Conversation
Lore Server documents that it supports metrics, logs, and traces through OpenTelemetry, but there was no reference for which metrics, spans, and attributes it actually exposes. Finding them meant reading source or wiring up a collector and inspecting the output. Add a Reference page cataloging the OpenTelemetry surface, grouped by subsystem: the name-construction scheme, shared context/success attributes, resource attributes, HTTP and gRPC request metrics, the recurring operation_duration pattern, storage, QUIC transport, service counters, runtime metrics, and the traces and sampling model. Link it from the reference index and cross-link the telemetry settings in the server configuration reference. Addresses EpicGames#48 Signed-off-by: Ryan L'Italien <ryanlitalien@gmail.com>

TL;DR
Adds a source-verified, vendor-neutral OpenTelemetry metrics and traces reference page for Lore Server, resolving EpicGames#48. Docs-only, 2 files, DCO-signed. Draft against the fork main for internal review before any upstream submission.
What
Adds a Reference page,
docs/reference/lore-server-metrics.md, that catalogs the OpenTelemetry metrics, spans, and attributes that Lore Server exposes. Also links it from the reference index and cross-links the telemetry settings in the server configuration reference.Why
The docs state that Lore Server supports metrics, logs, and traces through OpenTelemetry, but there was no reference for which ones. Discovering them meant reading source or wiring up a collector and inspecting the output.

urc.*internal instruments can change between releases.Review focus
contextvalues.urc.*internal metrics (Tokio runtime, QUIC internals) should be documented in this depth or trimmed.
