Pull request overview
This PR refactors internal/tracing/span_helpers.go by extracting a private startSpan helper to centralize the common tracer.Start invocation used by the public Start*Span factory functions, reducing boilerplate while keeping span behavior consistent.
Changes:
- Added a private
startSpan(ctx, tracer, spanName, kind, attrs...)helper that appliesWithAttributesandWithSpanKindconsistently. - Updated the four public
Start*Spanhelpers to delegate span creation tostartSpanwhile preserving their existing logging and attribute construction.

The four

internal/tracing/span_helpers.go: Extracted a privatestartSpanhelper that centralizes thetracer.Startcall withWithAttributes/WithSpanKindoptions. All four public functions delegate to it while retaining their individual log lines and attribute construction.No behavioral change — span names, kinds, attributes, and log messages are all preserved exactly.
