In `@crates/core/src/observability/otel_genai.rs`:
- Around line 433-441: Update the response serialization around finish_reason so
the JSON object omits the finish_reason field when response.finish_reason is
absent, while preserving provider-specific values returned by finish_reason()
for present reasons. Keep the existing role and parts fields unchanged and align
this behavior with gen_ai.response.finish_reasons.
- Around line 474-484: Update the inner match in the outer `other =>` arm of the
ContentPart projection to remove `unreachable!()` and return a neutral kind for
the fallback. Keep explicit handling for ImageUrl, Image, Audio, and File; if
ContentPart is exhaustive, remove the trailing catch-all so future variants are
compiler-detected. Run cargo fmt --all, cargo clippy --workspace --all-targets
-- -D warnings, and just test-rust.
In `@crates/core/tests/unit/observability/otel_tests.rs`:
- Around line 2062-2096: Expand the GenAI projection test currently named
gen_ai_projection_covers_optional_request_controls_and_finish_reasons, or create
a dedicated focused test, to assert assistant tool_calls including
malformed-argument fallback, Message::Tool projection,
ContentPart::ProviderNative projection, one multimodal content part, and
omission of gen_ai.input.messages when messages is empty. Keep the existing
request and response assertions intact while covering these cases through the
relevant projection helpers.
In `@docs/configure-plugins/observability/opentelemetry.mdx`:
- Around line 189-193: Update the OpenTelemetry documentation to describe the
LLM sanitizer hooks register_llm_sanitize_request and
register_llm_sanitize_response, including their Rust _guardrail counterparts,
alongside event sanitizers. Document that gen_ai.input.messages requires request
messages and gen_ai.output.messages requires response content parts or tool
calls, then run just docs.

🧠 Learnings (4)
📓 Common learnings
Learnt from: CR
Repo: NVIDIA/NeMo-Relay
Timestamp: 2026-08-06T18:22:32.794Z
Learning: Keep observability changes scoped, surface assumptions, and define focused validation before editing.
Learnt from: CR
Repo: NVIDIA/NeMo-Relay
Timestamp: 2026-08-06T18:22:32.794Z
Learning: Run affected Rust tests and `just test-rust` for event-field changes; run `just test-python`, `just test-go`, and `just test-node` for binding-native configuration or lifecycle changes; update docs and examples in the same branch.

File: docs/configure-plugins/observability/opentelemetry.mdx:98-113
Timestamp: 2026-07-14T02:53:59.997Z
Learning: In NeMo-Relay’s OpenTelemetry/OpenInference observability projection docs under docs/configure-plugins/observability/, document the projected-attribute contract as follows: (1) emit scalar top-level `data`/`metadata` fields as typed dotted OTLP attributes (for example, `nemo_relay.start.metadata.tenant`); (2) keep nested objects/arrays as JSON strings at their top-level OTLP attribute (rather than expanding them into nested OTLP attributes); and (3) do not reference the legacy `*_json` payload attributes (e.g., `data_json`, `metadata_json`, `input_json`) because they were intentionally removed as a breaking change.

File: crates/pii-redaction/src/rampart/mod.rs:265-274
Timestamp: 2026-08-03T19:55:03.931Z
Learning: In NeMo Relay first-party plugin registration helpers, treat the documented duplicate-registration `PluginError::RegistrationFailed` result from `register_plugin` as success when registration is intended to be idempotent. Do not locally reclassify this as `PluginError::Conflict`; changing the classification requires a core-wide review of the public API and FFI behavior.

Timestamp: 2026-07-28T20:07:29.880Z
Learning: In NeMo Relay (RELAY-509), sanitizer callback failures must be treated as intentional fail-open behavior. When an event/tool (request/response) or LLM (request/response) sanitizer callback fails, the sanitizer chain should retain and publish the last valid event/payload snapshot (rather than dropping/invalidating the data) and log the failure including callback context (e.g., which sanitizer/callback failed and relevant identifiers). Apply this consistently across all sanitizer chains mentioned in the RELAY-509 documentation/migration guide.

- Around line 231-237: Update the GenAI content-capture documentation in the
migration guide and OpenTelemetry reference so it states that gen_ai is an
explicit endpoint type, full remains the default, and message attributes are

last valid payload.

Learning: Use `karpathy-guidelines` alongside this guidance, keep changes scoped, surface assumptions, and define focused validation before editing.

Timestamp: 2026-08-03T19:55:03.931Z
Learning: In NeMo Relay first-party plugin registration helpers, treat the documented duplicate-registration `PluginError::RegistrationFailed` result from `register_plugin` as success when registration is intended to be idempotent. Do not locally reclassify this as `PluginError::Conflict`; changing the classification requires a core-wide review of the public API and FFI behavior.

Learning: In NeMo-Relay’s OpenTelemetry/OpenInference observability projection docs under docs/configure-plugins/observability/, document the projected-attribute contract as follows: (1) emit scalar top-level `data`/`metadata` fields as typed dotted OTLP attributes (for example, `nemo_relay.start.metadata.tenant`); (2) keep nested objects/arrays as JSON strings at their top-level OTLP attribute (rather than expanding them into nested OTLP attributes); and (3) do not reference the legacy `*_json` payload attributes (e.g., `data_json`, `metadata_json`, `input_json`) because they were intentionally removed as a breaking change.

Timestamp: 2026-07-28T20:07:29.880Z
Learning: In NeMo Relay (RELAY-509), sanitizer callback failures must be treated as intentional fail-open behavior. When an event/tool (request/response) or LLM (request/response) sanitizer callback fails, the sanitizer chain should retain and publish the last valid event/payload snapshot (rather than dropping/invalidating the data) and log the failure including callback context (e.g., which sanitizer/callback failed and relevant identifiers). Apply this consistently across all sanitizer chains mentioned in the RELAY-509 documentation/migration guide.

Overview
Expands the GenAI OpenTelemetry projection so traces contain sanitized LLM instructions, prompts, responses, and complete Relay span parentage. It also adds an opt-in policy for retaining complete sanitized request history instead of applying current-turn filtering.
Details
gen_ai.system_instructions,gen_ai.input.messages, andgen_ai.output.messages.tool_callvalue.enable_full_payloadsoption across Rust, Python, Node.js, and Go. It defaults tofalseand is listed last in each configuration for compatibility.The configuration change is additive and retains the existing current-turn filtering behavior by default.
