//! OpenTelemetry (OTLP) network exporter for rlg.
//!
//! Today rlg renders records in `LogFormat::OTLP` shape but only
//! writes them to the configured `PlatformSink` (stdout, file,
//! `os_log`, `journald`). This crate adds an **HTTP exporter** that
//! POSTs OTLP-shaped records to a real collector endpoint —
//! Honeycomb, Datadog, Tempo, Jaeger, or any `otelcol` instance with
//! the OTLP/HTTP receiver enabled.
//!
//! Wire format: **OTLP/HTTP JSON encoding** (`Content-Type:
//! application/json`). Protobuf encoding is on the v0.0.11 roadmap.
//!
//! # Example
//!
//! ```no_run
//! use rlg_otlp::OtlpExporter;
//! use rlg::log::Log;
//! use rlg::log_format::LogFormat;
//!
//! let exporter = OtlpExporter::builder()
//!     .endpoint("https://api.honeycomb.io/v1/logs")
//!     .header("x-honeycomb-team", "<api-key>")
//!     .timeout_secs(10)
//!     .build();
//!
//! let record = Log::error("payment-service down")
//!     .component("orders")
//!     .with("trace_id", "abc")
//!     .format(LogFormat::OTLP);
//!
//! // Synchronous push. Async push is on the roadmap.
//! exporter.export_one(&record).unwrap();
//! ```
