+## What This Project Is
+
+**opencode-otel** — an OpenCode npm plugin that forwards runtime stderr logs to any OTLP-compatible log collector via gRPC or HTTP. Business-level observability (session traces, tool calls) is handled separately by opencode-plugin-langfuse; this plugin only ships runtime logs and correlates them to sessions via traceId.
+
+## Commands
+
+```bash
+bun install          # install deps (uses bun.lock)
+bun test             # run all unit tests
+bun run build        # tsup → dist/index.js (ESM + .d.ts)
+```
+
+There is no linter, formatter, or typecheck script configured. The build command is the only verification beyond tests. `prepublishOnly` runs the build automatically.
+
+## Tech Stack
+
+- **TypeScript 5.5+** on **Bun** runtime — not Node
+- **tsup** builds ESM only; configured inline in `package.json` (no tsup.config file)
+- `@opencode-ai/plugin@>=1.1.0` is a **peer dependency** — must be external in builds
+- `tsconfig.json` uses `"noEmit": true` with strict mode; the build is handled entirely by tsup
+- No `.eslintrc`, `.prettierrc`, or `biome.json` exists
+
+## Architecture
+
+```text
+src/index.ts        ← plugin entry, orchestration only (returns {event} hook)
+src/config.ts       ← env vars > otel.json config file > defaults
+src/provider.ts     ← LoggerProvider (gRPC or HTTP) + BasicTracerProvider (gRPC only)
+src/interceptor.ts  ← monkey-patch process.stderr.write, line buffering, severity parsing
+src/session.ts      ← Map<sessionId, Span> for log-to-session trace correlation
+src/shutdown.ts     ← graceful flush on beforeExit/SIGTERM/SIGINT
+src/version.ts      ← reads version from package.json at runtime (never hard-coded)
+```
+
+## Key Constraints
+
+- **Cannot modify OpenCode source** — integration via npm plugin `event` hook only
+- **Monkey-patch `process.stderr.write`** — interceptor has a recursion guard (`inEmit` flag); if emit callback writes to stderr it is silently skipped
+- **Session tracking uses a module-level Map, not AsyncLocalStorage** — `session.ts` tracks the active session via a plain variable (`activeSessionId`); concurrent session interleaving will mis-tag logs
+- **Trace exporter only supports gRPC** — if a non-gRPC traces protocol is configured, trace export is disabled with a warning
+- **Plugin stays inactive** if `OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_LOGS_ENDPOINT` is not set — logs a status message via the app logger but does not install the interceptor
+
+## Config Precedence
+
+For most settings: **env var → otel.json config file → default**
+
+`service.name` has a deeper chain: `OTEL_SERVICE_NAME` → `OTEL_RESOURCE_ATTRIBUTES[service.name]` → `otel.json serviceName` → `PAAS_APP_APPID` → `"opencode-agent"`
+
+Config file default path: `~/.config/opencode/plugins/otel.json` (override with `OTEL_PLUGIN_CONFIG_PATH`). The config file supports `${ENV_VAR}` placeholders.
+
+## Testing
+
+- Tests live in `tests/unit/` — three files covering config, provider, and interceptor
+- Tests manipulate `process.env` directly; they run in Bun's test runner (`bun test`)
+- Provider tests validate the candidate-based resource attribute resolution and BAT runtime metadata backfilling
+- No integration tests, no test services, no fixtures needed
+
+## CI / Publishing
+
+- **publish.yml**: triggered by `v*` tags → `bun install` → `bun test` → `bun run build` → `npm publish` (requires `NPM_TOKEN` secret)
+- Two Claude Code review workflows exist for PR automation (read-only)
+
+## Specs
+
+Design documents are in `specs/`. Key references:
+- `specs/constitution.md` — project principles
+- `specs/010-stderr-log-forwarder/` — current feature spec
+- `specs/011-align-bat-otel/` — BAT OTEL alignment spec
+- Directory-level `CLAUDE.md` files throughout the repo define ownership boundaries for Claude Code sessions
