feat(telemetry): ask who is measured at opt-in - #1034

🎯 What & why

Before this change, --axis person named someone only after they ran aidd telemetry identity <id>, a command almost nobody finds. Otherwise the row read not set, and nothing said which name a machine was measured under. aidd telemetry on now asks that question at opt-in, and status reports the answer.

🛠️ How it works

• The question comes after consent and before any write. The command collects the choice and passes it to the on use case. The use case writes the identity only when the opt-in succeeds, so a refused on writes neither consent nor identity. The order is shown in contract.md.

• Interactive on with no identity set offers three choices:

  • the git user.name, else user.email, read through a port and only shown, never stored unless chosen;
  • another identifier, typed by the person;
  • staying anonymous.

  A typed identifier goes through personIdOf. A refused one prints the rule and asks again (telemetry.ts:79). Under AIDD_TELEMETRY=0, git is not read and the git name is not offered.

• Non-interactive. on --yes --as <id> or on --yes --anonymous. With no identity set, --yes alone exits 1 before writing anything (telemetry.ts:156): --yes never decides anything implicitly. The redesigned on has never been released (it exists on next only, since feat(telemetry): deterministic claude code token measurement, release 1 #993), so no released behaviour breaks.

• Anonymous is a label, not a value. The text report labels the person row anonymous. The JSON envelope is unchanged (kind absent, key: null), so --absent person (feat(telemetry): filter the report by task, ticket, person and more #1033) still selects that row. Choosing to stay anonymous is not stored, so the next on asks again.

• The 00-init skill reads nothing from git, so no name reaches the session transcript before the person chooses. It asks the person to type an identifier or stay anonymous, then runs on --yes --as '<id>' (single quotes escaped) or --anonymous. It runs aidd telemetry on --help first and stops if --anonymous is missing (an older CLI).

🧪 How to verify

• cd cli && pnpm test: 6621 passed, 1 skipped, on the tree merged with next.
• pnpm test:mutation:telemetry: 96.6 (floor 96), with no survivor on a changed line.
• pnpm smoke: 132/0/1. Bundle 692.8 KB of a 695 KB budget.
• node scripts/check-claude-tokens-end-to-end.cjs cli/dist/cli.js, and again with --attended: both exit 0.
• Run in a sandbox, with HOME and the config directories set to temporary ones:
  • aidd telemetry on --yes --as "Ada Example" prints Measured as "Ada Example".
  • aidd telemetry report --person "Ada Example" selects that person's call.
  • aidd telemetry report --absent person prints Selected: person = anonymous.
• Red runs, guards and gate outputs are in evidence.md. An independent review approved in round 2: review.md.

⚠️ Heads-up

• The bundle has 2.2 KB of headroom left.
• The --person filter compares against this machine's own identity. Locally, it selects every call or none until team figures are gathered (feat(framework): upload out of band, never at the session's expense #662).
• Locally, the pre-push suite failed twice under load, without naming a failing test, then passed on rerun. The suite also passes when run directly. Worth watching in CI.
