PostHog Error tracking was missing the vast majority of real exceptions:
1. posthog-js's capture_exceptions: true is silenced by opt_out_capturing,
so every opted-out user vanished from the error feed even though we
could perfectly safely keep collecting their stacks (the consent
toggle's user copy gates analytics, not safety telemetry).
2. posthog-js is dynamically imported only after /api/analytics/config
resolves AND the user has consented. Errors thrown during the first
1-2 seconds (React hydration, early effects) had no listener to
catch them.
Net effect: 14d $exception count was 54 events / 10 users across ~5k DAU,
producing the misleading 99.93% crash-free curve in PostHog's dashboard.
This PR makes exception capture independent of both gates:
- apps/web/src/analytics/error-tracking.ts (new): own window.error +
unhandledrejection handlers, in-memory buffer (capped at 50 entries),
direct fetch to https://<host>/i/v0/e/ with the public phc_ key. Same
scrub layer as the posthog-js path so file paths still get redacted.
- apps/web/app/[[...slug]]/client-app.tsx: installErrorHandlers() at
module-load, before React or any feature code can throw.
- apps/web/src/analytics/provider.tsx: bootstrapExceptionTracking() in
the identity useEffect, parallel to getAnalyticsClient() — runs
regardless of consent state, fetches /api/analytics/config, hands the
phc_ key + host + distinctId to the error tracker so buffered events
can flush.
- apps/web/src/analytics/client.ts: capture_exceptions: false so
posthog-js stops also emitting $exception (would have produced
duplicate events server-side); also re-bridges the error-tracking
context inside the loaded() callback so future events inherit the
fully-resolved appVersion / sessionId.
- apps/daemon/src/server.ts + packages/contracts: /api/analytics/config
now returns key + host even when consent=false. enabled still reflects
only the analytics consent toggle (posthog-js full autocapture stays
off when enabled=false), but the always-on error tracker can read key
directly. Forks without POSTHOG_KEY still get key=null and the whole
pipeline becomes a no-op — fork-safe by construction.
- apps/web/src/analytics/scrub.ts: regex fix so packaged-mac paths like
/Applications/Open Design.app/Contents/Resources/apps/web/... (which
contain a space) get fully rewritten to app://apps/web/...; previously
the [^\s] guard stopped at 'Open' and leaked the install dir.
Validation:
- pnpm --filter @open-design/web typecheck: pass
- pnpm --filter @open-design/web test: 199 files / 1823 tests pass
(includes 8 new error-tracking.test.ts cases for buffer cap, hook
install, scrub, and direct dispatch)
- pnpm --filter @open-design/daemon test: 250 files / 2971 tests pass
- pnpm guard: pass
After release/v0.8.0 ships and rolls out, expect the crash-free curve to
drop from the artificial 99.93% to a realistic 95-98% — that's not a
regression, it's the first time we're measuring it.
