The first failure logs a single line that says explicitly the problem is Anthropic's pipeline and not your own OpenTelemetry collector, later failures are counted silently, and a single summary line is emitted at flush or shutdown.\n\n**Details**\n\n- Because the export is reported as a success, your OTel collector no longer sees these as export errors to retry or report.\n- Only the wrapper around Anthropic's own exporter is affected; a collector you configure yourself is untouched.\n- All log lines from this exporter gained a shared prefix so they can be told apart from your own pipeline's output.\n- Present unconditionally in this build, with no flag or setting controlling it.\n\n**Evidence**\n\n`export failed (${e}). This is Anthropic's own telemetry pipeline, not your OTel collector; further failures are counted and summarised at shutdown.`, `This is Anthropic's own telemetry pipeline, not your OTel collector; further failures are counted and summarised at shutdown.`\n\n- Area: Telemetry\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 3\/5\n- Signal: 2\/5"}
