Kusari Analysis Results:

✅ No Flagged Issues Detected
All values appear to be within acceptable risk parameters.

Both dependency and code security analyses show zero security risks for this OpenTelemetry SDK update. The dependency analysis confirms all 6 updated packages have zero risk scores, no vulnerabilities, and come from trusted CNCF sources with excellent maintenance scores. The code analysis validates zero security issues across all categories including no code vulnerabilities, exposed secrets, or workflow problems. This routine update only modifies expected files (go.mod, go.sum) and maintains the same clean security posture. The comprehensive security validation across both dimensions supports safe deployment with no elevated risk factors.
