***

### Task T001 - Verify prior hosted analytics context

**Started**: 2026-05-30 10:38 **Completed**: 2026-05-30 10:39 **Duration**: 1 minute

**Notes**:

* Verified active session state with `.spec_system/scripts/analyze-project.sh --json`.
* Verified environment prerequisites with `.spec_system/scripts/check-prereqs.sh --json --env`.
* Reviewed Phase 07 Sessions 01-04 implementation notes, routing matrix, hosted payload privacy blocklist, ADR 0003, current settings drawer behavior, hosted config helpers, analytics env example comments, and local-only prerequisites.
* Confirmed tool checker did not see global `tsc`, `vitest`, or `biome`, but the workspace has local binaries in `node_modules/.bin`; verification commands will run through npm scripts or local binaries.

**Files Changed**:

* `.spec_system/specs/phase07-session05-analytics-consent-and-payload-controls/implementation-notes.md` - created implementation evidence log and recorded T001 evidence.

***

### Task T002 - Create implementation evidence notes shell

**Started**: 2026-05-30 10:39 **Completed**: 2026-05-30 10:40 **Duration**: 1 minute

**Notes**:

* Created this implementation notes file with session metadata, environment evidence, task log structure, and progress table.
* Reserved sections for source changes, docs changes, verification commands, skipped checks, and residual risks through subsequent task entries.

**Files Changed**:

* `.spec_system/specs/phase07-session05-analytics-consent-and-payload-controls/implementation-notes.md` - initialized the session evidence shell.

***

### Task T003 - Create analytics consent and payload control artifact

**Started**: 2026-05-30 10:40 **Completed**: 2026-05-30 10:42 **Duration**: 2 minutes

**Notes**:

* Added the source-backed planned-state analytics guardrail artifact for provider posture, disabled default, consent, opt-out, event taxonomy, payload allowlist, blocked payload labels, settings copy, local-only fallback, unsupported claims, and Phase 08 handoff.
* Kept the artifact explicit that this session does not send analytics events, install scripts, import analytics SDKs, ship dashboards, or close trusted erasure.

**Files Changed**:

* `.spec_system/PRD/phase_07/analytics_consent_payload_controls.md` - new analytics consent and payload-control baseline.

***

### Task T004 - Create hosted analytics protocol contracts

**Started**: 2026-05-30 10:42 **Completed**: 2026-05-30 10:43 **Duration**: 1 minute

**Notes**:

* Added protocol-owned analytics provider, status, consent state, consent requirement, approved event, allowed payload field, blocked payload label, unsupported claim, docs path, provider metadata, and guardrail summary contracts.
* Matched existing hosted identity and hosted persistence planned-state helper patterns.
* Kept runtime activation flags false and summary output bounded to stable labels and counts.

**Files Changed**:

* `packages/protocol/src/hostedAnalytics.ts` - new shared analytics guardrail contract module.

**BQC Fixes**:

* Contract alignment: Exported type guards and count helpers keep vocabulary arrays synchronized for downstream web and diagnostics consumers.
* Error information boundaries: Summary helpers expose labels, docs paths, booleans, and counts only; no raw provider config, website id, account id, path, or payload values are accepted.

***

### Task T005 - Add hosted analytics protocol tests

**Started**: 2026-05-30 10:43 **Completed**: 2026-05-30 10:44 **Duration**: 1 minute

**Notes**:

* Added Vitest coverage for analytics provider/status/consent vocabulary, optional Umami provider metadata, consent requirements, approved events, allowed payload fields, blocked payload labels, unsupported claims, uniqueness, and summary counts.
* Verified summaries do not contain synthetic provider secrets, website ids, account ids, prompt text, terminal output, or local paths.
* Focused command passed: `npx vitest run packages/protocol/tests/hostedAnalytics.test.ts`.

**Files Changed**:

* `packages/protocol/tests/hostedAnalytics.test.ts` - new protocol analytics guardrail tests.

**BQC Fixes**:

* Contract alignment: Tests verify exported arrays, type guards, provider metadata, and summary counts stay synchronized.
* Error information boundaries: Tests assert synthetic sensitive analytics, account, prompt, terminal, and path values do not appear in serialized summaries.

***

### Task T006 - Export hosted analytics contracts

**Started**: 2026-05-30 10:44 **Completed**: 2026-05-30 10:44 **Duration**: 1 minute

**Notes**:

* Exported hosted analytics protocol contracts from the package barrel.

**Files Changed**:

* `packages/protocol/src/index.ts` - added hosted analytics barrel export.

**BQC Fixes**:

* Contract alignment: Barrel export keeps web imports aligned with the protocol-owned module.

***

### Task T007 - Refine hosted config analytics metadata

**Started**: 2026-05-30 10:44 **Completed**: 2026-05-30 10:45 **Duration**: 1 minute

**Notes**:

* Added the Session 05 analytics guardrail artifact to hosted config docs paths.
* Updated analytics and Umami metadata descriptions to state disabled-default, consent separation, self-hosted readiness, and non-activation.
* Marked all analytics variables, including `UMAMI_API_KEY`, as reserved and runtime-inactive while preserving secret and browser-blocking treatment for the API key.

**Files Changed**:

* `packages/protocol/src/hostedConfig.ts` - refined analytics variable metadata and docs ownership.

**BQC Fixes**:

* Trust boundary enforcement: Analytics config and API key metadata now remain reserved and runtime-inactive, so diagnostics cannot imply activation from raw config presence.
* Error information boundaries: Metadata points to docs and descriptions only; diagnostics still expose status labels, not raw values.

***

### Task T008 - Add hosted config analytics regression tests

**Started**: 2026-05-30 10:45 **Completed**: 2026-05-30 10:46 **Duration**: 1 minute

**Notes**:

* Added hosted config coverage for reserved analytics provider, enabled flag, Umami host URL, website id, and API key metadata.
* Added explicit blocked browser-mirror metadata for Vite analytics provider, enabled flag, Umami host URL, and Umami website id so browser config helpers cannot expose raw analytics selector or website id values.
* Verified focused command passed: `npx vitest run packages/protocol/tests/hostedConfig.test.ts`.

**Files Changed**:

* `packages/protocol/src/hostedConfig.ts` - added blocked analytics browser mirrors.
* `packages/protocol/tests/hostedConfig.test.ts` - added analytics reserved-variable and blocked-mirror regression assertions.

**BQC Fixes**:

* Trust boundary enforcement: Browser-visible mirrors for analytics provider, enabled flag, Umami host URL, website id, and API key are explicitly blocked.
* Error information boundaries: Tests assert raw provider, website id, API key, and Cloudflare token values do not appear in serialized diagnostics.

***

### Task T009 - Create browser hosted analytics helper

**Started**: 2026-05-30 10:46 **Completed**: 2026-05-30 10:49 **Duration**: 3 minutes

**Notes**:

* Added pure browser helpers for analytics enabled/config/consent/opt-out readiness evaluation.
* Added safe settings copy, local-only fallback status, and guardrail summary wiring without storage, network, beacon, script, SDK, or provider side effects.
* Added allowlisted analytics payload construction with unknown key drops and blocked nested key detection.

**Files Changed**:

* `apps/web/src/lib/hostedAnalytics.ts` - new hosted analytics readiness and payload helper module.

**BQC Fixes**:

* Trust boundary enforcement: Readiness requires enabled config, supported provider, normalized host URL, website id presence, consent grant, and no opt-out before returning `ready`.
* Failure path completeness: Disabled, unavailable, consent-required, opted-out, and ready states return visible copy and stable reason codes.
* Error information boundaries: Website ids are represented as booleans only, payloads are allowlisted, and blocked keys are recorded as labels without raw values.
* External dependency resilience: Helpers perform no network calls, script injection, beacons, SDK imports, or remote writes.

***

### Task T010 - Add web hosted analytics helper tests

**Started**: 2026-05-30 10:49 **Completed**: 2026-05-30 10:51 **Duration**: 2 minutes

**Notes**:

* Added web helper coverage for disabled default, explicit disabled config, config-only denial, consent-only denial, malformed Umami URLs, missing website id, opt-out override, ready-with-consent state, payload allowlisting, blocked nested keys, and no fetch/script side effects.
* Verified focused command passed: `npx vitest run apps/web/tests/hostedAnalytics.test.ts`.

**Files Changed**:

* `apps/web/tests/hostedAnalytics.test.ts` - new readiness and payload helper tests.

**BQC Fixes**:

* Trust boundary enforcement: Tests prove config alone, consent alone, malformed URLs, and opt-out cannot activate analytics capture.
* Error information boundaries: Tests assert website ids and synthetic sensitive payload values do not appear in helper output.
* External dependency resilience: Tests assert helpers do not call `fetch` or create DOM script elements.

***

### Task T011 - Surface analytics settings status

**Started**: 2026-05-30 10:51 **Completed**: 2026-05-30 10:51 **Duration**: 1 minute

**Notes**:

* Added a passive Analytics section to the settings drawer with accessible status labeling.
* Revalidates analytics readiness when the drawer opens.
* Shows disabled, unavailable, consent-required, opted-out, or ready helper copy without a tracking control, dashboard link, script injection, beacon, recorder, or server ingestion.

**Files Changed**:

* `apps/web/src/components/SettingsDrawer.tsx` - added analytics status section and badge styling helper.

**BQC Fixes**:

* State freshness on re-entry: Analytics readiness refreshes when the settings drawer opens.
* Accessibility and platform compliance: Analytics status uses `role="status"`, an accessible label, and stable test ids.
* Error information boundaries: UI shows stable labels and reasons only; no website id, host secret, or payload values are rendered.

***

### Task T012 - Add settings drawer analytics coverage

**Started**: 2026-05-30 10:51 **Completed**: 2026-05-30 10:53 **Duration**: 2 minutes

**Notes**:

* Added SettingsDrawer coverage for disabled analytics copy, unavailable copy, consent-required wording, accessible status labeling, absence of tracking/dashboard controls, focus-safe rendering, and analytics revalidation on drawer reopen.
* Fixed the reopen test to wrap store-driven render updates in `act`.
* Verified focused command passed: `npx vitest run apps/web/tests/SettingsHostedAnalytics.test.tsx`.

**Files Changed**:

* `apps/web/tests/SettingsHostedAnalytics.test.tsx` - new component tests for hosted analytics settings copy.

**BQC Fixes**:

* State freshness on re-entry: Tests prove analytics state refreshes when the drawer reopens.
* Accessibility and platform compliance: Tests assert the status region has an accessible `Analytics status` label and focus management remains intact.
* Error information boundaries: Tests verify no tracking, analytics, or dashboard button is introduced.

***

### Task T013 - Update web README analytics boundary

**Started**: 2026-05-30 10:53 **Completed**: 2026-05-30 10:55 **Duration**: 2 minutes

**Notes**:

* Kept analytics contracts described as guardrails only, not runtime capture.

**Files Changed**:

* `packages/protocol/README_protocol.md` - added Session 05 hosted analytics contract ownership.

***

### Task T015 - Align analytics env example comments

**Started**: 2026-05-30 10:56 **Completed**: 2026-05-30 10:57 **Duration**: 1 minute

**Notes**:

* Updated the future analytics env comments to match Session 05 source behavior: readiness and scrub tests exist, but runtime analytics capture does not.
* Documented config plus consent requirements, opt-out dominance, self-hosted Umami reference, blocked Vite mirrors, payload tests, and no committed real keys.

**Files Changed**:

* `.env.local.example` - updated future analytics comments.

***

### Task T016 - Update hosted-service analytics boundary docs

**Started**: 2026-05-30 10:57 **Completed**: 2026-05-30 10:58 **Duration**: 1 minute
