Should likely specify the value used here, using uuids as for trace ids would work well, imo.

Conversation id can be anything because it usually comes from the model provider (I believe OpenAI has ints as conversationId). I'll mention it.
For sessions, I'd rather not specify the exact value because that concept still requires more thinking and it is not yet fully defined how it will work, here I named it more as an example of how it would work under sentry.span_group, and until we have more details on it, I'd keep the value as vague/open as possible.
Conversation ID comes from the model provider and must be stringified. Session ID is early-phase and shown only as an example, not a definition. Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>

Add develop docs for the
sentry.span_groupattribute namespace — a lightweight, extensible mechanism for logically grouping spans across trace boundaries.This is needed for AI conversations and user sessions, which don't map cleanly to a single trace (a conversation can span multiple traces, or multiple conversations can exist in one trace).
