Guide for retrofitting OpenTelemetry into an existing, uninstrumented application. Trigger phrases: "migrate existing app to OTel", "add OpenTelemetry to existing project", "retrofit OTel into my codebase", "thread context through my code", "context propagation", "bridge Prometheus metrics to OTel", "logging bridge", "migrate logging to OTel", "slog bridge", "logback bridge", "verify my instrumentation", "traces are disconnected", "orphaned spans", "migrate to OpenTelemetry", "OTel migration plan", "how do I sequence an OTel migration", "add tracing to existing code", "refactor for context propagation", "Fiber context gotcha", "keep existing logging working with OTel", "add OTel without breaking Prometheus", "bridge existing metrics", "coexist with existing monitoring", or any request about retrofitting OpenTelemetry into an existing application. This skill is for migrating existing codebases, NOT greenfield instrumentation (use otel-instrumentation) or Beeline-specific migration (use beeline-migration).
