Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Right now tracing spans created for normal and local activities have the same exact prefix like "startactivity" and "runactivity".
Looking at the spans themselves it may be tricky to understand which ones are local and which ones are remote.

Research direction
Start by locating the tracing span creation points that use the "startactivity" and "runactivity" prefixes. Compare spans for normal and local activities, then define and verify distinct prefixes or naming for each; done means the resulting spans clearly identify whether the activity is local or remote.
