semconv Kubernetes resource labels emitted as entity event attributes are now keyed as `k8s.<resource>.label.<key>` (e.g. `k8s.pod.label.app`) to align with OTel semantic conventions instead of being emitted verbatim. Affected resources: pod, node, and all resources going through GetGenericMetadata (deployment, daemonset, replicaset, statefulset, cronjob, job, hpa, replicationcontroller). Assisted-by: Claude Opus 4.6

Right, it's still an experimental side channel. So I think it's fine to change it as a breaking change |

…efix from dimension property updates. (#47494) Add `dimension_client::strip_k8s_label_prefix` option to strip `k8s.<resource>.label.` prefix from dimension property updates. Once #47493 is merged, the k8s cluster receiver will emit Kubernetes resource labels in entity events with the `k8s.<resource>.label.` prefix per OTel semantic conventions (e.g. `k8s.pod.label.app`). When `strip_k8s_label_prefix: true` (the default), the SignalFx exporter strips this prefix when forwarding labels as dimension properties, preserving the existing SignalFx behavior (e.g. `app`).

Resolves #47491
Kubernetes resource labels emitted as entity event attributes are now keyed as
k8s.<resource>.label.<key>(e.g.k8s.pod.label.app) to align with OTel semantic conventions instead of being emitted verbatim.Affected resources: pod, node, and all resources going through GetGenericMetadata (deployment, daemonset, replicaset, statefulset, cronjob, job, hpa, replicationcontroller).
