+# Reproduction for sentry-javascript#19815
+
+**Issue:** https://github.com/getsentry/sentry-javascript/issues/19815
+
+## Description
+
+When tracing is disabled (no `tracesSampleRate` set), all errors from different
+requests are assigned the **same** `traceId`. Without an active span per request,
+the SDK never creates a fresh propagation context for each incoming request, so
+every event ends up on the same static trace.
+
+## Steps to Reproduce
+
+1. Install dependencies:
+   ```bash
+   npm install
+   ```
+
+2. (Optional) Set your Sentry DSN to also see events in Sentry UI:
+   ```bash
+   export SENTRY_DSN=https://<key>@sentry.io/<project>
+   ```
+
+3. Run the automated test (starts the server, fires 5 requests, then exits):
+   ```bash
+   bash test.sh
+   ```
+
+   Or run the server manually and send requests yourself:
+   ```bash
+   npm start
+   # in another terminal:
+   curl http://localhost:3000
+   curl http://localhost:3000
+   curl http://localhost:3000
+   ```
+
+## Expected Behavior
+
+Each request produces a **unique** `traceId`, so unrelated errors are not
+grouped into the same trace.
+
+## Actual Behavior
+
+All requests share the same `traceId`. Example output:
+
+```
+[request #1] propagation traceId: e551c9b4398346c88486608a44c0a2a2
+[request #2] propagation traceId: e551c9b4398346c88486608a44c0a2a2
+[request #3] propagation traceId: e551c9b4398346c88486608a44c0a2a2
+[request #4] propagation traceId: e551c9b4398346c88486608a44c0a2a2
+[request #5] propagation traceId: e551c9b4398346c88486608a44c0a2a2
+```
+
+This creates a false impression in Sentry that unrelated errors from different
+requests belong to the same execution flow.
