Emit host OTel-native via the hostmetrics shape

Description

The second substrate. hostmetricsreceiver is an extremely common real deployment and produces system.cpu.time, system.memory.usage, system.filesystem.usage, system.network.io/.packets/.errors/.dropped/.connections — OTel names, not node_exporter names. So this is a second name catalogue with its own provenance, not a transport switch over signals/host.md.

The detail that will be got wrong if it is not called out: the state attribute value set is explicitly NOT portable across platforms — 8 values on Linux, 4 on non-Linux. host already models Linux, Windows and macOS lanes, so the Windows and macOS lanes must emit the 4-value set. Emitting the Linux 8 everywhere would be a fabricated shape on two of the three lanes.

Acceptance Criteria

Definition of Done

Implementation Plan

Lane D: implement opt-in native OTLP host metrics solely from the captured hostmetrics shape, pin Linux versus non-Linux state values, and prove the promrw path is unchanged when disabled. Return provenance and any root-owned wiring requests.

Implementation Notes

Lane D dispatch preflight: EXECUTION route requested as gpt-5.6-luna/max with fork_turns=none; Delegation forbidden. Lane A code base 25e8c040 is exact-SHA green including e2e and ci-success.

Final verification: focused host native-OTLP tests passed for all 19 sourced families, Linux versus non-Linux CPU state sets, opt-in behavior and unchanged disabled promrw output. The complete inventory contains the host lane; it closes 19 extra-metric gaps (437->418) and exposes 19 host label-shape coverage gaps (103->122), proving the lane is compared rather than vacuous. make blueprint-schema, the complete 28-blueprint dry-run inventory, make e2e at 650/650 and make gate passed.

Exact implementation SHA 1729e2068321fc53b6d973a6fc981fc1066c4c42 passed GitHub ci run 33186760476, including signal-fidelity, go, docker, hygiene, helm, ui, secret-scan, e2e and ci-success.

Final Summary

Added 19 sourced hostmetrics native OTLP families with platform-correct CPU states and opt-in parity; verified by focused tests, non-vacuous fidelity attribution, complete inventory, e2e and make gate.
