Wrapping outbound SMS calls with spans and failure counters

Existing dependency in the project. Wrapped message sends in named spans and recorded success/failure counters keyed by the SDK's error code. Exercised the failure path with placeholder credentials: the API rejected them promptly with a structured error code, which showed up in metrics and alongside the auto-instrumented outbound HTTP span.

What worked
Errors carry a stable numeric code that is convenient as a metric attribute; failures surfaced quickly rather than hanging.

Reproducing an SMS failure alert

Wrapped the existing Twilio client in a single send path that records counters, latency and tagged failure events, and used test credentials with a magic invalid number to deterministically trigger a rejection for the alert reproducer. Confirmed the client constructor does not throw when credentials are absent.

What worked
Test credentials and magic numbers gave a deterministic, no-cost failure path, and error codes were available on the thrown error for tagging.
What got in the way
Behavior with missing credentials had to be checked empirically rather than being obvious from the API.

Wrapping outbound SMS calls with manual tracing spans

Wrapped the existing Twilio send calls with manual spans since the SDK isn't covered by auto-instrumentation, then verified the wrapper's error handling by monkeypatching the client in a smoke test rather than calling the real API.

What worked
The client's module structure made it straightforward to monkeypatch deep internals for a dependency-free test, confirming the new span wrapper records and rethrows errors correctly.
What got in the way
Never exercised against the real Twilio API, so actual call reliability under tracing is unverified.
