e699ee9686 feat(prompt-hook): graph-derived gate tier + confidence-tiered injection + gate telemetry (#1136)
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](telemetry-worker/) in this repository.
## Turning it off
Any of these works, permanently:
```bash
codegraph telemetry off # stores your choice (and deletes any unsent data)
```
```bash
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`** — when `codegraph install` configures 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 like
`prompt-hook-gate-medium-segment`); the prompt itself is never read, stored, or sent.
- **`uninstall`** — when `codegraph uninstall`/`uninit` runs: 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 run `codegraph telemetry off`,
then `on`) 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/`](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`](docs/design/telemetry.md).
