A trial's OTLP trace is now what gets published, carrying the span tree,
per-call detail and timing that ATIF's turn shape flattens. Runners whose
agent emits no OTLP keep publishing ATIF unchanged, so this adds a path
rather than replacing one.
Evaluation identity is stamped on every span before serializing, not on
resource attributes: Intake merges the layers as `{**resource, **span}`,
so an agent recording its own `gen_ai.conversation.id` would win from the
resource layer and take the session id with it — and the session id is
part of the key Intake's spans table replaces on, so losing it turns a
re-publish into duplicate rows.
The score's target span is read off the payload rather than queried back
after ingest, so the OTLP path drops that round trip. `_resolve_root_span_id`
stays for the ATIF fallback, where span ids are minted inside Intake from
its own identity scheme and cannot be known locally.
Four things the OTLP path has to carry that the agent's spans do not:
* trial token and cost totals, which ATIF sent as `final_metrics`, on the
root span alone so a rollup summing a trace cannot count them per span;
* the trial's error, as span status rather than only as an attribute,
which is what Intake reads to decide a span failed;
* a start time for any span lacking one, because Intake otherwise stores
it against its own ingest clock and re-publish stops replacing;
* a check of the per-span error list ingest returns with its 200, since a
dropped span is otherwise invisible — including the one being scored.

A trial's totals are now read through typed attribute access rather than `getattr` over a table of field names. `TrialMeasurements` lives in the SDK, a package away, so a rename there used to type-check clean here and surface only as a failure in this plugin's tests; it now fails at the point of divergence. The table had one caller and is gone. `_publish_trial` splits into `_publish_otlp` and `_publish_atif`, leaving it to say which path a trial takes and nothing else. `ended_at` and `build_body` move into the ATIF helper, the only caller either one ever had. Both helpers stay nested so the run's configuration stays captured, and both are still called under the concurrency semaphore. `None` from `_publish_otlp` means the trial carried no OTLP trace, never that publishing failed: `otlp_ingest_for_trial` already declines to publish, rather than publishing something unscoreable, when a trace has no usable root span. The docstring described posting the ATIF trajectory as the only path, which has been the fallback since OTLP became primary. Signed-off-by: Sandy Chapman <schapman@nvidia.com>
Intake validates the evaluation on ATIF ingest and on chat-completions ingest, but not on OTLP ingest: `validate_evaluation_context` has exactly two call sites and `ingest_otlp_traces` is neither. Publishing a trial's OTLP trace therefore skipped a check the ATIF path had always made, and the primary path would write spans against an evaluation that was never created or has since been deleted. `publish_to_intake` now resolves the evaluation once, up front, and stops the run with a `PublishError` naming it. Intake's GET rejects a soft-deleted evaluation as well as a missing one, so this covers both cases the server-side check does. It is a client-side guard and reads as one: it cannot bind another OTLP producer, and an evaluation deleted mid-publish still slips through. The job publication path already read the evaluation, because it stamps durations onto the entity afterwards. That read stays and this one is deliberately not folded into it — `publish_to_intake` is public and documents the guarantee, so it cannot assume its caller made the check. The cost is one extra GET per run, not per trial. Enforcing this in Intake's OTLP ingest, alongside ATIF, would cover every producer and close the window; that belongs to the service and changes behaviour for its existing OTLP clients.

Summary
A trial's OTLP trace is now what gets published to Intake, carrying the span tree, per-call detail and timing that ATIF's turn shape flattens. Runners whose agent emits no OTLP keep publishing ATIF exactly as before — this adds a path rather than replacing one.
Stacked on #1717. Review that one first; this PR's diff is only the publish work.

Identity goes on span attributes, not resource attributes. Intake merges the layers as
{**resource, **span}, so an agent recording its owngen_ai.conversation.idwould win from the resource layer and take the session id with it. That id is part of the key Intake'sReplacingMergeTreereplaces on, so losing it turns a re-publish into duplicate rows._resolve_root_span_idstays, for the ATIF path only. ATIF span ids are minted inside Intake viastable_id(workspace, session_id, *identity, "trajectory", prefix="span")and cannot be known locally without replicating that scheme. Deleting it outright would have broken score attachment for exactly the ATIF-only runners this PR keeps supporting. Note this corrects AALGO-569, which justifies removing the round trip with "OTLP span IDs are producer-chosen, so Evaluator already knows the id" — untrue for Harbor, where the agent under test writes the trace. The real reason is that the root span id is readable from the payload we are about to publish.Four things the OTLP path must carry that the agent's spans do not, each found by review rather than by a failing test:
final_metrics. On the root span alone, so a rollup summing across a trace cannot count them once per span.exception.type, a failed trial read as successful._nanos_to_datetime(...) or ingested_at), and start time is in the replace key, so re-publish would insert instead of replacing.Type of Change

publish_to_intakeis an internal publish path with no user-facing configuration or CLI surface; which encoding a trial publishes is a property of what the runner produced, not something a user selects. The user-facing trace-format documentation was updated in #1717.Verification

Intake's ATIF ingest endpoint calls
validate_evaluation_context; its OTLP endpoint has no equivalent. So a nonexistent evaluation name now publishes successfully where the ATIF path would have failed. This PR is the first evaluator caller to exercise that endpoint and so the first to expose the gap, but the fix belongs in Intake alongside its ATIF sibling — a client-side check here would duplicate a server responsibility and need removing later.
