 Resource spans now also carry a `url.domain` attribute holding that domain. The full URL remains available on `url.full`.
 
+`http.server` requests that resolve to a route are **unchanged** — those names were already low cardinality. Only requests the SDK cannot parameterize are affected.

 Some consequences to be aware of:
 
 The graphql operation name and the resolver field path are supplied by the client, so they are no longer part of a span name. They remain available on the `graphql.operation.name` and `graphql.field.path` attributes.

+The same applies to `tracesSampler`, which also runs at span start. A web framework matches the route
+_after_ that point, so an `http.server` span is named `GET` when your rule is evaluated — never
+`GET /health`. Name-based rules stop matching **silently**: no error, no warning, just unexpected quota
+usage. No route attribute is set at that point either, so match on `url.path`:
+
+```js
+Sentry.init({
+  // Before
+  tracesSampler: ({ name, inheritOrSampleWith }) => inheritOrSampleWith(name === 'GET /health' ? 0 : 1),
+
+  // After
+  tracesSampler: ({ attributes, inheritOrSampleWith }) =>
+    inheritOrSampleWith(attributes?.['url.path'] === '/health' ? 0 : 1),
+});
+```
+
+On `@sentry/nextjs` the incoming-request span comes from Next.js' own OpenTelemetry instrumentation, so
+match on `url.full` or `http.target` if `url.path` is absent. `normalizedRequest.url` is also available on
+the sampling context.
+
+Error grouping is **not** affected by the `http.server` change: the scope's transaction name still holds
+the full `${method} ${path}`.
