Pull request overview
Updates the MCP Gateway OTLP headers configuration across spec/schema/compiler so opentelemetry.headers is string-only and is passed through unchanged, and bumps the default MCP Gateway image version to one that accepts the new schema.
Changes:
- Updated MCP Gateway config JSON schemas to make
opentelemetry.headersastring(no object form). - Updated compiler rendering to emit OTLP headers as a string (removing the node-based conversion preamble).
- Bumped default MCP Gateway version to
v0.2.17and recompiled workflow lock files to reference it.

The generated JSON uses an unescaped shell expansion inside a JSON string ("headers": "${OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_HEADERS}"). If OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_HEADERS contains characters like quotes, backslashes, or newlines, the resulting gateway config will become invalid JSON. Consider JSON-escaping the env var value before inserting it into the config (without parsing it), or otherwise constraining/validating the allowed characters so the emitted config is always valid JSON.
| // When OTLP tracing is configured, add the opentelemetry section directly to the | ||
| // gateway config. The endpoint is written as a literal value (including GitHub Actions | ||
| // expressions such as ${{ secrets.X }} which GH Actions expands at runtime). | ||
| // Headers must be a JSON object per the gateway schema, so they are written via | ||
| // the bash variable ${_GH_AW_OTLP_HEADERS_JSON} which is set by the preamble | ||
| // generated just before the heredoc. traceId and spanId use ${VARIABLE_NAME} | ||
| // expressions which bash expands from the GITHUB_ENV values set by actions/setup. | ||
| // Headers are emitted as a JSON string via ${OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_HEADERS}, which bash | ||
| // expands at runtime from the job-level env var injected by injectOTLPConfig. | ||
| // traceId and spanId use ${VARIABLE_NAME} expressions expanded by bash from GITHUB_ENV. | ||

This change alters OTLP header rendering (removes the preamble + switches to string passthrough), but there isn’t a unit test asserting the new emitted gateway opentelemetry JSON (e.g., that headers is a JSON string and that no node/bash preamble is emitted). Adding a focused test for RenderJSONMCPConfig with GatewayConfig.OTLPEndpoint+OTLPHeaders would guard against regressions in config shape and heredoc output.

Summary
Updates the MCP Gateway Specification, JSON schemas, and compiler so that the
headersfield in theopentelemetryconfiguration is exclusively a string, removing the previously supported object form. The compiler passes the headers string through as-is via${OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_HEADERS}. The MCP Gateway version has been bumped to v0.2.17, which includes the updated schema that accepts string headers.Changes
