proxy: add proxy.binary resource key

[myleshorton]

Adds ProxyBinaryKey (proxy.binary) to the proxy resource attributes.

service.name tells you where a proxy is deployed, not which program runs it. On VPSes, both lantern-box and http-proxy-lantern report service.name=vps-proxy. proxy.binary is the attribute that tells them apart on proxy.io.

Value already in use in lantern-cloud: the http-proxy VPS cloud-init has set proxy.binary=http-proxy-lantern since getlantern/lantern-cloud#2776. Consumers:

• otel: set proxy.binary=lantern-box on the resource lantern-box#358: lantern-box sets it on its resource. Copilot asked for it to come from semconv rather than a hardcoded string.
• getlantern/lantern-cloud#3548: cloud-init and the ops collector backfill.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds the public ProxyBinaryKey attribute with the value proxy.binary. Its documentation distinguishes the binary name from service.name and specifies the VPS value.

Merge Risk

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 1aa1e

The new public attribute documentation could confuse users about service identity. Correct the localized wording; the issue does not affect runtime behavior.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 1aa1e

The change adds a telemetry key without changing existing keys, executing new behavior, or granting authority. No material security risk was identified in the reviewed change.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

• inferred — The demonstrated exposure is an additive telemetry vocabulary available to importing consumers, not a new remotely callable endpoint. Effects on external producers and collectors remain unverified.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

• inferred — Within the reviewed change, naming a telemetry attribute does not establish authenticated binary identity or expand execution authority. No changed path carries attacker-controlled values across a trust boundary.

Describe service.name as the logical service name.

The comment says service.name identifies where the proxy is deployed. OpenTelemetry defines it as the logical name of the service. This wording can lead users to treat service.name as deployment metadata. State that it identifies the logical service, and that VPS deployments use vps-proxy for both binaries. (opentelemetry.io)
