[truncated],so the loss is visible in the span. A consumer that parses the value as JSON
must expect a truncated value to fail that parse.
-1attaches whole; anyother negative value is refused at boot. Every other variable string
attribute and the span name are capped by
max_attr_bytes(default 256),same semantics.
pipeline YAML places this plugin after the gate plugins (ordering is by
position in the list — it is not soft-declared under this capabilities
model), and the pipeline short-circuits on a request-phase reject — so an
exchange refused by a gate is invisible to lineage. Denials after
OnRequestare captured (lineage.outcome=denied+lineage.denied_by).Moving lineage ahead of the gates is a named follow-up, not current
behaviour. Documented in the package doc; it matters to anyone who would
reach for these spans as an audit trail.
lineage.principal.subandlineage.principal.clientare emitted only oninbound request spans and only from a validated JWT — the plugin reads
pctx.Identity, which is nil unless a gate plugin verified a token. Anentry call that arrives without one therefore carries no principal fact at
all. That is deliberate: the alternative is inferring a caller from a
network address, which is a guess, and this producer does not guess. The
consequence is that the first hop of a trace is typically anonymous.
mint_traceparent: falseplus deleting the
selectParentandrestampTracestatecalls (and theparent.sourcefact) yields a sidecar that parents on the wire contextalone and writes no header at all. The package doc records the trade-off;
the variant is not built.
sidecar mints a
traceparent, the app's server span becomes a child of aspan that lives in our backend, not its own. A propagate-only shim exports
nothing and does not care; an app with a real exporter shows one dangling
parent at its trace edge. That is the cost of
mint_traceparent, and thereason it is a knob.
