Include otelsdk to usage-metrics-dashboard

[marcosnav]

WIP, needs a couple checks:

1. Does the renv.lock look good?
2. manifest.json needs to be updated

My guess is that the URL should stay as posit.co

[karawoo]

yes, I think this URL should stay as-is. It's safe to just back out this change manually if you want.

@karawoo I'd love your input on this one, a couple things:

1. in order to include the otelsdk package, I had to add library(otelsdk) to the app file for renv to pick it up, even though we are not explicitly using it in the app but the package is a requirement for Shiny to write traces. Is this the right thing to do?
2. I also wanted to update the Shiny version of this app. For that, I removed anything related to renv first, then did renv::init() to pick up the updated version of Shiny (and otelsdk). Is this the right thing to do? Seems the Repositories.URL was renamed to https://packagemanager.posit.co/cran/latest while doing so.

yes, this is what I'd do

This works and is fine, assuming the app works with all the versions of the packages that you've snapshotted. Probably the easier way to is to leave the existing renv.lock file in place and do renv::update(packages = "shiny"). That will update shiny (and possibly also packages shiny depends on). Your way works too, it just results in more changes to the lockfile because you may have different versions of other packages that are now showing up as changed.
