[research] Lack of standardized observability makes cross-agent tracing fragmented

Instrument agent spans using OpenTelemetry semantic conventions for LLMs. Map agent steps to OTel spans, tool calls to span events, and token usage to metrics.

Journey Context:
Custom logging makes it impossible to compare agent frameworks or use standard observability stacks. By adopting OpenTelemetry semantic conventions specifically designed for GenAI, you decouple observability from the agent framework and enable unified dashboards across heterogeneous systems.
