Once a root span is registered (via _get_or_set_root_span_context), subsequent calls with a new span parameter are ignored. Document this behavior clearly in the function's docstring.

Args:
span: Current span to potentially set as root span

Returns:
context: The appropriate context with root span set

🛠️ Refactor suggestion

Improve test assertion to provide meaningful validation.

The current assertion assert len(all_trace_ids) >= 1 is essentially meaningless since spans always have trace IDs. Consider making the test more valuable by:

  1. Documenting expected behavior: Specify whether separate traces are expected or acceptable
  2. Testing trace relationships: Verify parent-child relationships within traces instead of requiring a single trace
  3. Adding boundary conditions: Test both scenarios where traces are unified and where they're separate
-    # With the current implementation using framework's context to infer trace,
-    # agent handoffs may create separate traces, so we verify spans exist
-    # rather than requiring them to share the same trace ID
-    assert len(all_trace_ids) >= 1
+    # With the current implementation using framework's context to infer trace,
+    # agent handoffs may create separate traces. Verify that we have meaningful
+    # trace relationships and that the main chat span is a root span.
+    assert len(all_trace_ids) >= 1, f"Expected at least 1 trace ID, got {len(all_trace_ids)}"
+    assert main_chat_span.parent is None, "Main chat span should be a root span"
+    
+    # Verify that tool spans have proper parent relationships within their respective traces
+    for span in [search_tool_span, modify_tool_span]:
+        assert span.parent is not None, f"Tool span {span.name} should have a parent"

‼️ IMPORTANT
Carefully review the code before committing. Ensure that it accurately replaces the highlighted code, contains no missing lines, and has no issues with indentation. Thoroughly test & benchmark the code to ensure it meets the requirements.

In

around lines 361 to 364, the assertion only checks that there is at least one
trace ID, which is trivial. Improve the test by explicitly documenting whether
multiple traces are expected or allowed, then enhance the assertions to verify
the parent-child relationships between spans within traces to confirm correct
trace linkage. Additionally, add test cases or conditions to cover scenarios
where traces are unified and where they are separate, ensuring the test
validates meaningful trace behavior rather than just presence of trace IDs.
