This pull request introduces client-side tracing and improved logging for the browser, integrating OpenTelemetry with PostHog to enable trace-aware logs and span export. The main changes include adding new dependencies, implementing tracing and logging utilities, and updating the error handling and initialization logic to make use of these features.

Tracing and Logging Integration

• Added initBrowserTracing and startSpan utilities in src/lib/client/tracing.ts to set up OpenTelemetry tracing in the browser, exporting spans to PostHog and enabling trace correlation with logs.
• Implemented captureLog in src/lib/client/logging.ts to emit logs that include trace and span IDs, ensuring logs can be correlated with traces in PostHog.

Dependency Updates

• Added @opentelemetry/exporter-trace-otlp-http and @opentelemetry/sdk-trace-base to package.json to support browser-based tracing and span export.

Error Handling and Initialization Improvements

• Updated src/hooks.client.ts to initialize browser tracing during app startup, enhance error handling by capturing errors as trace-aware logs, and ensure logs and spans are properly emitted when client errors occur. [1] [2]

These changes enable richer observability in the browser by connecting logs and traces, making it easier to diagnose client-side errors and performance issues.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features
  • Browser-side errors are now captured with formatted details and associated tracing information.
  • Structured browser logs can include severity, additional context, and trace identifiers.
  • Browser tracing records spans and exports them for monitoring.
• Bug Fixes
  • Error handling now safely returns when monitoring has not been initialized.

Walkthrough

The client adds browser tracing and structured log capture through PostHog. SvelteKit error handling now captures exceptions, logs formatted error details, and ends an error span when one is available.

Changes: Browser telemetry

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Configure browser tracing package.json, src/lib/client/tracing.ts	Adds trace exporter dependencies and configures browser tracing to export spans to PostHog. Adds span creation and leaves an existing tracer unchanged when initialization runs again.
Capture client errors with trace context src/lib/client/logging.ts, src/hooks.client.ts	Adds log types and captureLog, which includes trace fields when given a span. SvelteKit error handling captures exceptions, starts a client.error span, logs formatted error details, and ends the span when present.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: Low · up to 95082

This PR adds browser tracing and trace-correlated client error logs. One thing to check before relying on it: confirm the PostHog project's Logs console capture setting is disabled, because the code-level false does not override it. Otherwise uncorrelated console output could be sent to PostHog. The risk is low and does not block merging.

Minor · Functional Correctness · Quick win

Confirm project-level console capture stays off, because captureConsoleLogs: false does not block it.

PostHog enables console autocapture through either the init() option or the project's Logs setting. The documentation states that neither switch overrides the other. A project-level enable can therefore capture console output despite the false at line 45. Those records carry no trace or span IDs, and console output can contain sensitive values.

Code cannot enforce this setting. Verify that the Logs console capture setting is disabled for this project, and recheck it after remote configuration refreshes.
