- Around line 447-452: Update the otlpExportIntervalMs,
otlpMetricsExportIntervalMs, and otlpLogsExportIntervalMs fallbacks so each
corresponding otelEnvironment signal setting takes precedence over
env.otlpExportIntervalMs, while retaining the 10_000 default.
In `@apps/server/src/observability/Layers/Observability.ts`:
- Around line 46-47: Update the headers selection in Observability.ts around
headersFor to return settings.headers whenever settings exists, falling back to
config.otlpHeaders only when settings is absent. In apps/server/src/http.ts at
line 325, select legacy headers only when config.otelEnvironment.traces.settings
is absent; in apps/server/src/serverLogger.ts at line 18, apply the same rule
for log settings.
In `@docs/operations/observability.md`:
- Around line 713-715: Update the T3CODE_OTEL_SDK_DISABLED documentation to
limit its effect to server exports, while retaining the existing Settings and
standard-variable precedence details; do not claim it disables Electron desktop
process traces or logs.
In `@packages/shared/src/otelEnvironment.ts`:
- Around line 199-202: Update the header parsing logic in the visible
member-processing flow to return undefined when any non-empty member lacks the
"=" separator or has an empty key, instead of skipping malformed members.
Preserve successful parsing for valid members so optionalRecord can warn and
apply the configured fallback.
- Around line 341-345: Update the maxExportSize parsing in the batching
configuration flow to use the existing positive-integer parser, so zero and
negative values produce a warning and fall back to
SPEC_DEFAULT_MAX_EXPORT_BATCH_SIZE (512). Keep readInt unchanged for
schedule-delay fields, where zero remains valid.
- Around line 271-280: Update signalWantsOtlp and its signalSettings handling so
unknown OTEL_*_EXPORTER entries emit a warning once and fall back to the default
otlp exporter when no recognized exporter remains. Preserve explicit none as a
disable signal, while ensuring values such as otlpp do not silently disable
export.

Reviewed at 79f0112. No crash-class bugs left as far as I can tell; the bot findings were real and are fixed (I probed the OTEL_RESOURCE_ATTRIBUTES shadowing against effect rc.115 directly and it behaves as described). Requesting changes on shape and scope rather than correctness.
Use Config, not hand parsing. This is what the Config.map? comments were about. The reader does Config.String(name).pipe(Config.option, ...) and then re-implements ints, booleans, literals, URLs, and key=value records inside Effect.map. Effect already has Config.Int, Config.URL, Config.Literals, Config.Record(Schema.String, Schema.StringFromUriComponent), Config.orElse, and its own internal/otlpEnv.ts that does the per-signal-then-generic fallback for endpoint, headers, and exporter list in ~35 lines. The one thing we need that the library does not give us is "warn and fall back to the default instead of failing". That is a single small helper wrapped around Config.option, applied to the library combinators. The module should land at a fraction of 918 lines.
Tests. 1.5k lines of tests for a config reader is more than the reader deserves and most of it is hand-parsing coverage that disappears once the parsing is Config's. Keep the behaviors that are ours: precedence between the three sources, whole-signal ownership (no T3CODE_OTLP_HEADERS leaking to an OTEL_* collector), service.name refusal, zero refused for intervals/batch sizes, grpc declining only its own signal, the resource-attribute shadowing in Observability.ts, and the WSLENV forwarding. Drop the rest, and collapse the parsing edge cases that share a setup into table-driven cases.
Comments. Roughly half the new file is prose arguing each design decision at the site. Repo norm is comments that say how a thing is used; the reasoning that crosses boundaries belongs in one place (the module header or the docs page), not repeated per function. Same trim applies to the 217-line docs addition, which is accurate but reads as an essay.
Smaller:
apps/desktop/src/backend/DesktopBackendConfiguration.tsnow forwards the endpoint names throughWSLENVand says bare names cross verbatim, but the comment abovereadBackendObservabilitySettings(~L268) and the--dev-urlcomment (~L781) still say URL-shaped values are deliberately not forwarded because translation is unreliable. One of the two positions has to go.namedinapps/server/src/cli/config.tsduplicatesblankAsUnset, which the same file already imports.- A malformed
OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_TRACES_HEADERSis dropped with a warning and then silently falls back to the genericOTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_HEADERS, which is the wrong-credential case the whole-signal rule exists to prevent, one level down. Either warn that the generic set is what will be sent, or treat the signal's header list as owned once it is set at all.

🟡 Medium src/otelEnvironment.ts:493
An invalid signal-specific protocol falls back to OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_PROTOCOL, so OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_TRACES_PROTOCOL=typo with generic grpc disables traces, while generic http/json sends them as JSON instead of using the default http/protobuf. Because decide checks only own.value, it cannot distinguish an absent setting from ignoring's invalid-value result; treat own.warnings as ownership and select the default for invalid signal-specific values.

One decision is yours before this should merge. An ambient
OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINTturns export on by itself here, which is what every otherOpenTelemetry SDK does. That also means a collector someone set in their shell profile months ago
for a different service starts receiving T3 Code spans, which carry thread ids, turn ids, and
workspace paths, without them doing anything today.
OTEL_SDK_DISABLED=trueis the way out, butit is an opt-out and the person who needs it is exactly the person who does not know export
started. With 200,000+ users that call is not mine to make. Say so and I will read the standard
names for everything except the endpoint, so an operator still has to name a
T3CODE_OTLP_*URLor set one in Settings to begin exporting.
A machine that has already configured OpenTelemetry once should not have to learn a second set of
names for the same settings.
T3CODE_OTLP_*covers endpoints, headers, wire format and interval,but the standard names reached nothing, so someone who exports
OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINTforeverything else on the box got no T3 Code telemetry, and
OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_HEADERSneverarrived at an authenticated collector.
The standard names slot into the precedence chain that already exists, directly under
T3CODE_OTLP_*and above the desktop bootstrap envelope and Settings. An exported variable is whatthe operator asked for now and a stored one is what somebody asked for once, and it is the order
T3CODE_OTEL_SDK_DISABLEDandOTEL_SDK_DISABLEDfollow too. A setup that never mentionedOpenTelemetry keeps exactly the behavior it has, and
T3CODE_OTLP_*is still the way to name astored endpoint that nothing on the machine can redirect.
Whichever source names a signal's endpoint owns that whole signal, not only the URL. Otherwise an
ambient endpoint variable could reach in and change the wire format, headers, or batching of an
export it never pointed anywhere, and startup would report a signal as declined while it was
exporting fine. A signal's own variable owns it from the moment it is set, whether or not the
value turned out to be usable, because the alternative is sending a signal the credential that
was meant for a different collector.
A value T3 Code cannot act on is named once in the startup log and then ignored, rather than
killing the process or quietly turning export off. One bad variable costs you that variable and
nothing else. Two values turn a signal off instead, because each names something that does not
exist here rather than a value that failed to parse:
OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_PROTOCOL=grpc, whereposting an HTTP body to a gRPC endpoint would fail in a way much harder to read than exporting
nothing, and an
OTEL_{TRACES,METRICS,LOGS}_EXPORTERnaming only exporters T3 Code has noimplementation of. A list that names nothing recognizable at all is the other way around and keeps
exporting: reading
otlppas "not OTLP" would turn one transposed letter into a signal that stopswith nothing in the log to connect the two.
A malformed list is discarded whole rather than partly, and a discarded one does not hand its
signal back to the generic variable underneath it.
authorization=token,x-tenantwould otherwiseauthenticate and then route to the wrong tenant, and a typo in one signal's headers would send
that signal the credential belonging to a collector nobody pointed it at, both of which read as a
collector problem rather than as the typo they are. Zero is refused wherever the exporter would
act on it every time around its loop. A batch size of zero is met by every record, so the exporter stops batching and
posts one HTTP request per span, and an export interval of zero never waits, so metrics post
continuously while traces and logs spin a fiber on an empty buffer. None of these are unreadable
values; they are values that would do damage while looking like they were honored.
OTEL_SERVICE_NAMEand aservice.namehidden inOTEL_RESOURCE_ATTRIBUTESare refused with awarning naming the one that was set. This keeps the static
t3-serverthe server already had, andit is the one place this deliberately departs from the specification: renaming a process merges two
services in every dashboard built on them, and a shell profile written for another app should not
be able to do that. The
service.namekey is dropped rather than passed through so the exporternever receives two of them.
T3CODE_OTLP_SERVICE_NAMEstill works. Refusing silently is the realfailure mode this variable is prone to, which is why it is a warning and not a no-op.
The resource attributes this reader accepted are handed to the exporters instead of being left for
them to read again. Each one builds its resource from
OTEL_RESOURCE_ATTRIBUTESitself and treatsa value it cannot decode as a defect, so a list this reader had already reported and dropped would
still have stopped the server from starting, and a key it left encoded would have reached a
dashboard under a different name than the one that was set.
OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_METRICS_TEMPORALITY_PREFERENCE=lowmemoryresolves todeltarather thanfalling back to the default. One temporality is applied to every instrument here, so
lowmemorycannot be honored exactly, but the default was the wrong half to keep: a receiver that accepts
delta histograms only, which is how Datadog's OTLP intake behaves, discards cumulative histograms
without reporting an error, so every
_durationtimer would have gone missing while the_totalcounters kept arriving.
lowmemoryasks for delta on synchronous counters and histograms, andevery metric here is one of those, so
deltais exact for what T3 Code actually records. Unsetstill means
cumulative, which is what the specification says and what Prometheus and Mimir want.Whether anything is exported at all is one setting with two names rather than two switches.
T3CODE_OTEL_SDK_DISABLEDanswers it andOTEL_SDK_DISABLEDanswers it only when ours is unset,which is the same source order every other setting here follows. That order is what lets
T3CODE_OTEL_SDK_DISABLED=falsekeep T3 Code exporting on a machine whose profile disables everyother SDK.
This is larger than the PR size you prefer, and it splits if you want it in pieces: the reader and
its tests, then the server wiring, then the docs. It is one PR here because the reader has no
importer on its own and knip is a CI gate. The Electron main process is deliberately not wired up
in this one; that is a follow-up once this shape is settled.
