agent: observability

When does this happen?

IF OTLP trace exporter receives HTTP 204 No Content instead of 200 OK on successful export, causing error logs and failed batches.

How others solved it

THEN Modify the POST /v1/traces endpoint to return HTTP 200 with an empty body on successful trace ingestion, as required by the OpenTelemetry Protocol specification. This ensures compatibility with OpenTelemetry exporters that treat non-200 responses as failures.

# In the endpoint handler (e.g., traces.py), change:
# return Response(status_code=204)
# to:
return Response(status_code=200)
