PR Stack (Callback Errors)


📜 Description

Adds DiscardReason.CALLBACK_ERROR and uses it when an existing beforeSend* callback throws and drops telemetry. Intentional null returns continue to use before_send.

The change preserves transaction/root-span and log/metric byte accounting, and exposes the new reason through OnDiscardCallback.

💡 Motivation and Context

Callback failures and intentional filtering currently share the same discard reason. Distinguishing them makes client reports and local discard observers accurately describe why telemetry was dropped.

💚 How did you test it?

  • ./gradlew spotlessApply apiDump
  • ./gradlew :sentry:test --tests io.sentry.SentryClientTest --tests io.sentry.clientreport.ClientReportTest
  • ./gradlew :sentry:apiCheck

📝 Checklist

  • I added GH Issue ID & Linear ID
  • I added tests to verify the changes.
  • No new PII added or SDK only sends newly added PII if sendDefaultPII is enabled.
  • I updated the docs if needed.
  • I updated the wizard if needed.
  • Review from the native team if needed.
  • No breaking change or entry added to the changelog.
  • No breaking change for hybrid SDKs or communicated to hybrid SDKs.
  • Public API changes reviewed by another Mobile SDK team member or implemented according to the develop docs spec.

🔮 Next steps

The next stack PR changes event processor exception handling.

⚠️ Merge this PR using a merge commit (not squash). Only the collection branch is squash-merged into main.

Add the callback_error discard reason and use it when a beforeSend callback throws. Preserve before_send for callbacks that intentionally return null and retain item, span, and byte accounting.
