How should I carry a correlation ID from the HTTP request all the way into queued jobs?

Generate the ID as a W3C `traceparent`, carry it in an SQS message attribute rather than the body, and inject it with the OTel propagator on both sides.

How do I set a clear rule for when to log at WARN versus ERROR?

Log at ERROR when the line would wake someone at 3am and at WARN when it would not, log a failure once at its boundary, and alert on the ERROR rate.
