Changed

• ⚠️ Breaking Change: go.opentelemetry.io/otel/sdk/metric now applies a default cardinality limit of 2000 to comply with the Metrics SDK specification recommendation. New attribute sets are dropped when the cardinality limit is reached. The measurement of these sets are aggregated into a special attribute set containing attribute.Bool("otel.metric.overflow", true).

PR Summary

Low Risk
Lockfile-only change with no application code edits; trace SDK usage should behave the same, though upstream 1.44.0 includes a metrics SDK cardinality default that only affects code paths using sdk/metric (pulled indirectly here).

Overview
Bumps go.opentelemetry.io/otel/sdk from 1.43.0 to 1.44.0 in go.mod, with matching checksum updates in go.sum. The resolver also refreshes the indirect golang.org/x/sys pin (0.43.0 → 0.45.0) and go.opentelemetry.io/otel/sdk/metric to 1.44.0.

There are no Go source changes—only module lockfile updates, typical of a Dependabot OpenTelemetry SDK upgrade.
