Summary

  • add per-invocation run IDs and resumable journey IDs to classic capgo init
  • persist resume lineage and enrich existing onboarding-v2 milestones plus lifecycle boundaries
  • preserve terminal replay, analytics opt-out, and the existing markSnag/sendEvent delivery path

Scope

  • classic capgo init only; no build init, frontend, backend, replay delivery, or generic prompt instrumentation changes
  • 460 additions and 30 deletions (490 total changed lines)

Test plan

  • bun run cli:check
  • focused init telemetry, replay, guardrail, and analytics suites
  • CLI lint, typecheck, build, and final whole-change review

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added telemetry for CLI initialization, including milestones, resume and restart tracking, app scoping, and explicit completion, cancellation, or failure outcomes.
    • Preserved telemetry metadata across resumed sessions and supported replay-session correlation.
    • Added telemetry opt-out support; analytics failures do not interrupt initialization.
  • Documentation

    • Added a design specification covering initialization telemetry identities, events, persistence, and opt-out behavior.
  • Tests

    • Added comprehensive coverage for telemetry, progress handling, lifecycle events, and command integration.

Review Change Stack

Warning

Review limit reached

You’ve reached a temporary PR review limit under our Fair Usage Limits Policy.

Your recent review volume is higher than typical usage, so adaptive limits are currently applied.

Next review available in: 41 minutes

Enable usage-based reviews in Billing to review now. Otherwise, wait until the next included review is available.
You're only billed for reviews past your plan's rate limits ($0.25/file).

How can I continue?

After more reviews become available, a review can be triggered using the @coderabbitai review command as a PR comment. Alternatively, push new commits to this PR.

To avoid repeated limits, reduce automatic review volume by pausing incremental auto-reviews earlier, using label-based review opt-in, excluding WIP or generated PR titles, or requesting reviews manually when the PR is ready. If your team needs uninterrupted high-volume reviews, an organization admin can enable usage-based reviews.

How do review limits work?

CodeRabbit enforces per-developer PR review limits for each organization. Most developers receive the normal plan review availability.

For paid Pro and Pro+ PR reviews, CodeRabbit uses adaptive limits for sustained high-volume activity. When a developer's recent PR review activity reaches the 95th percentile or higher among CodeRabbit users, additional reviews become available more gradually as earlier reviews age out of the rolling window.

Please refer docs for additional details.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The CLI now creates and persists init telemetry metadata, tracks resume and restart decisions, scopes events to selected resources, records lifecycle outcomes, and preserves replay fallback behavior. Dedicated telemetry tests and an aggregate test script were added. A design specification documents the identity and event contract.

Changes

Init telemetry

Layer / File(s) Summary
Telemetry contract and controller
cli/src/init/telemetry.ts, docs/superpowers/specs/...
Defines journey and run metadata, resume handling, lifecycle events, scoped milestones, optional delivery, and malformed-data tolerance.
Resume and resource scoping
cli/src/init/command.ts, cli/test/test-init-telemetry.mjs
Restores telemetry from progress, records resume decisions, handles restart state, and scopes telemetry to the selected organization and app.
Milestones and run outcomes
cli/src/init/command.ts, cli/test/test-init-telemetry.mjs
Records explicit cancelled, failed, and completed outcomes. Milestones use active telemetry with replay fallback.
Telemetry test execution
cli/package.json, cli/test/test-init-telemetry.mjs
Adds the telemetry test script and runs it from the aggregate test command.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to c25b3

This change adds resumable onboarding telemetry, but a rejected or failed resume can leave prior app and journey context attached, misattributing later lifecycle events; completion may also be omitted if an optional post-completion lookup fails. The telemetry contract and validation tests need alignment, so merge should wait for these bounded correctness issues to be fixed or explicitly accepted.

2 issues found and verified against the latest diff

Confidence score: 4/5

  • In cli/src/init/command.ts, the onboarding-run-started event is emitted before org resolution on fresh capgo init, so it can be permanently stored with an empty org_id due to the once guard, which can skew onboarding attribution and org-level analytics — move emission until after org id is known or allow a corrective re-emit/update.
  • In cli/src/init/command.ts, markInitSnag now going through recordMilestone means --no-analytics can short-circuit before markSnag fallback runs, so canceled/canceled-appid-conflict snags may never be recorded and failure diagnostics become incomplete — ensure the fallback path still executes when analytics is disabled.

--no-analytics already set CAPGO_DISABLE_TELEMETRY before this PR, and sendEvent returned immediately under that environment. The new enabled=false guard preserves that behavior and matches the contract that opt-out emits no telemetry. No change is needed.

The fresh path validates the API key, checks saved progress, then emits before organization selection; resumed runs include the saved organization. This matches the approved timing after authentication and progress validation but before the prompt or step one. The contract also states that org and app attribution continue once known. Moving this event would delay run start past onboarding work, so no change is needed.

1448-1452: 🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Reset telemetry context on the generic resume fallback.

Line 1450 stores savedAppId before the resume prompt and target restoration. The catch at Lines 1607-1616 returns to the fresh flow without clearing that scope. If the fresh flow exits before Line 5566 overwrites it, onboarding-run-ended can be attributed to the saved app.

Clear the telemetry scope before returning from the catch and add a regression test for this path.

This follows from the supplied tryResumeOnboarding and telemetry-controller snippets.
