Technical summary

OpenLLMetry OpenAI instrumentation can miss token usage enrichment when usage data needs tiktoken fallback calculation.

Use enrich_token_usage with tiktoken to add prompt/completion token counts to OpenAI spans when API usage is absent or incomplete.

This issue is about OpenAI instrumentation token usage, so enrichment should happen on tracing spans without changing the API response.

The snippet uses native project logic; token usage from the provider response is merged into the OpenTelemetry span before export. The helper result is consumed directly by the patched code path.

After applying the patch, keep the import smoke test for the affected package:

python3 -c "import openllmetry; print('smoke test OK')"
