Enable APM on Kubernetes via Single Step Instrumentation

Before doing anything else: Fully resolve all variables in ## Context to resolve before acting. Do not begin Step 0 until every variable has a concrete value.


Silent failure — check this before any other step:

If the application has ddtrace, dd-trace, or any OpenTelemetry SDK in its dependency manifest (requirements.txt, package.json, Gemfile, go.mod, pom.xml) — even with no import statements in code — SSI will silently disable itself at runtime.

The failure is invisible: init containers run and complete, the pod starts healthy, no errors appear in kubectl or pup, but no traces arrive. The injector detects the user-installed tracer and exits cleanly without logging anything.

Claude runs

grep -rE "ddtrace|dd-trace|opentelemetry" \
  requirements.txt package.json Gemfile go.mod pom.xml 2>/dev/null \
  || echo "No tracer dependency found"
