Laminar Quickstart Trace

Workflow

1. Confirm runtime (Node/TS vs Python), Laminar backend target (cloud vs self-hosted), and availability of LMNR_PROJECT_API_KEY.
2. Build the smallest runnable demo using manual spans only; tag the trace with a unique run id for easy filtering.
3. Run the script and direct the user to the Traces view; filter by tag or metadata to find the trace.
4. If traces do not show quickly, retry with batching disabled and call Laminar.flush().
