ADR 0036: Generic operation correlation in owner logs

Date: 2026-09-29

Status: Accepted and implemented; live collector verification remains separate.

Decision

Existing owner get_logs() methods accept an optional operation_uid exact filter and forward it through the existing log transport. The platform applies this filter before pagination and binds it to continuation cursors. Omission preserves existing behavior. Structured application extensions stay under data. An operation UID is application correlation, not an authorization credential.

The SDK introduces no application-specific endpoint, storage, local file layout, identity lookup, branch requirement or authentication mode. Application libraries own their run identities, local handlers and log UI. Existing owner authorization, time bounds and provider retention remain unchanged.

Verification

The observability transport test covers forwarding operation_uid together with time bounds and level, and preserving opaque structured enrichment in the result.
