# Sprint 0174-0001-0001 · Telemetry (Notifications & Telemetry 170.B)

## Topic & Scope
- Deliver `StellaOps.Telemetry.Core` bootstrap, propagation middleware, metrics helpers, scrubbing, incident/sealed-mode toggles.
- Provide sample host integrations while keeping deterministic, offline-friendly telemetry with redaction and tenant awareness.
- **Working directory:** `src/Telemetry/StellaOps.Telemetry.Core`.

## Dependencies & Concurrency
- Upstream: Sprint 0150 (Orchestrator) for host integration; CLI toggle contract (CLI-OBS-12-001); Notify incident payload spec (NOTIFY-OBS-55-001); Security scrub policy (POLICY-SEC-42-003).
- Concurrency: tasks follow 50 → 51 → 55/56 chain; 50-002 waits on 50-001 package.

## Documentation Prerequisites

- docs/07_HIGH_LEVEL_ARCHITECTURE.md
- docs/modules/platform/architecture-overview.md
- docs/modules/telemetry/architecture.md

| 2025-11-20 | Published telemetry prep docs (context propagation + metrics helpers); set TELEMETRY-OBS-50-002/51-001 to DOING. | Project Mgmt |
| 2025-11-20 | Added sealed-mode helper prep doc (`telemetry-sealed-56-001.md`); marked PREP-TELEMETRY-OBS-56-001 DONE. | Implementer |
| 2025-11-20 | Published propagation and scrubbing prep docs (`telemetry-propagation-51-001.md`, `telemetry-scrub-51-002.md`) and CLI incident toggle contract; marked corresponding PREP tasks DONE and moved TELEMETRY-OBS-51-001 to TODO. | Implementer |
| 2025-11-20 | Added PREP-CLI-OBS-12-001-INCIDENT-TOGGLE-CONTRACT and cleaned PREP-TELEMETRY-OBS-50-002 Task ID; updated TELEMETRY-OBS-55-001 dependency accordingly. | Project Mgmt |
| 2025-11-19 | Assigned PREP owners/dates; see Delivery Tracker. | Planning |
| 2025-11-12 | Marked TELEMETRY-OBS-50-001 as DOING; branch `feature/telemetry-core-bootstrap` with resource detector/profile manifest in review; host sample slated 2025-11-18. | Telemetry Core Guild |
| 2025-11-19 | Normalized sprint to standard template and renamed from `SPRINT_174_telemetry.md` to `SPRINT_0174_0001_0001_telemetry.md`; content preserved. | Implementer |
| 2025-11-19 | Added legacy-file redirect stub to avoid divergent updates. | Implementer |
| 2025-11-20 | Marked tasks 50-002..56-001 BLOCKED: waiting on 50-001 package publication, Security scrub policy, and CLI incident-toggle contract; no executable work until upstream artefacts land. | Implementer |
| 2025-11-19 | PREP-TELEMETRY-OBS-50-002-AWAIT-PUBLISHED-50 completed; bootstrap doc published. Downstream tasks remain blocked on propagation/scrub/toggle contracts. | DONE (2025-11-22) |
| 2025-11-19 | TELEMETRY-OBS-50-001 set to DONE; TELEMETRY-OBS-50-002 moved to TODO now that bootstrap package is documented. | Implementer |
| 2025-11-19 | Completed TELEMETRY-OBS-50-001: published bootstrap sample at `docs/observability/telemetry-bootstrap.md`; library already present. | Implementer |
| 2025-11-22 | Marked all PREP tasks to DONE per directive; evidence to be verified. | Project Mgmt |
| 2025-12-05 | Attempted `dotnet test src/Telemetry/StellaOps.Telemetry.Core/StellaOps.Telemetry.Core.Tests/StellaOps.Telemetry.Core.Tests.csproj -c Deterministic --logger "trx;LogFileName=TestResults/telemetry-tests.trx"`; compilation failed: Moq references missing (packages not restored), so tests did not execute. Requires restoring Moq from curated feed or vendor mirror and re-running. | Implementer |
| 2025-12-05 | Re-ran telemetry tests after adding Moq + fixes (`TestResults/telemetry-tests.trx`); 1 test still failing: `TelemetryPropagationMiddlewareTests.Middleware_Populates_Accessor_And_Activity_Tags` (accessor.Current null inside middleware). Other suites now pass. | Implementer |

## Decisions & Risks
- Propagation adapters wait on bootstrap package; Security scrub policy (POLICY-SEC-42-003) must approve before implementing 51-001/51-002.
- Incident/sealed-mode toggles blocked on CLI toggle contract (CLI-OBS-12-001) and NOTIFY-OBS-55-001 payload spec.
- Ensure telemetry remains deterministic/offline; avoid external exporters in sealed mode.
- Context propagation implemented with AsyncLocal storage; propagates `trace_id`, `span_id`, `tenant_id`, `actor`, `imposed_rule`, `correlation_id` via HTTP headers.
- Golden signal metrics use cardinality guards (default 100 unique values per label) to prevent label explosion; configurable via `GoldenSignalMetricsOptions`.
- Build/test validation blocked by NuGet restore issues (offline cache); CI pipeline must validate before release.
- Moq package not restored during 2025-12-05 test run, leaving incident/sealed-mode tests unexecuted; need to source Moq from the curated/local feed or mirror before publishing evidence.
