What
Pending first-party events now get a final flush on exit instead of being dropped. The exporter is held on the host, and shutdown starts the flush and waits for it alongside the telemetry provider's own shutdown.
Details
The exporter also gained token-refresh bookkeeping: which credential a refresh was attempted for, the in-flight refresh, and a retry time for workload identity minting.
Two timeouts are now configurable, one for the OAuth refresh and one for waiting on the credential helper process.
Applies whenever first-party event logging is enabled.
