[Repo Assist] fix(config): add headers field to JSON stdin opentelemetry config - #8587

The TOML gateway.opentelemetry.headers field had no equivalent in the JSON stdin format. This meant that users of the JSON stdin config path (e.g. gh-aw workflows) could not provide OTLP export headers inline; they had to rely on the OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_HEADERS environment variable as a workaround. Changes: - Add Headers field to StdinOpenTelemetryConfig struct - Add 'headers' property to the JSON schema opentelemetryConfig definition - Wire StdinOpenTelemetryConfig.Headers through to TracingConfig.Headers in the stdin converter registered in config_tracing.go - Update TestStdinConverter_OTelConfig to assert Headers is empty when omitted - Add TestStdinConverter_OTelConfig_Headers to verify end-to-end wiring - Update TestLoadFromStdin_OpenTelemetryHeaders to verify headers are accepted and wired through (previously tested that headers were rejected) The docs/CONFIGURATION.md JSON stdin example already showed 'headers' in the opentelemetry block but the schema enforced additionalProperties:false, causing any use of the documented field to fail at runtime.

Pull request overview
This PR aims to add support for configuring OpenTelemetry OTLP export headers via JSON stdin config (gateway.opentelemetry.headers), aligning the JSON schema and stdin conversion path with existing tracing config behavior.
Changes:
- Adds
headersto theopentelemetryConfigJSON schema definition. - Adds
HeaderstoStdinOpenTelemetryConfigand wires it intoTracingConfig.Headersin the stdin converter. - Updates/extends tests to assert
headersis accepted and propagated.

Root Cause
The
StdinOpenTelemetryConfigstruct (used when config is supplied via JSON stdin) was missing aHeadersfield, even though:TracingConfig(the TOML-side struct) already hadHeaders stringdocs/CONFIGURATION.mdalready showedheadersin the JSON stdin exampleopentelemetryConfigdefinition hadadditionalProperties: false— so any user supplyingheadersin JSON stdin would get a silent schema validation errorThis created a gap: OTEL export headers could be configured via
OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_HEADERSenv var or TOML, but not via JSON stdin. The documentation implied they could.Fix
internal/config/config_stdin.go: AddedHeaders stringfield toStdinOpenTelemetryConfiginternal/config/schema/mcp-gateway-config.schema.json: Added"headers"property to theopentelemetryConfigschema definition (was missing despiteadditionalProperties: false)internal/config/config_tracing.go: Updated stdin converter to copyotel.HeadersintoTracingConfig.Headersinternal/config/config_tracing_test.go: AddedTestStdinConverter_OTelConfig_Headerstest; extended existing test to verify absent headers remain emptyinternal/config/load_from_stdin_coverage_test.go: UpdatedTestLoadFromStdin_OpenTelemetryHeaders— it previously asserted headers were rejected (per an incorrect spec reference), now correctly asserts headers are accepted and propagatedTrade-offs
${VAR}) in headers works automatically via the existingExpandRawJSONVariablespreprocessing path, consistent with the TOML pathTest Status
