R5 blockers
- Negative install-state latch was cached for the process lifetime, but
only `true` is monotonic across processes. A long-lived preview server
held a stale `false` and could re-enrol after another process tripped
the breaker. Only the positive is cached now; `false` re-reads.
- The real breaker writer used writeConfig(), which collapses
{ok:true, mirrored:false} to success, so a run that mirrored nothing
reported done with the latch only on the erasable store. It consumes
writeConfigWithResult and retries until both stores carry it.
Bucketing integrity
- Storage-restricted Studio profiles all bucketed on the literal
"anonymous": computed against the shipped hash, 100% of them were
enrolled in calibration-50 rather than 50%, and they merged into one
PostHog person. Per-session random id instead — persists nothing.
- bucketSeed had read/write authority backwards: install-state is
write-once authoritative, but readConfig took config.json's blindly, so
the stores could hold different seeds until a re-mint flipped every
cohort. Merged on read, like the latch.
- An unwritable ~/.hyperframes with no config.json re-minted per call,
re-rolling the seed on every command, and the "cohorts will not be
stable" warning was unreachable on that path.
- A corrupt PRE-MOVE state file was never deleted, so a machine reset
with `rm -rf ~/.hyperframes` reported predecessorFound/stateFileCorrupt
forever — poisoning the exact metric this work exists to produce.
Opt-out honoring
- CLI canary decisions memoized per process, so `hyperframes telemetry
disable` during a running preview server was ignored for hours while
the server kept serving pre-opt-out decisions. The memo is keyed on the
telemetry posture.
- shouldTrack() memoized, contradicting policy.ts's documented "not
memoized" contract that policy.test.ts asserts.
- The Studio override path resolved the bucket unit eagerly as an
argument, minting and PERSISTING a tracking id for an opted-out profile
— a value evaluateCanary discards unread.
- Storage reads could throw out of telemetry into a post-commit catch
block, reporting an already-committed edit as failed.
- readConfig printed an unsilenceable stderr warning on every invocation
for installs that opted out of telemetry entirely.
Host split
- isLoopbackHost rejected 0.0.0.0, so the documented
HYPERFRAMES_PREVIEW_HOST LAN mode silently lost CLI→Studio identity
stitching and split one user across two PostHog persons. Identity is
now allowed when the operator explicitly opted into LAN binding.
- Corrected the comment claiming the guard refuses spoofed Hosts: a
non-browser client sets Host freely. It is a browser DNS-rebinding
mitigation, not access control, and now says so.
Semantics and test hygiene
- percentage:100 did not mean everyone — exclude and no_unit_id sat above
the fast path, so the registry's "delete the entry at 100" step was an
unstaged flip for CI and seedless installs.
- CLI cohort adoption returned before evaluateCanary, dropping Studio's
own webdriver exclusion.
- overdueCanaries() was asserted against wall-clock time, so the whole
core suite would go red on 2026-09-15 for every unrelated PR; and `>`
against midnight made a canary overdue ON its sunset date.
- Statistical assertions ran on unseeded randomUUID() populations tight
enough to fail ~1 run in 200. Seeded.
Also: broke a config -> policy -> transport -> config import cycle by
moving POSTHOG_API_KEY to a leaf module.
Tests: 2347 CLI (bundle absent), 3153 Studio, 1450 core. Fault injection
covers the latch, seed authority, LAN identity, webdriver exclusion and
the anonymous-bucket fix. Two pre-existing tests asserted behaviour these
findings identify as wrong (shouldTrack memoization, 100%-excludes-CI)
and were rewritten with the reasoning stated.

import.meta.env is undefined in Next.js Turbopack/Webpack, causing
"Cannot read properties of undefined" when the studio telemetry client
loads. Wrap accesses in try-catch so they gracefully fall back.
Also hardcode the PostHog API key and host — they're public write-only
values with no reason to be overridable via env.
Addresses review comments on #982:
- studio shouldTrack(): adds VITE_HYPERFRAMES_NO_TELEMETRY (mirrors CLI's
HYPERFRAMES_NO_TELEMETRY) and import.meta.env.DEV gates so dev / CI
studio builds don't pollute production telemetry. shouldTrack() is now
exported for testability.
- App.tsx session dedupe: moves the once-per-session check from a useRef
(which resets on HMR / remount) to sessionStorage via new
hasFiredSessionStart / markSessionStartFired helpers in config.ts.
- studioRenderTelemetry.ts: documents why `workers` is intentionally
omitted from emitStudioRenderError (studio renders don't accept a
user-supplied worker count, so early failures genuinely don't know one).
- client.ts flush(): documents fire-and-forget no-retry design so future
hands don't accidentally add retry logic that double-counts.
Tests:
- studioRenderTelemetry.test.ts (8 tests): perfPayload mapping for every
RenderPerfSummary field, undefined-perf path, missing-extract path,
zero-elapsed edge case, error event shape.
- studio/telemetry/events.test.ts (4 tests): pin event names
(studio_session_start, studio_render_start) and payload shape.
- studio/telemetry/client.test.ts (9 tests): shouldTrack() returns false
for non-phc_ key, opt-out, doNotTrack, build-time env, vite dev mode;
memoization.
