Add custom resource attributes and span links to OtelTraceSink

[bmdhodl]

Summary

• This is the narrow Later-bucket sink improvement, not the full exporter module. Per the processed decision Request (2026-05-15-0010-blocked-decision-agent47-otel-exporter-direction), no new agentguard47.exporters.otel module, no new OTel dependencies, no observability repositioning.
• OtelTraceSink.__init__ gains an optional resource_attributes dict — entries are coerced to strings and stamped as agentguard.resource.* on every span the sink emits.
• Span-start events may carry a links list of {"span_id", "attributes"} entries referencing already-tracked spans; these become OTel Link objects. Unknown/malformed entries are skipped.
• Both new behaviors default to off — fully backward compatible.

Test plan

• pytest tests/test_otel_sink.py — 19 passed (9 original unchanged + 10 new)
• pytest tests/ — 750 passed, no regressions
• ruff check agentguard/sinks/otel.py — clean
• New tests cover: resource attrs stamped on every span, non-string coercion, no-attrs default, link to tracked span, link to unknown span skipped, multiple links, no-links default, malformed link entries skipped

Artifacts

WORK_PLAN.md, RESEARCH.md, QA_REPORT.md committed at repo root. QA verdict: PASS — no secrets, no denylist paths, no coverage regression.

Risk

Low. Additive, opt-in, no new dependency; core SDK stays zero-dep. Diff ~297 lines.

RESEARCH.md:15

• This cites sdk/pyproject.toml:74 as a Ruff exclusion, but that line is the setuptools package-find exclude, not Ruff configuration. Ruff only ignores a few rules per file for tests/**; the tests are omitted because the project lint command targets sdk/agentguard/ and selected scripts, so this evidence is inaccurate as written.

- Ruff config (`sdk/pyproject.toml:74`) excludes `tests*` and `examples*`, so
  the 4 pre-existing F401 unused-import warnings in `test_otel_sink.py` are not
  CI-checked and are out of scope for this task. The production file
  `agentguard/sinks/otel.py` passes `ruff check` cleanly.

QA_REPORT.md:29

• This repeats the inaccurate claim that Ruff config excludes tests*. The cited exclusion is package metadata, while Ruff would still check tests if invoked on them (apart from the listed per-file ignored rules); the reason CI/local lint skips these imports is the lint command's target set, not Ruff configuration.

- Pre-existing ruff F401 unused imports in `test_otel_sink.py` (`call`,
  `MagicMock`, `patch`, `sys`) were left untouched — out of scope, and ruff
  config excludes `tests*` so CI does not check them. Production file
  `otel.py` passes `ruff check` cleanly.
