Problem

T3CODE_TELEMETRY_ENABLED=false is the only way to stop product usage events and T3 Connect relay traces. It has to be in the server's environment before the server starts: for the desktop app that means a shell profile edit and a restart, and nothing in the app can do it. #4123 asks for an in-app control; on 2026-10-22 it was reopened because "the app still has no in-app way to turn telemetry off".

Change

Contracts: a telemetryEnabled server setting, default true, patchable like other server settings. A telemetrySetting capability lets clients hide the switch on older servers that would ignore it. observability.telemetryEnabledByEnvironment reports the variable when it is set.
Server: AnalyticsService uses the variable when set, otherwise the setting, read on every record and flush, so turning it off applies at once and discards events still waiting to be sent. Relay tracing reads the setting at startup, like the OTLP endpoints, through isRelayTracingEnabled(env, setting) in @t3tools/shared/otelEnvironment, so the precedence rule lives in one place.
Managed policy (#27197): a policy with telemetry: false still turns everything off over the variable and the setting. The switch then shows off, is inert, and gives the organization's reason, like the variable lock.
Unreadable settings: if settings.json exists but cannot be read or parsed, the setting counts as off (server, startup reader, desktop), the same way the server already treats continueThreadsAfterServerUpdate: the file may hold an opt-out we can no longer read. A missing file still means on.
Desktop shell discovery (#28556): a desktop launch still sends nothing until the login shell is read; a false (or unparseable) T3CODE_TELEMETRY_ENABLED found there turns it off and Settings shows the switch locked on its next load. A true found that late does not override the setting, since Settings already showed the setting as deciding.
Desktop: the renderer's relay tracing policy (getRelayTelemetryEnabled) also reads the local server's setting when the app starts.
CLI: t3 telemetry on|off|status [--base-dir] writes settings.json the way t3 theme does, and a running server picks it up through its file watcher. The read-and-retry-write helpers move from cli/theme.ts to cli/settingsFile.ts so both commands share them; t3 theme behaves and reports errors as before.
Web: a Product usage data switch in Settings → About, next to the privacy policy, scoped per environment like other server settings and findable in settings search. Where the variable decides, the switch shows the variable's value, is disabled, and says Set by T3CODE_TELEMETRY_ENABLED=… on <environment>.
Docs: docs/user/telemetry.md.

Scope and approval

No prior approval. I believe this is a focused configuration option for an established capability: turning telemetry off already exists through T3CODE_TELEMETRY_ENABLED, and this exposes the same switch as a setting. It controls exactly what the variable controls (server product events, server relay traces, desktop window relay traces), the default stays on, and nothing new is collected.

Out of scope: the default-on and consent questions in #4123, relay traces from the web app in a plain browser (the variable does not cover them either), mobile crash reports (they have their own switch), and a mobile UI for this setting.

Verification

apps/server: vp test run src/telemetry/AnalyticsService.test.ts src/cli/telemetry.test.ts src/cli/theme.test.ts src/cli/config.test.ts src/cloud/publicConfig.test.ts: 38 pass. New: the setting turns usage events off while the variable is unset; the variable overrides the setting; turning the setting off discards waiting events; t3 telemetry off/on/status round trip keeping unknown keys; the shell-variable note; relay config with the setting off. src/serverSettings.test.ts and src/environment/ServerEnvironment.test.ts: 54 pass.
packages/shared: src/otelEnvironment.test.ts and src/serverSettings.test.ts: 73 pass, including the precedence rule and the startup reader.
apps/desktop: src/ipc/methods/window.test.ts: 8 pass, including the renderer policy following the setting unless the host variable is set.
apps/web: settingsSearch.test.ts and SettingsPanels.logic.test.ts: 25 pass.
tsc --noEmit for contracts, shared, server, web, and desktop; vp lint and vp fmt --check on the changed files.
Manual, web: a server from this branch on a throwaway home, started without the variable (the dev runner always sets it to false) and with T3CODE_POSTHOG_HOST pointed at a closed local port. Turning the switch off wrote "telemetryEnabled": false to settings.json. With the page open, t3 telemetry on --base-dir <home> flipped the switch back on without a reload. Under the dev runner, the switch is locked and shows the variable's false.

Before	After
Before: About page without the switch	After: Product usage data switch on
After: switch turned off	After: locked by T3CODE_TELEMETRY_ENABLED=false

Not checked: a packaged desktop build (covered by the unit test only); a Windows desktop with a WSL-only backend, where the window's relay tracing reads the Windows-side settings.json; actual relay traffic, since the test server was not signed in to T3 Connect; mobile.

🟡 Medium settings/SettingsPanels.tsx:2024

When selected environments all force telemetry on but their persisted telemetryEnabled values differ, this switch displays mixed/off even though every server is sending telemetry. ScopedSwitch derives its mixed state from persisted settings and overrides the supplied checked value; derive the mixed/checked state from the effective, environment-overridden values instead.

Iinayayousfi11d ago

Fixed in a8b695fdca. When the variable decides on every selected environment, the row now renders a plain disabled Switch showing the variable's value, so saved telemetryEnabled values that do not apply can no longer make it look mixed. When only some environments are overridden, the switch still edits and reflects the saved setting, and the status line names the overridden ones.

If telemetry is turned off while a batch request is pending, flush still sends the remaining queued batches: after a successful request, continue starts the next iteration without rechecking isEnabled. Recheck inside the loop and clear the buffered and retry events before returning when disabled.

Iinayayousfi11d ago

Fixed in a8b695fdca. flush now checks the setting before each batch, so turning telemetry off while a request is in flight stops the rest of the queue and clears it. New test: 45 events (3 batches), the setting is turned off while the first request is answered, only that one batch is sent. It sends 3 without the fix.

With T3CODE_TELEMETRY_ENABLED unset, a malformed settings file makes record and flush treat telemetry as enabled and send events, even when the file contained telemetryEnabled: false. getSettings hides the parse failure and returns defaults where telemetry is enabled, so orElseSucceed(false) never runs; expose the parse failure or otherwise fail closed here.

Fixed in 88d8d8d37d. getSettings does fall back to defaults on a parse failure, so the orElseSucceed never ran. The loader already forces continueThreadsAfterServerUpdate: false for the same reason ("the file may hold an opt-out we can no longer read"); it now forces telemetryEnabled: false too, and the startup parser used for relay tracing (server and desktop) returns telemetry off for an undecodable file. A missing file still means on. Covered by the existing broken-file test in serverSettings.test.ts and the updated parser test in packages/shared.

Walkthrough

The pull request adds a persisted telemetry setting with an environment-variable override. It adds CLI and web controls, updates desktop and server telemetry enforcement, and reports setting support and overrides to connected clients. Usage events and relay tracing have different update timing.

Changes: Telemetry settings and enforcement

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Telemetry setting and configuration contract `packages/contracts/src/settings.ts`, `packages/contracts/src/server.ts`, `packages/shared/src/serverSettings.ts`, `packages/shared/src/serverSettings.test.ts`, `apps/server/src/cli/config.ts`, `apps/server/src/cli/config.test.ts`, `apps/server/src/config.ts`, `apps/server/src/serverSettings.ts`, `apps/server/src/serverSettings.test.ts`, `apps/desktop/src/app/DesktopObservability.ts`, `apps/desktop/src/app/DesktopObservability.test.ts`	Server settings add `telemetryEnabled`, which defaults to `true`, and support patches to that field. Persisted settings parsing includes the value and shared defaults. Decode failures disable telemetry. Server configuration carries the persisted value and includes the environment override only when it is defined. Desktop settings parsing uses the shared defaults and disables telemetry on read or parse failures.
CLI telemetry commands and settings updates `apps/server/src/cli/settingsFile.ts`, `apps/server/src/cli/telemetry.ts`, `apps/server/src/cli/telemetry.test.ts`, `apps/server/src/binCli.ts`, `apps/server/src/cli/theme.ts`	The CLI registers `telemetry on`, `off`, and `status`. Shared settings-file helpers handle reads and writes, and the theme command delegates its settings updates to those helpers.
Setting-aware telemetry enforcement `packages/shared/src/otelEnvironment.ts`, `packages/shared/src/otelEnvironment.test.ts`, `apps/server/src/telemetry/AnalyticsService.ts`, `apps/server/src/telemetry/AnalyticsService.test.ts`, `apps/server/src/cloud/`, `apps/server/src/environment/ServerEnvironment.ts`, `apps/server/src/server.ts`, `apps/server/src/ws.ts`, `apps/desktop/src/ipc/`	Analytics and relay tracing use the persisted setting when the environment override is unset. The environment value takes precedence. Desktop IPC captures the persisted setting for its relay-telemetry handler.
Web settings and capability reporting `packages/contracts/src/environment.ts`, `apps/server/src/environment/ServerEnvironment.ts`, `apps/server/src/ws.ts`, `apps/web/src/components/settings/*`, `docs/user/telemetry.md`	The server advertises telemetry-setting support and reports an environment override when defined. The About panel conditionally displays the setting and its environment overrides. Documentation describes the UI and CLI controls and their update timing.

Merge Risk: External image Low · previous review 4a1f7

A blank settings file can make the CLI report telemetry as on when the server has turned it off, and some mixed-server searches lead to a hidden setting. These bounded issues and the documentation and test corrections warrant follow-up, but do not establish a broad telemetry enforcement failure.

Preserve telemetry opt-outs when settings decoding fails.

parsePersistedServerObservabilitySettings returns telemetryEnabled: true when any ServerSettings field fails to decode. A file with telemetryEnabled: false and an unrelated invalid field can therefore re-enable CLI or desktop telemetry.

ServerSettingsService has a separate fallback that also restores the default true. This can re-enable usage events because AnalyticsService uses that setting when no environment override exists.

Decode telemetryEnabled independently in both fallback paths.

✅ Addressed in commits a8b695f to 88d8d8d

Iinayayousfi11d ago

Covered by 88d8d8d37d, in both paths: ServerSettingsService now falls back to telemetryEnabled: false when the file fails to decode (next to the existing continueThreadsAfterServerUpdate: false), and parsePersistedServerObservabilitySettings returns telemetry off for an undecodable file. That fails closed instead of decoding the key on its own: an opt-out in a broken file is kept, and telemetry resumes once the file is fixed. A missing file still means on.

@inayayousfi The fail-closed fallback addresses the concern in both paths. Decoding telemetryEnabled independently is not required. An undecodable file disables telemetry through the setting, while a missing file retains the default of enabled. Thanks for fixing this.

apps/desktop/src/ipc/DesktopIpcHandlers.ts:95-97 🔒 Security & Privacy | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift
Use the WSL backend’s effective telemetry setting for the desktop relay gate.
In a Windows WSL-only setup, readPersistedObservabilitySettings reads the Windows serverSettingsPath, while the WSL backend reads its own $HOME/.t3/userdata/settings.json. Therefore, WSL-side Settings or t3 telemetry off can leave the Windows value enabled. After restart, resolveRelayTracingConfig() can still create the relay exporter. A WSL-only T3CODE_TELEMETRY_ENABLED value does not override the Windows desktop process.
Make this startup gate use the selected backend’s effective telemetry value, including its environment override, instead of the Windows settings file.

Treat unreadable settings as disabled.
Effect.option converts every readFileString error to None. An unreadable existing settings.json therefore selects NO_PERSISTED_SERVER_OBSERVABILITY_SETTINGS, which sets telemetryEnabled to true. Desktop passes that value to the renderer, so relay tracing remains enabled when no environment override is set.
Handle only NotFound as an absent file. Map other read errors to the existing fail-closed parser path.

@coderabbitai thanks, on the three notes from the last review:

Unreadable settings.json on desktop (DesktopObservability.ts): fixed in cc2949eda9. Only NotFound means nothing was saved; any other read error now falls back to telemetry off, matching the server. New test in DesktopObservability.test.ts covers both cases.
Redundant comment in telemetry.test.ts: removed in cc2949eda9.
WSL backend and the desktop relay gate (DesktopIpcHandlers.ts): leaving this out of this PR. The desktop window's relay tracing is decided in the Windows process at startup, and T3CODE_TELEMETRY_ENABLED has the same reach today: a value set inside WSL does not reach the Windows desktop process either. Reading the WSL backend's effective value would need new desktop-to-backend plumbing before the window starts. The PR description lists this under "Not checked".

Keep telemetry off when settings.json is a dangling symlink.

A settings.json symlink whose target is missing fails with NotFound. The NotFound branch then returns the default settings, which enable telemetry. If the unavailable target holds an opt-out, the opt-out is ignored. The server supports settings-file symlinks, so this state can occur in dotfile-managed setups. Check the link itself before applying the missing-file default.

Iinayayousfi11d ago

Leaving this as is. The server treats a dangling settings.json link the same way: ServerSettingsService and the startup reader both check fs.exists, which follows the link, so a missing target counts as no file and the server starts on defaults. Handling it only here would make the desktop window disagree with the server it hosts, and handling it everywhere means special-casing links for a broken setup in which every other saved setting is lost too. The desktop reader keeps the same rule as the server: missing means nothing was saved, unreadable means off.

CcoderabbitaiBot11d ago

@inayayousfi Understood. Treating a dangling link as missing is intentional and keeps the desktop reader consistent with the server. My desktop-only recommendation would create inconsistent behavior.

I withdraw this finding. No change is needed here.

@inayayousfi Thanks for the updates.

Unreadable settings: The reader now treats only NotFound as no saved settings. Other read errors disable telemetry. The new test covers both cases. I checked the source but did not run the tests.
Redundant comment: Thanks for removing it.
WSL relay tracing: Understood. The desktop handler captures the local persisted setting at startup. I accept leaving backend-to-desktop coordination outside this PR. WSL-only behavior remains unverified.

Would you like a follow-up issue for passing the WSL backend’s effective telemetry value to the Windows desktop relay gate?

Any other read error must fall back to telemetryEnabled: false, because the unreadable file may contain a telemetry opt-out.

Do not introduce machinery because it looks architecturally impressive. Understand the real constraint, then fight for the smallest model that makes the correct behavior unsurprising.

Written by gpt-6.1-sol on behalf of Maria

Verified in a real dev environment

verified as-is at cc2949eda905cb542cef04f439b87c915ce9dc4c on this linux boat vm. no source changes or pushes.

reproduced the missing about-page switch on github/main (8b74a69019) in a separate worktree after vp i.
installed the exact pr head and ran one background dev server at a time, with isolated state. playwright used the repo dependency and /usr/bin/google-chrome.
created a project pointing at the real repository through the app, selected codex gpt-6.1-sol, and completed real web-client turns with telemetry on and off. no replay provider or seeded data.
clicked product usage data off: persisted telemetryEnabled: false. the provider still completed normally. a local http collector recorded the server's actual analytics requests; it received turn events while on and none during the off turn or the subsequent restart. this observes emitted requests, not production ingestion.
t3 telemetry status reported off; t3 telemetry on updated the already-open switch without reloading. off survived a server restart. t3 theme clear preserved the opt-out. settings search found product usage data.
tested both environment overrides. true locked the switch on and resumed analytics despite the saved false value; false locked it off and suppressed analytics. both displayed the matching explanation.
147 focused existing tests passed through blacksmith-check: analytics, telemetry/theme cli, server settings, relay configuration, shared settings and environment precedence. existing head ci reports 33 successful checks.

editable-switch runs removed only the dev runner's injected T3CODE_TELEMETRY_ENABLED=false from the server child environment via a temporary node preload outside the checkout. explicit override runs used the normal runner. no application source was modified.

Not verified

packaged desktop/electron behavior; native ios/android; windows/wsl and macos; multiple connected environments and mixed override states; older-server capability hiding; live t3 connect relay traces; production analytics ingestion and delivery failures. this server was not signed in to t3 connect. relay startup policy passed the existing tests, but actual relay traffic was not exercised.

Iinayayousfi9d ago

Rebased onto main (8760d063e9) to clear a conflict with #28556 in AnalyticsService.ts. Behavior there now combines both:

A desktop launch still sends no usage events while login-shell discovery is pending, and a T3CODE_TELEMETRY_ENABLED found in the login shell still decides once discovery finishes.
If the shell sets no variable, the telemetryEnabled setting decides (before this PR that case meant on).
A false in the launch environment still wins outright.

#28556's test passes unchanged; 7f0bdc7b1e adds one for the shell-without-variable case. The rest of the PR is the same as the verified cc2949eda9.

Report the shell-supplied telemetry override in server config.

The About switch reads telemetryEnabledByEnvironment from the startup config. Desktop shell discovery can set T3CODE_TELEMETRY_ENABLED after that config is read. Analytics then follows the shell value, but the switch does not lock. A user can turn the setting off and still send usage events.

Make the reported override match the value that AnalyticsService uses. The value must update when the shell patch arrives. Update only the ws.ts response, and the client still shows a stale state. The client must also receive the change.

✅ Confirmed as addressed by @inayayousfi

Iinayayousfi9d ago

Fixed in 2fa9ab5b13, in two parts. A T3CODE_TELEMETRY_ENABLED that desktop shell discovery supplies after startup can now only opt out: a shell false (or unparseable value) stops usage events, but a shell true no longer outranks the setting, so turning the switch off always stops them. The config snapshot in ws.ts now reports that opt-out from the live environment through the same AnalyticsService.environmentOptsOut helper, so Settings shows the switch locked off on its next load. Not pushed live: a Settings page already open before discovery finishes keeps showing the switch as editable until it reloads, which errs toward off since telemetry is off in that state. A live push would need a new config stream event in contracts, server and clients, which I kept out of this PR. Test: AnalyticsService.test.ts now checks that a late shell true sends nothing with the setting off (it sends without the fix).

CcoderabbitaiBot9d ago

@inayayousfi Thanks. The revised precedence addresses the privacy concern: a late shell true no longer overrides the disabled setting. The supplied ws.ts also reports the live opt-out through AnalyticsService.environmentOptsOut.

I accept the reload-only UI update for this PR. An already-open switch can remain editable, but it cannot bypass the opt-out. A live update is no longer required to address this finding.

I did not run the regression test. Would you like a follow-up issue for the live switch update?

No existing service owns the combined server-config discovery capability. ExternalLauncher owns editor and file-manager reveal-kind discovery; RemoteOpenTargets owns remote-target discovery. Do not assume either service naturally owns coordinating both. Treat extraction of server-config assembly as a separate architectural refactor rather than a prerequisite for focused changes to the existing coordination.

_{Outside diff} Clear queued telemetry on opt-out.

Clear queued telemetry on opt-out.
flushWhenDue runs every 10 seconds, and retries can defer a failed batch by 2–300 seconds. If the user turns telemetry off and on before the next check, flush sees it enabled and can send events recorded before the opt-out. Subscribe to ServerSettingsService.subscribeChanges and clear both bufferRef and deliveryRef.failedBatch when telemetryEnabled changes to false.
This is a narrow privacy-control gap, not a major privacy breach: the events were recorded while telemetry was enabled, and the user re-enabled telemetry before delivery.

@coderabbitai on the follow-up about clearing queued telemetry on opt-out: fixed in 2508a87b44. AnalyticsService now subscribes to ServerSettingsService.subscribeChanges and clears bufferRef and the retry batch as soon as a change turns telemetry off (the variable still wins when set). It uses each change's own telemetryEnabled value, since telemetry may already be back on when the change is handled, and it takes the flush lock so a batch in flight cannot be kept for retry. New test: record, turn the setting off and on before any flush, and the earlier event is not sent (it is sent without the fix).

An off→on settings change during an in-flight flush still sends queued events recorded before the opt-out. The off-change handler waits for flushLock, while the active flush checks only the current enabled state before each batch; if telemetry is re-enabled before the request completes, that check passes and the remaining batches are uploaded before discardQueued runs. Track the opt-out independently of the lock and invalidate or stop the active flush before it sends another batch.

Iinayayousfi9d ago

Fixed in 683a62859b. Opt-outs are now counted the moment the settings listener sees them, before it waits for flushLock. A flush notes the count when it starts and stops before the next batch once the count changes, even if telemetry is already back on; the listener then discards the queue when the lock frees. New test: 45 events (3 batches), the setting goes off and back on while the first request is in flight, and only that batch is sent (3 without the fix).

@inayayousfi Thanks. I inspected 2508a87b44. The change addresses the queued-event concern:

The subscriber uses each change’s telemetryEnabled value, so a later opt-in does not hide the earlier opt-out.
discardQueued clears buffered events and the failed retry batch under flushLock.
The environment-variable override still takes precedence.
The new regression test covers an off/on transition before any flush and checks that the earlier event is not sent.

I checked the source and test, but did not run the test.

Rebased onto main (d897d3f3f0) to clear conflicts with #27197 (managed policy). Telemetry is now decided in this order, highest first:

A managed policy with telemetry: false turns it off (usage events, server relay traces, desktop window relay traces), as #27197 does.
T3CODE_TELEMETRY_ENABLED, including the desktop login-shell rules from #28556.
The telemetryEnabled setting.

relayLayer keeps #27197's optional tracingConfig and computes it from the setting when none is passed; the desktop installRelayTelemetryEnabled takes the setting read at startup. a741dcf418 locks the Settings switch off with the organization's reason where a policy turns telemetry off. #27197's policy tests pass unchanged apart from passing the policy through the analytics test helper's options.

Treat an existing whitespace-only settings file as telemetry off.
For an existing whitespace-only settings.json, readSettingsObject returns an empty object, so t3 telemetry status can report “on”. The server rejects the same input in both its main and legacy decoders and disables telemetry. Set the sparse CLI result to false only in the existing-file blank branch. This preserves the missing-file default of “on”.

Replace the fixed yieldNow loop with an explicit signal.
The test yields 10 times so the settings listener can see both changes before the request completes. The test then asserts batches.length === 1. The assertion passes only if 10 turns are enough. A change in listener scheduling or in the number of effects inside the listener can make the test flaky.
Make the test layer signal when the listener has handled the opt-out. For example, complete a Deferred from the change stream and await it before returning the response. Do not rely on a fixed number of yields.
As per path instructions, hold changed tests to docs/internals/testing.md, which says "No yieldNow or sleep polling loops. Await the Deferred, take from the Queue, or drain the worker."

Align telemetry search availability with the About row.

When the command palette has a capable server and an older connected server, hasTelemetrySetting is true because one environment supports telemetrySetting. The About panel then hides the row because every connected environment must support it. The search result can therefore open /settings/about without showing “Product usage data”.

Use the same connected-environment and all-target capability check for the search predicate. Do not change the About row guard.

Not changing this one. The entry has scope: "environment", so opening it from all environments first shows a notice asking the user to pick an environment, and the row then checks only that one server. Requiring every connected server to support the setting would hide the entry for a capable server whenever an older one is also connected.

State that a shell-supplied value can only turn telemetry off in the desktop app.

The text says true enables both product events and relay tracing. This is not true for a value that desktop shell discovery supplies after startup. AnalyticsService lets that value only opt out. A shell true does not override a setting that is off. The text on shell profiles later in this file tells users to export the variable in their shell profile.

Add one sentence so users do not export T3CODE_TELEMETRY_ENABLED=true and expect it to override an off setting.

On the whitespace-only settings.json finding from the latest CodeRabbit review: fixed in the latest commit. t3 telemetry status now reports off for a blank file, and a missing file still reports on. The change is in the status command, not readSettingsObject, because t3 theme also writes through that function and would have saved telemetryEnabled: false into the file.
