chore(deps): drop otel optional extra (YAGNI)#24
Merged
Conversation
The `otel` extra declared `opentelemetry-api>=1.20` + `opentelemetry-sdk>=1.20` but zero httpware code imported them. It existed as a placeholder for Epic 5 (Observability) which hasn't started. Three downsides as currently declared: 1. Misleads users: `pip install httpware[otel]` advertises OTel integration that doesn't exist. 2. `httpware[all]` pulled ~30MB of OTel deps that no code used. 3. Pre-committed version bounds may not match what Epic 5 eventually needs (might want opentelemetry-instrumentation rather than the SDK). Drop now; add back at the same time as the code that uses it lands. This is the same pattern pydantic/msgspec extras follow. - pyproject.toml: remove `otel = [...]` block; drop otel from `all` extra. - planning/engineering.md: update §3 Seam C contract (drop preemptive otel example), §7 optional-extras pattern (note the lesson), §8 Epic 5-4 description. - README.md: drop "(pydantic, msgspec, otel)" parenthetical from the [all] description and the "otel extra is declared but unshipped" line.

Summary
Removes the `otel` optional extra from `pyproject.toml`. It declared `opentelemetry-api>=1.20` + `opentelemetry-sdk>=1.20` but zero httpware code imported them — it existed as a placeholder for Epic 5 (Observability) which hasn't started.
As declared, the extra had three concrete downsides:
Add it back at the same time as the code that uses it lands — same pattern `pydantic` and `msgspec` follow.

Breaking?
No. `pip install httpware[otel]` was never documented as a stable interface (pre-1.0). The extra was declared but advertised nothing. The `all` extra now installs strictly less, which is the desirable change.
