Split out from #243 (OpenTelemetry plugins topic) so the TypeScript material can be finalized independently of the Python docs.

What's here

  • references/typescript/integrations/opentelemetry.md — TS OpenTelemetry integration reference (OpenTelemetryPlugin, self-contained worker+client setup using ConsoleSpanExporter, propagator note, common mistakes)
  • references/typescript/observability.md — adds the Distributed Tracing (OpenTelemetry) section
  • references/integrations.md — adds the TypeScript OpenTelemetry catalog row

Still to resolve

  • In-workflow custom spans: unlike Python (get_tracer(...).start_as_current_span(...)), the TS SDK does not expose a workflow-side tracer — the workflow getTracer() is module-internal and the official sample only auto-creates lifecycle spans via interceptors. The doc currently shows the auto-span setup only; we should decide how (or whether) to document custom workflow spans.

Notes

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

Split out from the OpenTelemetry plugins topic (PR #243) so the TypeScript
material can be finalized separately. Adds the TS OTel integration
reference, the Distributed Tracing section in TS observability, and the
TS row in the integrations catalog.
