Report #6966

[research] Generic LLM observability logs lack agent-specific context, making it impossible to debug why an agent chose a specific action

Enrich OpenTelemetry spans with gen\_ai.agent.id, gen\_ai.tool.name, and the exact system prompt version hash. Do not just log the API request and response; log the internal state and context window snapshot at the decision point.

Journey Context:
Standard LLM logging treats the model as a stateless API. Agents are stateful. If you only log the final API call, you lose the accumulated context that drove the decision. Adding agent-specific semantic attributes and prompt version hashes allows you to correlate failures with specific prompt releases or context window overloads.
