Displacement: align session ingest to OpenInference semantic conventions

From the 2026-06-17 full-fleet displacement scout.

repo-recall's core - the tri-source join (Claude sessions x git working-tree state x gh PR/issue queue, keyed on cwd) - is correctly custom; no OSS models that as one joinable entity. KEEP.

The displaceable edge is the session-INGEST layer. repo-recall parses ~/.claude/projects/**/*.jsonl into a private shape. That narrow act is now standardized:

OpenInference - first-party Arize, OTel-aligned semantic conventions, ships an openinference-instrumentation-claude-agent-sdk instrumentor.
Claude Code also has native OTel now (CLAUDE_CODE_ENABLE_TELEMETRY=1, OTLP exporters).

Action

Adopt the OpenInference CONVENTION for emitted/consumed session spans so the substrate speaks the standard agent-telemetry vocabulary instead of a bespoke JSONL dialect. This unlocks optional Phoenix/Grafana interop downstream (Phoenix MCP is already in the inventory).
This is the same convention lever as otel-a2a-relay#66 - do them coherently.

Keep

The join, the tantivy full-text index, the redb cache - all custom-justified or already OSS libs. WATCH only: ColeMurray/claude-code-otel overlaps the generic dashboard half, not the git-state half.

Closing. The Claude-session observability tree (repo-recall / luca / session-lattice) is retired in the June 2026 surface reduction.
