The Telemetry Module v0.8 extends the Traversal Grammar and Conformance Module by adding process-level self-description. Earlier modules specify what a traversal does and how completion can be checked. Telemetry asks what the traversal can say about itself while execution is still underway.
Its new operation, EMIT, is generated for each grammar step, including failures. Emissions record event type, chain position, active mantle, a snapshot of LOGOS state, and optional cost. Routing may send them to witness, stream, archive, conventional tracing, or null, but a minimum tombstone is supposed to remain so terminal witness can account for missing detail.
A semantic span joins ordinary operational metrics—duration, status, resource use—to epistemic fields such as room, degrees traversed, state change, active anchors, drift, and failure mode. The module’s public/private tiers are intended to prevent exported telemetry from reproducing raw prompts, retrieved passages, user input, or full semantic content by default.
The module does not reject standard observability; it proposes a semantic substrate beneath it. Its concise distinction is that engineering spans report how long an operation took, while semantic spans report how far the LOGOS moved. This remains a specification for an architecture and should not be described as an installed monitoring service without implementation evidence.
