OpenTelemetry in Python

References

FileUse when
`references/declarative-setup.md`Configuring the SDK via declarative YAML (opentelemetry-configuration / opentelemetry.configuration): load_config_file, configure_sdk, file_format, env substitution, OTEL_CONFIG_FILE and programmatic activation.
`references/api.md`Import paths, global API access, tracer/meter/logger usage, attributes, propagation, the Python logging bridge (LoggingHandler).
`references/instrumentation-libraries.md`Zero-code (opentelemetry-distro, opentelemetry-bootstrap, opentelemetry-instrument), the contrib catalog, and manual instrumentation following semconv.
`references/performance.md`Tuning sampling, batch span processor, periodic metric reader, views, asyncio context, exporters, graceful shutdown.
`references/breaking-changes.md`Auditing existing code for deprecated/renamed APIs and semconv changes across recent SDK/contrib releases.
