feat(portal-shell): wire spa-side opentelemetry tracing (#72)
## Summary

Phase 2 of ADR-0012 — closes the loop SPA → BFF → DB. After this PR, a single user action (initial page load, click, form submit) produces one trace whose root span is owned by the SPA and whose child spans cover the BFF request, Postgres queries through Prisma, and (eventually) Redis / downstream-API hops.

## What lands

**Browser-side OTel libs** (production deps):

- `@opentelemetry/sdk-trace-web` — browser tracer + provider
- `@opentelemetry/exporter-trace-otlp-http` — OTLP/HTTP+JSON exporter
- `@opentelemetry/instrumentation` — auto-instrumentation runtime
- `@opentelemetry/instrumentation-fetch` — `fetch` + W3C `traceparent` propagation
- `@opentelemetry/instrumentation-document-load` — initial-paint timings
- `@opentelemetry/instrumentation-user-interaction` — click / keypress / submit

No `@opentelemetry/context-zone`: the workspace is zoneless per ADR-0004; the default `StackContextManager` covers the auto-instrumented paths. Custom spans across `await` will need explicit `context.with(...)` plumbing — fine, encountered as code lands.

**Code**:

- [`apps/portal-shell/src/observability/tracing.ts`](apps/portal-shell/src/observability/tracing.ts) — `WebTracerProvider` bootstrap. Documents the load-order constraint inline (same pattern as the BFF: must be the very first import of `main.ts`, otherwise auto-instrumentations miss everything imported above).
- `apps/portal-shell/src/main.ts` now imports the tracing module as line 1.

**CORS plumbing** for end-to-end trace propagation:

- BFF (`apps/portal-bff/src/main.ts`) calls `enableCors` with a minimal dev allowlist (`http://localhost:4200`) and explicit permission for the W3C `traceparent` / `tracestate` headers. The full security-grade CORS (per-environment allowlists, helmet, cookie-session, CSRF) belongs to the future phase-2 security ADR — this PR adds the strict minimum for the SPA→BFF trace context to survive cross-origin pre-flight.
- OTel Collector (`infra/local/otel-collector.yaml`) gains a `cors` block on its OTLP/HTTP receiver so the browser's own OTLP POST clears its pre-flight.

**ADR-0012 §Confirmation** rewritten: a new "Wired in the SPA foundation PR (phase 2)" block enumerates what landed here; the carry-over "Wired as features land" list drops the SPA-side SDK item and adds a follow-up note about the security-grade CORS.

## Verification

```bash
pnpm exec nx run-many -t lint test build           # 8 projects green
pnpm audit                                          # 0 vulns
./infra/local/dev.sh up observability               # bring up Collector + Jaeger
./infra/local/dev.sh                                # (separately, BFF stack — your choice)
pnpm nx serve portal-bff                           # localhost:3000
pnpm nx serve portal-shell                         # localhost:4200
```

Open http://localhost:4200 → a `document_load` trace appears in http://localhost:16686 with `service.name=portal-shell`. From DevTools, run `fetch('http://localhost:3000/api/health').then(r => r.json())` → a fetch span appears with a child BFF span on the same trace.

## Test plan

- [ ] CI green on this PR.
- [ ] After local up, `document_load` span visible in Jaeger UI for the SPA.
- [ ] Cross-origin fetch from SPA carries `traceparent` (visible in Network tab) and produces a single end-to-end trace SPA → BFF in Jaeger.
- [ ] DevTools console shows no CORS warnings about `traceparent`, `tracestate`, or the `localhost:4318/v1/traces` POST.

Architectural Decision Records

This project records architecturally-significant decisions as ADRs in the MADR 4.0.0 format. References: adr.github.io.

Why ADRs

ADRs capture the why behind a decision — context, drivers, options considered, trade-offs accepted — at the moment the decision is made. They make architecture reviewable, onboarding faster, and prevent the same debate from being re-litigated later.

Conventions

  • Format: MADR 4.0.0. Start from template.md.
  • Filename: NNNN-kebab-case-title.md, e.g. 0007-adopt-tailwind-for-design-tokens.md.
  • Numbering: globally sequential 4-digit prefix. Numbers never reset, never get reused — even when an ADR is superseded or deprecated.
  • Layout: flat folder. ADRs are not nested into category subfolders; topical organization happens via tags.
  • Tags: every ADR carries a tags: array in the MADR frontmatter, drawn from the tag vocabulary below. An ADR may carry several tags. Propose new tags (or renames) in the same PR that needs them; never invent ad-hoc tags inline.
  • Status lifecycle: proposedaccepted → optionally deprecated or superseded by [ADR-NNNN](NNNN-other.md). Update the YAML frontmatter; never delete an ADR.
  • Index maintenance: every ADR addition or status change must update the Index below in the same commit.

When to write an ADR

Write one whenever a development decision is non-trivial: tool or library choice, framework pattern, security control, perf budget, a11y target, naming convention, deprecation, breaking change, or any choice that future contributors would benefit from understanding the why of.

Tag vocabulary

The vocabulary below is the source of truth. It is intentionally coarse — propose extensions only when an existing tag genuinely doesn't fit, and avoid overly narrow tags.

Tag Scope
frontend UI, Angular, components, design system, client-side state
backend API, BFF, server-side services
security AuthN, AuthZ, sessions, CSP, dependency scanning, secret management
performance Perf budgets, caching, bundle size, Lighthouse
accessibility WCAG, a11y testing, keyboard, ARIA, contrast
infrastructure CI/CD, hosting, deployment, runtime
observability Logs, metrics, traces, correlation IDs, monitoring
data Persistence, schemas, migrations, data flow
process Team conventions, workflows, repo policy

Status: starter vocabulary, to be refined as ADRs accumulate. Update this table whenever a tag is added, renamed, or retired.

Index

ADRs are listed in numerical order. To slice by topic, filter on the Tags column.
