docs(operations): correct the agent telemetry and trailer contract - #101
Conversation
Agent runs never read the shared ~/.claude/settings.json env block, so the identity-independent OTEL vars documented there reached no agent at all - the per-agent ingest header alone neither enables telemetry nor names an endpoint, and cotel recorded zero agent sessions for 28 days. Document that those five vars belong in the Paperclip environment record's env_vars, and add the read-only check that tells a fleet-wide outage apart from one dark agent. Also drop the Paperclip co-author trailer, now prohibited by board order, and fill in the roster additions to the canonical identity table.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The new telemetry diagnostic can incorrectly identify active agents as non-reporting when session volume exceeds 500, leading to incorrect operational remediation. The documentation also contains a Markdown lint violation that should be corrected before merge. 🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 5✅ Passed checks (5 passed)

Add a language to this fenced block.
The opening fence has no language. Use text or another suitable language so the documentation passes MD040.

Handle pagination before treating a missing user_id as evidence.
GET /api/v1/sessions?limit=500 returns page 1 only, ordered by start_time descending. If total exceeds limit, an agent can be absent from the response while still reporting. Iterate pages using total, page, and limit before classifying an agent as dark.
