## Summary
- The bundler emits separate chunks for the main app and plugin-sdk, each with
their own module-level singletons. When jiti-loaded extensions import
`onDiagnosticEvent` or `registerLogTransport` from the plugin-sdk chunk, they
subscribe to a different `Set` instance than the one the main app emits into — so
diagnostic events and log transports silently vanish.
- Fix by storing `listeners` and `externalTransports` on `globalThis` via
well-known `Symbol.for()` keys, guaranteeing all chunks share the same instance
regardless of how many times the module is loaded.
- Also fixes the diagnostics-otel extension: migrate deprecated `metricReader` →
`metricReaders` array API, suppress auto-configured logs exporter, and add
structured startup logging.
## Test plan
- [ ] Rebuild container from this branch
- [ ] Verify `diagnostics-otel: SDK started` appears in startup logs
- [ ] Send a message to the bot and confirm traces/metrics appear in otelcol debug
output
- [ ] Verify data reaches OTEL dashboard (traces, metrics, logs)
- [ ] Confirm no `The 'metricReader' option is deprecated` warning in logs
## AI Disclosure
Built with Claude Code (Opus 4.6). Tested — verified running (otelcol received traces and metrics), and ran `pnpm build &&
pnpm check && pnpm test`.

<h3>Greptile Summary</h3>
This PR fixes a real and well-understood bug: the bundler emits separate chunks for the main app and plugin-sdk, each with their own module-level singletons. Extensions loaded via `jiti` subscribe to different `Set` instances than the main app emits into, silently dropping diagnostic events and log transports. The fix stores both singletons on `globalThis` via `Symbol.for()` keys, following the existing pattern already used in `src/web/test-helpers.ts`. It also updates the `diagnostics-otel` extension: migrates the deprecated `metricReader` → `metricReaders` array API, adds error handling around `sdk.start()`, adds structured startup logging, and suppresses auto-configured OTEL logs exporters.
**Key findings:**
- **Critical (test breakage):** The `@opentelemetry/api` mock in `service.test.ts` (line 34–44) does not include `diag`, `DiagConsoleLogger`, or `DiagLogLevel`, which are now imported and used unconditionally on line 51 of `service.ts`. This will cause a `TypeError` when the test runs `service.start()`, breaking the existing test suite.
- `diag.setLogger(...)` is called before the `!cfg?.enabled || !otel?.enabled` early-return guard, meaning it sets a process-global OTel diagnostic logger even when the extension is disabled. This is a minor concern but worth noting.
- `process.env.OTEL_LOGS_EXPORTER = "none"` is set as a permanent process-global side effect inside `start()` and is never cleared in `stop()`. It is also only set when `tracesEnabled || metricsEnabled`, so it has no effect when logs-only mode is used.
- The `globalThis` singleton pattern for `listeners` and `externalTransports` is correct and matches existing codebase patterns. Test isolation via `resetDiagnosticEventsForTest()` is preserved.
<h3>Confidence Score: 3/5</h3>
- The core fix is sound, but the PR breaks the existing test suite due to an incomplete mock update in service.test.ts.
- The `globalThis` singleton approach for both `listeners` and `externalTransports` is correct, well-precedented in the codebase, and solves the described cross-chunk isolation problem. The `diagnostics-otel` service improvements (deprecated API migration, error handling, startup logging) are straightforward improvements. However, the test mock for `@opentelemetry/api` in `service.test.ts` was not updated to include the newly-imported `diag`, `DiagConsoleLogger`, and `DiagLogLevel`. Since `vi.mock` replaces the entire module, these will be `undefined` and `diag.setLogger()` will throw a TypeError, causing the test to fail. The PR description states `pnpm test` was run successfully, but this test failure should have surfaced — worth double-checking before merge.
- Pay close attention to `extensions/diagnostics-otel/src/service.test.ts` — the `@opentelemetry/api` mock needs to be updated to include `diag`, `DiagConsoleLogger`, and `DiagLogLevel`.
