Long-running processes

Trace context and persistence recorders are scoped Laravel container bindings. This prevents state from being reused across normal request and job scopes.

For Octane, queue workers, and other long-running processes:

• Keep application context inside AiObservatory::withContext() where possible.
• Add PropagateAiTraceContext to queued application jobs that need inherited context.
• Allow the framework to terminate request and job scopes normally.
• Run stale recovery for operations that can end without an SDK completion event.

withContext() snapshots the existing context and restores it in a finally block, including when the callback throws.

Avoid setting global context once during worker boot. Direct tag, user, tenant, and feature calls apply to the current scope and should be made close to the AI operation they describe.
