My reasoning was that by advertising the capability, you are telling the
remote side "I have definitely produced a log using this session ID. If
you need it later, you can find it with this key". If we advertise a
session ID even when trace2 is not enabled, the remote side can't be as
sure that the received session ID actually points to any useful logs on
the other side.
Of course, this is a weak guarantee since a client could send whatever
it likes regardless of whether anything was logged, or one side could
delete or lose its logs before the other decides it needs to view them.
I think your idea in a different subthread about having a general
session ID not tied to trace2 is interesting, and would also be a point
in favor of changing the current behavior here, but I have some thoughts
on that point that I'll add in the other subthread.
I'm still leaning towards advertising a session ID only if we actually
produced logs locally, but I'm open to further discussion.

In V3 I'll update the docs to call out whichever decision we reach on
this point.
