Outcome of a whole-stack review with the kit visible as one system:
- otel_reset: an autouse fixture draining the span exporter and metric
reader after every test. Without it a large suite accumulates hundreds
of thousands of recorded spans in the session-scoped exporter - the
likeliest amplifier of the slow-runner CI flakes - and plugins would
inherit the same leak.
- assert_registry_covered renamed to assert_spans_covered: the old name
read as covering the whole registry, which is exactly wrong next to
assert_metrics_covered. Public API is forever; renamed before anything
ships, no alias.
- The installers now verify their provider actually took: with a
provider installed first (opentelemetry-instrument, an embedding app),
set_*_provider() is silently ignored, and fixtures would assert
against an exporter wired to nothing. They skip clearly instead.
- UPDOWN_COUNTER registry kind, mapped to Sum with monotonicity checked
both ways - a Counter must collect monotonic, an UpDownCounter must
not. Previously an UpDownCounter's kind check was silently skipped.
- The docs page now prescribes naming: scope = import package name
(underscores), signal prefix = a name you own, never bare datasette.*;
its own examples no longer teach the hyphenated outlier. Plus an
observable-gauges pattern section and a prefix-overlap note.
- assert_no_forbidden_values(): the enforcement half of the privacy
rules - plant sentinel secrets in a workload and assert they never
appear in any span name, attribute, event, status description or
metric attribute, across all scopes by default.

test_kit_module_itself_never_imports_the_sdk shells out, and like every
subprocess-spawning test in this suite it crashes the interpreter with
SIGBUS on macOS/CPython 3.13 when it runs late enough that the process
holds many threads - the exact failure conftest already front-loads
test_datasette_package_never_imports_the_sdk for. Move it to the front
too, and note the hazard in assert_package_never_imports_sdk's docstring
since plugin suites will call it.

A survey of five plugin OTel plans (datasette-paper, -agent, -litestream,
-accounts, -cron) found every one hand-copying the same core machinery:
the registry classes, the conformance-test harness, the pytest fixtures,
the bucket boundaries and the detached-root-with-Link recipe. This makes
that machinery importable instead:
- The registry classes are documented public API. Attribute gains
values= (a closed enum the conformance helpers enforce - what makes an
attribute safe as a metric dimension); SpanName gains prefix=True for
span families like "chat {model}" whose names share a fixed prefix,
matched by span_for() after exact names. span_for()/attribute helpers
accept a spans= tuple so plugin registries can use them.
- datasette.telemetry.linked_root_span_kwargs(): the root-span-with-Link
shape for work a request caused without containing - background jobs,
scheduled ticks, block=False writes. Core's own write thread now uses
it instead of building the kwargs inline.
- datasette.telemetry_testing: the session provider fixtures, otel_spans
/ otel_metrics, a two-way registry conformance checker (including enum
and prefix handling, filtered by instrumentation scope) and an
assert_package_never_imports_sdk() guard. Core's conftest now imports
these instead of defining them, so the suite consumes the kit exactly
as a plugin's would.
- New "Telemetry for plugin authors" docs page: scope discipline,
registry usage, privacy/cardinality rules, named-callable guidance,
request_span(), the background root-with-link convention (one root per
tick, always emitted), provider-ordering facts and known caveats.
request_span() is now documented public API.

- The exemplars docs described "the pinned opentelemetry-exporter-prometheus"
and "Datasette's own Prometheus exporter" - context from demo/plugin work
that is no longer part of this stack. Reworded to stand alone.
- Saturate a num_sql_threads=1 pool and assert the queue-depth gauge reads
above zero - the headline alerting metric previously only had an absence
test, and this also pins the private ThreadPoolExecutor._work_queue
attribute it depends on.
- Pin error.type on the write path of db.client.operation.duration - the
write wrappers time a different code path than the read one already tested.
- Isolate the non-threaded-mode gauge test from other live instances instead
of comparing global observation counts, which a GC pass could shift.
- Halve the metrics banner, point conftest's meter note at it, compact the
interrupted-counter call-site comment to a registry pointer, note why
instrument and registry descriptions are separate strings, and stop
calling the metric dimension a "later phase" now that metrics shipped.

Spans describe requests that have finished. They structurally cannot answer
"am I saturating my 3 SQL threads right now", because that is a level rather
than an event - and with num_sql_threads defaulting to 3, it is usually the
first thing worth knowing about a busy Datasette. This adds the metrics that
answer it.
Five observable gauges, computed only when something is collecting, so an
instance with no MeterProvider installed does no work for them at all:
datasette.sql.threads.limit num_sql_threads
datasette.sql.threads.queue_depth queries waiting for a free thread
datasette.sql.queries.pending in-flight reads, by db.namespace
datasette.write.queue_depth writes behind the single write thread
datasette.connections.open tracked file connections
Three instruments recorded inline, which matters because metrics survive
trace sampling and spans do not - an operator sampling 1% of traces still
gets 100% of the latency distribution:
db.client.operation.duration semconv histogram, with error.type
datasette.write.queue_wait the metric twin of the existing span
datasette.sql.queries.interrupted sql_time_limit_ms kills
The interrupted counter closes a gap the plan called out as unanswerable:
"how often are we killing queries at the limit" is a rate, and a rate cannot
be recovered from sampled spans.
Core still creates no provider of any kind, so the architecture is unchanged;
`grep -rn 'opentelemetry.sdk' datasette/` stays empty. One real difference
from tracing is worth recording: _ProxyMeter and its instruments forward to a
provider installed after they were created, whereas ProxyTracer permanently
caches the first concrete tracer it resolves. Module-level instruments are
therefore safe and the test fixture has no ordering constraint.
Live instances are tracked in a lock-guarded WeakSet so instrumenting an
instance never keeps it alive. The pool gauges carry no attribute saying
which Datasette produced them: production runs one instance per process, and
adding an id to disambiguate the test suite's hundreds of instances would buy
unbounded attribute cardinality to fix a case that does not occur. The
collision is documented instead, and the gauge callbacks are plain generator
functions so tests can assert exact values by calling them directly rather
than through the SDK's last-value aggregation.
demos/otel/metrics_demo.py fires 12 concurrent 40ms queries at a 3-thread
pool and samples the gauges mid-flight: queue_depth peaks at exactly 9, and
the duration histogram reads max=0.1695s for a query whose work is 40ms. That
gap is the queue, and it is the thing traces alone will not show you.
Also corrects the demo README's privacy section, which still claimed
parameter values are never recorded - that stopped being unconditionally true
when trace_sql_parameters landed.

(cherry picked from 6ef0dd8c and adapted to the rebuilt phase-1 stack:
attribute names now come from telemetry_registry where entries exist, the
meter carries the instrumentation-scope version and schema URL, and the
interrupted-queries counter skips expected timeouts - callers that opted
into a deliberately short budget, like facet suggestion - matching how
those are excluded from span error status. The internals.rst reference
lands with the registry commit that follows.)

ds_client already caches a single Datasette for the whole session via a
module-level _ds_client global, so the declared fixture scope should
match. With function scope the auto-close plugin correctly closes it
after the first test that uses it, which then breaks every subsequent
test that reuses the cached (now-closed) instance — as seen in the CI
coverage job, which runs serially rather than under pytest-xdist.

- Upgrade guide now describes the CSRF change.
Simplified Action by moving takes_child/takes_parent logic to Resource
- Removed InstanceResource - global actions are now simply those with resource_class=None
- Resource.parent_class - Replaced parent_name: str with parent_class: type[Resource] | None for direct class references
- Simplified Action dataclass - No more redundant fields, everything is derived from the Resource class structure

Closes#2563
* Ported setup.py to pyproject.toml, refs #2553
* Make fixtures tests less flaky
The in-memory fixtures table was being shared between different
instances of the test client, leading to occasional errors when
running the full test suite.
This fixes issues introduced by the ruff commit e57f391a which converted
Optional[x] to x | None:
- Fixed datasette/app.py line 1024: Dict[id | str, Dict] -> Dict[int | str, Dict]
(was using id built-in function instead of int type)
- Fixed datasette/app.py line 1074: Optional["Resource"] -> "Resource" | None
- Added 'from __future__ import annotations' for Python 3.10 compatibility
- Added TYPE_CHECKING blocks to avoid circular imports
- Removed dead code (unused variable assignments) from cli.py and views
- Removed unused imports flagged by ruff across multiple files
- Fixed test fixtures: moved app_client fixture imports to conftest.py
(fixed 71 test errors caused by fixtures not being registered)

In some cases pathlib.Path.open were used in context manager,
it is basically the same as builtin open.
