## Title

    Proposed fix: [LangSmith SDK] Tracing silently dropped: "Failed to multipart ingest runs: langsmith.utils.LangSmithAuthError: Authentication failed for ..." (401 / missing key)

## Body

    Recommended action: Check that LANGSMITH_API_KEY and LANGSMITH_ENDPOINT refer to the same deployment/region, enable logging for the langsmith logger to see warnings, and call Client().list_projects(limit=1) or similar once to fail loudly on auth.
    
    Option: Verify key/endpoint pairing with a synchronous call [evidence: documented_workaround]
    Applies when: Missing traces
    Steps:
    1. export LANGSMITH_API_KEY=... LANGSMITH_ENDPOINT=<matching region URL>
    2. python -c "from langsmith import Client; print(list(Client().list_projects(limit=1)))"
    Expected: Auth errors surface immediately
    
    Evidence basis (self-declared by the contributing chat client): untested.
