  • A collector already wired for T3 Code's traces and metrics had no way to receive its logs, so the one signal that says why a span failed never left the developer's terminal.
  • Logs are not a lesser signal than the other two, so they read the same specification variables the other two do and answer to the same four sources in the same order. A setup that already exports traces gets logs without being told twice.
  • The exporter and the console logger are the same logger set, so a log line in the backend carries the trace and span id of whatever produced it and links back to the span it came from.
  • The runbook said the log signal was ignored, which was true and is the first thing an operator reads before deciding T3 Code cannot send them logs.

…behind

A collector wired for traces and metrics had no way to receive T3 Code's logs, so the one signal that says why a span failed stayed on the developer's terminal.

PR Summary

Medium Risk
Touches process-wide logger installation and OTEL config resolution. Mis-merge of logger layers could drop console/tracer loggers, and new export can send log content to a collector.

Overview
Server logs can now leave for a collector as OTLP, with the same four sources and precedence traces and metrics already use (T3CODE_OTLP_LOGS_URL, desktop bootstrap, Settings, then OTEL_*).

OtelEnvironment treats LOGS as its own signal: dedicated endpoint/protocol/headers, OTEL_LOGS_EXPORTER, and OTEL_BLRP_* batching (1s default) so span delay is not reused. T3CODE_OTLP_EXPORT_INTERVAL_MS still covers every signal. The OTLP logger is installed in the same Logger.layer as console and tracer loggers so records keep trace/span ids.

Settings, desktop bootstrap, and diagnostics copy now include the log endpoint. Older servers without otlpLogsEnabled decode as off. Local stdout/trace files are unchanged.

How do review limits work?

CodeRabbit enforces per-developer PR review limits within each organization.

For paid Pro and Pro+ reviews, CodeRabbit uses a developer's included PR review attempts over the past 7 days to set the current hourly allowance. At typical activity levels, the full plan allowance applies. Higher sustained activity can lower the allowance until earlier attempts leave the 7-day window.

Walkthrough

OTLP log export now works alongside traces and metrics. The change adds log settings and contracts, independent environment resolution, server-side OTLP log export, web diagnostics, tests, and operational documentation.

Changes

OTLP logs observability

Layer / File(s) Summary
Settings and bootstrap contracts
packages/contracts/..., packages/shared/..., apps/desktop/src/backend/..., apps/server/src/serverSettings.test.ts
Settings schemas, persisted parsing, desktop configuration, and bootstrap data now support an optional otlpLogsUrl.
Server configuration resolution
apps/server/src/cli/..., apps/server/src/config.ts, apps/server/src/ws.ts, apps/server/src/*test.ts, packages/client-runtime/...
Server configuration resolves OTLP logs endpoints and intervals from environment, bootstrap, persisted settings, or ambient settings.
Three-signal OpenTelemetry resolution
apps/server/src/observability/...
OpenTelemetry now resolves logs endpoints, protocols, batching, disabled signals, fallback states, and warnings independently from traces and metrics.
Server OTLP log export
apps/server/src/serverLogger.ts, apps/server/src/serverLogger.test.ts
ServerLoggerLive conditionally exports log records with configured resources, headers, batching, and protobuf or JSON serialization.
Diagnostics and documentation
apps/web/src/components/settings/..., docs/operations/observability.md
Diagnostics descriptions and operational guidance now include OTLP logs, signal-specific endpoints, protocols, batching, and isolation rules.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to d7f27

The PR adds OTLP log export and related settings, but its current configuration contract can cause newer clients to reject responses from older servers that do not include the new log flag. Make the field optional and default it to false before merging.

Poem

A rabbit taps logs through the wire,
With traces and metrics climbing higher.
Endpoints align,
Batch timings combine,
While collectors receive what they require.

Add a legacy persisted-settings case without otlpLogsUrl.

packages/shared/src/serverSettings.ts (Lines [97-101]) supplies an undefined fallback when the field is absent. This test document requires otlpLogsUrl, so it cannot represent a settings file created before OTLP logs support. Add a fixture that omits the field and assert that config.bootstrap.otlpLogsUrl is undefined.

Use inferred return types.

TypeScript infers the return types of collapseOtelSignalsUrl and formatOtelSignalList. Remove the explicit return annotations.

As per coding guidelines, use “Inferred types over annotations.”
