The keyword gate (#1126) can never know a repo's domain nouns. This adds the graph-derived tier the design discussion converged on: symbol names are split into prose segments at index time (name_segment_vocab, riding the insertNode write path), and the hook verifies a prompt's plain words against them — "the state machine des commandes" → OrderStateMachine, in any language whose technical nouns are Latin script. Confidence now decides HOW MUCH to inject, not just whether: - HIGH (keyword, or index-verified code token): full explore injection, unchanged — the validated adoption lever. - MEDIUM (segment matches only): a ~500-byte pointer naming the matching symbols; the AGENT writes the explore query. Never runs explore, so a fuzzy match can't inject 16KB of wrong-feature context. - Silent otherwise, as before. Precision is derived from the repo's own naming statistics plus measured FP fixes: co-occurrence (≥2 words on one name) always qualifies; a single word must be ≥5 chars, cluster across 2–25 names (singletons are prose coincidence: "deploy to production" → matchesNonProductionDir), match a multi-segment name, and not be an English function/filler word (the one place a word list is honest: identifiers are English, so only English prose collides). Every candidate is re-verified against nodes before being surfaced — vocab rows are proposals, deletions leave orphans by design, a full index rebuilds from scratch, and sync heals pre-upgrade databases (batched + yielding; emptiness captured at sync ENTRY so the sync's own writes can't mask the backfill). Schema v7 migration is DDL-only (instant; none of the #1067 row-churn hazards). Gate outcomes roll up as anonymous usage counters (prompt-hook-gate-<outcome>, names only, never content) through the existing telemetry pipeline — recall becomes measurable, and the counters are the agreed kill-criterion data for ever revisiting a local classifier.

Telemetry
CodeGraph collects a small set of anonymous usage statistics — which commands and tools get used, which languages get indexed, which agents drive usage — so we can tell which of the 20+ languages and 8 agent integrations deserve the most work. This page is the complete list of what is collected. If a field isn't on this page, it isn't collected; the ingest endpoint enforces this list as an allowlist and is itself public, auditable code in this repository.
Turning it off
Any of these works, permanently:
codegraph telemetry off # stores your choice (and deletes any unsent data)
export CODEGRAPH_TELEMETRY=0 # per-shell / per-CI override
export DO_NOT_TRACK=1 # the cross-tool standard — always honored
codegraph telemetry status shows the current state, what decided it, and your machine ID.
The interactive installer (codegraph install) asks up front with a visible default-on
toggle and never re-asks. If you never saw the installer (e.g. npx straight into init),
a one-line notice is printed to stderr before the first time anything is sent.
Off means off: when disabled, CodeGraph records nothing, opens no connection to the telemetry endpoint, and sends no "opted out" ping.
What is collected
Every payload carries this envelope:
| field | example | notes |
|---|---|---|
machine_id |
b3a8c1… |
random UUID minted on first send — derived from nothing |
codegraph_version |
0.9.9 |
|
os / arch |
darwin / arm64 |
platform identifiers only |
node_major |
22 |
major version only |
ci |
false |
whether the CI env var was set |
schema_version |
2 |
bumped when this page changes (v2 dropped the index event's sqlite_backend field) |
And one of four events:
install— whencodegraph installconfigures agents: which agents (["claude","cursor",…]), global vs project-local, and whether it was a fresh install, an upgrade, or a re-run.index— when a full index completes: the language names present (e.g.["typescript","go"]), the file count as a coarse bucket (<100,100-1k,1k-10k,10k+), and the duration as a bucket (<10s,10-60s,1-5m,5m+).usage_rollup— one line per day per tool: the tool or CLI command name (e.g.codegraph_explore,init), how many times it ran, how many errored, and — for MCP tools — the connecting agent's name and version from the MCP handshake (e.g.Claude Code 2.1). The Claude Code prompt hook also counts its gate decision (fired fully, fired as a hint, or did nothing — fixed counter names likeprompt-hook-gate-medium-segment); the prompt itself is never read, stored, or sent.uninstall— whencodegraph uninstall/uninitruns: which agents were removed.
Usage is aggregated locally into daily totals before anything is sent — there is no per-call event stream, and nothing is sent in real time.
What is never collected
- No source code. No file paths, file names, directory names, repository names or URLs, symbol names, search queries, or anything else derived from the contents of an indexed project.
- No IP addresses. The ingest endpoint never reads, logs, or forwards the client IP, and IP discarding is enabled at the analytics backend on top of that. No geolocation.
- No fingerprinting. The machine ID is a random UUID stored in
~/.codegraph/telemetry.json— delete that file (or runcodegraph telemetry off, thenon) and the old ID is gone forever, with no way to reconnect it. - No personal data. No usernames, hostnames, emails, or environment variables.
How it travels
Events POST to telemetry.getcodegraph.com — a first-party endpoint whose complete
source lives in telemetry-worker/ in this repository. It validates
every event and property against the allowlist above (anything else is dropped), strips
IPs, rate-limits, and forwards to a managed analytics store (PostHog, US region) as
anonymous events. Sends are fire-and-forget with a short timeout: offline or air-gapped
machines buffer a bounded local file (256 KB cap) and never retry-loop, log errors, or
slow a command down. Telemetry never adds latency to MCP tool calls — recording is an
in-memory counter.
The engineering contract behind all of this — including the rule that schema changes must
update this page, the client, and the public endpoint in one PR — is in
docs/design/telemetry.md.
