Description
Implements end-to-end correlation ID tracing across the backend system to enable correlation of log lines, traces, domain events, background jobs, and outbound webhooks with a shared identifier. This significantly improves incident debugging and latency attribution across async boundaries.

Problem
Previously, requests, emitted domain events, background jobs, and outbound webhooks couldn't be correlated. A single logical operation (e.g., a payout) produced log lines and traces with no shared identifier, making it very difficult to debug incidents and attribute latency across asynchronous boundaries.

Solution
Implementation Overview
HTTP Edge - CorrelationIdInterceptor
Generates or accepts X-Correlation-ID from request headers
Stores correlation ID in AppLoggerService request context (AsyncLocalStorage)
Adds correlation ID to response headers
Domain Events - EventsService
Automatically includes correlation ID from logger context in event emissions
Sets correlation ID on event payloads and metadata
Added optional correlationId field to BaseEvent
BullMQ Jobs - JobsService
Stamps correlation ID onto job data via __correlationId field
Restores correlation ID in job processors before execution
Updated PayoutProcessor and WebhookProcessor to restore context
Outbound Webhooks - WebhookProcessor
Adds correlation ID to outbound webhook headers (X-Correlation-ID)
Enables client-side tracing across service boundaries
Logging - AppLoggerService
Enhanced with correlation ID support in RequestContext
Automatic correlation ID inclusion in all log statements
Files Changed
New Files:

correlation-id.interceptor.ts - HTTP edge interceptor
correlation-id.interceptor.spec.ts - Unit tests
correlation-id.integration.spec.ts - Integration tests
CORRELATION_ID_TRACING.md - Comprehensive documentation
Modified Files:

base.event.ts - Added correlationId field
events.service.ts - Auto-includes correlation ID
jobs.service.ts - Stamps/restores correlation ID
payout.processor.ts - Restores context
webhook.processor.ts - Restores context + adds to headers
app.module.ts - Registered interceptor globally
Documentation:

Updated CHANGELOG files for: jobs, webhooks, tracing, logger, events modules
Added comprehensive implementation guide
Testing
Unit Tests: Tests for CorrelationIdInterceptor covering generation, extraction, and context storage
Integration Tests: End-to-end flow tests covering HTTP → Events → Jobs → Webhooks
Backward Compatibility: Tests verify existing functionality works without correlation IDs
Concurrent Requests: Tests verify unique correlation IDs for parallel requests
Backward Compatibility
✅ Fully backward compatible

Existing HTTP requests without X-Correlation-ID work as before (new ID generated)
Existing events without correlation ID field work as before (field is optional)
Existing jobs without __correlationId field work as before (field is optional)
Existing webhook consumers without correlation ID handling work as before (header is optional)
Performance Impact
Minimal performance impact:

UUID generation: < 1ms per request
AsyncLocalStorage operations: < 0.1ms per context switch
Header addition: negligible
Log metadata enhancement: negligible
Usage Example
Client-side:

bash

Generate new correlation ID
curl https://api.example.com/health

Response: X-Correlation-ID:
Use existing correlation ID
curl https://api.example.com/health -H "X-Correlation-ID: my-id"
Server-side:

typescript
// Access correlation ID
const context = AppLoggerService.getRequestContext();
const correlationId = context?.correlationId;

Checklist
Implementation complete
Unit tests added
Integration tests added
CHANGELOG files updated
Documentation added
Backward compatibility verified
Code follows project conventions
Ready for review
closes #2156

- Add CorrelationIdInterceptor for HTTP edge correlation ID generation/extraction
- Store correlation ID in AppLoggerService request context (AsyncLocalStorage)
- Include correlation ID in domain events via EventsService
- Stamp correlation ID on BullMQ job data via JobsService
- Restore correlation ID in job processors (PayoutProcessor, WebhookProcessor)
- Add correlation ID to outbound webhook headers
- Wire CorrelationIdInterceptor globally in app.module.ts

Backward compatible - existing functionality works without correlation IDs.
