 *Part of `docs/roadmap/` — see [`intro.md`](intro.md) for platform/background context and [`summary.md`](summary.md) for how every phase fits together. Prev: [`phase-2.md`](phase-2.md) · Next: [`phase-4.md`](phase-4.md)*
 
-**Status:** Not started
+**Status:** In progress
 
-**Message:** Depends on Phase 2's `common/telemetry.py` bootstrap existing first.
+**Message:** Started 2026-10-12. Phase 2 got `sanctions` tracing through zero-code
+`opentelemetry-instrument`, so no `common/telemetry.py` exists yet. Build step 1
+writes that bootstrap by hand, in the code, to replace the wrapper.
 
 **Time-box:** 2–3 evenings. This is the biggest phase and the heart of the task.
