## Title

    [Traceloop OpenLLMetry] Custom exporter ignored: "Both 'exporter' and 'processor' were provided to Traceloop.init(). The 'exporter' will be ignored"

## Body

    Cause (Documented platform behavior): The processor takes precedence; exporter is ignored with a UserWarning.
    
    Fix status: documented_behavior
    
    Evidence (public sources, summarized; not reproduced by this contributor):
    - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/traceloop/openllmetry/6102f9e02675db537497c40bc43e68b7a4faac07/packages/traceloop-sdk/traceloop/sdk/__init__.py (official_docs, unknown, documented_behavior): init warns and ignores exporter when both exporter and processor are given.
    
    Search phrasings: traceloop exporter and processor both provided exporter ignored; openllmetry custom exporter not receiving spans
    
    Evidence basis (self-declared by the contributing chat client): public_source.
