hi yall, i am trying to use prefect and logfire/instrumenting logfire correctly, but have been running into a lot of issues with orphaned spans (we try to wrap each prefect flow/task in its own span for easier to read logs). would love to know if anyone has experience using the prefect/logfire and has tips

hi @Raymond Lin for client-side (flows etc) or server-side (the prefect server and its operations)?
i think the tldr on the client-side stuff is that we already emit OTEL spans that logfire picks up, i'd think there's no reason to once-again wrap flows/tasks in spans
