AI-generated code disclosure: this PR was implemented with substantial AI assistance and manually reviewed and validated.

What does this PR do?

Adds direct structured-value insertion into TracerSpan.meta_struct, reusing the validator and encoder from DataDog/libdatadog PR 2304 while moving the encoded allocation directly into the span. The opaque blob and standalone encoder APIs remain available.

Motivation

The standalone encoder still requires consumers to manage an intermediate encoded blob and an additional value copy. The direct setter provides the final efficient API for structured payload parity tracked by APMSP-3219.

Additional Notes

Stack position: L5, current PR: DataDog/libdatadog PR 2300, stacked on L4 DataDog/libdatadog PR 2304.

These open L0-L5 changes are not included in libdatadog v38.0.0. They are planned to ship together in a single libdatadog v39 release, with the common dd-trace-rb uptake tracked by R3 DataDog/dd-trace-rb PR 6143.

Complete expected libdatadog review and merge order for that single v39 release:

Level libdatadog PR Matching dd-trace-rb consumer
L0 DataDog/libdatadog PR 2302 Release prerequisite; no payload API consumer
L1 DataDog/libdatadog PR 2303 R4 DataDog/dd-trace-rb PR 6130
L2 DataDog/libdatadog PR 2305 R5 DataDog/dd-trace-rb PR 6129
L3 DataDog/libdatadog PR 2301 R6 DataDog/dd-trace-rb PR 6134
L4 DataDog/libdatadog PR 2304 R7 DataDog/dd-trace-rb PR 6132
L5 (current) DataDog/libdatadog PR 2300 R8 DataDog/dd-trace-rb PR 6133

L0-L3 are independent and can be reviewed in parallel. Merging them in the listed order is still recommended because it reduces integration and release-branch conflicts, and lands panic containment before the new payload surfaces. L4 is stacked on L1, and L5 is stacked on L4.

The matching payload consumers are R4 DataDog/dd-trace-rb PR 6130, R5 DataDog/dd-trace-rb PR 6129, R6 DataDog/dd-trace-rb PR 6134, R7 DataDog/dd-trace-rb PR 6132, and R8 DataDog/dd-trace-rb PR 6133. All depend through the common v39 uptake in R3 DataDog/dd-trace-rb PR 6143. The downstream review and merge order after R3 is R4, R5, R6, R7, then R8; R7 also depends on R4, and R8 depends on R7.

DataDog/libdatadog-rb v37 PR 65 and DataDog/libdatadog-rb v38 PR 66 are separate ordered prerequisite releases only for R2 DataDog/dd-trace-rb PR 6131 and its ForkSafeRuntime uptake. They do not contain the open L0-L5 changes or payload APIs. R3 is stacked on R2, but R3, rather than either prerequisite package, is the common v39 payload-API uptake.

This PR remains a draft because its review and final rebase depend on L4 and, transitively, L1. Its matching consumer R8 DataDog/dd-trace-rb PR 6133 is also a draft pending this API, the v39 package, and R3 DataDog/dd-trace-rb PR 6143. L4 remains draft until L1 is ready.

L0 tracks APMSP-3830; L1-L5 implement the payload work tracked by APMSP-3219.

Expose a C setter that copies an opaque binary value into a span's
`meta_struct` map. Native tracers can now supply pre-encoded
MessagePack without transferring ownership or requiring Rust to
interpret it.

Reject null span handles and non-UTF-8 keys. Reusing a key replaces its
value, and the copied bytes remain owned by the span after the call.
Expose a flat preorder token ABI that encodes nil, scalar, string,
binary, array, and map values into an owned MessagePack blob. This lets
C callers build structured metadata without implementing MessagePack or
sharing the lifetime of their input buffers.

Reject malformed token streams, invalid kinds, booleans, UTF-8, counts,
and nesting deeper than 64 levels. Successful output contains exactly
one value and remains valid until explicitly freed.
Exercise the generated C ABI from the packaged trace exporter example.
Mutate the caller's source buffers after encoding and compare the blob
with fixed MessagePack bytes to prove that output ownership is
independent of the input lifetime.

Mirror the ownership check in Rust and document that token byte slices
are borrowed only for the synchronous encoding call.
Add a span setter that accepts structured-value tokens and encodes them
directly into `meta_struct`. Native tracers can populate structured
metadata without managing an intermediate encoded blob or paying an
additional value copy.

Validate the key and complete token stream before replacing an existing
entry. Encoding failures and invalid handles therefore leave the span
unchanged.

# What does this PR do?

Ensures the combined libdatadog profiling artifact enables `catch_panic` for data-pipeline FFI entry points. It also adds a packaged C regression that triggers capacity overflow and verifies that the FFI returns an error instead of aborting the process.

# Motivation

The standalone data-pipeline FFI crate enables panic containment by default, but the combined profiling artifact disables dependency defaults and did not re-enable it. This closes [APMSP-3830](https://datadoghq.atlassian.net/browse/APMSP-3830) before the native trace exporter payload APIs ship together.

# What does this PR do?

Adds an opaque per-key `meta_struct` blob setter to `TracerSpan`. Keys are validated as UTF-8, while values are copied as uninterpreted binary data. This transitional API lets consumers pass their existing per-key MessagePack blobs without changing the Rust trace model.

# Motivation

Native exporter consumers cannot currently populate `meta_struct`, which blocks payload parity tracked by [APMSP-3219](https://datadoghq.atlassian.net/browse/APMSP-3219). The opaque setter provides the safe first stage before the language-neutral structured-value APIs.

# What does this PR do?

Adds owned span-event construction and atomic attachment through the
data-pipeline FFI. It supports typed scalar attributes, homogeneous
typed arrays, empty arrays, event ordering, and UTF-8 validation.

# Motivation

The Rust trace model supports span events, but native exporter consumers
cannot populate them. This fills the span-event portion of the payload
parity work tracked by
[APMSP-3219](https://datadoghq.atlassian.net/browse/APMSP-3219).

AI-generated code disclosure: this PR was implemented with substantial
AI assistance and manually reviewed and validated.

# What does this PR do?

Adds an atomic batched FFI for complete span links, including 128-bit
trace IDs, span IDs, flags, tracestate, attributes, and ordering. All
borrowed input is validated and copied before insertion.

# Motivation

The Rust trace model supports span links, but native exporter consumers
cannot populate it. This fills the span-link portion of the payload
parity work tracked by
[APMSP-3219](https://datadoghq.atlassian.net/browse/APMSP-3219).

# Additional Notes

`dropped_attributes_count` is intentionally deferred by additive commit
[961044e](961044e).
Neither the Agent v0.4 nor indexed V1 span-link schema defines the
field, and current Datadog tracers do not produce non-zero counts. The
original implementation remains in the preceding commit and can be
restored by reverting the deferral commit.

**Stack position: L2, current PR: [DataDog/libdatadog PR

These open L0-L5 changes are not included in [libdatadog
v38.0.0](https://github.com/DataDog/libdatadog/releases/tag/v38.0.0).
They are planned to ship together in a single libdatadog v39 release,
with the common dd-trace-rb uptake tracked by [R3 DataDog/dd-trace-rb PR
6143](DataDog/dd-trace-rb#6143).

Complete expected libdatadog review and merge order for that single v39
release:

L0-L3 are independent and can be reviewed in parallel. Merging them in
the listed order is still recommended because it reduces integration and
release-branch conflicts, and lands panic containment before the new
payload surfaces. L4 is stacked on L1, and L5 is stacked on L4.

Datadog Autotest: PASS

More details

The direct structured-span setter reuses the existing fully validating MessagePack encoder, validates the key and complete token stream before mutating the span, and preserves the established VecMap overwrite semantics. No diff-attributable behavioral regression was identified; package execution was blocked by the sandbox's unavailable patched proptest Git dependency.

Define token-kind values once as public `u8` constants, derive an internal
Rust enum for readable dispatch, and let cbindgen emit the existing C names.
Keep the FFI field raw so unknown caller values remain safely rejectable.
Carry the safe generated token constants into the direct structured setter
without rewriting its existing merge resolution.
Apply the repository-pinned nightly rustfmt layout to the token-kind
match guards.
Carry the pinned rustfmt output from the structured encoder base into the
direct setter branch.

# What does this PR do?

Introduces a validated, language-neutral structured-value token ABI and standalone MessagePack encoder. It supports nil, booleans, signed and unsigned integers, floats, UTF-8 strings, binary strings, arrays, and maps, with depth and shape validation.

# Motivation

The opaque blob API in [DataDog/libdatadog PR 2303](#2303) restores transitional parity but still requires every consumer to encode MessagePack. This stage moves validated structured-value encoding into libdatadog as part of [APMSP-3219](https://datadoghq.atlassian.net/browse/APMSP-3219).

Datadog Autotest: PASS

More details

The structured-value encoder and direct span setter handle the examined scalar, nested-container, malformed-input, ownership, and atomic-update cases without exposing a clear behavioral regression. Full package execution was unavailable because Cargo could not fetch the repository's pinned proptest git revision in the sandbox.
