## Thinking Path > - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for work > - It emits telemetry events to understand product usage — registered event names are gated by a generated `PAPERCLIP_EVENTS` registry so the client only enqueues known, schema-approved events > - When product teams want to instrument a new behaviour, they must first register the event name — but schema registration is a commit-and-release cycle, which creates friction in fast-moving product iterations > - A proposal lane is needed: let developers mark a `track()` call with a typed `@ts-expect-error` proposal marker so the event name can be reviewed and tracked in CI before the schema is formally registered > - The existing client had no guard against unregistered event names, so any call with an out-of-registry name (or a prototype-inherited key) would silently enter the queue, state, and network flush path > - This PR adds an `Object.hasOwn(PAPERCLIP_EVENTS, eventName)` guard at the entry point of `track()` to swallow unregistered calls before any side effects, adds `scripts/extract-proposed-events.mjs` to scan source for proposal markers and emit a v2 JSON manifest with provenance and rationale, and documents the complete proposal workflow > - The benefit is that new instrumentation can be proposed and reviewed in code without touching the registered schema, and tooling can surface missing rationale before events graduate to stable ## Linked Issues or Issue Description No existing GitHub issue covers this change. This PR introduces a new feature. **Feature motivation:** Paperclip's telemetry schema is intentionally stable — registered event names are code-generated and gated. Product engineers who want to instrument a new behaviour today must land a schema change first, creating a two-step process that slows iteration. A proposal lane lets developers write the instrumentation call ahead of schema registration, protected by a compile-time `@ts-expect-error` marker that an extractor script can surface for review. This PR implements both the client-side safety gate and the extraction tooling. Refs: #9518 (closed predecessor — docs-only; this PR supersedes it with the full implementation) ## What Changed - Added `Object.hasOwn(PAPERCLIP_EVENTS, eventName)` guard at the top of `TelemetryClient.track()`: unregistered event names (including prototype-inherited keys) are now swallowed before any state, queue, or network operation - Added `scripts/extract-proposed-events.mjs`: scans TypeScript source for `@ts-expect-error -- proposed-telemetry(<issue>): <rationale>` markers; emits a v2 JSON manifest per proposed event including name, rationale, provenance (repo-relative file + line), and a `rationale_missing` flag for CI enforcement - Added `scripts/extract-proposed-events.test.mjs`: test suite covering marker parsing, multi-line markers, path validation, out-of-repo rejection, and the v2 schema output contract - Added `doc/TELEMETRY_WORKFLOW.md`: documents the proposal workflow, the canonical multi-line marker example, rationale requirements, and how to graduate a proposed event to stable schema - Updated `packages/shared/src/telemetry/README.md`: added "Proposed Events" section to the Telemetry Data Contract per the contributing guide requirement for telemetry changes ## Verification Run all of the following from the repo root: ```sh # Extractor unit tests node --test scripts/extract-proposed-events.test.mjs # Telemetry client + types tests pnpm exec vitest run --config vitest.config.ts \ src/telemetry/client.test.ts src/telemetry/client-types.test.ts \ --reporter=verbose # (run from packages/shared) # Type-check pnpm --filter @paperclipai/shared typecheck # Smoke-run the extractor in local-test mode node scripts/extract-proposed-events.mjs --ref local-test ``` All four commands pass locally. ## Risks - **Silent drop on unregistered events:** The `Object.hasOwn` guard fails closed — any event name not in `PAPERCLIP_EVENTS` is silently dropped. If the generated registry is missing an event that was previously tracked, those calls will be silently lost. Mitigation: the extractor script surfaces proposed events that need registration; the TypeScript type system already enforces `TelemetryEventName ⊆ PAPERCLIP_EVENTS` at compile time. - **Extractor is read-only:** `extract-proposed-events.mjs` reads source and emits JSON; it does not modify any files. No runtime or schema risk. - Overall risk: **low**. The guard is additive and defensive; the extractor and docs are additive only. ## Model Used - Provider: Anthropic - Model ID: `claude-sonnet-4-6` - Context window: 200 K tokens - Capabilities: tool use, extended context, code generation ## Checklist - [x] I have included a thinking path that traces from project context to this change - [x] I have specified the model used (with version and capability details) - [x] I have checked ROADMAP.md and confirmed this PR does not duplicate planned core work - [x] I have searched GitHub for duplicate or related PRs and linked them above - [x] I have either (a) linked existing issues with `Fixes: #` / `Closes #` / `Refs #` OR (b) described the issue in-PR following the relevant issue template - [x] I have not referenced internal/instance-local Paperclip issues or links (only public GitHub `#NNN` / `github.com/paperclipai/paperclip` URLs) - [x] My branch name describes the change (e.g. `docs/...`, `fix/...`) and contains no internal Paperclip ticket id or instance-derived details - [x] I have run tests locally and they pass - [x] I have added or updated tests where applicable - [x] I have updated relevant documentation to reflect my changes - [x] I have considered and documented any risks above - [ ] All Paperclip CI gates are green - [ ] Greptile is 5/5 with no open P2s, recommendations, or follow-ups - [x] I will address all Greptile and reviewer comments before requesting merge --------- Co-authored-by: Paperclip <noreply@paperclip.ing>
