## AI interpretation — verify before relying

Adds distributed tracing to aiohttp HTTP client requests via OpenTelemetry, capturing request/response metadata and propagating trace context across service boundaries.

Verdict: Active, well-maintained instrumentation package in beta status with no known vulnerabilities, permissive licensing, and low install friction. Suitable for teams adopting OpenTelemetry tracing on async Python services, though beta status warrants testing before production deployment.
