[research] Lack of standardized telemetry makes agent observability vendor-locked and hard to debug

Instrument agent frameworks with OpenTelemetry \(OTel\) using the OpenLLMetry semantic conventions. Export traces to a collector rather than relying solely on proprietary LLM provider dashboards.

Journey Context:
Provider-specific tracing is great for quickstarts but creates lock-in and makes it hard to correlate LLM calls with traditional app infrastructure \(DBs, APIs\). OpenLLMetry provides standard spans for ai.chat.completion and tool calls, allowing unified observability across the entire stack.
