Shared worker and sidecar batches can carry links to several request contexts. Collector 0.119 accepts set(links, []) without clearing the links, so the remote privacy branch correctly drops the entire original span. This makes shared batch timing disappear remotely.

Add worker.run_batch.request and sidecar.dispatch.request leaf observations for each distinct valid sampled contributing parent. They have fresh IDs, the exact shared interval, kind and status code, and no span attributes, events, links, tracestate or status text. They enter the existing bounded export queue. Original linked spans stay unchanged locally; the remote linked-span guard stays in place and the collector version is unchanged.

These are observations of shared execution, not extra compute or detailed parents. Detailed descendants retain their original parent IDs. The views cannot recover an unsampled source batch, SDK-discarded links or queue loss. The remote trace resource is rebuilt from five string fields, eliminating duplicate protobuf keys and non-string resource values. The isolated collector self pipeline additionally admits only the fixed-label linked-span filter counter, separating intentional privacy drops from transport failures.

Validation:

  • Real Collector 0.119 tests exercise both rendered Helm receiver branches, distinct and duplicate parents, one-parent and multi-parent worker/sidecar batches, malformed contexts, adversarial link fields, duplicate resource keys, local/remote output, and sanitized self-counter output. An isolated unsafe test branch proves why removing the guard leaks.
  • Six Python SDK tests and 23 shared Rust telemetry tests pass; Rust clippy and sidecar and standalone Rust worker compilation pass.
  • Python formatting/lint, Rust formatting and workflow syntax checks pass. The collector runtime tests run in CI.

Shared collector and contract edits are limited to the batch names, linked-span policy and its fixed-label loss counter; log schemas and other span instrumentation remain separate.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added request-timing spans for sampled, linked worker.run_batch and sidecar.dispatch traces, preserving timing and status while omitting attributes, events, and links.
    • Added a collector metric counting linked spans filtered from remote trace exports.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Remote trace exports now omit linked source spans, while local traces retain the originals.
    • Remote traces retain only approved identity fields and safe request-timing details, excluding other resource and span data.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds Python and Rust tracing processors that create sanitized request-timing views for eligible linked batch spans. Collector configuration filters linked spans from remote output, rebuilds approved resource attributes, and reports filtered-span counts. Unit and Docker integration tests cover projection behavior, collector output, and metrics.

Changes

Batch fan-in trace privacy

Layer / File(s) Summary
Generate and export request-timing views
packages/sie_telemetry/src/batch_fanin.rs, packages/sie_telemetry/src/lib.rs, packages/sie_server/src/sie_server/observability/batch_fanin.py, packages/sie_server/tests/observability/test_batch_fanin.py, packages/sie_server/src/sie_server/observability/tracing.py, packages/sie_server_rust/src/observability/tracing.rs, packages/sie_server_sidecar/src/observability/tracing.rs
The Python and Rust processors create sanitized request-timing views for eligible linked worker.run_batch and sidecar.dispatch spans. They forward the original span and delegate lifecycle operations. The three tracing setups register the processors. Tests cover projections, filtering inputs, and delegation.
Filter linked spans and report counts
deploy/helm/sie-cluster/templates/_otel-collector-config.tpl, telemetry/contract.yaml, telemetry/README.md
Collector configuration rebuilds the approved resource attributes, allows the request-view names, filters linked spans from remote output, and admits the filtered-span metric with its filter attribute. The contract and README describe these policies and request-view behavior.
Exercise rendered collector behavior
tools/ci/tests/test_collector_trace_privacy.py, .github/workflows/ci.yml
The Docker integration test checks local and remote traces, sensitive linked-span fields, filtered-span metrics, and collector logs. CI resolves Helm dependencies and runs the test.

217-257: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Add a linked sidecar.dispatch case to the Docker test.

sample_spans() creates request views only for spans with links. The test creates linked worker.run_batch data, but sidecar.dispatch has no links, so no sidecar.dispatch.request span reaches the collector. The remote assertions therefore do not protect that request-view name or its structural fields. The unit tests cover the fan-in processor, but no other inspected test exercises this rendered collector pipeline.

Suggested fix

@coderabbitai review

The cleanup finding is addressed in 6a7f82f: stop the collector gracefully, read and assert the final logs, and always remove the container from the nested finally block. Both pinned-collector receiver cases pass. Please review the current head and update the prior change request.
