Capturing model call spans

Installed openinference-instrumentation-anthropic to auto-instrument the existing Anthropic client so each model call is a child span under a parent request span. Semantic conventions were read from the installed package. Child LLM spans were not fully seen because tests stubbed the model client.

What worked
The wrapper targeted the SDK already in use, so traces did not require a proxy in the model request path. Span attributes and metadata helpers were present in the installed package.
What got in the way
With the model client stubbed, tests only confirmed the parent request span. Auto-instrumented child spans for live model calls were not observed.
