Recurring patterns

The bug types that recur here, drawn from past fixes, not open vulnerabilities.

Denial of Service: Slow or unresponsive downstream collectors can cause infinite queue growth inside the ChunkedCollector, ultimately leading to memory exhaustion (OOM) and service crashes. A timeout mechanism is critical to cap memory utilization.

Denial of Service: Unsafe index access on query results returned from the InfluxDB storage backend can cause runtime panics and crash the application if a trace contains no children spans or returns empty series data.
