The fail-open boundary is in the right shared startup path. The authenticated branch cannot fall through to anonymous tracing.
The note inline on execution.py is what I'd want addressed before this merges.
Someone else should sign off on this too: it changes how authentication/authorization failures are reported and whether execution continues after AMP refuses a credential.

The fail-open boundary and no-anonymous-downgrade behavior look right. I could not verify the deployed package matrix or production tracing rollout.
The note inline on execution.py is what I'd want addressed before this merges.
Someone else should sign off on this too: the change handles authentication failures and changes how they are reported: rejected credentials now produce a warning rather than aborting execution.

… failing it An authenticated run asks AMP for a trace grant as it starts, and a refusal raised out of `begin_execution` — so when a `crewai login` expired or a token was revoked, every traced crew and flow failed with "AMP trace grant request failed (HTTP 401)" before it did any work. A trace is a record of the run, not a condition of it. Now the run goes on untraced and logs one warning naming the fix: for a 401/403, "Run `crewai login` again to trace your runs"; otherwise that the run itself is unaffected. It never falls back to an anonymous upload of a logged-in user's run (the grant client's "never downgrade a supplied credential" still holds). The test that pinned the raise now pins the run completing, the context restored, nothing uploaded, and the warning. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
…ogin `tracing_credential()` sends CREWAI_USER_PAT first, then the platform integration token, then the saved `crewai login` — so "run `crewai login` again" was the wrong fix for two of the three, and sent somebody to refresh a credential that was never the problem. `tracing_credential_source()` follows the same order (one private resolver behind both), and the warning names the credential that was refused and the fix for that one. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
The grant client refuses a blank credential in its constructor with the same TraceGrantError a refused grant raises, and the constructor sat outside the boundary — so that case still failed the run. It is inside now. The new tests also import the grants module one way only. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Resolve the tracing credential and its source once, as a pair, and use that pair for both the grant request and the warning. Reading the source again after the request could name a credential AMP never saw. Also assert a refused grant never builds a span exporter.

Approving. A trace is observability, not a precondition of the user’s run. An expired login taking down the crew before it does work is the wrong failure boundary.
The no-downgrade invariant is preserved. When an explicit credential exists (PAT, platform integration token, or saved login), a grant refusal logs once and the run continues untraced. It never falls back to anonymous/ephemeral upload, so a logged-in user’s run is not silently moved into a weaker ownership tier.
Credential identity is resolved once. _start_tracing gets (source, token) from a single resolve_tracing_credential() call, sends that token, and retains that source for the warning. A PAT disappearing or an integration token appearing while the request is in flight cannot make the warning name a credential AMP never saw. The precedence stays PAT → platform integration token → saved login.
The failure boundary is narrow. Only TraceGrantError from client construction or grant creation is downgraded. Product/runtime exceptions outside the grant path still propagate normally. Blank supplied credentials are handled inside the same boundary.
Lifecycle cleanup is correct. On refusal, the unopened tracing ExitStack is closed and no execution trace is activated. The run executes with no exporter, nothing uploads, and execution context is restored after both sync and async kickoffs.
The warning is actionable and source-specific:
- bad
CREWAI_USER_PAT→ replace the personal access token - bad platform token → inspect that environment’s integration token
- expired saved login → run
crewai login - non-auth AMP failure → run unaffected, status named
I ran the full targeted telemetry and tracing suites locally: 587 passed, 2 skipped. All CI is green across Python 3.10–3.13, lint, typing, CodeQL, security review, pip-audit, and Bugbot.
The duplicate LiteLLM security-floor work is no longer part of this PR’s visible diff now that #7835 has merged; this branch is back to the five tracing files, which keeps attribution clean.
One operational tradeoff, not blocking: a run can now succeed without the traces an operator expected. The warning is clear, but this path should also be observable in aggregate (counter/event) if we want to notice a fleet-wide credential expiry without waiting for someone to read local logs.

crewai evalon 1.15.23: when acrewai loginexpires, every traced run fails —AMP trace grant request failed (HTTP 401)— before the crew does any work. An authenticated run asks AMP for a trace grant as it starts, and a refusal raised straight out ofbegin_execution.A trace is a record of the run, not a condition of it. Now the run goes on untraced and logs one warning that names the fix:
(for other statuses: "…could not grant a trace (HTTP 503). The run itself is unaffected.") It never falls back to an anonymous upload of a logged-in user's run — the grant client's "never downgrade a supplied credential" still holds, and its own tests are unchanged.

Medium Risk
Changes kickoff/tracing startup on the critical path for authenticated runs; behavior shifts from hard failure to silent untraced execution, which is safer for users but could hide misconfigured tracing until logs are read.
Overview
When CrewAI AMP refuses an authenticated trace grant (expired login, bad PAT, etc.), kickoff no longer raises — the crew or flow continues untraced instead of failing before work starts.
_start_tracinginexecution.pynow resolves credentials once viaresolve_tracing_credential()(returns(source, token)for PAT, integration token, or saved login), wraps grant client creation andcreate()inTraceGrantErrorhandling, tears down the trace stack, and logs a single WARNING whose text names the credential that was actually sent and the right fix (401/403 vs other errors). It does not fall back to ephemeral/anonymous upload for a run that already had credentials.grants.pyaddsresolve_tracing_credentialandtracing_credential_source();tracing_credential()delegates to the shared resolver. Tests replace the old “grant failure raises” expectation with coverage for sync/async untraced runs, per-source warnings, stable source after env changes mid-request, and blank credentials.Reviewed by Cursor Bugbot for commit 32e2276.
