Description

The limitation with the current encoding is that its reliant on the spans. And needs the new root span for incomming requests. As well some tracing may be leveraged throughout the app. So instead we can construct it initially at the beginning of the world and then allow a "principled" modification to reset for contexts like requests etc.

If we get a FiberLocal this will be nice as this could be in the F of an app, or anything with LiftIO, but this gist displays it can be done with only an IOLocal.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the linked IOLocal and FiberLocal gists, then inspect the current span-based encoding in natchez-http4s. Clarify how tracing should be initialized and reset for incoming requests and LiftIO or Fiber contexts; done requires an agreed design and implementation scope.
