Problem

Ward emits a literal per-run friction report in the drained meta.json.friction field, but it stays on the host filesystem. No current code sends those events to SigNoz.

Ward previously shipped full console and transcript data through a selectable SigNoz sink, then explicitly deferred that path on 2026-07-09 because of content and locality risk. The current release hard-codes the drain sink to disk. This issue must not revive full-log or transcript export.

Change

Add a narrow, vendor-neutral OTLP log exporter for the already secret-free structured friction events.
Keep the disk archive and meta.json as the durable producer contract. Export out of band so collector downtime never blocks or loses a completed run.
Use an idempotent watermark or receipt ledger so repeated shipper runs do not duplicate accepted events and failed delivery remains retryable.
Export stable correlation dimensions: run/container, repo, issue, role, harness/driver, workflow, Ward version, and timestamps when available.
Export event fields: stage, category, severity, confidence, fingerprint, and bounded redacted evidence.
Never export console lines, transcript bodies, prompts, tool bodies, opaque identifiers, credentials, or unbounded args through this path.
Provide a native command suitable for a timer or service, with an explicit OTLP endpoint and a dry-run mode. Unset endpoint must fail soft while preserving pending records.
Keep this path independent of ward ops, ward-kdl, Aguard, and any SigNoz API credential. OTLP is the only integration contract.
Correct documentation that implies an existing agent-run SigNoz envelope when only local artifacts ship today. Update docs/FEATURES.md.

Acceptance

A synthetic drained meta.json with two friction events produces two bounded OTLP log records with stable fingerprints and run correlation fields.
A second shipper pass produces no duplicates after acknowledged delivery.
Collector refusal or timeout leaves the events retryable and does not fail the Ward run or drain.
A clean run with no friction field emits nothing.
Tests inspect the serialized OTLP payload and prove console/transcript/body content is absent.
The existing WARD_AGENT_SINK compatibility spellings still resolve to disk.
No generated operator surface is required at runtime.
Ward validation and pre-commit pass.

Downstream

Infrastructure will separately converge the shipper and SigNoz view on native operator hosts.

Closing as premature external telemetry integration. Rewritten #1618 defines the v1 Ward-owned observability contract for detached broker work through durable local state and machine-readable commands.
