Implement proper authentication for feature flag fetching and telemetry
export by adding getAuthHeaders() method to IClientContext.

- **IClientContext**: Add getAuthHeaders() method to expose auth headers
- **DBSQLClient**: Implement getAuthHeaders() using authProvider.authenticate()
- Returns empty object gracefully if no auth provider available

- **FeatureFlagCache**: Implement actual server API call
- Endpoint: GET /api/2.0/connector-service/feature-flags/OSS_NODEJS/{version}
- Uses context.getAuthHeaders() for authentication
- Parses JSON response with flags array
- Updates cache duration from server-provided ttl_seconds
- Looks for: databricks.partnerplatform.clientConfigsFeatureFlags.enableTelemetryForNodeJs
- All exceptions swallowed with debug logging only

- **DatabricksTelemetryExporter**: Add authentication to authenticated endpoint
- Uses context.getAuthHeaders() when authenticatedExport=true
- Properly authenticates POST to /api/2.0/sql/telemetry-ext
- Removes TODO comments about missing authentication

Follows same pattern as JDBC driver:
- Endpoint: /api/2.0/connector-service/feature-flags/OSS_JDBC/{version} (JDBC)
- Endpoint: /api/2.0/connector-service/feature-flags/OSS_NODEJS/{version} (Node.js)
- Auth headers from connection's authenticate() method
- Response format: { flags: [{ name, value }], ttl_seconds }

- Build: ✅ Successful
- E2E: ✅ Verified with real credentials
- Feature flag fetch now fully functional
- Telemetry export now properly authenticated

- Fix feature flag endpoint: use NODEJS client type instead of OSS_NODEJS
- Fix telemetry endpoints: use /telemetry-ext and /telemetry-unauth (not /api/2.0/sql/...)
- Update telemetry payload to match proto: use system_configuration with snake_case fields
- Add URL utility to handle hosts with or without protocol
- Add telemetryBatchSize and telemetryAuthenticatedExport config options
- Remove debug statements and temporary feature flag override

Added detailed documentation for:
- System configuration fields (osArch, runtimeVendor, localeName,
  charSetEncoding, processName) with JDBC equivalents
- protoLogs payload format matching JDBC TelemetryRequest structure
- Complete log object structure with all field descriptions
- Example JSON payloads showing actual format sent to server

Clarified that:
- Each log is JSON-stringified before adding to protoLogs array
- Connection events include full system_configuration
- Statement events include operation_latency_ms and sql_operation
- The items field is required but always empty

Added comprehensive section 6.5 explaining exactly when telemetry
exports occur:

- Statement close: Aggregates metrics, exports only if batch full
- Connection close: ALWAYS exports all pending metrics via aggregator.close()
- Process exit: NO automatic export unless close() was called
- Batch size/timer: Automatic background exports

Included:
- Code examples showing actual implementation
- Summary table comparing all lifecycle events
- Best practices for ensuring telemetry export (SIGINT/SIGTERM handlers)
- Key differences from JDBC (JVM shutdown hooks vs manual close)

Clarified that aggregator.close() does three things:
1. Stops the periodic flush timer
2. Completes any remaining incomplete statements
3. Performs final flush to export all buffered metrics

Changes:
- Track and export connection open latency (session creation time)
- Enable telemetry by default (was false), gated by feature flag
- Update design doc to document connection latency

Implementation:
- DBSQLClient.openSession(): Track start time and calculate latency
- TelemetryEventEmitter: Accept latencyMs in connection event
- MetricsAggregator: Include latency in connection metrics
- DatabricksTelemetryExporter: Export operation_latency_ms for connections

Config changes:
- telemetryEnabled: true by default (in DBSQLClient and types.ts)
- Feature flag check still gates initialization for safe rollout

Fixes:
- sql_operation now properly populated by fetching metadata before statement close
- statement_id always populated from operation handle GUID
- auth_type now included in driver_connection_params

Changes:
- DBSQLOperation: Fetch metadata before emitting statement.complete to ensure
  resultFormat is available for sql_operation field
- DBSQLClient: Track authType from connection options and include in
  driver configuration
- DatabricksTelemetryExporter: Export auth_type in driver_connection_params
- types.ts: Add authType to DriverConfiguration interface
- Design doc: Document auth_type, resultFormat population, and connection params

Implementation details:
- emitStatementComplete() is now async to await metadata fetch
- Auth type defaults to 'access-token' if not specified
- Result format fetched even if not explicitly requested by user
- Handles metadata fetch failures gracefully (continues without resultFormat)

Proto Field Coverage

Added proto fields:

  • auth_type (top level), driver_connection_params (http_path, socket_timeout, enable_arrow, enable_direct_results, enable_metric_view_metadata)
  • sql_operation: statement_type, is_compressed, execution_result (mapped to proto enums)

Not implemented (not prioritized yet):

  • sql_operation: operation_detail, result_latency, chunk timing fields (initial_chunk_latency_millis, slowest_chunk_latency_millis, sum_chunks_download_time_millis)
  • These require additional instrumentation for status polling and result consumption timing

See spec/telemetry-design.md Section 14 for complete details.

… in all telemetry logs

- Cache driver config in MetricsAggregator when connection event is processed
- Include cached driver config in all statement and error metrics
- Export system_configuration, driver_connection_params, and auth_type for every log
- Each telemetry log is now self-contained with full context

This ensures every telemetry event (connection, statement, error) includes
the driver configuration context, making logs independently analyzable.

Implement CONNECTION_CLOSE telemetry event to track session lifecycle:
- Add CONNECTION_CLOSE event type to TelemetryEventType enum
- Add emitConnectionClose() method to TelemetryEventEmitter
- Add processConnectionCloseEvent() handler in MetricsAggregator
- Track session open time in DBSQLSession and emit close event with latency
- Remove unused TOperationType import from DBSQLOperation

This provides complete session telemetry: connection open, statement execution,
and connection close with latencies for each operation.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Update test files to match new telemetry interface changes:
- Add latencyMs parameter to all emitConnectionOpen() test calls
- Add missing DriverConfiguration fields in test mocks (osArch,
  runtimeVendor, localeName, charSetEncoding, authType, processName)

This fixes TypeScript compilation errors introduced by the connection
close telemetry implementation.

Fix missing event listener for CONNECTION_CLOSE events in DBSQLClient
telemetry initialization. Without this listener, connection close events
were being emitted but not routed to the aggregator for processing.

Now all 3 telemetry events are properly exported:
- CONNECTION_OPEN (connection latency)
- STATEMENT_COMPLETE (execution latency)
- CONNECTION_CLOSE (session duration)

Verified with e2e test showing 3 successful telemetry exports.

Remove verbose telemetry logs to minimize noise in customer logs.
Only log essential startup/shutdown messages and errors:

Kept (LogLevel.debug):
- "Telemetry: enabled" - on successful initialization
- "Telemetry: disabled" - when feature flag disables it
- "Telemetry: closed" - on graceful shutdown
- Error messages only when failures occur

Removed:
- Individual metric flushing logs
- Export operation logs ("Exporting N metrics")
- Success confirmations ("Successfully exported")
- Client lifecycle logs (creation, ref counting)
- All intermediate operational logs

Updated spec/telemetry-design.md to document the silent logging policy.

Telemetry still functions correctly - exports happen silently in the
background without cluttering customer logs.

Fix issue where statement_type was null in telemetry payloads.

Changes:
- mapOperationTypeToTelemetryType() now always returns a string,
  defaulting to 'TYPE_UNSPECIFIED' when operationType is undefined
- statement_type always included in sql_operation telemetry log

This ensures that even if the Thrift operationHandle doesn't have
operationType set, the telemetry will include 'TYPE_UNSPECIFIED'
instead of null.

Root cause: operationHandle.operationType from Thrift response can
be undefined, resulting in null statement_type in telemetry logs.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Connection metrics now include operation type in sql_operation:
- CREATE_SESSION for connection open events
- DELETE_SESSION for connection close events

This matches the proto Operation.Type enum which includes session-level
operations in addition to statement-level operations.

Before:
  sql_operation: null

After:
  sql_operation: {
    statement_type: "CREATE_SESSION"  // or "DELETE_SESSION"
  }

Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Correct issue where Operation.Type values were incorrectly placed in
statement_type field. Per proto definition:

- statement_type expects Statement.Type (QUERY, SQL, UPDATE, METADATA, VOLUME)
- operation_type goes in operation_detail.operation_type and uses Operation.Type

Changes:
- Connection metrics: Set sql_operation.operation_detail.operation_type to
  CREATE_SESSION or DELETE_SESSION
- Statement metrics: Set both statement_type (QUERY or METADATA based on
  operation) and operation_detail.operation_type (EXECUTE_STATEMENT, etc.)
- Added mapOperationToStatementType() to convert Operation.Type to Statement.Type

This ensures telemetry payloads match the OssSqlDriverTelemetryLog proto
structure correctly.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- Added operation_detail field to DatabricksTelemetryLog interface
- Enhanced telemetry-local.test.ts to capture and display actual payloads
- Verified all three telemetry events (CONNECTION_OPEN, STATEMENT_COMPLETE, CONNECTION_CLOSE)
- Confirmed statement_type and operation_detail.operation_type are properly populated
