It added shared protocol contracts for analytics provider, status, consent, event taxonomy, payload minimization, and unsupported claims, plus browser helpers and settings copy that keep analytics disabled unless configuration and consent requirements are both satisfied. The supporting docs were aligned to the source behavior and the session passed validation. *** ## Deliverables ### Files Created | File | Purpose | Lines | | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------- | ----- | | `.spec_system/PRD/phase_07/analytics_consent_payload_controls.md` | Analytics guardrail baseline and Phase 08 handoff reference | \~240 | | `.spec_system/specs/phase07-session05-analytics-consent-and-payload-controls/IMPLEMENTATION_SUMMARY.md` | Session closeout record | \~80 | | `packages/protocol/src/hostedAnalytics.ts` | Shared analytics contracts and summary helpers | \~260 | | `packages/protocol/tests/hostedAnalytics.test.ts` | Protocol contract coverage for analytics guardrails | \~190 | | `apps/web/src/lib/hostedAnalytics.ts` | Browser analytics readiness and payload helpers | \~220 | | `apps/web/tests/hostedAnalytics.test.ts` | Browser helper coverage and no-network regression tests | \~180 | | `apps/web/tests/SettingsHostedAnalytics.test.tsx` | Settings copy and revalidation coverage | \~120 | ### Files Modified | File | Changes | | ---------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------- | | `.spec_system/state.json` | Marked Session 05 complete and cleared `current_session` | | `.spec_system/PRD/phase_07/PRD_phase_07.md` | Updated progress, tracker status, outputs, and completion totals | | `.env.local.example` | Documented analytics-related environment boundaries | | `apps/web/src/components/SettingsDrawer.tsx` | Added passive analytics settings copy | | `docs/environments.md` | Aligned hosted analytics environment guidance | | `docs/hosted-services.md` | Aligned hosted services planning language | | `docs/privacy-and-security.md` | Aligned payload privacy and consent wording | | `docs/release.md` | Aligned release guidance to the guardrail baseline | | `packages/protocol/README_protocol.md` | Aligned protocol docs to the new analytics contracts | | `apps/web/README_web.md` | Aligned web docs to the new analytics helpers | | `packages/protocol/src/hostedConfig.ts` | Added reserved analytics variable metadata | | `packages/protocol/src/index.ts` | Exported hosted analytics contracts | | `packages/protocol/tests/hostedConfig.test.ts` | Added regression coverage for blocked browser mirrors | *** ## Technical Decisions 1. Protocol-first analytics vocabulary keeps the shared contract stable across protocol and web consumers. 2. Disabled-default browser helpers report readiness and settings copy without sending events or loading a tracking script. *** ## Test Results | Metric | Value | | -------- | ---------------------------- | | Tests | 27 | | Passed | 27 | | Coverage | Not measured in this session | *** ## Lessons Learned 1. Analytics guardrails need allowlisted payload helpers rather than ad hoc redaction. 2. Settings copy must stay honest about disabled and consent-required states to avoid overclaiming active capture. *** ## Future Considerations Items for future sessions: 1. Keep analytics activation deferred until a later session wires any actual tracking transport. 2. Preserve the local-only fallback path for blank, malformed, or revoked configuration. *** ## Session Statistics * Tasks: 25 completed * Files Created: 7 * Files Modified: 13 * Tests Added: 4 * Blockers: 0 resolved --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://faction-os.gitbook.io/faction-os-docs/.spec_system/archive/sessions/phase07-session05-analytics-consent-and-payload-controls/implementation_summary.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
