Prerequisites to Gather

Before starting, confirm you have the following. If called from deploy-k8s-explorer, these will already be known — do not re-ask.

1. Customer URL — the full Observe tenant URL (e.g., https://105611059680.observeinc.com)
2. Cluster name — human-readable identifier used for the ingest token name
3. Data types — whether traces are included (determines which datastreams to create)
