# 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.

## 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.
