feat: support custom properties on exception events#180
Merged
Conversation
Adds a Properties field to Exception plus a SlogAttrsAsProperties helper and WithPropertiesFn option for the slog capture handler. Custom keys flatten into the wire properties object next to the built-in ones; typed fields win on collision, so $lib / distinct_id / etc. can't be clobbered. Non-breaking — ExceptionInApiProperties stays intact. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

💡 Motivation and Context
Adds a Properties field to Exception, plus a SlogAttrsAsProperties helper and WithPropertiesFn option for the slog capture handler.
Closes #132
Exceptionnow has aPropertiesfield for attaching arbitrary key/value metadata to a captured exception. Custom keys are flattened into the event'spropertiesobject alongside the built-in ones. Reserved keys ($lib,$lib_version,distinct_id,$exception_list,$exception_fingerprint,$geoip_disable, system context) are preserved — colliding custom keys are ignored.NewSlogCaptureHandleraccepts a newWithPropertiesFnoption that returns custom properties perslog.Record. A ready-madeSlogAttrsAsPropertieshelper copies every slog attribute onto the event — the common case is a one-liner.💚 How did you test it?
Manually and with with tests.
