Ignacy Łątka 16ad44bb0e test(telemetry): pin the wire format and what a dead collector costs (#736)
Two test files that look at what #570's exporter actually *does*, plus
the configuration holes they exposed.

The suite on #570 proves the exporter is **configured** right - the url,
the headers, the timeouts, all read off the constructor. Nothing looked
at the request that comes out of it, or at what happens when the
collector does not answer. Both gaps are invisible from inside Argent by
design: a failed export never reaches the caller, and an OTLP exporter
counts any 2xx as delivered.

| | |
|---|---|
| **`otel-wire.test.ts`** | Captures the real exporter's request off a
loopback socket: uncompressed OTLP/JSON on `POST /v1/logs`, where each
field the ingestion schema reads actually sits, the batch-size cap, and
connection reuse. |
| **`otel-unreachable.test.ts`** | Drives the same exporter at a silent
socket, a refused port, a 503, a 401 and a 204, and asserts each drain
finishes inside its deadline and what the collector really received. |
| **`src/otel.ts`** | Two holes the tests exposed: `compression` and the
six OTLP certificate variables are now settled in code instead of left
to the environment. |

**No docs update needed** - no user-facing capability, CLI surface,
config key, flow file or MCP tool changed.

<details>
<summary><b>The two source fixes</b></summary>

**`compression` was the one OTLP knob still left to the environment.**
With `OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_COMPRESSION=gzip` (or its `_LOGS_` variant) set
- and a machine already running OpenTelemetry has it set for its own
collector - argent gzips its batches. Nothing downstream notices: a
gzipped 2xx is a delivered batch, while the request this suite and the
deploy-time smoke test are written against quietly stops being the
request argent sends. `createExporter` now passes `compression`
explicitly, which beats both variables. Unlike the header channel, where
the SDK *merges* whatever the code does not set and the variables have
to be cleared outright, one explicit value settles this.

**The certificate variables could hang the command outright.** The SDK
resolves
`OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_{,LOGS_}{CERTIFICATE,CLIENT_CERTIFICATE,CLIENT_KEY}`
with a synchronous `fs.readFileSync` while the exporter is constructed,
and only then discards the https agent it built from them in favour of
the explicit `httpAgentOptions`. The file is read for nothing - and a
path that never answers hangs the command that emitted the event,
uninterruptibly, on `getClient()`'s path. Measured with a fifo that has
no writer: `createExporter` never returned (killed at 12s); with the
variables cleared, 1.0 ms. They join the header pair in the list cleared
across the constructor and restored on the way out.

Some source prose was also wrong about the SDK and is corrected: it does
**not** reject a null attribute - it serializes one as an empty OTLP
value, `{"key":"cloud_agent","value":{}}` with `droppedAttributesCount:
0`, stored as and unrecoverable from a property that really was empty.
That is the actual reason `toAttributes` drops the key.

</details>

<details>
<summary><b>What the tests pin, and what they deliberately do
not</b></summary>

The wire test **mirrors** `OtelClient.emit` rather than calling it:
`getClient()` resolves its endpoint from the hard-coded
`OTLP_LOGS_ENDPOINT`, and that being unredirectable is the
anti-exfiltration property the client is meant to have, so there is
deliberately no seam to aim it at a test server. `otel-endpoint.test.ts`
covers the other half against the real emit path - `SERVICE_NAME`, the
logger name, event-name-as-body, the dropping of null/undefined
properties - so a rename is caught there rather than in the mirror.

What enforces the drain budgets is the exporter's `timeoutMillis`, *not*
the processor's `exportTimeoutMillis`, which `forceFlush()` awaits
straight past. Measured against a silent socket: `exportTimeout` 200 /
`timeoutMillis` 5000 drains in 5012 ms, the reverse in 202 ms.

503 is the one collector state where the batch is sent twice, and the
request count is the only thing that tells a retried failure from a
rejected one - the SDK reports the class, not the code. The retry itself
is only reachable while the next backoff fits in what is left of
`timeoutMillis`, so the jitter is pinned to its low draw and the
assertion turns on the round trip alone.

`httpAgentOptions.timeout` is the one option with no behavioural
coverage: it covers a socket stuck in *connect*, which needs an address
whose packets are dropped and is not portably reproducible here. It
stays pinned at the constructor and the docstring says so. Its
`keepAlive` half **is** covered, on the two batches of a single drain.

Real deadlines cost real time: `otel-unreachable.test.ts` waits ~5.1 s,
taking the package suite from ~0.9 s to ~5.3 s. Inherent to driving real
deadlines against real sockets.

</details>

<details>
<summary><b>Verification</b></summary>

- `npm test -w @argent/telemetry` - **336 passed**, 19 files
- `typecheck:tests`, `eslint --max-warnings 0`, `prettier --check`,
`knip`, `tsc --build` all clean; CI green
- **Mutation-tested**, whole-suite counts rather than one test each:

  | mutation in `src/otel.ts` | tests red |
  |---|---|
  | `compression` pin dropped | 2 |
  | `compression` pinned to `"gzip"` | 5 |
  | any one of the 8 cleared env-var names dropped | 1 each |
  | env-clearing loop deleted | 2 |
  | the `finally` that restores it deleted | 1 |
  | `timeoutMillis` dropped | 5 |
  | `httpAgentOptions` dropped, or just its `timeout` | 1 |
  | `keepAlive` flipped to `false` | 2 |
  | `installDiagLogger`'s `!isDebugEnabled()` guard removed | 1 |
| `maxExportBatchSize` 20 → 19 or 25; `scheduledDelayMillis` changed | 2
|
  | `SERVICE_NAME` renamed | 2 |
  | `LOGGER_NAME` changed | 1 |
  | record body no longer the event name | 4 |
  | `severityText` INFO → WARN | 1 |
  | null/undefined property skip removed | 2 |
  | `url` given a suffix the config did not set | 9 |

- **Absence assertions carry positive controls.** The certificate test
reads its answer out of a `Failed to read ` prefix that lives in a
transitive dependency, and the 204 case asserts an empty diag channel;
both would pass just as well against a dead observer. Each now proves
its own observer live first.
- **Flake-tested.** The 503 case's exact two-request assertion used to
turn on the jitter draw: standing a 500 ms collector delay in for a
loaded runner made it fail 20/20 (13 on the request count, 7 on
`Timeout` masking the error class). With the jitter pinned, 20/20 pass.

## Summary by CodeRabbit

- **Bug Fixes**
- Improved telemetry export reliability by preventing unintended
compression and certificate-related environment settings from affecting
exporter configuration.
- Ensured telemetry attributes with null or undefined values are omitted
rather than serialized as misleading empty values.
- Improved handling of unreachable or unresponsive telemetry collectors
with bounded failures and appropriate diagnostic reporting.
- Preserved connection reuse and batching behavior for more efficient
OTLP delivery.

- **Tests**
- Added comprehensive coverage for OTLP formatting, authorization,
batching, compression, certificates, connection handling, and failure
scenarios.

Ignacy Łątka 86a2668fb0 test: stop the suite and the process environment leaking into each other (#1058)
Test env leakage, both directions.

**Out** — six `argent-tools-client` suites pointed `HOME`/`USERPROFILE`
at a temp dir, deleted the dir, and never restored, so a `--no-isolate`
run handed every later file a home that no longer exists. Lifted the
redirect into a shared `test/helpers/home-redirect.ts`; the three suites
that already hand-rolled the save/restore moved onto it too.

**In** — `packages/telemetry` had no `setupFiles` at all, so its unit
tests read the developer's shell. Added
`test/setup/clear-telemetry-env.ts` (ARGENT_ prefix sweep +
`DO_NOT_TRACK` + the cloud-agent detector's markers), wired via
`setupFiles`, following the `@argent/tool-server` precedent — and
dropped the per-file guards it replaces.

**Pinned, not just fixed** — a `test/setup/assert-env-restored.ts` in
each of the three packages fails any suite that leaves a watched
variable changed, so dropping a restore can no longer pass. Each watches
`HOME` and `USERPROFILE`, plus `PATH` (`argent-tools-client`,
`tool-server`) or `CI` and the five `OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_*` (`telemetry`)
— the ones the sweep deliberately leaves ambient and individual tests
then set by hand. Each of the three `clear-*-env` setup files has a pin
test that re-imports it against planted sentinels;
`packages/tool-server`'s existing copy gains the mixed-case one it was
missing.

`packages/tool-server` is in the diff because it has the same two gaps:
it originated the prefix sweep (both pre-existing copies were
case-sensitive, so they are fixed together) and it has the largest
redirect surface of the three — 12 files hand-rolling the redirect plus
17 going through `scopeTempHome` — with no guard. It is already green
under one; deleting `scopeTempHome`'s restore turns 17 files red. Two of
its suites restored `HOME` by assigning back a saved value that can be
`undefined`, writing the string `"undefined"`; the guard caught both on
a host with no ambient `HOME`, and they are fixed here.

`windows-e2e.yml` runs seven `tool-server` files through the config this
branch edits, but neither that config nor `test/setup/**` was in its
`paths:` filter — so the new setup file would have reached
windows-latest unverified. Added both.

No docs change: test infrastructure only, no user-facing behaviour.

Fixes #1028
Fixes #839

Same-class problems found while reviewing this and filed rather than
folded in: #1068 (`argent-cli` fails under `DO_NOT_TRACK=1`), #1069 (the
`ios-device-runner` suites pin only `HOME`, so the redirect is inert on
Windows — its second half, the restore that wrote the string
`"undefined"`, is fixed here because the new guard caught it), #1070
(`useTempHome` shares one saved-`HOME` slot, so a nested `scopeHome()`
restores a deleted dir), #1071 (`tool-server`'s sweep is prefix-only, so
an exported `ADB_SERVER_SOCKET` reddens its suite), #1072
(`external-devices.test.ts` reads the developer's real
`~/.argent/providers`) and #1073 (`flow-script-environment.test.ts`
fails with no ambient `HOME`).

<details>
<summary>#1028 — probe results, six files</summary>

`test/zz-home-probe.test.ts` from the issue body, run per suite.
Vitest's sequencer orders by cached duration and falls back to file
size, so the cache is cleared before each run to keep the tiny probe
last:

```
rm -rf node_modules/.vite/vitest ../../node_modules/.vite/vitest
npx vitest run test/<suite>.test.ts test/zz-home-probe.test.ts --no-isolate --no-file-parallelism
```

| suite | before | after |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `launcher-state` | 1 failed \| 23 passed — `argent-state-test-…
exists=false` | 24 passed |
| `launcher-spawn` | 1 failed \| 8 passed — `argent-spawn-test-…
exists=false` | 9 passed |
| `launcher-version-gate` | 1 failed \| 7 passed —
`argent-version-gate-test-… exists=false` | 8 passed |

`argent-dup-test-… exists=false` | 11 passed |
| `launcher-exit` | 1 failed \| 1 passed — `argent-exit-test-…
exists=false` | 2 passed |
| `link-config` | 1 failed \| 43 passed — `argent-link-config-test-…
exists=false` | 44 passed |
| `launcher-sweep` (control, fixed in #713) | passed | passed |
| `launcher-ps-guard` (control, fixed in #713) | passed | passed |

The probe itself is a diagnostic and is not part of the diff —
`test/setup/assert-env-restored.ts` is the durable guard, and it needs
no `--no-isolate` to fire.
</details>

<details>
<summary>#839 — the stated repro is stale; here is what is actually
left</summary>

The issue was filed 2026-08-18. #714 landed 2026-08-19 and
hand-enumerated the variables inside `index.test.ts` (a
`CONSENT_ENV_KEYS` `beforeEach`) and `base-props.test.ts` (eight
`delete`s). On `aa90873b5` all three named repros are green:

```
$ DO_NOT_TRACK=1            npx vitest run --root packages/telemetry   → 319 passed
$ ARGENT_TELEMETRY=0        npx vitest run --root packages/telemetry   → 319 passed
$ CURSOR_AGENT_WORKER_ID=x  npx vitest run --root packages/telemetry   → 319 passed
```

What remains is the structural gap the issue names: the protection is
per-file and per-variable, nothing pins it, and `vitest.config.ts` still
has no `setupFiles`. This PR moves the property to the setup file and
deletes the two hand-rolled guards, so the setup file is what holds it —
see the mutation section, where removing the `setupFiles` line
reproduces the issue's 17 and 1 exactly.

Post-change sweep, one hostile value per run, 329 tests each:
`DO_NOT_TRACK=1`, `ARGENT_TELEMETRY=0`, `ARGENT_TELEMETRY_DEBUG=1`,
`CLAUDE_CODE_ENVIRONMENT_KIND=byoc`, `CLAUDE_CODE_ENTRYPOINT=remote`,
`CLAUDE_CODE_REMOTE_SESSION_ID=x`, `CURSOR_AGENT_WORKER_ID=x`,
`CURSOR_WORKER_POOL_NAME=x`, `GITHUB_ACTIONS=true`,
`GITHUB_ACTOR=copilot`,
`GITHUB_WORKFLOW_REF=…copilot-swe-agent.yml@refs/heads/main`,
`REPLIT_AGENT=1`, `ARGENT_HOST`/`ARGENT_PORT`/`ARGENT_AUTH_TOKEN`,
`CI=1`, `CI=false`, `OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT`,
`OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_HEADERS`, the real CI combination, and all eleven at
once — 329 passed every time.

`GITHUB_ACTIONS` is a ci-info vendor input as well as a copilot-agent
marker, so clearing it does move `isCi()` — but only its GitHub Actions
branch, and an Actions run also sets `CI`, which `isCi()` answers ahead
of any vendor check. `GITHUB_ACTOR` and `GITHUB_WORKFLOW_REF` appear in
neither `ci-info/vendors.json` nor `ci-detect.ts`'s generic list, so
they cost nothing. The rest of the ci-info surface and `OTEL_*` are
deliberately left alone; the setup file says so.

filip131311 c573e9c524 feat(telemetry): report device_kind next to platform on tool events (#1049)
## Why

Telemetry cannot tell a physical iPhone from a simulator: `platform` is
`ios` for both, and the tool-server's `kind` never reaches the events.
Physical-iOS support shipped in 0.24.0 with no way to count its adoption
except through `ios_device_*` failure stages on `tool:fail`. Physical
Android phones have the same gap.

## What

`tool:invoke` / `tool:complete` / `tool:fail` gain `device_kind:
simulator | emulator | vvd | device | app`, derived from the same device
id as `platform` (single classifier in `telemetry-platform.ts`, which
`debugger:tool_outcome` and `lens:*` also go through for their
platform). `platform: ios` + `device_kind: device` is a physical iPhone.

The kind is emitted only for positively recognised id shapes, so the
metric is not polluted by ids that are not devices:

| id shape | platform | device_kind |
|---|---|---|
| simulator UUID / `remote:` | ios / ios-remote (tvos when the cache is
warm) | simulator |
| physical iPhone UDID | ios | device |
| `emulator-NNNN` | android (android-tv when warm) | emulator |
| USB serial, 6–20 alnum with a digit and a letter | android | device |
| non-loopback `ip:port` | android | device (best effort) |
| loopback `127.0.0.1:port` / `localhost:port` / `::1:port` | android |
emulator |
| anything else non-iOS-shaped (Metro 40-hex handle, `booted`,
`Pixel_7`, IPv6, mDNS) | android | omitted |
| `chromium-cdp-<port>` / `amazon-…` | chromium / vega | app / vvd |
| `avdName`-only boot | android | omitted |

A child sub-tool that names its own device replaces the parent's
platform, kind and provider label wholesale, so an `avdName`-only child
never reports the parent's `simulator` next to its own `android`. A
logical-keyed Metro session strips the kind.

`unknown` (in the registry `DeviceKind`) is rejected by the sanitizer
like `platform: "unknown"`; no registry change.

## Querying

- Physical iPhone adoption: `tool:invoke` where `platform = 'ios' and
device_kind = 'device'`, distinct users over it. `isIosPhysicalUdid` is
a positive match, so invoke is clean.
- Physical Android: count on `tool:complete` (the device answered).
`tool:invoke` / `tool:fail` still carry residual mistakes that happen to
look like a serial (`Pixel7`), and a non-loopback `ip:port` may be a
networked virtual device.

## Docs

- `Telemetry.md` → 1.04, effective date 7 September 2026 (adjust to the
release date on merge). Discloses the new category and, while touching
that section, the external-provider label that #735 added without a
notice line — happy to drop that second bullet if it should ship
separately.
- No docs-site change: `docs/reference/telemetry.mdx` links to
`Telemetry.md` and has no per-property list.

## Notes

- Pre-existing, unchanged: HTTP-edge failures carry no
`tool_invocation_id`; `stop-all-simulator-servers` declares no
capability, so its invoke row has neither field while its fail row has
both. `device_kind` follows `platform` in each site.
- Legacy 40-hex iPhone UDIDs already classify as `android` today; they
now get no kind rather than a wrong one.
- Design went through three adversarial review rounds before
implementation and one on the diff; the fallback-bucket and
child-attribution rules above came out of those.

## Verification

- `packages/telemetry`: 319 tests, `packages/tool-server`: full suite
5670 passed / 1 skipped; `typecheck:tests` both packages; `eslint
--max-warnings 0`; `knip`; prettier.
- New: `test/telemetry-device-kind.test.ts` (the shape table above),
plus cases in `http-tools-meta`, `http-platform-alias`, `sanitize`,
`registry-listener`.

## Summary by CodeRabbit

* **New Features**
* Telemetry now records a device category—such as simulator, emulator,
physical device, virtual device, or desktop app—alongside the platform.
* Device categories are inferred from device information and may include
a short label for external device providers.
* Device category information is included in tool invocation,
completion, and failure telemetry when available.
* Device identifiers themselves continue to be excluded from telemetry.
* **Documentation**
* Updated the Argent Privacy Notice (Telemetry) to version 1.04,
effective 7 September 2026.

filip131311 c2324f052d feat(telemetry): project-scope opt-out (restrictive merge) + init --local --no-telemetry (#952)
## Why

Teams that must not send usage data to a third party (a
strict-compliance customer asked) had no way to turn telemetry off for a
repository. `telemetry.enabled` was global-only
(`~/.argent/config.json`), so a committed local install (`init --local`)
still defaulted every teammate to **on** — `--no-telemetry` only opted
out the machine that ran `init`.

## What

- **`telemetry.enabled` accepts the project scope.** `consent.ts` now
reads both `~/.argent/config.json` and
`<project-root>/.argent/config.json` (root resolved from `cwd`, per-file
cache keyed by path) and merges **restrictively**: `false` in either
document wins. A committed project opt-out holds on every clone, and a
project file can never re-enable a global opt-out. Env overrides
(`DO_NOT_TRACK`, `ARGENT_TELEMETRY`) still outrank both.
- **`argent telemetry enable|disable --scope global|project`** (default
`global`). `status` names the document that decided (`config.json
(project)`, `(global)`, `(project and global)`). `enable` at one scope
while the other still opts out reports that telemetry stays disabled
instead of claiming success. Unknown scope / argument → exit 2, nothing
written.
- **`argent init --local --no-telemetry`** also writes
`telemetry.enabled: false` to `.argent/config.json`, and the "commit
these files" checklist lists it. Global mode is unchanged.
- `argent config set/unset telemetry.enabled` stays delegated to `argent
telemetry` (`manageCommand`), so the lifecycle work (draining the live
client) is still done by the dedicated command.

## Tests

Unit: `telemetry` (+8 project-scope cases: single-scope opt-out, both
restrictive directions, both-off, env precedence, live re-read of the
project file, malformed project file), `configuration-core` (schema
scopes), new `argent-cli/test/telemetry-command.test.ts` (real-fs, 6
cases), `argent-installer` — all green; eslint, prettier, knip,
`docusaurus build` green.

Live, from a real `npm pack` tarball of this branch (sandboxed `HOME`):

1. Fresh project → `init --local --yes --no-telemetry --from <tgz>`:
writes `.argent/config.json` `{telemetry:{enabled:false}}` + global
opt-out; summary lists `.argent/config.json` to commit.
2. `telemetry status` → `disabled`, source `config.json (project and
global)`. `telemetry enable` (global) → "stays disabled: config.json
(project) still opts out"; from `~` (no project) → `enabled`. `enable
--scope project` → enabled; `disable --scope project` → disabled.
`--scope team` → exit 2.
3. **Teammate simulation**: copied only the committed files to a fresh
clone with a fresh `HOME` (no global opt-out), bundle built with a dummy
OTLP token, `ARGENT_TELEMETRY_DEBUG=1`, drove `argent mcp` (initialize →
tools/list → `list-devices` call). Control clone without
`.argent/config.json`: tool-server emitted `toolserver:start`,
`tool:invoke`, `tool:complete`, `toolserver:stop`. Clone with the
committed opt-out: **0 events**, and the first-run telemetry notice is
not printed.

## Caveat (documented)

The project file is resolved from the working directory of the process.
Editors start the MCP server in the workspace root, so it and the
tool-server it launches read it. The tool-server is shared by every
editor on the machine and reads the project file of the workspace that
started it; the global opt-out or `DO_NOT_TRACK` still covers the
machine-wide case.

## Docs

Updated in this PR: `reference/configuration.mdx` (scopes + merge
wording), `reference/telemetry.mdx` (new "Opt out for a whole
repository" section), `reference/cli.mdx` (`init`, `telemetry` rows),

Ignacy Łątka 5d8fc10799 test: stop tests binding machine-wide resources they do not own (#714)
## Why

Three flaky or failing tests were diagnosed separately this week, and
all three turned out to be one defect wearing different clothes: **a
test binding a machine-wide resource it does not own**, so a second
concurrent run — another checkout, a CI matrix cell, a developer's own
app — perturbs it. Those three are fixed in #707, #709 and #711.

Each of those was found by chasing a symptom, and each audit covered
only its own resource type. This is the systematic sweep: all **448 test
files across 13 packages**, plus the 4 `node --test` scripts. (The sweep
itself ran over the 400 files that existed when it started; merging
`main` brought the count to 448, and every category below was re-run
over the full set — 25 files assign `env.HOME` and none omit
`USERPROFILE`, one test file calls `pkill`/`pgrep`
(`vega-cli-timeout.test.ts`, scoped out to #711 below), and no
`listen()` names a fixed port.)

## Findings

| Category | Files checked | Real findings |
|---|---|---|
| Network endpoints (bind / probe / unix socket) | 448 | 4 |
| Filesystem — shared temp namespace (`os.tmpdir()` and literal `/tmp`)
| 448 | 8 |
| Filesystem — real `$HOME` / `~/.argent` | 448 | 4 (28 files) |
| Ambient environment | 448 + all `src` readers | 12 |
| Device / emulator / SDK state | 448 | 2 |
| Process table (`pgrep` / `pkill` / fixed-pattern sweeps) | 448 | **0**
|
| In-process globals leaking across files | 13 packages × 13 modes |
**0** |

Every finding was reproduced with a concrete instrument before being
touched, and the instrument re-run after. Representative:

- **`stop-tools.test.ts`** ran the real `stop-metro` against port 59999,
which `lsof`s and **SIGTERMs whatever it finds**. With a squatter there:
`16 passed` → `1 failed`, and the squatter logged `received SIGTERM #1`.
Now port 1.
- **`bind-failure-telemetry` / `lens-relay-telemetry`** were gated on
the real `~/.argent/flags.json`. Enabling the documented
`tool-server-event-log` flag: `4 passed` → **`4 failed`**, and records
were appended to the developer's real event log.
- **LogFileWriter (12 files)** — its constructor `mkdir -p`s
`os.homedir()/.argent/tmp`. Instrument: run each of the 16 test files
that reference a writer, or a blueprint that builds one, under a scratch
`HOME`/`USERPROFILE`, then test `$HOME/.argent/tmp` for existence. 4
created it; the 12 that actually construct a writer now all call
`scopeTempHome`, and none creates it.
- **`screen-recording.test.ts`** — the device ids are fixtures and
`vi.useFakeTimers()` seeds its clock from the real time, so only the
millisecond a run starts in separates two runs' `.mp4` paths, and each
test deletes the path it derived. Self-concurrent: **2 of 3 rounds
failed** → 0 of 4. Scoping `TMPDIR` removes the window rather than
narrowing it.
- **`DO_NOT_TRACK=1`** → telemetry `282 passed` → **`13 failed`**.
**`npm_config_user_agent=pnpm|yarn|bun`** → installer `535 passed` →
4/5/3 failed. **19 tests required a real `adb`** — PATH shadow + empty
HOME: `30 passed` → **`19 failed`**.
- A fixed `/tmp/argent-nd-<udid8>.sock` **destroyed a concurrent
holder's live socket** (proven by inode) in **3** files that run the
native-devtools factory. Two of them also fail outright:
`native-devtools-app-state` lost **3 of 3** rounds of two concurrent
runs on `expected 'unregistered' to be 'connected'`. All three now
derive the UDID from `process.pid`.
- `flow-visual`, `react-profiler/dump`, `file-inputs`, `http-upload` —
shared `/tmp` paths and prefix scans, each reproduced with a squatter.
In `http-upload` the collision surfaced *as a timeout*, inside
`vi.waitFor`. (`flow-chromium-boot` was fixed on this branch too, but
main's #585 rewrote that file afterwards and the merge kept main's copy,
so it is byte-identical to `origin/main` here and carries no fix.)

## Clean, with the evidence

- **Process table** — an `LD_PRELOAD` exec interposer over a full run
(507 execs) plus all 12 other suites. Excluding
`vega-cli-timeout.test.ts`, which is #711's and does sweep the table
(`pkill -f '^sleep 6910[0-9]$'` at line 134): no
`pgrep`/`pkill`/`killall`/fixed-pattern sweep anywhere, and **no test
signals a pid it did not spawn**.
- **Real device state** — **zero** exec attempts of real `adb` /
`simctl` / `emulator` / `avdmanager` / `vega`; no test asserts a device
list. That list was too narrow: `workspace-reader-integration` spawned
the real `yarn` / `pnpm` / `bun` / `pod` / `eas` / `expo`, which is the
second finding in this row.
- **Cross-file in-process leakage** — structurally impossible: vitest
4.1.9 resolves `pool: "forks"` / `isolate: true`, confirmed by a scratch
experiment (distinct pids, no env leak, module `Map` = 1,1,1). 120
default-mode runs across 12 packages produced 1 failure.
- **`scripts/`** — 4 files, 86 tests: `mkdtemp` throughout, no ports, no
sweeps, writes nothing.

## Verification

Each fix was mutated back and killed by a **named** test under its
instrument — e.g. `× reads a plain absolute path`, `× returns null when
only the extensionless binary exists`, `× pins both names os.homedir()
consults, at the same directory`. Restores verified with `git diff` /
`git status`, never a substring grep.

**Pinned by an instrument only:** the socket fix for
`ios-only-blueprint-gate`, the `~/.argent/tmp` and
`~/.argent/flags.json` fixes, the `/tmp` fixture cleanup, the
`stop-metro` port change (the test asserts `stopped: false` / `pids:
[]`, which hold for either port whenever nothing is listening) and the
`workspace-reader` `PATH` pin (only `node` is asserted; the other seven
probes are not) are not pinned by any suite assertion — reverting them
still passes, and only the external squatter / scratch-`HOME`
instruments catch them. They are pollution fixes. The
`native-devtools-app-state` socket fix is the exception in the other
direction: reverting it turns two concurrent runs red.

Gates, unpiped and read by exit code: `eslint .` 0, `prettier --check .`
0, `tsc --build` 0, `typecheck:tests` 0.
Suite, run as six shards: tool-server **4287 passed, 1 skipped, 0
failed**; argent-cli 462; telemetry 306; argent-tools-client 191;
configuration-core 122; argent-mcp 80; argent-installer 555. All other
packages and `test:scripts` green, identical to baseline.

`lens-tools-platform-gate.test.ts` times out at the 5s default under
full-suite load and passes at `--testTimeout=30000` (24.7s, almost all
of it transform). It predates this branch and is untouched by it.

## Scope

This branch is **test-only** — no `src/` file is touched. Both
production defects the sweep turned up are separated out, so each can be
reviewed as the user-facing fix it is: `ps` without `-ww` orphaning live
tool-servers is #713, and #852 is `ensureToolsServer` respawning on
every call when `ARGENT_HOST` is exported — `buildToolsServerEnv` passes
the inherited value to the child while the state records the literal
`127.0.0.1` the health check then probes. The second surfaced here as
eight stranded `fake-tool-server` processes, and pinning the environment
in this branch removes that signal, which is why it is filed rather than
merely worked around. A third, outside this branch entirely, is #853:
ten `tool-server` test servers omit the host on `listen(0)`, binding
every interface where twenty-two sibling sites pass `127.0.0.1`. It is
hardening, not a live exposure — `createHttpApp`'s Host allow-list
answers a LAN-addressed request with 403, and only a raw client forging
`Host: 127.0.0.1` reaches the stub registry behind it, inside the ~100
ms one `it()` holds the socket. It is also not a collision risk:
ephemeral ports are kernel-assigned and never reissued while in use,
which is why the fixed-port audit above is unaffected. All ten predate
this branch.

Left untouched on purpose: `boot-electron-spawn-error.test.ts`,
`chromium-discovery.test.ts` and `vega-cli-timeout.test.ts` — owned by
the still-open #709 and #711, and all three still carrying their defects
on this base. (#707 has since merged into this base, so
`boot-device-hotboot.test.ts` and `vitest.config.ts` carry its fix
rather than a defect; `test/setup/clear-argent-env.ts` is its work, and
this branch relies on it.)

**Not fixed, deliberately** — an adjacent class (test-*order*
dependence, not machine-global resources), reproducible if wanted:
`link-config.test.ts` (deterministic: `-t "returns null when required
field"` → 4 failed), `network/network-integration.test.ts` and
`android-perfetto/dispatch.test.ts` (fail under `--sequence.shuffle`
seeds).

**Also observed, not addressed:** one green tool-server run leaves
**56** entries behind in a scratch `TMPDIR` — **30** in the
`argent-screenshot-diff*` family, 4 `argent-events-*`, 3
`argent-flow-crop-*`, 3 `argent-tar-upload-*`, 2 `argent-flow-diff-*`, 2
`argent-file-input-*`, and 12 assorted singletons (`ast-index-*`,
`component-source-*`, `argent-profiler-cwd`, `argent-chromium-media`,
…). Measured per run against a scoped temp dir, so it ranks the
contributors rather than counting one machine's accumulated history —
screenshot-diff, not flow-crop, is the dominant one. A separate leak.
That instrument is blind to a *literal* path, which is how it missed the
two `/tmp/native-profiler-*-report.md` writers the fourth pass found.
Re-run across all 13 packages, `argent-mcp` is the only one outside
`tool-server` that leaves anything — two entries per run, filed as #854.


## Second pass

A review of this branch re-ran every category above with its own
instrument rather than reading the diff, and found the sweep had pinned
four resources in one file while leaving a sibling that does the same
thing live. Fixed in `4289e3d8f` and `8164955b4`; the table and bullets
above are the corrected totals.

- **`tool-server-event-log`** was mocked off in 2 of the 4 files that
call the real `start()`. With the flag on, `startup-telemetry` and
`tool-fail-invalid-params-emission` failed 3 tests in
`attachRegistryEventLogger` and truncated the real
`~/.argent/tool-server-events.jsonl` to 0 bytes first.
`ARGENT_EVENT_LOG` cannot redirect that:
`test/setup/clear-argent-env.ts` strips every `ARGENT_*` var before the
module graph loads.
- **`scopeTempHome`** reached 8 files; 4 more built a real
`LogFileWriter` through the JS-runtime-debugger blueprint.
- **`os.homedir()` on Windows** reads `USERPROFILE`, not `HOME`.
`android-binary-windows` and `adb-resolve-avd-path` pinned only `HOME`,
and both run on a real windows-latest host. Proven by running the
resolver under a `node:os` mock that reproduces the Windows lookup: with
`HOME` alone the stock Studio SDK under the profile resolves; with both
pinned it misses. `update-checker` had the same gap.
- **`getConsentState`** honours a falsy `ARGENT_TELEMETRY` at the same
precedence as `DO_NOT_TRACK`, ahead of the config override the suite
writes. Only `DO_NOT_TRACK` was pinned: `ARGENT_TELEMETRY=0` gave `17
failed | 6 passed`.
- **`workspace-reader-integration`** let the version probe spawn the
real package managers off `PATH`; their shims self-install, so the file
pulled **~44 MB** into `~/.cache/node/corepack` and
`~/Library/Caches/eas-cli`. `PATH` is now a directory holding only
`node`, the one version the test asserts — 44 MB → 4 KB.
- **`argent-mcp`** snapshotted `ARGENT_AUTO_SCREENSHOT_DELAY_MS` without
clearing it, and that package has no `ARGENT_*`-stripping setup file, so
3 tests asserted the developer's exported value.

Smaller items in the same commits: the `/tmp` socket fixtures now remove
the directories they create per run; `http-upload`'s pre-scan snapshot
is gone, since scoping `TMPDIR` to a fresh directory made it permanently
empty and its filter inert, as its two siblings already did; and two
`detectProjectPackageManager` assertions that enumerated the entire
return union are pinned to a single value.


The confirmation pass also caught a defect the first round of fixes
introduced: pinning `HOME`/`USERPROFILE` to the fixture root in
`android-binary-windows` let `<home>/Android/Sdk` shadow the
`%LOCALAPPDATA%` root the two positive tests are named after, so
deleting `roots.push(join(localAppData, …))` from the resolver left all
three green. Home has its own directory in `6aee3ee7a`, and that
mutation now fails both tests.


A third pass, running the nearest-twin move repo-wide, found the
`os.homedir()`-on-Windows gap in one more package: eight
`argent-tools-client` test files redirect only `HOME`, and four of them
recursively delete `STATE_DIR` — two before each test, two after — which
on Windows is the developer's real `%USERPROFILE%\.argent`. Fixed in
`139447d4a`, together with the same gap in `avd-snapshot`. Nothing runs
that package on Windows CI today, so no current run fires it.

## Fourth pass

A fourth pass audited the three fix commits and re-ran the sweep with
two instruments the earlier ones did not have. Both holes were in the
*measurement*, not the diff — which is why three passes missed what they
found. Fixed in `a67c43f8d`.

- **`os.tmpdir()` does not read the same variable on every platform.**
POSIX takes `TMPDIR`, `TMP`, `TEMP` in that order; Windows takes `TEMP`,
then `TMP`, and never looks at `TMPDIR`. The five pins this branch added
set `TMPDIR` alone, so on Windows production still materialized into the
machine-wide `%TEMP%` while the test scanned a scratch directory nothing
ever wrote to — and `file-inputs`, `http-upload` and `flow-visual` each
end in a leak assertion over that listing, which then passes whatever
the code does. Against `origin/main`, which diffed a before/after
listing of the real tmpdir, that is a regression rather than a wash.
`redirectTmpdir` (`test/helpers/tmpdir-env.ts`) sets all three and
returns the restore; the **7** files that scope a tmpdir use it,
including the two `android-perfetto` ones that predate this branch.
`test/tmpdir-env.test.ts` pins both lookup chains — reverting the helper
to `TMPDIR` alone fails two of its three tests. All three leak
assertions were re-confirmed live on POSIX by mutating the production
cleanup each one covers.
- **A hardcoded absolute path is invisible to a `TMPDIR`-scoped
instrument.** `session-correctness` and
`ios-instruments/analyze-freshness` passed a literal
`/tmp/native-profiler-{x,ios}.trace` as the session's trace file, and
the renderer writes its report beside it (`deriveReportPath` =
`dirname(traceFile)/<base>-report.md`). Every run left
`native-profiler-x-report.md` and `native-profiler-ios-report.md` in the
shared `/tmp`; nothing removed them, and two concurrent runs write the
same names. Reproduced with `TMPDIR` pointed at a scratch dir — the
files still landed in `/tmp`, which is exactly why the `os.tmpdir()` row
and the leftover census below both read clean here. Both tests now own
the directory.
- **A prefix-scanned env var is invisible to a grep for variable
names.** `secretSources` enumerates `process.env` by the
`ARGENT_SECRET_` prefix and ranks it *above* every file the test writes,
so `secrets-command.test.ts` — which already pins `HOME`, `USERPROFILE`
and cwd — still read the developer's shell. `ARGENT_SECRET_FOO=bar`,
argent's own documented way to supply a secret: `6 passed` → **`3 failed
| 3 passed`**, deterministic. `argent-cli` has no `ARGENT_*`-stripping
setup file, so the prefix is cleared per test. Its sibling
`configuration-core/tests/secrets.test.ts` was already immune — it
threads an explicit `env: NO_ENV` into every call.
- **`android-binary` and `vega-cli-fallback`** were the last two files
redirecting `HOME` without `USERPROFILE` — the former the direct twin of
`android-binary-windows`, in the same directory, driving the same
resolver. Under a `node:os` mock reproducing the Windows lookup with an
SDK planted in the profile, it loses **5 of 11** tests. No test file in
the repo redirects `HOME` alone any more. (`6fbb66ce1` later skipped
both of this file's describes on win32 — its fixtures are extensionless
and the win32 resolver only takes `.exe` — so its own `USERPROFILE` pin
is now symmetry with the sibling files that do run there, not a live
guard.)

Two smaller items in the same commit. `native-devtools-socket-bind`'s
ENOENT fixture still rooted at `os.tmpdir()` while the comment three
screens above explains why the others do not: with a 142-character
ambient `$TMPDIR` that path exceeds `sun_path` and `listen` rejects it
for *that* reason, which the assertions cannot tell from the
missing-directory one they were written for. And
`<home>\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk` — the resolver's fallback for a
GUI-spawned server that never inherited `%LOCALAPPDATA%` — could be
deleted with the whole suite green; it now has a test, and deleting
either win32 root fails exactly the tests named for it.

## Fifth pass

A fifth pass took the platform-branch shape the fourth pass exposed and
ran it as its own move: *for every function that branches on
`process.platform`, does the test's guard cover every arm, or only the
one the author's machine takes?* Fixed in `e08b466b6`.

- **`init-stale-config.test.ts` deletes the developer's real VS Code MCP
config on Windows.** The file mocks `os.homedir()` and says it does so
"so hidden-scope probes (`~/.claude.json`, VS Code user profile) never
touch the real home directory". `vscodeUserDirs()` branches `darwin →
homedir()/Library/Application Support`, `win32 → %APPDATA%`, `else →
homedir()/.config` — the win32 arm never calls `homedir()`, so the mock
is inert there, and the test's own `userMcpJsonPath()` mirrors the same
branch. Both user-profile tests then write a one-entry fixture over
`%APPDATA%\Code\User\mcp.json` with a whole-file `writeFileSync`, and
assert that `remove()` deleted it. Reproduced by forcing
`process.platform` to `win32` with a two-server `mcp.json` planted at a
probe `%APPDATA%`: **`3 passed`, and the file and its directory were
gone.** With `APPDATA` pinned, the whole file passes under the same
instrument — 31 tests — and the planted config is byte-identical.
- **`argent-tools-client` hands its ambient `ARGENT_*` to a real spawned
child.** The launcher spawns an actual tool-server, and
`buildToolsServerEnv` overrides only the keys it is given — everything
else rides in on `...baseEnv`. `ARGENT_HOST` is the one that bites: the
fixture binds the host it names while the launcher records and
health-checks `127.0.0.1`, so reuse misses and a second server is
spawned. With six overrides exported: **`10 failed | 181 passed`, and
eight stray `fake-tool-server` processes still holding TCP listen
sockets after the run.** With the prefix stripped: `191 passed`, none
surviving. The package now carries the same setup file `tool-server`
has, for the same reason — and it is the second of the two packages
whose missing `ARGENT_*` strip this review found.

## Later passes

A sixth pass audited the fix commits themselves and bounded the SDK
probe (`6fbb66ce1`); a seventh ran the moves against the diff one more
time and turned up the two below, plus the `listen(0)` defect filed as
#853.

- **The `PATH` pin made `workspace-reader-integration` POSIX-only
without the guard its siblings got.** The shim it puts on `PATH` is an
extensionless `node`, and `symlink()` to a file needs an elevated
process or Developer Mode on Windows, so `beforeAll` throws `EPERM`
there before any assertion runs; a copy in place of the symlink would
not rescue it either, since a bare command name resolves through
`PATHEXT`. This sweep already skips `android-binary` and
`native-devtools-socket-bind` on win32 for exactly this class, and the
Windows job runs a curated list of seven `tool-server` files that
excludes this one, so nothing was catching it. Fixed in `095d75bd8` —
verified POSIX `2 passed`, and under a forced win32 platform `2 skipped`
with the top-level `beforeAll` never entered.
- **A rationale that rested on a case the file excludes.**
`android-binary`'s header justified pinning `USERPROFILE` by what
`os.homedir()` reads on Windows, two sentences before noting that both
describes skip on win32. Fixed in `f37b3605e`; the variable stays in the
snapshot list, the justification no longer claims a platform this file
never reaches.

A seventh pass also re-ran the sweep against a hostile machine: every
feature flag on in a scratch `~/.argent/flags.json`, no `adb` on `PATH`,
and a `TMPDIR` long enough to overrun the 104-byte `sun_path` limit. It
found one resource this branch had not closed.

- **A red `launcher-version-gate` run strands a real tool-server.**
`ensureToolsServer` spawns a fixture server, but its pid only reached
the reaper after three or four assertions on the state it returned; any
of those throwing left the pid unrecorded, and the same `afterEach` then
deleted `STATE_DIR`, the only other record of what to kill. **Eight such
processes were alive on the development machine**, spread from 14:33 to
18:23, every one from an `argent-version-gate-test-*` fixture and none
from any other family — each still holding a TCP listen socket with its
fixture directory long gone. Forcing one assertion to fail took the
`tool-server.cjs start` count from 10 to 11. The nearest twin,
`launcher-duplicate-spawn`, guards this twice: it records the pid
straight after the null check and sets `FAKE_TTL_MS` so an escaped
server self-exits. Fixed in `26c2c60ec` with both, the TTL also covering
the window between the spawn and the state read where no pid exists yet
— the same forced failure now leaves **zero** strays.

An eighth pass audited the seventh's own fixes, and found the
version-gate fix had been applied to one file when the defect was a
property of four.

- **Three more files strand a real tool-server on a red run.**
`launcher-spawn` and `launcher-exit` set `FAKE_TTL_MS` nowhere;
`launcher-duplicate-spawn` — the file `26c2c60ec` cites as the model —
armed it inside one test's `try/finally`, so eight of its nine spawns
ran without it and the `finally` disarmed it for the remainder of that
test. Reproduced per file by forcing a failure before the pid is
recorded: a detached node process survives, reparented to init, holding
a listening socket, with its `TEST_HOME` removed and its state record
already cleared. Fixed in `3bb69ded6` by moving the net to a file-wide
`beforeEach` in all three. Verified end to end — the child carries
`FAKE_TTL_MS=60000`, and a stranded server spawned at 21:28:36 exited by
itself at 21:29:36 with nothing signalling it; three consecutive green
runs stay at 191 passed.
- **A 29th file writes the real `~/.argent`.**
`boot-electron-spawn-error`'s success-path test completes a boot, and a
completed boot calls `trackChromiumPort`, persisting to
`os.homedir()/.argent/chromium-cdp-ports.json`. The real file on the
development machine had accumulated **106 dead ephemeral ports**. Its
two siblings in the same directory already mock `chromium-discovery` for
exactly this reason; this was the third, with no mock. Fixed in
`3306b6f40`.
- **`scopeTempHome` was itself unpinned.** Deleting its `USERPROFILE`
line — the Windows half, the same property the sibling helper's test
pins — left all twelve consumers green at 48 passed. `3306b6f40` adds
the missing test; it kills that mutation plus dropping the `HOME` pin
and replacing the per-test `mkdtemp` with one shared directory.

Two findings from that pass were refuted on verification and are
recorded rather than acted on: the tool-server tmpdir leftovers
(mechanism real, but they are the separate leak this body already scopes
out) and a claim that `26c2c60ec`'s message overstated its twin.

Four comments were also corrected against their code: `deriveReportPath`
joins `<base>-report.md` *inside* the trace's directory rather than
appending to the directory's name, which is what makes the
`rm(traceDir)` added in `a67c43f8d` cover it; two `android-perfetto`
comments still named `TMPDIR` as the mechanism after the switch to
`redirectTmpdir`; and `android-binary`'s header claimed the home pin
lets its two positive tests resolve "on either platform", though its
fixtures are extensionless and the win32 resolver only accepts `.exe`.

Ignacy Łątka 0a6dbec87c feat(telemetry): export events via OpenTelemetry OTLP logs instead of PostHog (#570)
## What

Swaps the `posthog-node` transport for an OpenTelemetry Logs exporter.
Everything above the transport stays as it is - opt-out consent,
per-machine identity and fingerprint, the sanitizer allowlist, the typed
event surface, crash diagnostics. Only the ~3-method client boundary
changes.

One analytics event becomes one OTLP/HTTP log record:

| PostHog | OpenTelemetry |
| --- | --- |
| `capture({ event, distinctId, properties })` | `logger.emit({ body:
event, attributes: { distinct_id, "event.name", ...props } })` |
| event name | log-record `body` |
| `distinctId` | `distinct_id` attribute |
| event/base properties | log-record attributes |
| `client.shutdown()` | `LoggerProvider.shutdown()` (force-flush +
teardown) |

Records go to a hard-coded Software Mansion collector. The endpoint and
the authorization header are passed to the exporter explicitly in code,
and an explicit value beats the corresponding `OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_*`
variable - the same anti-exfiltration property the fixed PostHog host
had.

## Changes

- `packages/telemetry/src/posthog.ts` becomes `otel.ts`:
`LoggerProvider` + `BatchLogRecordProcessor` + `OTLPLogExporter`
(HTTP/JSON). Queue size 20 and a 10 s flush interval mirror the old
client; the per-export deadline is 1.5 s, kept at or below `index.ts`'s
drain budget so a stalled export can't hold a short-lived command open.
- Dependencies: drop `posthog-node`, add
`@opentelemetry/{api,api-logs,sdk-logs,exporter-logs-otlp-http,resources}`.
They inline cleanly into the esbuild bundles.
- Build-time ingest token via esbuild `define`
(`ARGENT_OTEL_INGEST_TOKEN`), same mechanism as `ARGENT_CLI_VERSION`.
Unset in a dev build leaves the client unconstructed and telemetry
inert.
- Base props: drop `$process_person_profile` (a PostHog directive,
meaningless to a collector) and rename `$session_id` to `session_id`.
Null-valued attributes are dropped, since OTel rejects them -
`cloud_agent` is null on the common path, and absence means the same
thing.
- `Telemetry.md`: the "who we disclose to" and "international transfers"
sections describe a Software Mansion-operated OTLP collector instead of
PostHog as a third-party processor.

## A hang this uncovered

`timeoutMillis` only bounds a request once its socket is connected,
because the exporter applies it with `req.setTimeout()`. Against a
collector address that drops packets rather than refusing them - a
corporate egress filter, a dead host behind a firewall - the socket sits
in the connecting state where no export deadline reaches it, and the
process stays alive for the OS connect timeout: 75 s past a `shutdown()`
that had already resolved at 1.75 s.

Pairing the export deadline with an agent-level socket timeout, armed at
socket creation so it covers connection establishment too, fixes it:

| collector state | before | after |
| --- | --- | --- |
| healthy | 0.18 s, delivered | 0.18 s, delivered |
| connection refused | 0.94 s | 1.03 s |
| blackholed (http and https) | 75.0 s | 1.6 s |
| connected but never responds | - | 1.6 s |

`posthog-node` exited in 10.6 s under the same blackhole (undici aborts
a connecting socket), so this was a regression as well as a hang. A unit
test that fails without the fix guards it.

## Found in review

Each of these was reproduced before it was changed, and each is pinned
by a test that fails without the fix.

- **The environment's OTLP headers were forwarded to the collector.**
The SDK merges `OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_HEADERS` / `_LOGS_HEADERS` into every
request, keeping any key the code does not set itself. Out in the world
that variable holds the developer's *own* observability credential - a
Honeycomb team key, a Dynatrace `Api-Token`, Grafana Cloud basic auth -
so any machine already running OpenTelemetry shipped that third-party
secret here on every batch, without it passing the sanitizer or
appearing in `Telemetry.md`. Reproduced by watching `x-honeycomb-team:
hcaik_…` arrive at a capture server. The variables are now cleared
across the exporter constructor (where the SDK resolves its header set)
and restored after.
- **`httpAgentOptions` silently disabled connection reuse.** Supplying
it replaces the agent the SDK would build, whose default is `keepAlive:
true`. Measured on loopback: three batches shared one socket by default,
and opened three sockets with `httpAgentOptions` - a fresh TCP+TLS
handshake per 10 s batch in the long-lived tool-server. `keepAlive` is
restated alongside the timeout.
- **`markDisabled()`'s drain had no grace period.** It raced flat
against `SHORT_FLUSH_TIMEOUT_MS` while `shutdown()` allowed `timeoutMs +
250`. Since the exporter's own deadline equals that budget, the flat
race fired at the same instant and always abandoned the batch instead of
letting it finish. Both call sites share one `raceDrain()` now.
- **Export failures reached nobody.** The batch processor hands errors
to OpenTelemetry's global handler, so `LoggerProvider.shutdown()`
resolves identically for a delivered batch and a rejected token - making
`shutdown()`'s `catch` unreachable. The SDK's diagnostics are now routed
into the existing debug channel under `ARGENT_TELEMETRY_DEBUG=1`; a run
without the flag stays silent so no host application's diag logger is
disturbed.
- **The build-time token now beats the `__ARGENT_OTEL_TOKEN_TEST` seam**
rather than losing to it, so the seam reaches unbundled source only.
Verified with esbuild across all three build modes.
- **The endpoint guard test mocked the exporter it guards.** It could
only show that the code passes a `url`; an SDK upgrade that changed the
precedence would have kept it green. `otel-endpoint-live.test.ts` drives
the real exporter against loopback servers - dropping the explicit
`url`, the explicit `authorization`, or the header clearing each fails
it.
- **The wire shape had no pins at all.** Bypassing the sanitizer
entirely, sending an explicit `null`, renaming `service.name` and
dropping `event.name` all left the suite green. Four tests now fail on
those mutations. The sanitizer bypass was unpinned on `main` too.

## Before this ships

1. ~~**Collector URL**~~ - done in 8bca962f. `OTLP_LOGS_ENDPOINT` is
`https://argent-otel.swmansion.com/v1/logs`. That host serves OTLP as of
2026-08-12: a `POST` answers the OTLP-shaped `401`
(`{"code":16,"message":"provided authorization does not match expected
scheme or token"}`), where it previously `301`d to `/v1/logs/` and
`404`d there. It is a distinct host from the test collector
(`167.235.245.1` vs `46.224.172.171`, its own certificate).
2. **Ingest token** - `ARGENT_OTEL_INGEST_TOKEN` has to be set in the
release build environment. Nothing under `.github/` sets it today, so
every published artifact resolves an empty token and stays inert -
silently: with no token the client is never constructed, so a run emits
nothing and writes no `telemetry-debug.log` even under
`ARGENT_TELEMETRY_DEBUG=1`. It must be the **production** host's token:
`argent-otel.swmansion.com` runs its own token list and rejects the test
collector's.
3. **IP geolocation** - PostHog's `disableGeoip: true` set
`$geoip_disable` on every event, which is what stopped location being
derived from the source IP. There is no in-repo equivalent for a
collector, so that suppression has to be configured collector-side to
keep `Telemetry.md`'s "what we collect" list accurate.
4. **Legal** - the privacy-notice edits and the version/date bump to
1.03 are drafted to match the new architecture, but Legal should review
and finalize them. Note the notice actually served at
`TELEMETRY_DETAILS_URL` is still Version 1.01 and names PostHog as the
processor.

## Verification

Unit and integration:

- `packages/telemetry`: 293 tests pass, including the rewritten
`index.test.ts`, `otel-endpoint.test.ts` and the new
`otel-endpoint-live.test.ts`.
- Every workspace suite green on the merged branch: argent-cli 276,
argent-installer 535, argent-mcp 78, argent 60, tools-client 178,
configuration-core 83, registry 87, tool-server 3070, update-core 31,
archive 11.
- `bundle-tools.cjs` leaves no `posthog` in any of the four bundles.
OTel is inlined into the three that emit - `cli-cmds.mjs`,
`installer.mjs`, `tool-server.cjs` - each carrying the endpoint and the
token define as string literals. `mcp-server.mjs` carries none: it is a
stdio shim over the tool-server, which is the process that reports.
- `lint`, `prettier --check`, `tsc --build`, the `tsconfig.test.json`
gate and `npm install --package-lock-only` (idempotent on Node 24) all
clean.

filip131311 4975ff490c fix(debugger): cut debugger tool fail rate — structured not-connected results, classified CDP failures, narrow recovery (#610)
## Why

PostHog (30d) shows the debugger tool family is argent's least reliable
surface:

| tool | fail rate | dominant causes |
|---|---|---|
| `debugger-status` | **37%** | METRO_NO_TARGETS /
SERVICE_INITIALIZATION_FAILED / zod |
| `debugger-connect` | **24%** | SERVICE_INITIALIZATION_FAILED (~7k, >1k
users), METRO_NO_TARGETS |
| `debugger-log-registry` | 41.7% raw / 4.2% excl. storms | one user
retry-looped it **12,742×** on NO_TARGETS |

Three design issues drive this: (1) "app/Metro not ready yet" — an
expected precondition — is reported as a tool *error*, which both
inflates fail rates and invites agent retry storms; (2) every CDP
init/lifecycle fault lands in telemetry as the catch-all
`REGISTRY_SERVICE_INITIALIZATION_FAILED` with `error_kind=unknown`; (3)
~600 users/30d hit zod validation failures with zero visibility into
which parameter was wrong.

## What

**1. Classified failures** (`d71efa43`) — six former plain-`Error` sites
in `cdp-client.ts` / `target-selection.ts` now carry dedicated
`DEBUGGER_CDP_*` / `DEBUGGER_TARGET_DEVICE_MISMATCH` signals (messages
byte-identical). The registry's two causeless "terminating window"
`ServiceInitializationError`s get their own
`REGISTRY_SERVICE_TERMINATING` code.

**2. Narrow recovery** (`ff9c1955`) — `recoverable()` on both debugger
blueprints, scoped to windows where retry is provably safe: Metro
recovers only `DEBUGGER_CDP_NOT_CONNECTED` (request never left the host;
a detected socket death already self-heals for the *next* call via the
terminated cascade — recovering `CONNECTION_CLOSED` there would be dead
code, see the blueprint comment). Chromium also recovers
`CONNECTION_CLOSED` for the tab-switch reconnect window.
`REQUEST_TIMEOUT` stays unrecoverable (double-execution risk). A
reachability test proves the retry actually fires for a RUNNING node.

**3. Structured not-connected results** (`48b91ffd`) — `debugger-status`
and `debugger-log-registry` become factories that return `{ status:
"not_connected", reason, detail, guidance }` for classified
preconditions (`metro_not_running | no_app_connected | device_mismatch |
cdp_unreachable | stale_connection | reconnecting`) and still throw on
unexpected faults. `detail` preserves the original error text for
string-matching agents. `debugger-status` gains a socket-state gate
(Metro: dispose stale node; Chromium: report transient reconnect, no
dispose — the client belongs to the ChromiumCdp dependency).
log-registry keeps **no** gate on purpose: captured logs are readable
over a dead socket, and disposal would destroy the post-crash log file.
Flows/run-sequence map a not_connected result to a **failed step**
(mirrors `isUnmetUiWaitResult`) so recorded connectivity gates don't
silently pass. `debugger-evaluate` re-codes agent-expression throws as
`DEBUGGER_EVALUATE_EXPRESSION_THREW`.

**4. Telemetry + guidance + docs** (`7602a70d`) —
`tool:fail.invalid_params` (schema-declared names only; unknown keys →
literal `"unrecognized_keys"`; capped emit-side at 16), new
`debugger:tool_outcome` event (coded enum; joins
`tool:invoke`/`complete` via `tool_invocation_id` —
`ai_client`/`duration` live on the joined row), anti-retry-loop guidance
appended to the Metro discovery errors (first sentences verbatim —
skills match on them), six skills updated, Telemetry.md bumped to v1.03
with the new coded diagnostics disclosed.

## Dashboard migration note

`debugger-status` / `debugger-log-registry` precondition failures stop
emitting `tool:fail` — track them via `debugger:tool_outcome` (`outcome
!= 'connected'`). Per-AI-client breakdowns of those outcomes need a join
on `tool_invocation_id` against `tool:complete`.

## Testing

- Full suites green: tool-server 3,142, telemetry 290, registry 87. New
coverage: recoverable truth tables (incl. non-Error inputs), status
not-connected matrix
(Metro/Chromium/terminating-window/stale/dispose-side-effect/fall-through-rethrow),
log-registry rows, zod `invalid_params` derivation + emission-level
guard, flow gate, evaluate rewrap, sanitize-level enum checks.
- Live-tested against a booted iOS simulator + RN app and an Electron
target (details in PR comments).

Plan hardened through 3 adversarial review rounds (46 confirmed findings
addressed) before implementation.

filip131311 7f85f996aa fix(tool-server): defer to an existing server on EADDRINUSE instead of crash-looping (#533)
## Summary

Fixes **bucket B** of the 0.16.0 crash telemetry — the `toolserver_bind`
/ `EADDRINUSE` restart loop. It's the largest crash **volume** (~817
events, one machine alone = 785) even though it's a narrow user set
(10). Companion to #531 (which fixed the widespread multi-user bucket
A).

## Root cause (reproduced live)

The main HTTP listener's `server.on("error")` handler routed **every**
bind error through `crashShutdown` (exit 1). When a second tool-server
starts on an already-owned port, that exit just feeds a supervisor
respawn → re-bind → crash, forever.

The telemetry signature was puzzling: all these crashes are
`crash_phase=serving` with ~1s uptime and **0 tool calls** — i.e. the
listener *bound successfully* and then died. I reproduced it: on macOS,
a **second tool-server process's** `listen()` momentarily **succeeds**
(the `listening` callback runs → `listening=true` → phase `serving`),
and **then** the server emits an asynchronous `EADDRINUSE`. So the
redundant instance binds, immediately errors, crashes, and the
supervisor loops it (~1s each, 785× on one machine).

Live A/B on the compiled `dist` (isolated port, telemetry disabled),
server A up then a second server B on the same port:

```
buggy (current 0.16.0):  B: "Tools server listening ..."  → "Failed to bind ... EADDRINUSE"  → exit 1  (→ respawn loop)
fixed:                   B: "Tools server listening ..."  → "deferring to it (redundant instance)" → exit 0
```

A survives in both.

## Fix

Handle `EADDRINUSE` specifically instead of crash-looping:

- Probe the port for a healthy argent tool-server (`GET /tools` → 200,
or 401 when a token is configured).
- **If a healthy peer answers**, this instance is redundant → shut down
**cleanly** (`shutdown(0)`) and defer to it. This removes it from the
`reason:"crash"` restart-loop population entirely.
- **If nothing healthy owns the port** (a foreign holder, or a wedged
peer that doesn't answer within the probe timeout) → still crash, so a
genuinely stuck port stays visible.
- `EACCES` and all other server errors crash exactly as before.

It also corrects the now-false comment claiming these crashes are phased
`startup` ("the listen callback never ran"). Telemetry and the live
repro prove the bind succeeds first, so `listening=true` and the phase
is genuinely `serving`.

## Testing

- **New unit tests** for `probeArgentToolServer`: peer answering 200 or
401 → `true`; foreign 500, connection-refused, and wedged/timeout →
`false`.
- Full tool-server suite **2731 green**; `tsc` + `eslint` clean.
- **Live A/B** above, on the built dist.

## Note on scope

This is a robustness fix that breaks the loop for the redundant-instance
case (the dominant one). The precise reason macOS lets a second
process's bind succeed-then-error asynchronously (vs. failing
immediately, as same-process contention does) is a kernel/loopback
timing detail; the fix does not depend on it — any `EADDRINUSE`,
immediate or deferred, now defers-or-crashes deterministically rather
than hot-looping.

filip131311 2196cc18f0 feat(telemetry): anonymous crash diagnostics on toolserver:stop (#494)
## Why

PostHog shows **~9,785 `toolserver:stop` crashes over 90 days**, but
every one collapses into a single bucket — `error_kind=crash`,
`error_code=TOOLSERVER_UNCAUGHT_EXCEPTION`. We know *that* the tool
server died on a top-level throw, never *which* throw. The population is
also two very different things we can't tell apart today:

- **~99%** crash at **<5s uptime with 0 tool calls** — startup faults,
and heavily concentrated per-user (top 10 users ≈ 31% of all crashes;
one user logged 1,027), i.e. **boot → crash → relaunch loops**.
- **~1,000** crash after **>10 min** of real serving — genuine runtime
bugs.

Without the actual exception, all 9,785 rows are unrankable and
unfixable.

## What

Four **crash-only, provably-anonymous** fields on `toolserver:stop`,
enforced by the existing coded-allowlist sanitizer so **no free text can
ever reach PostHog**:

| field | value | why |
|---|---|---|
| `error_name` | error class name (`TypeError`, …) | "what kind" |
| `error_syscall` | Node's `err.code` (`EADDRINUSE`, `ECONNREFUSED`, …)
| the key discriminator for the startup-loop population (port/socket
conflicts) |
| `crash_fingerprint` | 16-hex hash of the **de-identified** top stack
frames | clusters the same crash across users; input carries no
identity, output is opaque |
| `crash_phase` | `"startup"` \| `"serving"` | splits the two
populations directly |

Turns 9,785 opaque rows into a handful of rankable clusters.

## Anonymity (the hard requirement)

- **No error message, no raw stack.** Those routinely embed
`/Users/<name>/…`, URLs, argv, hostnames, interpolated values — the
highest-PII surface and impossible to reliably scrub. The fingerprint
replaces the message for clustering; `error_name` + `error_syscall` give
the "what kind" without free text.
- **Fingerprint input is de-identified before hashing**
(defense-in-depth on top of the hash): first-party frames → basename
only (drops the home-dir/project prefix), `node_modules` frames →
package-relative tail (drops the user prefix; also collapses the pnpm
`.pnpm/pkg@ver/` layout), `node:` internals kept verbatim, column
dropped. So the *same crash on two machines produces the same
fingerprint*, and no username/path survives even into the hash input.
- **Sanitizer is the final gate.** `error_name`
`^[A-Za-z][A-Za-z0-9_]{0,63}$`, `error_syscall` `^E[A-Z0-9_]{1,31}$`,
`crash_fingerprint` `^[0-9a-f]{16}$`, `crash_phase` a 2-value enum. Any
path/message/lowercase/oversize value is dropped before it can leave the
machine.

## Scope & safety (no leaking crashes out of scope)

- Fields are populated **only** in `crashShutdown` (which forces
`reason="crash"`), so clean idle/signal stops carry none. Verified by
the existing startup-telemetry test (the pre-listener watcher-rejection
crash path stays the bare `{reason,uptime_ms,total_tool_calls}` shape).
- The four keys exist only on `ToolserverStopProps` and only in the
`toolserver:stop` allowlist entry — they can't ride any other event.
- `describeCrash` is **total**: every field extraction is isolated, so a
hostile throwing getter on `.name`/`.code`/`.stack` yields the phase
(and whatever else is readable) instead of turning crash reporting into
a second crash. The crash/exit guarantee — re-entrancy guard, force-exit
timer, `finalExitCode` escalation — is untouched.

## Tests

- New `crash-diagnostics.test.ts`: class-name/constructor-name/primitive
extraction, syscall capture, cross-user determinism (incl. **Windows**
drive-letter paths and **pnpm** layout), node_modules tail,
line-sensitivity, no-stack omission, hostile-getter resilience, and
"never emits a message/stack" confinement.
- `sanitize.test.ts`: crash fields pass when well-formed; dropped for
message-as-name, path/lowercase syscall, wrong-length/uppercase
fingerprint, unknown phase; `ERR_*` accepted.
- Full telemetry suite (278) + tool-server startup test green;
lint/prettier clean.

## Reviewed

Ran an adversarial review pass (anonymity leak-hunt, determinism,
crash-path safety, scope). Ship-ready; all findings were Low/Nit and the
actionable ones (hostile-getter hardening, Windows/pnpm test coverage,
`error_syscall` doc clarity) are folded in.

### Deliberately deferred (documented, not blockers)
- Sanitizer doesn't *cross-gate* the crash fields on `reason==="crash"`
— the per-field validator design has no sibling access; coupling is
enforced in emit code. The fields are non-identifying regardless, so a
hypothetical stray `crash_phase` on an idle stop is a data nit, not a
leak.
- First-party frames reduce to basename; if `dist` ever ships unbundled
with duplicate basenames, two sites at the same line could collide.
Non-issue for the bundled tool-server.

Hubert Gancarczyk f002fc9540 feat(telemetry): track Argent Lens design-review funnel (#478)
## What

Adds three privacy-safe telemetry events for the Argent Lens
design-review flow, capturing the human-decision funnel that the generic
`tool:*` path can't see (submission is an HTTP POST, and the
`await_user_selection` tool is hidden in `argent lens` CLI sessions):

- **`lens:preview_opened`** — a human loaded the preview UI (`GET
/preview/`), deduped per round.
- **`lens:round_completed`** — the human submitted their picks (once per
round, never on a resubmit).
- **`lens:round_abandoned`** — a staged round was discarded before
submit (window closed, `argent lens` exited mid-review, or the round
superseded).

## Privacy

Payloads carry only aggregate counts, booleans, durations, and the
device `platform` enum — never element names, comment text, variant
code, file paths, or raw device ids. The store emits privacy-safe
aggregate structs that are decoupled from the telemetry package;
structural assignability to the event props is enforced at the `track()`
call site (drift is a compile error).

## Event fields

- **`preview_opened`**: `round, element_count, variant_count,
is_cli_session, platform`
- **`round_completed`**: `round, element_count, variant_count,
annotation_count, element_comment_count, skipped_comment_count,
has_global_comment, is_cli_session, had_parked_await, round_duration_ms,
platform`
- **`round_abandoned`**: `round, element_count, variant_count,
had_parked_await, is_cli_session, platform`

## Testing

- Unit tests for all three events: per-round dedup, exactly-once
completion (no resubmit re-emit), abandoned vs happy-path roll, CLI
up-front open, and content-agnostic privacy assertions.
- Verified end-to-end against a live tool-server: all three events fire
with correct aggregate values and zero content leakage through the real
sanitize pipeline.

Stanisław Chmiela a7775e4ba6 feat(tool-server): add tool-server event log (#367)
We want to display a nicely parsed and rendered log of events that
happened over a span of an Argent session.

Current log file is not designed to be machine-readable, so adding a
JSONL-formatted log of events (gated by `tool-server-event-log`).

I eventually want this 😋
https://x.com/j3nnings/status/2069072177584849192

When enabled, the tool server writes Bunyan-compatible records to
`ARGENT_EVENT_LOG` or `~/.argent/tool-server-events.jsonl`. The log
captures tool-server lifecycle events and registry lifecycle events,
including tool invocations and others.

To make messages nicer, added `interaction` object to tool definition.
This allows tools to define a nicer message in log (print "Screenshot
capture completed." instead of "Tool `screenshot` completed.") Adding
these to the existing tools is a follow up PR matter I think.

Hubert Gancarczyk f38f0e3876 feat(telemetry): distinguish tvOS and Android TV from iOS/Android (#477)
## Summary

Telemetry inferred the device platform purely from device-id **shape**
on the per-tool-call hot path, so a tvOS simulator (same 8-4-4-4-12 UUID
as an iPhone) and an Android TV emulator (same `emulator-NNNN` serial as
a phone) were both reported as `ios` / `android` — TV usage was
invisible in analytics.

This adds `tvos` and `android-tv` to the **telemetry** `PLATFORMS` enum
and refines the inference so a TV target is attributed correctly.

## Approach

- The runtime kind (`mobile` / `tv`) is already resolved and memoized in
two module-level caches (`runtimeKindCache` in `ios-devices.ts`,
`androidRuntimeKindCache` in `adb.ts`), warmed by the usual TV-path
tools (describe, screenshot, keyboard, launch/restart-app, the streaming
blueprint, tv-control).
- New synchronous, **cache-only** readers
(`getCachedSimulatorRuntimeKind`, `getCachedAndroidRuntimeKind`) let
`refineTvPlatform` in `http.ts` map `ios → tvos` / `android →
android-tv` with **no new `simctl`/`adb` round-trip** on the hot path.
- The registry **device** `Platform` (`@argent/registry`) is
intentionally left unchanged — a TV stays a `runtimeKind`, not its own
device platform, so capability gating and dispatch remain TV-agnostic.
The two new values are confined to the telemetry boundary (`tool:invoke`
/ `tool:complete` / `tool:fail` and child sub-tool attribution).

## Behavior notes

- The **first** tool call on a device may land before the cache is warm
and reports the coarse base platform (`ios`/`android`); subsequent
calls, once describe/screenshot/streaming have run, report the TV
variant. This is best-effort coarse telemetry by design.
- For an `emulator-NNNN` slot reclaimed by a different-form-factor AVD
within one tool-server lifetime, the synchronous reader can momentarily
report the prior occupant's kind until an async, avdName-checked path
re-probes. Documented inline; no crash and no dispatch impact.

## Verification

- **Live E2E** against real booted devices (real `simctl`/`adb` → real
cache → real http telemetry recording): Apple TV → `tvos` (cold-cache
`ios`, warm `tvos`); iPhone → `ios`; Android phone → `android`. The
`android-tv` path is symmetric and covered by unit/integration tests
with real leanback-feature probing.
- Unit + integration tests added: sanitize allowlist, http platform
inference (cold/warm/TV/child), and cache readers. Telemetry suite
192/192; tool-server affected suites green.
- `tsc` build, `typecheck:tests`, eslint (`--max-warnings 0`), and
prettier all clean.

Hubert Gancarczyk 3393d22edd feat(telemetry): derive distinct_id from a stable host fingerprint (#444)
## Summary

Replaces the random-UUID telemetry `distinct_id` with a stable
per-machine id derived from the host fingerprint, so PostHog's native
"Unique users" counts machines (funnels / retention / breakdowns work
with no HogQL). Every Argent entry point - installer, CLI, tool-server,
MCP - derives the id from one shared code path, so a given machine
reports a single identity across every event and across install /
uninstall / reinstall.

## What changed

- `distinct_id = uuidv5(hostFingerprint, NAMESPACE)`, where the
fingerprint comes from `simulator-server fingerprint`. Deterministic,
keeps the UUID shape, and never stores the raw hardware value in PostHog
(only the SHA-1-derived UUID leaves the process).
- The fingerprint is resolved in `buildPayload` - the single `capture()`
path shared by every entry point - so installer / CLI / tool-server /
MCP all produce the same id. Resolved lazily, once per process,
memoized.
- One-time, local-only migration: the first time a fingerprint resolves,
`~/.argent/telemetry-id` is rewritten from the legacy random UUID to the
derived id. No PostHog `alias` / `$identify` event is emitted.
- Fallback: if the fingerprint can't be resolved (unsupported platform,
binary absent), the stored or a fresh random UUID is used - identically
for every entry point on that machine, self-healing to the derived id on
the next successful resolve.
- Hardening: never throws; the fingerprint is validated (exactly 64 hex,
case-insensitive) before hashing; corrupt / empty / unreadable id files
self-heal; the binary is spawned at most once per process.

## Why the id is stable across install -> uninstall -> reinstall

Uninstall deletes `~/.argent/telemetry-id`. Because the id is
`uuidv5(fingerprint)` and the fingerprint is deterministic per machine,
a fresh install recomputes the identical id. Previously only the
tool-server resolved the fingerprint while the installer emitted under a
random UUID, so this cycle produced a different random id each time.

## Bundling note for reviewers

`@argent/telemetry` now depends on `@argent/native-devtools-ios` to
locate the binary. That package computes its bin dir from `__dirname` at
module load, which is undefined in an ES module. The installer / CLI /
MCP ship as ESM bundles, so `bundle-tools.cjs`'s ESM banner is extended
to shim `__dirname` / `__filename` (the CJS tool-server bundle already
has them natively). Without this shim those bundles would crash on load,
so the banner change is load-bearing.

## Testing

- Unit: 219 telemetry tests - RFC 4122 v5 vectors, migration,
idempotency, case/length validation, corrupt-file self-heal,
spawn-at-most-once, and all fallbacks.
- E2E on a real machine + booted iPhone 16 Pro: installer, CLI, and
tool-server runtimes all emit the same derived id; the id is stable
across a delete/recreate (uninstall/reinstall) cycle; a legacy v4 id
migrates locally with no alias/identify emitted; verified from an ESM
bundle placed in the real install's `dist/` so the binary resolves via
the bundled `__dirname` with no env override; tool calls against the
device carry the same id.

filip131311 1aaa94d118 feat(telemetry): detect cloud/remote AI-agent environment and tag every event (#418)
## What

Adds a **`cloud_agent`** field to the base telemetry props — alongside
`is_ci` — naming the **cloud/remote AI coding-agent environment** the
process is running in, or `null`. Since it lives in the base props, it's
attached to **every** telemetry event automatically.

Crucially this is **cloud-only**: it fires for vendor-hosted / remote
autonomous runs, **not** for a developer running an agent CLI locally. A
laptop `cursor-agent`/`claude` session returns `null`; only a genuine
remote environment resolves to a slug. (Generic cloud/CI execution stays
`is_ci`; this names the specific agent.)

## How

- **New `packages/telemetry/src/cloud-agent-detect.ts`** —
`detectCloudAgent(env?)` returns a canonical slug or `null`. Modelled on
`ci-detect.ts`: takes `env` lazily for tests, runs nothing at import
time, and only ever emits a fixed allowlist slug — a raw env value is
never copied into telemetry.
- **`base-props.ts`** — adds `cloud_agent: CloudAgent | null` next to
`is_ci`, computed once in the memoized invariant block (no per-event
cost in the long-lived tool-server).

## Signals (only high-confidence remote markers; local CLI use → `null`)

| Slug | Cloud marker | Basis |
|---|---|---|
| `claude_code` | `CLAUDE_CODE_ENVIRONMENT_KIND ∈ {byoc,
anthropic_cloud}`, a `remote_*`/`claude-in-teams` entrypoint, or
`CLAUDE_CODE_REMOTE_SESSION_ID` | Verified against the Claude Code
binary's own internal cloud check |
| `cursor` | `CURSOR_AGENT_WORKER_ID` / `CURSOR_WORKER_POOL_NAME`
(worker/pool exec) | Verified `cursor-agent` reads it from env; the
local CLI sets `CURSOR_AGENT` + `CURSOR_AGENT_CLI_LOCAL_MODE` instead |
| `copilot` | `GITHUB_ACTIONS` + `copilot-swe-agent` actor/workflow |
Confirmed actor identity (also `is_ci`) |
| `replit` | `REPLIT_AGENT` | Agent-specific (the broad `REPL_ID` fires
in any Repl and is **not** used) |
| `devin` | `/opt/.devin` VM marker | Confirmed (`@vercel/detect-agent`)
|
| `jules` | `/opt/environment_summary.sh` VM marker | Confirmed
(official Jules docs) |

### Deliberately excluded
- **Codex cloud** — no reliable cloud-specific marker exists
(`CODEX_SANDBOX` is the *local* sandbox signal; OpenAI declined an
`AGENT=codex` flag in `openai/codex#13416`). Not detected rather than
guessed.
- **Local agent CLIs** — `CURSOR_AGENT`, `CLAUDECODE` with
`entrypoint=cli`, plain `REPL_ID` workspaces: intentionally `null`.

## Privacy
Reads only a fixed allowlist of env-var **names** plus two filesystem
markers (`/opt/.devin`, `/opt/environment_summary.sh`); emits only a
fixed slug. The filesystem checks are injectable and guarded so a
permission error can never break telemetry.

## Tests
- New `test/cloud-agent-detect.test.ts` — every vendor signal, plus the
key **negatives** (local Claude `entrypoint=cli`, local `cursor-agent`,
plain Repl `REPL_ID`, normal CI run) asserting `null`.
- Updated `test/base-props.test.ts` for the renamed key.
- Full telemetry suite **191 passing**, typecheck + build clean. Live
check confirms this local Claude Code session resolves to `null` while a
simulated `byoc`/remote env resolves to `claude_code`.

> Scope note: started as a broad "is an agent in the loop" flag
(`agent_env`); narrowed to cloud-only per review — a human using an
agent locally shouldn't look like a cloud run.

Hubert Gancarczyk 0edefebe06 fix(telemetry): orchestator sub-tools invocations was missing ai_client and platform attributes (#400)
## Summary

Fixes telemetry attribution for tools dispatched by orchestrators.
`run-sequence`,
`flow-execute`, and `flow-add-step` run their steps via
`registry.invokeTool()`
directly, which minted a fresh, unregistered invocation id per nested
call — so the
`ai_client` / `platform` the HTTP layer captured for the outer request
never reached
the nested gestures, and they were recorded as **anonymous** in
telemetry.
Remove `opt_out` event that is a leftover.

## Changes

- Add an optional `recordChildInvocation` recorder to
`InvokeToolOptions` /
`ToolContext`, bound by the HTTP layer to the outer request's
attribution.
- New `invokeSubTool` helper: registers each sub-tool under a minted id
inheriting
the request's AI client, with the platform re-derived from the
sub-tool's **own**
device arg (`udid` / `device_id` / `avdName`); forwards the recorder so
propagation
survives arbitrary nesting (e.g. `flow-execute → run-sequence →
gesture-tap`).
- Route the three orchestrators' sub-dispatch through
- Refactor platform inference in the HTTP layer into a shared
`platformFromArgs`
  helper (also hardened to not throw on a malformed device arg).
- Remove opt_out event leftover

Why re-derive platform per child: an orchestrator like `flow-execute`
has no platform
of its own and a single flow can target several devices, so the child's
device arg is
the only correct platform source; the parent's platform is the fallback.

Hubert Gancarczyk 8483fe23f9 feat: add telemetry (#274)
## Summary

Adds anonymous, opt-out telemetry for Argent installer, update/uninstall
flows, CLI telemetry controls, tool-server lifecycle, and tool
invocation health signals.
## What Changed
- Added a new private `@argent/telemetry` package
- Introduced typed telemetry events with runtime property
allowlisting/sanitization.
- Added lazy anonymous identity creation in `~/.argent/telemetry-id`.
- Added consent handling via: `argent telemetry enable`, `argent
telemetry disable`, `argent telemetry status`
- Added local debug logging with `ARGENT_TELEMETRY_DEBUG=1`.
- Tracks installer funnel events for init, global install/update
decisions, editor selection, allowlist decisions, skill installation,
rules/agents copy, update, and uninstall.
- Tracks tool-server start/stop and tool invocation/complete/fail
events.
- Adds per-tool invocation IDs so request metadata can be correlated
without relying on ordering.
- Records only coarse platform metadata (`ios` / `android`) for device
tools
- Ensures short-lived commands drain telemetry with bounded shutdown
before exit.
- Wires telemetry package into bundling and injects full Argent CLI
version metadata at build time.
- Added central `FAILURE_CODES` and `FailureSignal` helpers in
`@argent/registry`.
- Attached structured, sanitized failure metadata across registry
errors, tool-server tools/services, HTTP validation/dependency gates,
installer flows, and `argent run`.
- Added telemetry allowlisting for safe failure fields only: static
error codes/stages, coarse area/kind/command, bounded exit codes,
allowlisted signals/spawn codes, and coarse network failure classes.
- Split CLI-local `argent run` failures into `cli:run_fail` so they are
not double-counted as tool failures.
- Added installer telemetry for failed package actions, update/uninstall
failures, rules/agents copy results, and skill refresh results.
- Made telemetry consent writes atomic and kept telemetry status
side-effect free via `peekAnonId()`.
- Adds a coarse, anonymous signal to tool telemetry: which AI coding
tool is driving the MCP server (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini, VS
Code, Windsurf, Zed, opencode, Copilot, or other).

## Tests Added / Updated

- Telemetry unit coverage for consent precedence, identity creation,
base props, sanitization, PostHog config, debug logging, shutdown,
opt-out, and forget behavior.
- Registry/tool-server tests for invocation IDs, platform metadata
boundaries, startup failure flushing, and tool lifecycle telemetry.
- Installer tests for final telemetry drain, update action
classification, and uninstall identity cleanup ordering.
