P2 Badge Restrict preview bypass to SDK-owned objects

Fresh evidence: although this guard now also checks original_type and preview, it still short-circuits on any user-supplied dict that includes "__truncated_preview__": true and those keys. If that dict also contains large extra fields and exceeds _OPENAI_TRACING_MAX_FIELD_BYTES, _truncate_json_value_for_limit returns it unchanged instead of delegating to _truncate_mapping_for_json_limit, so sanitization can still emit oversized span fields that get rejected or dropped by trace ingestion.
