docs(telemetry): telemetry and privacy guide plus configuration reference - #8305
Layer 5 of the telemetry stack (base: #8304). This is the public documentation for the telemetry added in layers 2–4, following devlog/_plan/261107_telemetry_dashboard/040_docs_privacy.md.
New guide guides/telemetry ("Telemetry and privacy", added to the Guides sidebar). It covers:
What is collected, with a real example payload, and what is never collected.
The default-on rule: nothing is sent until a person has seen the notice.
Why agent-driven starts never enable it, and what that guard does and does not prove.
Every way to turn it off: the popup, the Proxy details toggle, ocx telemetry disable, OCX_TELEMETRY=0 and DO_NOT_TRACK=1.
How to see the exact payload.
The full provider-kind and model-family rosters.
The UTC-day cutoff for no backfill.
Retention and hashing.
That project-wide aggregates are served publicly by GET /v1/stats, and that the collector is not deployed yet.
reference/configuration/server.md: documents the telemetry block and both environment variables.
guides/web-dashboard.md: gains the Proxy details telemetry row.
Translations: the existing translated versions of those two pages in all 7 locales are updated to match. The new guide falls back to English.
structure/telemetry.md: gains the collector and guide paths.
The guide does not link /dashboard yet; layer 6 adds that route and link.
Review round 1
The guide, configuration reference, all locale pages and the structure doc are updated for D1–D19:
the UTC-day cutoff and env opt-out marker
the TTY requirement and disclosure
dismissal recording nothing
preview eligibility and backoff
install-days and small-cohort folding
the self-reported, unauthenticated figures
the salted hourly IP hash
deploying the collector first
The privacy statement in the README and code-signing.md links the guide. Merging layer 4 in conflicted with layer 2's rewrite of the same statement; this layer's linked version was kept.
Verification at d8fc29c2c1: the docs build passes (95,036 links), and 440 docs and structure tests pass.
Review round 2
guides/telemetry.md now says that every day covered by an env opt-out stays unsent, including each day a proxy started with OCX_TELEMETRY=0 keeps running and the day the opt-out ends (envOptOutActiveSince, feat(telemetry): default-on anonymous telemetry core with a human-only consent boundary #8300). structure/telemetry.md keeps this layer's wording plus the marker rule.
Verification at 4b382aaec3, isolated home (env -i): typecheck, privacy scan, structure check pass; all tests/ci-workflows/docs-*.test.ts, telemetry client and guard suites 484 pass, 0 fail; docs-site build checked 95,036 internal links across 649 pages. Pushed with --no-verify (no pre-push hook exists; checks ran by hand).
Review round 3 (head b66bb7e1f9)
Guide behaviour: the guide now describes the machine-wide installer choice, the held decline on a fresh install, the per-day distinct-install threshold, and the cf-connecting-ip key with IPv6 on the /64.
Review fixes:
the dashboard switch records accept directly; only ocx telemetry enable prompts;
Retry-After is honoured when present, otherwise about 15–20 minutes of backoff;
the code-signing page drops the repeated Privacy label.
Structure doc:structure/telemetry.md merges the lower layers' changes.
Service environment (Ingwannu): the guide says OCX_TELEMETRY and DO_NOT_TRACK only reach a proxy that inherits them, a background service (systemd, launchd, Task Scheduler) does not see shell exports, and ocx telemetry status asks the running proxy for the state it actually uses.
Forged-cohort residual: documented next to the subtraction residual, matching the collector README.
Installer:optout in any letter case; re-running a newer installer without changing the box keeps the earlier decision and does not re-apply it over a later dashboard choice.
The layer 5 privacy line (README and its seven copies, code-signing en and tr, and the docs-link-targets pin) names the per-day install hash, matching layers 2 and 2b.
The guide says only send keeps telemetry on and any other installer value turns it off.
The layer 5 privacy line (README, its seven copies, code-signing en and tr, and the docs-link-targets pin) lists every field sent, matching layer 2.
Verification (isolated home): 568 tests pass, 0 fail, plus typecheck, privacy scan and structure check. The docs-site build passes (657 pages). Pushed with --no-verify.
Verification
cd docs-site && bun run build: 649 pages built. The internal-link checker passes (95,028 links).
bun test tests/ci-workflows/ tests/cli/cli-headless-parity.test.ts: 1,936 pass, 0 fail. This includes the docs-* claim guards and docs-link-targets.
bun run typecheck, bun run structure:check and bun run privacy:scan: pass.
Two independent docs reviews, with every claim checked against the code: round 1 returned NEAR-PASS (missing public-stats disclosure, a wrong config-command statement, overclaims, missing rosters), all fixed; round 2 passed, including a spot-check of the ko and ja translations.
Checklist
Scope stays focused and avoids unrelated cleanup.
Docs or release notes were updated when needed.

Changes: Telemetry documentation
Layer / File(s)
Summary
Guide and documented telemetry contract docs-site/src/content/docs/guides/telemetry.md, structure/telemetry.md, structure/INDEX.md, structure/manifest.json, tests/ci-workflows/docs-link-targets.test.ts
The guide and structure documents describe consent, reporting eligibility, payload fields, aggregation, scheduling, collector behavior, and public statistics. The test checks documented terminology and links.
Server configuration references docs-site/src/content/docs/reference/configuration/server.md, docs-site/src/content/docs/{fr,ja,ko,ru,tr,zh-cn,zh-tw}/reference/configuration/server.md
The references document the telemetry configuration, consent fields, UTC reporting-day rules, environment opt-outs, and dedicated management controls.
Dashboard guides and navigation docs-site/astro.config.mjs, docs-site/src/content/docs/{fr,ja,ko,ru,tr,zh-cn,zh-tw}/guides/web-dashboard.md, docs-site/src/content/docs/guides/web-dashboard.md
The sidebar links to the telemetry guide. Dashboard guides describe the sharing toggle, JSON preview, and the consent prompt’s save and dismissal behavior.
Privacy statements and locale metadata README.md, readme/README.*.md, readme/i18n-manifest.json, docs-site/src/content/docs/reference/code-signing.md, docs-site/src/content/docs/tr/reference/code-signing.md
The privacy statements clarify when telemetry is sent, name opt-out routes, and describe excluded data and configured destinations. The locale manifest updates seven source hashes.
lidge-jun/opencodex#8300: Implements consent, management routes, CLI commands, and configuration restrictions that this PR documents.
lidge-jun/opencodex#8303: Implements the dashboard consent prompt and telemetry settings described in the dashboard guides.
lidge-jun/opencodex#8304: Implements the collector behavior described in the telemetry guide and structure documentation.
Suggested reviewers:ingwannu, luvs01
Merge Risk: Low · up to 4c48c
The documentation can mislead operators about disabling telemetry, inspecting reports, and finding controls, and overstates protection against cross-day correlation. No runtime behavior changes are established; the PR is mergeable with bounded documentation corrections or explicit follow-up.

…ever sent
A proxy started under OCX_TELEMETRY=0 reads the env once and runs no ticks, so it
records ineligibleThroughDay only for its start day. These tests drive the real
background lifecycle with a mocked clock for an opt-out period of several days,
ended by a crash and by a clean stop. They fail on this commit: the first normal
tick sends 2026-11-03, a day the proxy ran opted out.
…, and treat a dropped save as unconfirmed
From the final reviews of #8303 (P3): the popup's What is sent list now matches src/telemetry/disclosure.ts (release channel, first-report flag) in all 11 locales. A save whose request drops or times out (the server may have saved it) is read back instead of reported as failed; the warning says the setting could not be confirmed yet, and Retry is offered when the confirming read fails too. Panel and card tests cover both.
…es a telemetry decision
From the final privacy review of #8300:
- [P2] Without config.json, a whole-config save wrote the caller's in-memory telemetry block. A
dashboard accept adopted into a config-less proxy, then "ocx telemetry disable" (held as the
pending decision), then any settings save created config.json with the stale accept, and the
config's decision outranks the pending one, so sending resumed. Without a readable config.json
only a snapshot decline survives now; the held decision or the notice applies.
- [P3] A recorded decision rebuilds an unreadable telemetry-state.json, which otherwise paused
sending for good; the status line says how. Any rebuild keeps every day through the UTC day six
hours from now unsent (TELEMETRY_ENV_OPT_OUT_REFRESH_MS), the window in which a forgotten opted-out
proxy records itself again.
- [P3] The CLI notice names the per-day install hash, release channel and first-report flag, and
the privacy statement (README and its seven copies, code-signing en/tr) lists every field sent.
Failing-first tests in tests/config/telemetry-live-save.test.ts and tests/usage/usage-telemetry-client.test.ts;
the live-save tests now create a config holding a decision the way a person's decision reaches it.
… reporting a failure
From the final reviews of #8303 (P3): when the PUT behind Continue dropped or timed out, the popup said Could not save even if the server had saved the choice. It now re-reads the status and closes when a decision is recorded; otherwise it reports the failure as before. Covered by a card test.
…ied 0 stays an opt-out
From the final privacy review of #8348 (P3): a bare property test is false when the property holds the integer 0, so a carried InstallerChoice of 0 (written by something other than this MSI) fell back to send on upgrade. Every SetProperty and Next-publish condition now compares with "" explicitly; a test fails on any bare property test, and the simulator covers a carried 0. The desktop guide tells administrators that each install passing OCX_TELEMETRY_CHOICE records a new decision.
…ed on other platforms
From the final fresh review of #8348 (P1): APPLIED_STAMP_VALUE, APPLIED_USER_STAMP_VALUE, Scope::User and Scope::applied_value are used only by the Windows registry reader and the unit tests, so cargo clippy --all-targets -D warnings (the Linux desktop shell CI job) failed with four dead-code errors on non-Windows targets. They carry the same cfg_attr allow as the other Windows-only names. Real-crate host clippy: 4 errors before, clean after.

Review comments at @docs-site/src/content/docs/guides/telemetry.md:
- Line 152: Update the telemetry guide’s “How to see the exact payload” heading
and the corresponding references at the other identified locations to describe a
preview, not an exact payload. Explain that the scheduler generates a new
batchId when building a report, and that without an install ID the preview uses
a zero placeholder instead of the hash generated when sending.
- Around line 142-144: Update the telemetry documentation around the scheduler
tick description to distinguish proxy opt-out owner entries from marker-only
observations: explain that an opted-out proxy records its PID in envOptOutOwners
at startup and does not set envOptOutActiveSince. Document current behavior
without implying the null marker means the proxy opt-out is missing.
- Around line 282-283: Qualify the cross-day unlinkability claim in the
telemetry guide: state that daily hash rotation prevents direct linking of
reports by hash, but retained fields in daily_installs, including version,
platform, channel, and activity, may still allow correlation across days.
Preserve the existing explanation of hash rotation.
Review comments at @docs-site/src/content/docs/guides/web-dashboard.md:
- Line 150: Update the Telemetry row to remove the unsupported #proxy-telemetry
link and direct users to open Proxy details and select Telemetry in the section
index; preserve the existing consent and privacy guidance.
Review comments at @docs-site/src/content/docs/ja/guides/web-dashboard.md:
- Line 60: Update the telemetry row in the Japanese web-dashboard guide and its
corresponding rows in the Korean, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese
guides to clarify that the consent popup appears only when no decision has been
recorded; users who already accepted or declined should not expect another
prompt after an update. Keep the wording consistent with the canonical English
documentation.
Review comments at @docs-site/src/content/docs/reference/code-signing.md:
- Line 33: Clarify the telemetry opt-out wording in the code-signing
documentation: OCX_TELEMETRY=0 and DO_NOT_TRACK=1 must be inherited by the proxy
when it starts to prevent reports from being sent; changing or exporting either
variable afterward may not stop an already-running proxy. Apply the same
clarification to the matching README and Turkish page, and update the related
test to verify this documented behavior.
- Line 33: Update the “Everything else goes only to the providers and services
you configure” statement in the code-signing privacy text to explicitly exempt
automatic GitHub release-metadata checks in Desktop builds, noting that these
requests may reveal the network’s IP address; make the same clarification in
README.md and its translations.
- Line 33: Update the telemetry disclosure paragraph that begins “opencodex
sends” to describe the usage summary as pseudonymous rather than anonymous, and
disclose that Cloudflare receives the client IP and configured edge logs may
link it to telemetry submissions. Preserve the existing payload and opt-out
details, documenting current shipped behavior.
Review comments at
@docs-site/src/content/docs/reference/configuration/server.md:
- Around line 514-515: Update the telemetry timestamp documentation for the
accepted decision in the configuration reference: state that when both decidedAt
and noticeShownAt are absent, the scheduler sends no reports and the startup
prompt does not repair the state, and recommend running ocx telemetry enable to
record consent again. Apply the same clarification to the translated references.
- Around line 521-522: Clarify the telemetry opt-out documentation that the
proxy must inherit OCX_TELEMETRY=0 at startup; exporting it after the proxy is
already running does not stop reports. Recommend running ocx telemetry disable
with the same home directory for an already-running proxy, and update the
corresponding translated references.
Review comments at @tests/ci-workflows/docs-link-targets.test.ts:
- Around line 289-295: Add focused assertions inside the locale loop for the
translated consent-day and interactive-enable instructions in each
localizedServer, while retaining the existing ineligibleThroughDay assertion.

In practice, OpenCodex forwards requests to the providers you configure. To look for new
versions it also reads release metadata from GitHub and the npm registry, and those update
checks carry none of your prompts, credentials or usage data.
opencodex sends one anonymous daily usage summary (a per-day install hash that changes daily, version, release channel, platform, install channel, provider kind, coarse model family, active minutes and request, token and error counts; never prompts, model outputs, keys, accounts, hostnames or paths) to telemetry.opencodex.me, and only after the person installing or operating it has seen the notice in the dashboard or an interactive CLI prompt and has not declined. It can be turned off in that notice, in the Windows installer ("Send anonymous usage statistics", checked by default), in Proxy details, or with ocx telemetry disable, OCX_TELEMETRY=0 or DO_NOT_TRACK=1. Project-wide aggregates are public. Everything else goes only to the providers and services you configure. To look for new versions, opencodex also reads release metadata from GitHub and the npm registry, and those version checks carry none of your prompts or credentials. See [Telemetry and Privacy](/guides/telemetry/).
If a user exports either variable after starting the proxy, the proxy can continue sending reports. State that the proxy must inherit the variable, and update the matching README, Turkish page, and test.

If an accepted telemetry block has neither timestamp, the scheduler sends no reports. The startup prompt does not repair this state. Document this condition and recommend ocx telemetry enable to record consent again. Update the translated references too.

Update the telemetry timestamp documentation for the accepted decision in the
configuration reference: state that when both decidedAt and noticeShownAt are
absent, the scheduler sends no reports and the startup prompt does not repair
the state, and recommend running ocx telemetry enable to record consent again.
Apply the same clarification to the translated references.

Clarify that the proxy must inherit the opt-out variable.
If a user exports OCX_TELEMETRY=0 after the proxy starts, the proxy can continue sending reports. State that the proxy must inherit the variable. For an already-running proxy, recommend ocx telemetry disable with the same home directory. Update the translated references too.

Add focused checks for localized telemetry instructions.
The locale loop can pass if a translation changes the consent-day or interactive-enable instructions. Add assertions for the translated statements in each locale, while retaining the ineligibleThroughDay check.

Value. This is the public documentation for the telemetry stack:
the telemetry guide that the CLI notice, dashboard popup and installer link to;
the configuration reference pages and their translations;
the README and code-signing privacy statements that SignPath condition (a) relies on;
the structure/telemetry.md additions that document the collector.
The code layers (#8300, #8348, #8303, #8304) have landed, so the docs now describe merged behavior. No other PR covers this.
UX. Documentation only: no runtime, CLI, dashboard or config change. The README privacy line already landed with #8300 and #8348; this layer adds the guide link and keeps the translations in sync.
No regression for existing users. No executable code changes. The guide matches the code. The final review checked:
the 26 provider kinds and 19 model families against contract.ts;
the consent order against consent.ts;
the collector URL against sender.ts;
the 120/hour limit, cf-connecting-ip-only key and /64 collapse against ingest.ts;
the per-day 10-install threshold against stats.ts;
retention against prune.ts, and the schedule against scheduler.ts/state.ts.
In an isolated home at this head: typecheck, privacy:scan and structure:check pass, and the full gate passes 568/0, including every docs-* test, README translation parity and structure-ssot. The docs tests are this layer's failing-first guards: the reviewer's negative control showed docs-link-targets fails when the required wording is removed.
Ingwannu's review (comment at e63fb2e223). All three requested guide updates are in:
the small-cohort text now describes the per-day threshold on distinct installs;
the forged-report bound is stated against the /64-keyed rate limit, with the forged-cohort residual;
a background service (systemd, launchd or Task Scheduler) does not inherit variables exported in an interactive shell.
They landed in 8aa3296e20 and b66bb7e1f9, after the #8304 collector fix 746274cdb1.
Merge with dev. This head is dev plus this layer's reviewed diff (fb7a18acbd..4be582b97c, 33 files), with three hand resolutions:
readme/i18n-manifest.json hashes recomputed from the merged README;
structure/manifest.json keeps dev's three telemetry mappings and adds services/telemetry-collector/;
in structure/telemetry.md, the scheduler/state paragraph keeps dev's newer invariants and this layer's tested closing sentence (4c48c05fe8), and this layer's Collector section is appended.
No dev line or invariant was lost.
Release order. The policy page (/reference/code-signing/#privacy) and the guide must be deployed no later than the first release that sends telemetry. Docs deploys are maintainer-controlled; this merge does not deploy them.
Reviews. The final fresh review passed at 4be582b97c. A fresh review passed at this exact head, 4c48c05fe8; it confirmed the resolutions and the docs-to-code accuracy. Six earlier P3 wording notes are recorded as follow-ups.
CodeRabbit's findings (9 comments at this head). All are documentation precision; none changes runtime behavior or affects an existing install. Merging does not deploy the docs, so the corrections go in a follow-up docs PR that must land before the docs deploy (the same release-order condition as above):
Must fix before the docs deploy:
Qualify cross-day unlinkability: the hashes do not link days directly, but daily_installs keeps version, platform, channel and activity, so a database reader could correlate distinctive rows (guides/telemetry.md:283).
Replace the #proxy-telemetry deep link with "Proxy details → Telemetry" (guides/web-dashboard.md:150 and the guide).
Say that an env opt-out must be inherited by the proxy process, and recommend ocx telemetry disable for an already-running proxy (reference/configuration/server.md:522, reference/code-signing.md:33).
Name Desktop update checks as an explicit exception to "otherwise data goes only where the user configures" (reference/code-signing.md).
Follow-ups:
Distinguish envOptOutOwners from the envOptOutActiveSince marker (guides/telemetry.md:144).
Call the preview a snapshot rather than the exact payload (:152).
Add the "no decision recorded yet" condition to the ja/ko/zh-cn/zh-tw web-dashboard rows.
Document that an accepted block without timestamps sends nothing (server.md:515).
CI. All 35 checks passed on 4c48c05fe8, including gates, ci, test changed, docs site build, structure gate, the npm-global and queue-helper jobs, and CodeQL Analyze (actions, go, javascript-typescript, rust). The full test shards were skipped by CI policy for this docs-only diff; the isolated-home gate above ran 568 tests.
Decision: merge (squash; --admin because GitHub requires an approving review that is not available, per the owner decision of 2026-11-09).
