Start in dotnet/src/Telemetry.cs at RestoreTraceContext and trace how the created Activity becomes the parent for tool activities. Compare that behavior with the ActivitySource and github.copilot source details mentioned in the issue, then verify that the resulting trace tree preserves the external_tool parent and sampled child spans when switching between SDK and CLI.

Descrizione

bug

We are using Copilot SDK for .NET and it seems like the thinking behind RestoreTraceContext (this) is not entirely correct. It creates a new Activity without the ActivitySource, which, indeed, prevents it from being sampled, but it still carries its own id (span id), which is then used as a parent span id for all children activities. So in the trace tree (In Grafana, for example) we see unparented spans from the tool implementations, which I think should be parented under external_tool spans from the Copilot CLI:

the GET span (id d2c10abb001cb97a) has parent span id set to cabcf362cbf15a7a (which is nowhere to be found), where as external_tool span has an id of 2cd84acd8fb4e994. So, I think, the tree is:

external_tool (2cd84acd8fb4e994, from CLI)
 \ copilot.tool_handler (cabcf362cbf15a7a, from SDK) <--- "invisible activity"
    \ GET (d2c10abb001cb97a, from our tool code)

Why don't we just emit this span properly from ActivitySource (maybe matching SourceName/default github.copilot)?

I also think a similar problem exists in the CLI itself, because transitioning from SDK to CLI also leaves all "top-level" CLI spans unparented. CLI code doesn't seem to be open source, so I can't confirm, but my gut feeling is that a similar approach was used there in CLI, where it creates one span and doesn't attach it to a source that is being sampled/exported, so it never gets collected, leaving all other CLI spans unparented. 😞
