Subject: [PATCH] fix: CRITICAL - Add orderBy parameter to find truly oldest
 unprocessed trace
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

## Problem
The findOldestUnprocessedTrace() discovery query was missing the orderBy parameter.
Without explicit ordering, Langfuse API returned traces in default order (likely newest first).

Result:
- Discovery found NEWEST unprocessed trace instead of OLDEST
- Only created 1 time window (today → today)
- Missed ALL historical unprocessed traces
- User reported: "only found a single trace and did not go back in time"

## Root Cause
```typescript
// WRONG - no orderBy, gets newest trace
const response = await this.fetchTraces({
    limit: 1,
    filter: UNPROCESSED_FILTER
    // Missing: orderBy parameter!
})
```

## Fix
Added orderBy: 'timestamp' to get oldest trace first:

```typescript
// CORRECT - explicitly order by timestamp ascending
const response = await this.fetchTraces({
    limit: 1,
    filter: UNPROCESSED_FILTER,
    orderBy: 'timestamp'  // ✅ Gets OLDEST trace
})
```

Also added:
- orderBy parameter to fetchTraces() signature
- Enhanced logging to show discovered trace timestamp
- Comment explaining fallback behavior

## Impact

Before:
- ❌ Found newest trace (e.g., 2025-10-24)
- ❌ Created window: [2025-10-24 → 2025-10-24]
- ❌ Missed years of historical traces

After:
- ✅ Finds oldest trace (e.g., 2024-01-01)
- ✅ Creates windows: [2024-01-01 → 2024-01-31], [2024-02-01 → 2024-02-29], ...
- ✅ Processes complete historical data

## Fallback Safety
If orderBy doesn't work or returns wrong order:
- Still falls back to 2020-01-01 on error
- Ensures complete coverage regardless
