Description

No events are emitted that can be used to piece together where an imported trace came from, TraceAgents manage their data internally and .import() uses the source operator to create an entirely new source, so there's no ChannelsEvent linking the two streams nor any sort of differential event that links them.

Research direction

Start by locating TraceAgent and the implementation of .import(), then inspect how the source operator emits events and how ChannelsEvent represents stream relationships. Determine the intended event or differential-event linkage for imported traces; done means trace provenance can be reconstructed from emitted events.
