Context

#1450 adopted effect 4.0.4's HTTP tracing defaults: spans are named by the bare method (GET, not http.server GET), and no request or response headers are recorded. This PR accepts the new names and brings back the headers worth having.

Change

  • MapleHttpTracingLive (@maple/infra/worker-telemetry) sets TracerHeaderFilter on server and client spans to a short allowlist:
    • request: host, x-forwarded-host, x-forwarded-proto, origin, accept, content-type, content-length, cf-ray, cf-ipcountry, mcp-protocol-version. No client IP: an end user's address on every span is personal data
    • response: content-type, content-length, cf-ray, cf-placement, cf-cache-status, www-authenticate, retry-after, request-id, x-request-id, x-github-request-id, x-slack-req-id, x-clickhouse-query-id, x-clickhouse-exception-code, x-clickhouse-summary, ratelimit*, x-ratelimit-*
  • Wired into WorkerTelemetry (through AlchemyTelemetry.layer, so the bridge's tracer reads it) and eventTelemetry. The three Durable Object runtimes (turn-runner, apply-proposal, chat-bot relay/run) build the SDK through the new runtimeTelemetry, whose layer already carries the allowlist.
  • It's an allowlist, not "everything but a redaction list". Under effect 4.0.1 every header was recorded, and the BYO ClickHouse client's X-ClickHouse-Key (a customer's password) ended up in Maple's own telemetry, because no redaction list named it.
  • The SDK no longer anonymizes a ResponseError that carries a cause or description. That is a failed response write and keeps its own exception (review finding on the earlier version of this PR).

Tests

  • worker-telemetry.test.ts: allowlisted request and response headers are recorded; x-clickhouse-key, authorization and set-cookie are not.
  • electric-sync worker-bridge.test.ts: the server span through alchemy's bridge records an allowlisted header (cf-ray) and neither authorization nor cookie. Fails without the layer.
  • flushable-tracer.test.ts: a write-failure ResponseError carrying a cause, a description, or both stays HttpServerError. This test fails on main.

Done outside the code

  • The three prod alerts that matched http.server names now filter on SpanKind = 'Server' plus attributes. Validated against old data: same counts before the cutover.
  • The 5 "Agent Sessions list latency" widgets now match SpanName IN ('POST', 'http.server POST').

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • HTTP request tracing now captures selected request and response headers, including content type, rate-limit information, and request identifiers, while excluding authorization, cookie, and other sensitive headers.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Failed HTTP response writes are now reported as errors with the appropriate exception details, rather than being represented as ordinary server error responses. Response errors without write-failure details are distinguished from write failures.

Maple review

🟢 Confidence 8/10 · likely safe to merge
The new SDK branch is pinned by a real-error test; production registers the legacy layer through alchemy, which the bridge tests emulate instead of exercising.
quality 100/100 · no findings · tests partial · risk medium

Restores effect 4.0.1 HTTP tracing defaults for Maple's own workers (http.server GET/http.client GET names, header capture) and makes the SDK read a 4.0.4 HttpServerError(ResponseError) 5xx as a rendered one. Safe to merge.

  • LegacyHttpTracingLive reinstates the pre-4.0.4 span names and header capture
  • WorkerTelemetry and eventTelemetry register it; three direct-SDK DO runtimes merge it
  • The SDK treats a failure of only HttpServerError(ResponseError) as a rendered 5xx
  • Bridge tests now build the legacy layer; the warehouse client-span test keys on http.request.method

What was checked
  • A 4xx rendered answer still stays Ok — worker-bridge.test.ts:466 asserts a routed 404 is not Error
  • Redaction is the separate Headers.CurrentRedactedNames reference, which api-observability.ts:42 still sets, so TracerHeaderFilter constTrue does not expose credentials
  • A third AlchemyTelemetry.layer call does not displace the api filter: Telemetry already registers one beside it (alchemy-maple/src/Telemetry.ts:128)

📝 Walkthrough

The PR adds allowlisted HTTP header tracing to worker telemetry and selected AI and chat-bot runtimes. It also narrows response-error matching in the flushable tracer and adds tests for header recording and failed response writes.

Changes: HTTP tracing and server-span error classification

Layer / File(s) Summary
Configure and provide HTTP tracing
packages/infra/src/cloudflare/worker-telemetry.ts, packages/infra/src/cloudflare/worker-telemetry.test.ts, apps/ai/src/chat/apply-proposal.ts, apps/ai/src/chat/turn-runner.ts, apps/chat-bot/src/relay/run.ts, apps/api/src/http/api-observability.ts, apps/electric-sync/src/worker-bridge.test.ts
MapleHttpTracingLive records allowlisted request and response headers. Worker telemetry and the listed runtimes provide the layer. Tests check which headers appear in tracing, and the API observability comment describes the allowlist.
Classify response-write failures
packages/effect-sdk/src/shared/flushable-tracer.ts, packages/effect-sdk/src/shared/flushable-tracer.test.ts
The tracer treats a nested ResponseError as status-only only when its cause and description are absent or undefined. Tests check that a failed response write remains an Error span with an HttpServerError exception.

🟨 PlanetScale webhook signatures enter telemetry

On PlanetScale webhook requests, TracerHeaderFilter captures x-planetscale-signature. ApiObservabilityLive does not redact it, so exported spans retain webhook signatures.

Restrict header capture before exporting spans.

When a request contains a credential in a custom header such as x-internal-session-token, constTrue captures its value. Effect’s default redaction names do not cover arbitrary custom headers. The same risk applies to the client filter on Line 25. Use a header allowlist for the required debugging fields, or configure redaction for every additional sensitive header before enabling capture.

Restores pre-4.0.4 HTTP tracing defaults (names, header capture, redaction) through a shared MapleHttpTracingLive, and keeps the HttpServerErrorResponse marker when effect itself fails a rendered 5xx span. Safe to merge.

  • MapleHttpTracingLive restores http.server … / http.client … names and header capture on every Worker
  • REDACTED_HEADER_NAMES centralizes redaction; ApiObservabilityLive keeps only TracerDisabledWhen
  • The SDK reads a status-only HttpServerError(ResponseError) as a rendered 5xx

effect 4.0.4 records no request or response headers by default. Maple's
Workers now record a short allowlist on server and client spans: host and
forwarding headers (OAuth redirect URIs are built from them), content type
and length, Cloudflare ray/IP/country, and vendor request ids and rate-limit
state. An allowlist rather than everything-but-redacted, because outgoing
requests carry credentials no redaction list knows (a customer's ClickHouse
password goes out as X-ClickHouse-Key, and was recorded under effect 4.0.1).

The SDK no longer anonymizes a ResponseError that carries a cause or

Header allowlist and the narrower 5xx relabel are each pinned by a test that fails without the change; every call site was read and none needs extra wiring.
quality 100/100 · no findings · tests covered · risk medium · 2/2 new units observable

Restores pre-4.0.4 header capture on Maple's Workers with an allowlist header filter, wires it into WorkerTelemetry, eventTelemetry and three Durable Object runtimes, and narrows the 5xx relabel to a status-only ResponseError. Safe to merge.

  • MapleHttpTracingLive records allowlisted request and response headers, never credentials
  • WorkerTelemetry and eventTelemetry merge that layer for every Worker
  • apply-proposal, turn-runner and chat-bot relay/run provide it in their runtimes
  • flushable-tracer relabels only a ResponseError with no cause or description
What was checked
  • Header names are lowercased before the allowlist lookup (worker-telemetry.ts:55), so effect's casing still matches
  • The credential headers a Worker actually sends, x-clickhouse-key and authorization, stay unrecorded (worker-telemetry.test.ts:32)
  • A ResponseError carrying a cause stays its own HttpServerError error, pinned at flushable-tracer.test.ts:289

- Drop cf-connecting-ip: an end user's address on every span is personal

- Record ClickHouse's query id, exception code and summary, vendor request
  ids (request-id, x-github-request-id), www-authenticate, cf-cache-status
  and the request's accept header.
- runtimeTelemetry builds the SDK with the allowlist already in its layer,
  so a Durable Object runtime cannot forget it.
- Effect lowercases header names before the filter, so no toLowerCase.
- Tests: the server span through alchemy's bridge records an allowlisted
  header and no credential; each kind of failed response write keeps its

🟢 Confidence 9/10 · safe to merge
Header capture is a bounded allowlist pinned by tests on both the alchemy bridge and the client path; the tracer fix only narrows when a ResponseError is treated as a rendered 5xx.
quality 100/100 · no findings · tests covered · risk medium

Restores an allowlisted set of HTTP request/response headers on Maple's Worker spans and stops the SDK relabelling a failed response write as a rendered 5xx. Contained to telemetry wiring; safe to merge.

  • MapleHttpTracingLive allowlists the request and response headers recorded on HTTP spans
  • runtimeTelemetry adds the allowlist to the three Durable Object runtimes via telemetry.layer
  • isStatusOnlyResponseError keeps a write-failure ResponseError as its own exception
