Coordinate with https://github.com/lost-rob0t/starintel-server/issues/128.

Add optional operator-controlled OTLP observability to the StarIntel Discord operations tool.

Optional init/config observability block; default OFF/no exporter/no observability network traffic.
No required OpenObserve/collector for normal operation.
Instrument command/job lifecycle, StarIntel API/broker calls, Discord API latency/status, retries/rate limits, and errors using safe bounded metadata.
Never export Discord tokens, message contents, private channel data, command arguments containing investigation data, credentials, or StarIntel document bodies by default.
Exporter auth comes from env/secret references.
Exporter failure is non-fatal and cannot change operations/control semantics.
Tests cover disabled zero-network, configured export, and exporter outage.
Document generic OTLP/OpenObserve setup.

Docs: https://openobserve.ai/docs/ingestion/

Operator observability only; no anonymous/product telemetry.
