Why

How Maple handles renamed OpenTelemetry attributes is spread across hand-written tables:

  • semconv-renames.ts
  • db-query-shape-sql.ts
  • the alias tables in traces-shared.ts
  • normalizeKey
  • ATTRIBUTE_RENAMES
  • the GenAI alias tables
  • the key lists in AI prompts

They disagree with each other on key order, and in places with the registry (ATTRIBUTE_RENAMES calls enduser.id deprecated; it isn't). This PR adds the source of truth they will be derived from. It has no Maple knowledge, so it lives in lib/.

What's in it

  • scripts/sync-registry.ts (bun run --cwd lib/semconv registry:sync): snapshots the attribute list from https://semconv.com/api/attributes.json, covering the semantic-conventions registry (v1.44.0) and the GenAI registry (2026-09-29). The snapshot is checked in, so builds and CI never touch the network. --from <file> reads a saved copy instead of fetching.
  • Successors from prose: 87 deprecations are "uncategorized" and name their replacement only in the note ("Replaced by gen_ai.provider.name, which has moved ..."). The generator extracts those, so gen_ai.system, gen_ai.usage.prompt_tokens and rpc.grpc.status_code resolve to their replacements.
  • Silent removals are kept: the registry sometimes drops a key with no deprecation stub. The generator carries these forward from the previous snapshot as removed, with the version they were last seen in. gen_ai.token.type is the first one (last seen in GenAI 2026-09-01).
  • API:
    • attributeStatus(key) returns current, moved (deprecated in the main registry but live in GenAI, so nothing to change), deprecated (with successors), removed or unknown. Keys under a template attribute like http.request.header.<key> resolve too.
    • canonicalKey(key) follows single-successor renames to the live key.
    • legacyKeys(key) lists every deprecated spelling that resolves to a key.
    • isRegistryKey(key) says whether either registry defines the key.

Nothing consumes it yet.

Next

  1. Re-express semconv-renames.ts, db-query-shape-sql.ts and the traces-shared.ts alias tables through this package plus a Maple overlay in packages/domain. That overlay holds key-order overrides, fallback chains like server.address → http.host → url.authority, and Maple's own retired keys. Byte-identity tests will prove the generated SQL doesn't change.
  2. Derive normalizeKey, ATTRIBUTE_RENAMES, the UI tables and the AI prompt key lists from it.
  3. Add lint rules for emitting deprecated keys and for reading renamed keys outside the alias layer, plus a weekly sync workflow.

Testing

  • bun run --cwd lib/semconv test (13 tests) and typecheck pass, and oxlint and oxfmt are clean.
  • Running the sync twice leaves the snapshot unchanged.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added an OpenTelemetry semantic-convention registry with attribute definitions and status checks, including recognition of renamed, moved, removed, and template-defined keys.
    • Added lookup helpers to resolve renamed keys, find legacy spellings, and identify valid registry keys.
    • Added registry version information and a way to refresh registry data from the online source or a saved snapshot.

Handling of renamed OpenTelemetry attributes is spread over hand-written
tables that disagree with each other and with the registry. This is the first
step toward deriving them from one source: a data-only library with no Maple
knowledge, so it lives in lib/.

- scripts/sync-registry.ts snapshots semconv.com's attribute list for both the
  semantic-conventions and GenAI registries into src/generated/registry.ts.
  The snapshot is checked in, so builds and CI never touch the network.
- Deprecations without a structured successor often name it in prose
  ("Replaced by `gen_ai.provider.name`, which has moved ..."); the generator
  reads those too.
- Keys a previous snapshot had and the registry dropped without a deprecation
  are kept as removed. gen_ai.token.type is the first one (GenAI 2026-09-01).
- API: attributeStatus (current, moved, deprecated, removed, unknown, with
  template keys like http.request.header.<key>), canonicalKey, legacyKeys,
  isRegistryKey.

Nothing consumes it yet.

Maple review

🟡 Confidence 3/5 · needs attention
Contained, unconsumed data library, but canonicalKey mis-walks obsoleted keys on the checked-in snapshot and nothing tests that branch.
quality 90/100 · 1 warning · tests partial · risk low

Adds @maple/semconv, a checked-in snapshot of the semconv and GenAI attribute registries plus lookup helpers (attributeStatus, canonicalKey, legacyKeys, isRegistryKey). Nothing consumes it yet; the only issue is that canonicalKey walks obsoleted keys, which the snapshot exercises.

  • attributeStatus classifies keys current/moved/deprecated/removed/unknown, templates included
  • canonicalKey follows single-successor deprecations; legacyKeys indexes the reverse map

Findings

🟠 Warning · F1 · canonicalKey follows obsoleted successors, contradicting its own contract

correctness · lib/semconv/src/registry.ts:110

The loop stops only on successors.length !== 1 and never reads deprecation.reason, so an obsoleted key with a single successor is rewritten even though the doc above promises obsoleted keys are returned unchanged (and reason is otherwise dead: nothing in the package reads it). On the checked-in snapshot this changes real keys: canonicalKey("error.message") returns feature_flag.error.message — and consequently legacyKeys("feature_flag.error.message") lists error.message — and db.instance.id is rewritten to elasticsearch.node.name. A consumer deriving the Maple rename/alias tables from this package would fold generic error.message into a feature-flag key.

			status.kind !== "deprecated" ||
			status.definition.deprecation.reason === "obsoleted" ||
			status.successors.length !== 1

What was checked
  • Ran the package's head code under node against the checked-in snapshot (--experimental-strip-types) for attributeStatus, canonicalKey, legacyKeys, definitions
  • Every deprecation-successor in the snapshot resolves to a registry key; template matching (http.request.header.x, container.label.x) picks the expected definition
  • The moved heuristic holds on the data: all 56 moved keys are live in genai with a semconv stub, none the other way

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds the @maple/semconv package, a registry synchronization script, and APIs for looking up semantic convention attributes, their status, canonical keys, and legacy keys.

Changes

Semantic convention registry

Layer / File(s) Summary
Registry synchronization and package setup
lib/semconv/package.json, lib/semconv/tsconfig.json, knip.json, lib/semconv/scripts/sync-registry.ts
Adds package configuration and Knip entries. The synchronization script loads registry data from a file or URL, validates it, derives deprecation and removal records, and writes formatted TypeScript output.
Typed registry lookup
lib/semconv/src/types.ts, lib/semconv/src/registry.ts
Defines registry data and status types. Adds lookups for definitions and statuses, registry-key validation, canonical-key resolution, and legacy-key lookup.
Public exports and lookup tests
lib/semconv/src/index.ts, lib/semconv/src/registry.test.ts
Re-exports the registry API and types. Adds tests for attribute statuses, canonical keys, legacy keys, and registry version formats.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Change: Feature

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to d01a0

The package is mergeable with a bounded follow-up to validate attribute rows before generating snapshots. Malformed input can otherwise produce incorrect registry lookups.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to d01a0

The change is currently isolated to a private library and maintenance tooling, with no identified production consumers. The main risk is snapshot integrity: an incomplete input can be accepted as a complete registry and turn omitted attributes into removals. Checked-in data and explicit synchronization substantially limit immediate exposure.

Retained concerns

  • Low · security · inferred: The new synchronization flow treats any nonempty, superficially valid payload as a complete registry. A partial saved file or incomplete upstream response can therefore become an authoritative snapshot in which omitted prior attributes are classified as removed. Impact is currently confined to the checked-in library data; no production consumers were identified.
Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The demonstrated exposure is the integrity of one workspace's generated registry snapshot and its lookup results. Exploitation through the external feed requires control of the response accepted during a maintainer's synchronization; the file path requires influencing the saved input the operator selects. No downstream tenant, credential, service, or agent authority expansion was identified.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

  • inferred — An incomplete input can pass the payload checks, cause absent prior keys to be persisted as removals, and change subsequent attributeStatus results. This is a newly introduced snapshot-integrity path, not a verified production exploit. The canonical Security input contains no retained findings and reports unknown coverage.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — External JSON becomes trusted generated lookup data after shallow checks. TypeScript declarations do not validate rows at runtime. Note-derived successors are restricted to known IDs, while explicit renamedTo values are accepted directly. Fixed HTTPS acquisition, JSON serialization, and checked-in snapshots constrain this boundary but do not verify schema or completeness.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • inferred — Explicit synchronization and local runtime data contain upstream outages to maintenance operations. Concurrent sync processes can nevertheless overwrite each other's results because each reads prior state independently and writes without serialization. This is a bounded tooling consistency risk, not demonstrated live-service exposure.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — Validate row shapes, registry versions, duplicate identities, and explicit successor targets before promotion. Require an explicit completeness or removal-review gate so a partial saved payload cannot silently authorize broad removals.
  • proposed — Use atomic file replacement and serialize synchronization runs to preserve the prior valid snapshot across interruption and concurrent updates.

Validate attribute rows before generating the registry.

The top-level checks do not validate each attribute row. Rows with an unknown registry value or malformed stability, type, or deprecation metadata can pass sorting, serialization, and formatting, then enter registry.ts. registry.ts treats a non-deprecated row as live, so an unknown registry value can produce an incorrect lookup result.

A missing or non-string id does not reach output because sorting calls localeCompare before writing. Limit validation to fields that can survive this path, and fail the sync when a row has an invalid shape or an unsupported registry value.

Warning

canonicalKey follows obsoleted successors, contradicting its own contract

F1 · Warning · correctness

The loop stops only on successors.length !== 1 and never reads deprecation.reason, so an obsoleted key with a single successor is rewritten even though the doc above promises obsoleted keys are returned unchanged (and reason is otherwise dead: nothing in the package reads it). On the checked-in snapshot this changes real keys: canonicalKey("error.message") returns feature_flag.error.message — and consequently legacyKeys("feature_flag.error.message") lists error.message — and db.instance.id is rewritten to elasticsearch.node.name. A consumer deriving the Maple rename/alias tables from this package would fold generic error.message into a feature-flag key.

Stop the walk when the deprecation reason is `obsoleted` (as the doc says), not only when there is more than one successor, and add a test that `canonicalKey("error.message")` stays `error.message`.
