Why this is canonical
'Observability' is the established term of art for the discipline of understanding system state through metrics, logs, and traces. The layer suffix positions this as the substrate beneath all AI monitoring, and .ai marks it as the agent-era coordinate where observability becomes a first-class infrastructure concern.
