//! Tracing span capture for rootcause error reports.
//!
//! This crate automatically captures tracing span context when errors occur,
//! helping you understand which operation was being performed.
//!
//! # How It Works
//!
//! You add [`RootcauseLayer`] to your tracing subscriber alongside your
//! existing layers (formatting, filtering, log forwarding, etc.). While your
//! other layers do their work, `RootcauseLayer` quietly captures span field
//! values in the background for use in error reports.
//!
//! # Quick Start
//!
//! ```
//! use rootcause::hooks::Hooks;
//! use rootcause_tracing::{RootcauseLayer, SpanCollector};
//! use tracing_subscriber::{Registry, layer::SubscriberExt};
//!
//! // 1. Set up tracing with RootcauseLayer (required)
//! let subscriber = Registry::default()
//!     .with(RootcauseLayer) // Captures span field values for error reports
//!     .with(tracing_subscriber::fmt::layer()); // Your normal console output
//! tracing::subscriber::set_global_default(subscriber).expect("failed to set subscriber");
//!
//! // 2. Install hook to capture spans for all errors (optional)
//! Hooks::new()
//!     .report_creation_hook(SpanCollector::new())
//!     .install()
//!     .expect("failed to install hooks");
//!
//! // 3. Use normally - spans are captured automatically
//! #[tracing::instrument(fields(user_id = 42))]
//! fn example() -> rootcause::Report {
//!     rootcause::report!("something went wrong")
//! }
//! println!("{}", example());
//! ```
//!
//! Output:
//! ```text
//!  ● something went wrong
//!  ├ src/main.rs:10
//!  ╰ Tracing spans
//!    │ example{user_id=42}
//!    ╰─
//! ```
//!
//! ## Manual Attachment
//!
//! To attach spans selectively instead of automatically:
//!
//! ```
//! use rootcause::{Report, report};
//! use rootcause_tracing::SpanExt;
//!
//! #[tracing::instrument]
//! fn operation() -> Result<(), Report> {
//!     Err(report!("operation failed"))
//! }
//!
//! let result = operation().attach_span();
//! ```
//!
//! **Note:** [`RootcauseLayer`] must be in your subscriber setup either way.
//!
//! # Environment Variables
//!
//! - `ROOTCAUSE_TRACING` - Comma-separated options:
//!   - `leafs` - Only capture tracing spans for leaf errors (errors without
//!     children)
