docs(readme): say plainly whether OpenCompany phones home - #2154
Conversation
`README.md` did not mention analytics anywhere — the only occurrence of the word was an unrelated company template. Someone evaluating a GPL-3.0, self-hostable project should not have to read `docs/spec/runtime/` to answer "does this send anything about me anywhere". Adds a short section stating the four things that matter: a self-hosted or desktop install sends nothing and cannot, because the transport is behind a cargo feature the default build does not compile (`analytics = ["dep:reqwest"]` is absent from `default` in `Cargo.toml`, `Dockerfile` ships `ARG FEATURES=""`, and `src-tauri/Cargo.toml` names it nowhere); hosted tenants report shape and outcome under an opaque id because the platform builds with the feature and injects a token; no company content can ride along, because `PropValue` has no `String` variant by construction; and `OPENCOMPANY_ANALYTICS=off` turns it off. Points at the spec for the full list, and notes that crash reporting is a separate, operator-configured channel to the operator's own Sentry project so the section is not read as covering it. Describes behaviour already on `main`; no code change.

Qualify the opening statement for explicit opt-in builds.
The analytics specification permits a self-hosted or desktop binary built with --features analytics to report when OPENCOMPANY_ANALYTICS=on, with a token and usable endpoint configured. Change this summary to say that the shipped default build sends nothing, while custom builds can opt in after recompilation.

Scope the exclusion guarantee to product analytics.
When crash reporting is enabled and an operator configures a DSN, reports can include error messages, stack traces, breadcrumbs, and panics. The specification also permits company IDs, workspace paths, tool names, ledger slugs, and agent-authored text. Replace the unconditional guarantee with: no product-analytics payload contains that content.

When a self-hosted or desktop binary is compiled with analytics, setting OPENCOMPANY_ANALYTICS=on with a project token enables reporting: src/analytics/config.rs:177-223 implements this, and docs/spec/runtime/analytics.md:161-167 documents it explicitly. Therefore “Nothing, unless it is a tenant” is false for this supported configuration; clarify that shipped default binaries cannot report, while custom analytics-enabled builds can deliberately opt in.

When an operator compiles crash reporting and configures a DSN, reports may contain company IDs, workspace paths, tool names, ledger slugs, and agent-authored text from error messages, as docs/spec/runtime/crash-reporting.md:47-52 explicitly states. The absolute claim that no company content “ever leaves, on any install” can therefore mislead operators about what their configured crash channel transmits; qualify this guarantee as applying only to product analytics.

Summary
README.mddoes not mention analytics anywhere today — the only occurrence of the word is an unrelated marketing-agency company template.docs/spec/runtime/analytics.mdis thorough, but someone evaluating a GPL-3.0, self-hostable project should not have to readdocs/spec/runtime/to learn whether it phones home.Adds one short section, "What it reports about itself", between Make it yours and Documentation.

docs/spec/runtime/analytics.mdcurrently says "the four conditions in full" at line 16 while the numbered list under Configuration has five. Not fixed here to keep this PR to the README; worth a follow-up.It also adds one sentence pointing at
docs/spec/runtime/crash-reporting.md, so the section is not read as covering a channel it does not describe — crash reporting is off until an operator configures a DSN, and goes to the operator's own Sentry project rather than one this project runs.Relationship to #1950
