Stamp official Docker builds with a low-cardinality provenance marker and report build_provenance/image_modified in anonymous telemetry. Local and fork builds default to custom, while official GitHub/GitLab release paths mark images as official.
Add a once-a-day anonymous heartbeat (PostHog) so maintainers can see
active installs and version/OS breakdowns. Self-hosted friendly: opt out
via TELEMETRY_ENABLED in .env or the Admin -> System toggle (applied
without a restart), or by clearing the endpoint/key.
- Share version resolution in bot/utils/app_version.py so the admin
sidebar and the beacon report the same build version
- TelemetryWorker sends an opaque install id plus coarse facts only
(version, OS/arch, python, locale, enabled providers, user-count
range); never tokens, domains or user data
- Register the worker in main_worker.py behind a Redis single-flight lock
- Expose TELEMETRY_* settings and an Admin -> System manifest toggle
- Document the payload and opt-out in docs/configuration/telemetry.md
- Cover bucketing, payload shape and anonymity with tests
