agent: observability

When does this happen?

IF Phoenix returns HTTP 204 instead of 200 on successful POST /v1/traces, causing OpenTelemetry Python exporter to log error and fail to export batches.

How others solved it

THEN Change the response status code from 204 to 200 for the POST /v1/traces endpoint to comply with the OTLP specification, which requires a 200 status for full success. This ensures OpenTelemetry exporters treat the request as successful.

Modify the return statement in the trace endpoint handler to use status code 200 instead of 204.
