/**
 * Sets an isolated TracerProvider for Autotel tracing operations.
 *
 * This allows Autotel to use its own TracerProvider instance, separate from
 * the global OpenTelemetry TracerProvider. This is useful for avoiding conflicts
 * with other OpenTelemetry instrumentation in the application.
 *
 * **Limitation: Span Context Sharing**
 *
 * While this function isolates span processing and export, it does NOT provide
 * complete trace isolation. OpenTelemetry context (trace IDs, parent spans) is
 * still shared between the global and isolated providers. This means:
 *
 * - Spans created with the isolated provider inherit trace IDs from global spans
 * - Spans created with the isolated provider inherit parent relationships from global spans
 * - This can result in spans from different providers being part of the same logical trace
 *
 * **Why this happens:**
 * OpenTelemetry uses a global context propagation mechanism that operates at the
 * JavaScript runtime level, independent of individual TracerProvider instances.
 * The context (containing trace ID, span ID) flows through async boundaries and
 * is inherited by all spans created within that context, regardless of which
 * TracerProvider creates them.
 *
 * **When to use this:**
 * - Library code that ships with embedded Autotel
 * - SDKs that want observability without requiring users to set up OpenTelemetry
 * - Applications that need separate span processing for different subsystems
 * - Testing scenarios where you want to isolate trace collection
 *
 * @param provider - The TracerProvider instance to use, or null to clear the isolated provider
 *
 * @example Library with embedded Autotel
 * ```typescript
 * import { NodeTracerProvider } from '@opentelemetry/sdk-trace-node'
 * import { BatchSpanProcessor } from '@opentelemetry/sdk-trace-base'
 * import { OTLPTraceExporter } from '@opentelemetry/exporter-trace-otlp-http'
 * import { setAutolem

etryTracerProvider } from 'autotel/tracer-provider'
 *
 * // Create provider with span processors in constructor
 * const exporter = new OTLPTraceExporter({
 *   url: 'https://your-backend.com/v1/traces'
 * })
 *
 * const provider = new NodeTracerProvider()
 * provider.addSpanProcessor(new BatchSpanProcessor(exporter))
 *
 * // Set as Autotel's isolated provider (doesn't call provider.register())
 * setAutotelTracerProvider(provider)
 *
 * // Now all Autotel trace() calls use this provider
 * // But won't interfere with the application's global OpenTelemetry setup
 * ```
 *
 * @example Testing with isolated provider
 * ```typescript
 * import { NodeTracerProvider } from '@opentelemetry/sdk-trace-node'
 * import { InMemorySpanExporter } from '@opentelemetry/sdk-trace-base'
 * import { setAutotelTracerProvider } from 'autotel/tracer-provider'
 *
 * // Test setup
 * const exporter = new InMemorySpanExporter()
 * const provider = new NodeTracerProvider()
 * provider.addSpanProcessor(new SimpleSpanProcessor(exporter))
 *
 * setAutotelTracerProvider(provider)
 *
 * // Run tests...
 * const spans = exporter.getFinishedSpans()
 *
 * // Cleanup
 * setAutotelTracerProvider(null)
 * ```
 *
 * @example Multiple subsystems with different exporters
 * ```typescript
 * import { NodeTracerProvider } from '@opentelemetry/sdk-trace-node'
 * import { setAutotelTracerProvider } from 'autotel/tracer-provider'
 *
 * // Payment subsystem - send to payment team's backend
 * const paymentProvider = new NodeTracerProvider()
 * paymentProvider.addSpanProcessor(new BatchSpanProcessor(
 *   new OTLPTraceExporter({ url: 'https://payment-team-backend.com/v1/traces' })
 * ))
 *
 * // In payment module initialization
 * setAutotelTracerProvider(paymentProvider)
 * ```
 *

/**
 * Gets the TracerProvider for Autotel tracing operations.
 *
 * Returns the isolated TracerProvider if one has been set via setAutotelTracerProvider(),

 *
 * This function is used internally by Autotel's trace functions. Most users

 *
 * const provider = getAutotelTracerProvider()
 * const tracer = provider.getTracer('my-service', '1.0.0')

 * import { getAutotelTracerProvider, setAutotelTracerProvider } from 'autotel/tracer-provider'
 * import { trace } from '@opentelemetry/api'
 *
 * const currentProvider = getAutotelTracerProvider()
 * const globalProvider = trace.getTracerProvider()
 *

 *   console.log('Using global provider')
 * } else {
 *   console.log('Using isolated provider')
 * }
