SDK Changes Detected

The following PR was merged to getsentry/sentry-javascript that affects all JavaScript SDK skills:

• feat: Span Streaming sentry-javascript#19119 — feat: Span Streaming (feat: Span Streaming sentry-javascript#19119) — merged 2026-04-09

Potential Skill Gaps

1. New traceLifecycle: 'stream' init option (server-side SDKs)

PR #19119 introduces a new top-level Sentry.init() option for server-side SDKs:

// Server-side SDKs (node, nextjs, nestjs)
Sentry.init({
  traceLifecycle: 'stream',   // NEW — opt into span streaming
  tracesSampleRate: 0.5,
  beforeSendSpan: Sentry.withStreamedSpan(span => {
    span.name = '...';
    return span;
  }),
  // beforeSendTransaction has no effect in streaming mode
});

The skills for sentry-node-sdk, sentry-nextjs-sdk, and sentry-nestjs-sdk do not mention traceLifecycle in their configuration reference tables.

2. New spanStreamingIntegration() for browser

Browser SDKs gain a new opt-in integration:

// Browser SDKs (browser, react, svelte)
Sentry.init({
  integrations: [
    Sentry.spanStreamingIntegration(),   // NEW — opt into span streaming
    Sentry.browserTracingIntegration(),
  ],
  tracesSampleRate: 0.5,
  beforeSendSpan: Sentry.withStreamedSpan(span => {
    span.name = '...';
    return span;
  }),
});

The skills for sentry-browser-sdk, sentry-react-sdk, and sentry-svelte-sdk do not mention spanStreamingIntegration in their integration tables or tracing references.

3. New withStreamedSpan() helper

When span streaming is enabled, beforeSendSpan callbacks must be wrapped with Sentry.withStreamedSpan() to indicate SDK compatibility. The existing skills document beforeSendSpan without mentioning this new requirement.

4. beforeSendTransaction behavior change

When traceLifecycle: 'stream' is active (server) or spanStreamingIntegration is added (browser), beforeSendTransaction has no effect. Skills that document beforeSendTransaction should note this.

Why This Needs Manual Review

• Span Streaming is a new opt-in feature — the existing examples remain valid for users who don't opt in, so we need to add new content rather than replace existing content
• Multiple skill files need coordinated updates: SKILL.md (init options / integration table) and references/tracing.md (new section on span streaming)
• The feature is complex enough to warrant a dedicated subsection explaining when and why to enable it
• The behavior difference between server (traceLifecycle) and browser (spanStreamingIntegration) needs clear documentation

Skill Files to Review

• skills/sentry-node-sdk/SKILL.md + references/tracing.md
• skills/sentry-browser-sdk/SKILL.md + references/tracing.md
• skills/sentry-nextjs-sdk/SKILL.md + references/tracing.md
• skills/sentry-react-sdk/SKILL.md + references/tracing.md
• skills/sentry-nestjs-sdk/SKILL.md + references/tracing.md
• skills/sentry-svelte-sdk/SKILL.md + references/tracing.md

Priority

MEDIUM — new opt-in feature; existing tracing setup remains valid for users who don't opt in, but the new APIs are missing entirely from all skill files.
