Research direction

Start at the trace details view and trace waterfall for a trace with 220k+ spans, using the reproduction steps in the issue. Investigate the gateway timeout and three retries reported by Sentry. Done means the trace loads successfully, or the issue documents a confirmed supported limit and an appropriate handling path.
