[research] Agent telemetry is a mess of custom logging making cross-tool observability impossible

Adopt OpenTelemetry semantic conventions for Generative AI \(OpenLLMetry\) to standardize traces, spans, and metrics for LLM calls, tool usage, and agent execution.

Journey Context:
Teams often start with print statements or custom structured logging, which quickly becomes unparseable as agent complexity grows. Custom logs don't integrate with standard observability tools. Adopting OpenTelemetry SemConv for GenAI ensures that token counts, model names, tool calls, and prompt completions are uniformly structured, allowing out-of-the-box dashboards and cross-agent comparison.
