Description
## Summary
Add a supported local-development workflow for validating extension telemetry before publishing an extension.
## Context
Extension authors currently have no convenient way to inspect the telemetry they expect to emit. Consider one or more host-supported options, such as:
- a flag to dump telemetry locally to a file;
- forwarding spans to a local OpenTelemetry collector; or
- another documented inspection mechanism.
The workflow should make it possible to verify event names, attributes, and acceptance/drop behavior without sending telemetry to production backends.
