+# vsp-otel — Python operational layer (`vsp_otel`)
+
+**Verifiable Span Provenance via OpenTelemetry.** This is the *operational* OTel
+layer for the SZL mesh. It closes the honest gap left by the in-process TypeScript
+exporter: organs could Λ-sign spans **in-process**, but there was **no real OTLP
+wire export and no cross-pod broker**. `vsp_otel` ships:
+
+- a **real OTLP/gRPC span exporter** (`opentelemetry-exporter-otlp-proto-grpc`) wired to an OpenTelemetry Collector,
+- a **DSSE-aware span processor** that binds every span into the **Khipu** receipt chain (each span carries `szl.mesh.receipt_hash`; the receipt is DSSE-bound), with an optional `szl.mesh.rekor_log_index` transparency attribute,
+- a **drop-in middleware** (`vsp_otel.middleware.install(app)`) any organ imports,
+- a **cross-pod collector config** (`deploy/otel-collector-config.yaml`) that receives from N organs and exports to Jaeger + Tempo + a SZL custom Khipu exporter.
+
+> This `README-python.md` documents the Python layer. The repo's root `README.md`
+> is a historical MOVED-redirect; the Python layer lives under `src/vsp_otel/`.
+
+## Quick start
+
+```bash
+pip install -e ".[test]"        # editable install + test extras
+pytest -q                        # runs the suite incl. a real in-process OTLP/gRPC round-trip
+```
+
+In an organ's `serve.py`:
+
+```python
+import vsp_otel.middleware
+status = vsp_otel.middleware.install(app)   # FastAPI/ASGI app
+print(status.as_dict())                      # honest report of what was wired
+```
+
+Point organs at the collector via the standard env var:
+
+```bash
+export OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT=http://otel-collector:4317
+```
+
+## Architecture
+
+```
+ organ(s) ──OTLP/gRPC──▶ OTel Collector ──▶ Jaeger (UI)
+   │  DSSEKhipuSpanProcessor              ├▶ Tempo (store)
+   │  (receipt_hash, DSSE envelope,       └▶ SZL Khipu exporter (DSSE receipts)
+   │   Khipu hash-chain, rekor index)
+   └─ BatchSpanProcessor → VSPSpanExporter (Welford fan-out variance)
+```
+
+See [`ARCH.md`](ARCH.md) (in the squad workspace) for the full spec, including the
+**DSSE v1 PAE** contract and the formula tie-ins.
+
+## Formula tie-ins (honest)
+
+- **Welford** online variance — `exporter.Welford` tracks the variance of **trace fan-out** (spans per export batch) without retaining samples. Live and tested.
+- **PAC-Bayes confidence bound** on aggregated span coverage — *roadmap*: the bound is specified in `ARCH.md`; the runtime currently emits the inputs (coverage counts) but does not yet compute the closed-form bound.
+- **Holevo bound** on a quantum-resistant channel — *roadmap/honest gap*: documented as the capacity ceiling for a future PQ-encrypted OTLP channel; **not** implemented in code.
+
+## Honest gaps (read before claiming anything)
+
+1. **Signer.** The default DSSE signer is a deterministic **HMAC test signer** so the chain is testable offline. It is **NOT** a cosign/ECDSA signature. Production must inject a real signer via `VSPConfig(signer=...)` (the mesh's `szl_dsse` provides one). When no production key is present we keep an honest HMAC marker — we never claim a cosign signature we did not make.
+2. **Rekor inclusion.** `szl.mesh.rekor_log_index` is stamped **only** when a `rekor_submit` callable is configured. Absent that, the attribute is **omitted** — we never fabricate a transparency-log index.
+3. **Custom Khipu collector exporter.** The collector pipeline shape is real, but the `szl/khipu` custom exporter requires an `ocb`-built binary; until published, route to the `debug` exporter (the config ships commented + a working `debug` fallback).
+4. **Docker integration test is opt-in.** `tests/test_integration.py` does a **real in-process OTLP/gRPC round-trip by default** (no Docker). The real-collector-**container** path is gated behind `VSP_OTEL_IT_DOCKER=1` and runs in CI (GitHub Actions has Docker).
+5. **PAC-Bayes / Holevo** are specified, not yet computed in code (see above).

+
+## Restored collector contract
+
+The maintained `collector/` service accepts **OTLP/HTTP JSON** on `/v1/traces`.
+Its protocol is `application/json`; a default protobuf/gRPC exporter must use an
+appropriate bridge or the separate `src/vsp_otel` library. The HTTP collector
+returns 415 for protobuf instead of claiming unsupported interoperability.
+
+- Configure `VSP_FORWARD_ENDPOINT` with the downstream OTLP/HTTP JSON endpoint
+  and `VSP_SIGN_KEY_PEM` with an operator-managed ECDSA P-256 private key.
+  In Kubernetes use `signing.existingSecret` with key `signing.pem`; never commit
+  private key material. Keyless signing is **not implemented**.
+- `/healthz` reports process liveness. `/readyz` returns 503 until the downstream
+  endpoint and signing key are configured. Its 200 `CONFIGURED` status establishes
+  configuration, with the last delivery attempt reported separately; it does not
+  prove downstream availability or deployed source identity.
+- Missing, nonfinite, boolean, or out-of-range governance axes fail closed.
+  Clients supply axis evidence; aggregation does not independently establish it.
+- Every forwarded span carries `szl.dsse.receipt`: the complete verifiable DSSE
+  envelope. Its subject digest binds the original span, resource and scope through
+  [RFC 8785 JSON Canonicalization Scheme](https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc8785)
+  encoding of `{trace_id, span_id, name, span, resource, scope}`. New receipts use
+  predicate type `https://szlholdings.ai/attestations/lambda-gate/v2` and declare
+  `subject_canonicalization: "RFC8785"`; historical v1 subjects used Python JSON
+  serialization and must not be interpreted as v2. The original
+  span excludes collector-added verdict and receipt attributes. Consumers must
+  verify the PAE signature against their configured trusted P-256 public key and
+  recompute this digest; a receipt hash alone is not signature verification.
+- A downstream transport error returns 503 so the caller can retry. Partial
+  governance/downstream rejections return per-request OTLP `rejectedSpans` counts.
+  The service has no durable queue or exactly-once guarantee; a lost downstream
+  acknowledgement can cause a duplicate on retry. There is no silent acceptance
+  when forwarding is unavailable.
+
+Run the bounded collector checks with
+`python -m pytest tests/test_collector.py tests/test_collector_delivery.py -q`.
+They use a real loopback downstream fixture and independently verify the receipt
+signature and input digest. Hosted CI, publication, cluster deployment and a live
+estate trace require their own evidence.
+

+
+`vsp-otel` is an **OTLP/HTTP JSON collector exporter shim**. A compatible JSON sender
+can target the collector endpoint. For every span it
+computes a governance Λ, rejects spans below the floor, DSSE-signs the survivors, and
+forwards them to your existing backend (Tempo / Jaeger / any OTLP collector).
+
+```
+ your app  ──OTLP──▶  vsp-otel  ──(Λ ≥ 0.90, DSSE-signed)──▶  Tempo / Jaeger
+ (any lang, OTel SDK)   :4318
+```
+
+## Make it real — what landed
+
+- **`collector/`** — a deployable OTLP/HTTP collector exporter shim (FastAPI, with a
+  stdlib HTTP fallback that still requires the pinned `rfc8785` package):
+  - **`lambda_gate.py`** — Λ over span A1–A5 axes; **`LAMBDA_FLOOR = 0.90`** (the
+    a11oy doctrine constant); fail-closed rejection.
+  - **`dsse.py`** — DSSE in-toto attestation per accepted span (ECDSA P-256 /
+    HMAC for direct local tests only; configured P-256 for HTTP ingestion).
+  - **`stats.py`** — **Welford** online mean/variance for span latency +
+    **HyperLogLog** for unique-trace cardinality.
+  - **`app.py`** — `/v1/traces` (OTLP ingest), `/healthz`, `/metrics` (Prometheus).
+- **`Dockerfile`** — per-file `COPY` only (doctrine §build), non-root, SLSA L1 honest (no L2 provenance workflow present).
+- **`deploy/helm/vsp-otel/`** — Helm chart (`helm lint` clean); 2 replicas, security
+  context, optional ServiceMonitor, configurable floor + forward endpoint.
+- **`docs/INTEGRATION.md`** — "your existing OTel SDK already works — just point the
+  exporter at vsp-otel."
+- **`tests/`** — 9 tests: Λ-gate accept/reject, Welford exactness, HLL cardinality,
+  DSSE shape, full OTLP pipeline. All passing.
+
+The pre-existing TypeScript runtime (`runtime/`) — the in-process `signSpan` exporter
+and its anchor-formula injection — is unchanged and remains the library form; the new
+`collector/` is the standalone deployable form.
+
+```bash
+pip install -r collector/requirements.txt
+pytest tests/ -v                                  # 9 passed
+uvicorn collector.app:app --port 4318             # run the shim
+curl localhost:4318/healthz                        # {"status":"ok","lambda_floor":0.9}
+```
+
+## Verified live (make-real strike, 2026-06-03)
+
+Posting two spans (one with A1–A5 = 0.97, one with A1 = 0.4) to a running instance:
+
+```json
+{"received":2,"accepted":1,"rejected":1,"lambda_floor":0.9,
+ "unique_traces_est":2,"latency_ms":{"count":2,"mean":3.5,"variance":4.5,"stddev":2.12}}
+```
+
+The high-Λ span passed and was DSSE-signed; the low-A1 span was rejected by the
+geometric-mean gate. `/metrics` exposed `vsp_spans_total`, `vsp_lambda_floor`,
+`vsp_span_latency_ms_mean`, `vsp_unique_traces_estimate`.

+# vsp-otel — Python operational layer (`vsp_otel`)
+
+**Verifiable Span Provenance via OpenTelemetry.** This is the *operational* OTel
+layer for the SZL mesh. It closes the honest gap left by the in-process TypeScript
+exporter: organs could Λ-sign spans **in-process**, but there was **no real OTLP
+wire export and no cross-pod broker**. `vsp_otel` ships:
+
+- a **real OTLP/gRPC span exporter** (`opentelemetry-exporter-otlp-proto-grpc`) wired to an OpenTelemetry Collector,
+- a **DSSE-aware span processor** that binds every span into the **Khipu** receipt chain (each span carries `szl.mesh.receipt_hash`; the receipt is DSSE-bound), with an optional `szl.mesh.rekor_log_index` transparency attribute,
+- a **drop-in middleware** (`vsp_otel.middleware.install(app)`) any organ imports,
+- a **cross-pod collector config** (`deploy/otel-collector-config.yaml`) that receives from N organs and exports to Jaeger + Tempo + a SZL custom Khipu exporter.
+
+> This `README-python.md` documents the Python layer. The repo's root `README.md`
+> is a historical MOVED-redirect; the Python layer lives under `src/vsp_otel/`.
+
+## Quick start
+
+```bash
+pip install -e ".[test]"        # editable install + test extras
+pytest -q                        # runs the suite incl. a real in-process OTLP/gRPC round-trip
+```
+
+In an organ's `serve.py`:
+
+```python
+import vsp_otel.middleware
+status = vsp_otel.middleware.install(app)   # FastAPI/ASGI app
+print(status.as_dict())                      # honest report of what was wired
+```
+
+Point organs at the collector via the standard env var:
+
+```bash
+export OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT=http://otel-collector:4317
+```
+
+## Architecture
+
+```
+ organ(s) ──OTLP/gRPC──▶ OTel Collector ──▶ Jaeger (UI)
+   │  DSSEKhipuSpanProcessor              ├▶ Tempo (store)
+   │  (receipt_hash, DSSE envelope,       └▶ SZL Khipu exporter (DSSE receipts)
+   │   Khipu hash-chain, rekor index)
+   └─ BatchSpanProcessor → VSPSpanExporter (Welford fan-out variance)
+```
+
+See [`ARCH.md`](ARCH.md) (in the squad workspace) for the full spec, including the
+**DSSE v1 PAE** contract and the formula tie-ins.
+
+## Formula tie-ins (honest)
+
+- **Welford** online variance — `exporter.Welford` tracks the variance of **trace fan-out** (spans per export batch) without retaining samples. Live and tested.
+- **PAC-Bayes confidence bound** on aggregated span coverage — *roadmap*: the bound is specified in `ARCH.md`; the runtime currently emits the inputs (coverage counts) but does not yet compute the closed-form bound.
+- **Holevo bound** on a quantum-resistant channel — *roadmap/honest gap*: documented as the capacity ceiling for a future PQ-encrypted OTLP channel; **not** implemented in code.
+
+## Honest gaps (read before claiming anything)
+
+1. **Signer.** The default DSSE signer is a deterministic **HMAC test signer** so the chain is testable offline. It is **NOT** a cosign/ECDSA signature. Production must inject a real signer via `VSPConfig(signer=...)` (the mesh's `szl_dsse` provides one). When no production key is present we keep an honest HMAC marker — we never claim a cosign signature we did not make.
+2. **Rekor inclusion.** `szl.mesh.rekor_log_index` is stamped **only** when a `rekor_submit` callable is configured. Absent that, the attribute is **omitted** — we never fabricate a transparency-log index.
+3. **Custom Khipu collector exporter.** The collector pipeline shape is real, but the `szl/khipu` custom exporter requires an `ocb`-built binary; until published, route to the `debug` exporter (the config ships commented + a working `debug` fallback).
+4. **Docker integration test is opt-in.** `tests/test_integration.py` does a **real in-process OTLP/gRPC round-trip by default** (no Docker). The real-collector-**container** path is gated behind `VSP_OTEL_IT_DOCKER=1` and runs in CI (GitHub Actions has Docker).
+5. **PAC-Bayes / Holevo** are specified, not yet computed in code (see above).
