 OpenTelemetry instrumentation for the [AWS Durable Execution SDK for Python](https://github.com/aws/aws-durable-execution-sdk-python).
 
+> **Note:** v0.1.0 reserves the package name. Instrumentation lands in v0.2.0.
+
 ## Overview
 
-This package provides automatic OpenTelemetry tracing for durable execution workflows, giving you visibility into step execution, waits, retries, and overall workflow performance.

-from aws_durable_execution_sdk_python_otel import instrument_durable_execution
-
-# Instrument the SDK (call once at module load)
-instrument_durable_execution()
