Description

perfetto_trace is *huge* and unwieldy largely because it contains *all* the protos available in Perfetto rather than the protos that people care about.

We should really have an artifact for *only* our core protos and publish that in place of perfetto_trace.proto. Or we should have an additional artifact but I'd still make perfetto_trace the stripped down one and the new one the "full" proto.

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points; start by locating how perfetto_trace.proto is generated and where the core-proto set is defined. Done means perfetto_trace.proto contains only core protos, with a separate full-proto artifact if needed, and the resulting artifact is published.
