shankar0123 35277c0f2c feat(observability): DEPL-006 — OpenTelemetry seed (surface only; no spans yet)
Acquisition-audit DEPL-006 closure (Sprint 6 ACQ, 2026-05-16).

Pre-2026-05-16, go.mod listed go.opentelemetry.io/otel,
otel/metric, otel/trace, otelhttp, and auto/sdk all as indirect
deps (pulled transitively by AWS / Azure SDKs at v1.41.0). The
SDK was never initialized — the global otel.GetTracerProvider()
returned the SDK noop provider, and certctl emitted zero spans.

This commit stands up the surface so operators with an OTel
collector can opt in via CERTCTL_OTEL_ENABLED=true without code
changes. It does NOT add per-handler / per-query / per-connector
span instrumentation — that's a v2.3 roadmap follow-up. The
DEPL-006 audit finding is closed by the surface being present.

Transport choice: OTLP/HTTP (proto-binary over HTTPS), NOT
OTLP/gRPC. Both are valid OTel transports; downstream collectors
accept either. HTTP keeps certctl's dep surface narrow — gRPC
pulls in google.golang.org/grpc + the full genproto stack, which
would expand binary size + supply-chain attack surface for a
feature that today emits zero spans. Operators with gRPC-only
collectors can run an OTel-collector tee. Swapping to gRPC later
is a single-import change.

=====
- internal/observability/otel.go: new Init function. Gated by
  CERTCTL_OTEL_ENABLED. Builds an OTLP/HTTP exporter, wraps in
  a BatchSpanProcessor, installs as the otel global tracer
  provider, returns shutdown. Disabled-mode returns a no-op
  shutdown so callers defer unconditionally.
- internal/observability/otel_test.go: 3 tests — disabled-mode
  no-op (global tracer provider unchanged), enabled-mode
  registers an SDK tracer provider, OTEL_SERVICE_NAME flows
  through resource.WithFromEnv.
- internal/config/config.go: new ObservabilityConfig sub-config
  with a single OTelEnabled bool. Single env var
  (CERTCTL_OTEL_ENABLED); everything else flows through the
  standard OTEL_* env vars the OTel SDK honors directly via
  resource.WithFromEnv + otlptracehttp.New. Deliberately no
  CERTCTL_OTEL_SERVICE_NAME / CERTCTL_OTEL_ENDPOINT etc. —
  avoids the lying-field footgun where an env var exists in
  config but doesn't reach the consumer.
- cmd/server/main.go: wire observability.Init unconditionally
  near the existing demo / RFC1918 startup banners. The defer'd
  shutdown gets a 5-second timeout so an unreachable collector
  doesn't hang process exit.
- go.mod: promote go.opentelemetry.io/otel + otel/sdk +
  otlptracehttp from indirect → direct (the four pre-existing
  otel deps stay where go mod resolution puts them).
- go.sum: refreshed deps.

The genproto split (newer genproto/googleapis/{api,rpc} submodules
vs the old monolithic genproto module) needed an explicit
google.golang.org/genproto pin to a post-split pseudo-version to
resolve cleanly — included in this commit's go.mod.

Verified locally: gofmt clean, go vet clean, staticcheck clean
across internal/observability + internal/config + cmd/server;
go test -short -count=1 green on all three; `go build ./cmd/server`
produces a 30.9MB binary that boots; targeted tests
(TestInit_Disabled_NoOp / TestInit_Enabled_RegistersTracerProvider /
TestInit_Enabled_RespectsOTEL_SERVICE_NAME) all PASS.
