Decorator for tracking traces.

This decorator wraps functions to automatically create and manage [Trace](/sdk/python/references/logger/components/trace)
objects for tracking trace operations, including inputs, outputs, and metadata.
The decorated function must be called within a @trace or @span decorated context.
