Medium Risk
This is a user-visible telemetry behavior change: existing trace.span() usage will start recording arguments unless updated, which can affect privacy expectations and recording size even though redaction still applies.
Overview trace.span() now requests inputs, output, and error by default (previously inputs defaulted to “no explicit request”). Call sites can still opt out with inputs = false or use empty_span() for no value capture; @trace.redact continues to withhold sensitive values.
The change is wired through the trace builtins, VM trace-hook handling (bytecode and compiled paths treat TraceHookSpan like full span capture), and telemetry matrix tests that now expect input snapshots unless spans are empty. Host Python/Node instrumentation without explicit options is unchanged—it still captures outputs and errors only unless callers pass span options.
Docs and BAML tests were updated to describe and assert the new defaults.

Summary by CodeRabbit
New Features
Trace spans now capture inputs, outputs, and errors by default. You can opt out of individual captures; empty spans continue to capture none.
Documentation
Updated trace guidance to explain default capture behavior and how to disable input capture.
The included review limit has been reached and this organization has disabled usage-based review continuation. Wait for reviews to reset or ask a billing admin to change After included review limits.
Trace spans now request input capture by default, alongside output and error capture. Tests verify the default and opt-out behavior. Host instrumentation documentation distinguishes span defaults from instrumentation without options.
Options.span, trace.span, and the VM span modes now enable input capture by default. Empty span modes continue to disable input, output, and error capture.
Tests check default input capture, explicit false and null options, empty spans, and telemetry records. The QUIET fixture now disables input capture explicitly.
The comment and README distinguish bare Python/Node instrumentation, which requests outputs and errors, from trace.span() defaults. They document opting out of input capture.
trace.span() now records arguments by default, and the README says inputs=False leaves them out. For host callbacks, a BAML caller can still request inputs, so the README should say so. This is a small wording fix and does not block the merge.
Security architecture risk: Moderate · up to cc28a
Existing trace.span() calls will collect arguments under the new defaults, potentially including sensitive information. Redaction remains enforced, and telemetry is not exported by default. The main risk is unintended collection in deployments that enable recording or other telemetry consumers.
Retained concerns
Medium · security · inferred: Existing trace.span sites can newly send sensitive arguments and type metadata to configured telemetry consumers without a call-site change. Redaction and request-level opt-outs mitigate this, but unannotated data previously excluded by the unset input default is now eligible for capture. This is an inferred privacy exposure from the changed collection contract, not a verified secret leak.
Security review details
Security Blast Radius
inferred — The affected data scope is arguments and generic type metadata at existing explicit Span sites that previously lacked another input-capture requirement. The exposure can include application-supplied or attacker-controlled values passed into those functions. Persistent or external exposure depends on configured consumers; the default runtime selects a no-sink publisher.
Security Findings and Attack Paths
inferred — The supported privacy-risk path is sensitive, unredacted input entering an existing traced function, becoming an entry snapshot under the new default, and reaching a configured telemetry consumer. This does not establish a particular leaked secret, unauthorized reader, remote exporter, or tenant-boundary violation.
Trust Boundaries and Controls
observed — Snapshot capture withholds instances of redacted classes and does not visit redacted field values. These controls operate inside capture, independently of the new default input request; the PR does not remove them.
observed — Reserved invocation requests are merged additively with hook results, whereas non-reserved hook results replace the prior telemetry configuration. Reservation identity comes from the attached reservation, not from the changed built-in hook mapping. Attachment reports wrong-runtime and repeated-use errors. These existing semantics do not establish a newly introduced reservation bypass.
Resilience and Maintainability Implications
observed — Each snapshot capture resets its memoization and work state. Hook completion consumes the pending hook, and the inspected unwind path removes hooks belonging to popped frames. These are relevant isolation and cleanup controls, but do not prove exhaustive concurrency or interruption correctness.
Hardening Proposals
proposed — Provide a migration or compatibility option for deployments that previously relied on opt-in argument collection. Migration guidance should distinguish request-level inputs=false from mandatory redaction, and account for data already delivered to recording consumers.

Clarify that a BAML caller can still record inputs.
inputs=False does not block argument capture for a host callback. A BAML caller that requests inputs=true still records the arguments. resolve_callback_options returns true when either request is true. The callback path then captures the arguments.

`trace.span()` captured its output and error by default, but its inputs
only on request, so a span asked for by name showed what came out and not
what went in. It now requests inputs, output and error, as a declaration
hook (`/// baml:$trace=trace.span`) and at a call site. Pass
`inputs = false` to leave the arguments out, or use `trace.empty_span` to
record the call alone. `@trace.redact` still withholds a value wherever
it is captured.
Host instrumentation without options is unchanged: it requests outputs
and errors only.
