`code.nochebuena.dev/einherjar/telemetry` is the OpenTelemetry bootstrap component of the Einherjar framework. It initializes traces, metrics, and structured logs via OTLP over gRPC — vendor-neutral, compatible with Grafana, Jaeger, Tempo, Datadog, and Honeycomb. A console mode is available for local development without a collector.

Telemetry is **not** a `lifecycle.Component`. It must be initialized before the launcher and shut down after all components stop — the returned shutdown function handles this cleanly with a `defer`.

## Usage

### Production (OTLP/gRPC)

```go
import (
    "code.nochebuena.dev/einherjar/telemetry"
    "code.nochebuena.dev/einherjar/core/launcher"
    "code.nochebuena.dev/einherjar/core/logz"
)

ctx := context.Background()
logger := logz.New(logz.Config{JSON: true})

// Initialize telemetry BEFORE the launcher.
// Defer the shutdown BEFORE launcher.Run() so it fires after the launcher stops.
shutdown, err := telemetry.New(ctx, telemetry.DefaultConfig())
if err != nil {
    logger.Error("telemetry init failed", err)
    os.Exit(1)
}
defer shutdown(ctx)

lc := launcher.New(logger)
lc.Append(db, cache, srv)
lc.Run()
```

### Development (console / structured log output)

No collector required. Spans and metrics are emitted to the configured `logging.Logger`.

```go
shutdown, err := telemetry.NewConsole(ctx, logger, telemetry.DefaultConsoleConfig())
if err != nil {
    logger.Error("telemetry init failed", err)
    os.Exit(1)
}
defer shutdown(ctx)
```
