initialScope tags are not applied to events captured via Sentry.logger

[programming-with-ia]

Environment

SaaS (https://sentry.io/)

Steps to Reproduce

1. Configure initialScope with global tags in sentry.server.config.ts (or sentry.edge.config.ts):

   Sentry.init({
     dsn: process.env.SENTRY_DSN,
     initialScope: {
       tags: {
         microservice: "web"
       }
     }
   });

2. In a server-side file (e.g., @eden.server.ts), use the new Sentry.logger interface:

   import * as Sentry from "@sentry/nextjs";
   
   // ... inside a function
   Sentry.logger.info("Testing logger tags");

3. View the captured log event in the Sentry dashboard.

Expected Result

The event generated by Sentry.logger.info should automatically include the microservice: "web" tag defined in the initialScope, matching the behavior of Sentry.captureException or Sentry.captureMessage.

Actual Result

The event is captured successfully, but the microservice tag is missing from the "Tags" section in the issue details.

@programming-with-ia thanks for reaching out. Can confirm this behaviour, we'll look into it.

Tags not applying to logs (and metrics) is intentional. We will only support attributes: https://develop.sentry.dev/sdk/telemetry/attributes/.

We already have a setAttribute method, but this doesn't get applied to logs just yet. Once we have #18184 merged this will work.

@AbhiPrasad thanks for clarifying, closing this one then.
