PR Stack (Callback Errors)
📜 Description
Adds
DiscardReason.CALLBACK_ERRORand uses it when an existingbeforeSend*callback throws and drops telemetry. Intentionalnullreturns continue to usebefore_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.
