Summary
Updates the Spans and Traces documentation to reflect the new error unwrapping functionality introduced in PR #1907.
Changes
unwrapErrorexportsetSpanWithErrorautomatically unwraps nested.causechains to surface root cause errorsContext
PR #1907 introduces a new
unwrapErrorutility function that traverses error.causechains to find root cause errors. This is particularly useful because Node.jsfetch()wraps underlying errors (like undici'sHeadersTimeoutError) in genericTypeError: fetch failedmessages. ThesetSpanWithErrorfunction now automatically uses this utility to record root cause errors in spans.Related to #1907
