Replace SentryKafkaProducerInterceptor with SentryKafkaProducer, a Producer<K,V> wrapper that records a queue.publish span around each send and finishes it when the broker ack callback fires. The span now reflects the full async send lifecycle, not just the synchronous onSend window. For Spring Boot, the SentryKafkaProducerBeanPostProcessor switches from patching KafkaTemplate.setProducerInterceptor(...) to installing a ProducerPostProcessor on every ProducerFactory bean via ProducerFactory.addPostProcessor(...). KafkaTemplate beans are no longer touched, so all customer-configured listeners, interceptors and observation settings are preserved. The console sample now wraps the raw KafkaProducer instead of setting INTERCEPTOR_CLASSES_CONFIG. Spring Boot samples need no change — the auto-configured ProducerPostProcessor is transparent.

Decouple header injection from span creation in SentryKafkaProducer so that distributed tracing works for background workers, @scheduled jobs, and startup publishers that have no active span. Restructure send() to match the SentryFeignClient/OkHttp pattern: - isIgnored: pure delegate, no headers, no span - No active span: inject headers from PropagationContext, no span - Active span: start child span, inject headers, wrap callback Also simplify the implementation: - Rename injectHeaders to maybeInjectHeaders with encapsulated try/catch (matches Feign's maybeAddTracingHeaders pattern) - Remove outer try/catch around span setup - Remove redundant span.isNoOp() early-return branch - Remove redundant isFinished() guards before finish() calls Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>

📜 Description
Restructure
SentryKafkaProducer.send()to inject trace headers even when no active span exists, and simplify the overall flow to match theSentryFeignClient/SentryOkHttpInterceptorpattern.Before: When
scopes.getSpan()returned null (background workers,@Scheduledjobs, startup publishers),send()short-circuited to the bare delegate — nosentry-trace,baggage, orsentry-task-enqueued-timeheaders were injected. Distributed tracing silently broke for these common Kafka patterns.After: Three clean branches matching the Feign/OkHttp/RestTemplate convention:
isIgnored→ pure delegate (no headers, no span)PropagationContext, no spanAlso simplifies the implementation:
injectHeaders→maybeInjectHeaderswith encapsulated try/catch (matches Feign'smaybeAddTracingHeaders)span.isNoOp()early-return branch (wrapping a no-op span callback is harmless)isFinished()guards —Span.finish()is already idempotent viacompareAndSet💡 Motivation and Context
Addresses review finding R10-F001: producer drops trace headers when no active span exists. Background workers and
@Scheduledjobs are a primary Kafka producer pattern; losing distributed tracing for them contradicts the Queues product expectations.💚 How did you test it?
