## Why are these changes needed?

- Adds tracing docs page for AgentChat with Jaeger example 
- [x] Runtime tracing: Example code where tracing is done with the
SingleThreaded Runtime, logging all events
- [x] Custom event tracing: Example code logging messages returned from
`team.run_stream()`
- [ ] LLM span tracing .. depends on
https://github.com/microsoft/autogen/issues/5895
 - [ ] [TBD] Distributed tracing

## Open Questions

@ekzu 
- What is the recommended way to directly log custom events like
LLMCallEvents and ToolCallEvents? LogEventhandlers in user code that
become traced spans?
- Currenltly tool calls and their args are already logged (not sure
where this is done), but LLM call events are not. Should we include
samples on this?

## Checks

- [ ] I've included any doc changes needed for
<https://microsoft.github.io/autogen/>. See
<https://github.com/microsoft/autogen/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md> to
build and test documentation locally.
- [ ] I've added tests (if relevant) corresponding to the changes
introduced in this PR.
- [ ] I've made sure all auto checks have passed.

Building the AutoGen Documentation

AutoGen documentation is based on the sphinx documentation system and uses the myst-parser to render markdown files. It uses the pydata-sphinx-theme to style the documentation.

Prerequisites

Ensure you have all of the dev dependencies for the autogen-core package installed. You can install them by running the following command from the root of the python repository:

uv sync
source .venv/bin/activate

Building Docs

To build the documentation, run the following command from the root of the python repository:

poe --directory ./packages/autogen-core/ docs-build

To serve the documentation locally, run the following command from the root of the python repository:

poe --directory ./packages/autogen-core/ docs-serve

[!NOTE] Sphinx will only rebuild files that have changed since the last build. If you want to force a full rebuild, you can delete the ./packages/autogen-core/docs/build directory before running the docs-build command.

Versioning the Documentation

The current theme - pydata-sphinx-theme - supports switching between versions of the documentation.

To version the documentation, you need to create a new version of the documentation by copying the existing documentation to a new directory with the version number. For example, to create a new version of the documentation for version 0.1.0, you would run the following command:

How are various versions built? - TBD.
