fix(client): preserve interoperable trace context

[yordis]

• Cross-service traces need to retain W3C trace state, sampling decisions, and baggage across stored events.
• Exported telemetry needs stable vendor-neutral semantics shared with the server and Rust client.
• Generated definitions prevent semantic-convention drift as the OpenTelemetry contract evolves.

PR Summary

High Risk
Observability and cross-service tracing behavior change materially (ActivitySource name, span kinds/names, attribute keys, and event metadata propagation format), which can break existing dashboards and trace linking until consumers migrate.

Overview
Aligns client tracing with OpenTelemetry semantic conventions (v1.43.0) and adds Weaver-based codegen so attribute names stay in sync with a checked registry and CI (semconv:check).

Trace context in event metadata no longer uses custom $traceId / $spanId fields. Injection and extraction go through the configured W3C text-map propagator (traceparent, tracestate, baggage), including replacement of stale mixed-case keys. Subscription handling creates consumer process spans linked to remote append context and copies baggage onto the activity.

Exported spans and tags shift to vendor-neutral shapes: client database operations use db.system.name, db.operation.name, db.collection.name, and optional db.operation.batch.size; subscription processing uses messaging attributes plus trogon.eventstore.event.type. The ActivitySource name becomes TrogonEventStore.Client, operation names simplify (append, batch_append, process), and legacy tags such as db.user and otel.status_code are dropped in favor of error.type on failures.

Hand-maintained TelemetryTags / TracingMetadata helpers are removed in favor of generated TelemetryAttributes / TrogonTelemetryAttributes. Tests add propagation and export coverage, serialize diagnostics tests, and share one permanent test node across fixtures.

Walkthrough

The change adds OpenTelemetry semantic-convention definitions, generated C# constants, and CI validation. Client tracing now uses OpenTelemetry attributes, propagation, updated operation names, and consumer contexts. Diagnostics tests cover the new behavior.

Changes

Semantic convention definitions and tooling

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Registry contracts and generated attributes otel/semconv/registry-*, otel/semconv/registry/..., otel/semconv/templates/...	Defines the v1.43.0 registry, database and process spans, custom event attributes, and C# templates.
Generation and CI validation .config/mise/tasks/semconv/*, mise.toml, .github/workflows/dotnet.yml	Adds generation and consistency checks, pins Weaver, and runs validation in CI.

Diagnostics tracing migration

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Tracing and propagation model src/KurrentDB.Client/Core/Common/Diagnostics/...	Replaces legacy telemetry and tracing metadata with generated attributes, OpenTelemetry propagation, updated activity names, consumer contexts, and exception attributes.
Operation integration src/KurrentDB.Client/Streams/..., src/KurrentDB.Client/PersistentSubscriptions/..., samples/diagnostics/*, src/KurrentDB.Client/OpenTelemetry/...	Updates append and subscription activities to use database and messaging attributes, batch sizes, consumer groups, and the new instrumentation name.
Diagnostics validation test/KurrentDB.Client.Tests.Common/..., test/KurrentDB.Client.Tests/Diagnostics/..., test/KurrentDB.Client.Tests/*.csproj	Adds OpenTelemetry test dependencies, serializes diagnostics tests, and validates activities, attributes, exceptions, propagation, trace state, and baggage.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 25f0c

The change preserves trace context and baggage across stored events, but existing applications may lose tracing after the ActivitySource rename, and producer-controlled metadata could spoof trace relationships or add exporter-visible baggage; the localized propagation-key handling issue should also be addressed or explicitly accepted before merge.

A rabbit checks the spans at dawn
New tags appear where old ones yawn
Traceparent hops through fields of white
Batch sizes count the steps just right
The registry blooms, and tests take flight

- Line 17: Update the dictionary injection callback in EventMetadataExtensions
so existing keys differing only by case are removed or overwritten before the
propagator adds the new value, preventing both “TraceParent” and “traceparent”
from being retained with case-sensitive dictionaries. Preserve the caller’s
dictionary behavior where possible and add a regression test covering mixed-case
existing metadata.
