Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Improvements

    • Installation failures are now categorized with clearer failing-step and retryability information.
    • Diagnostic messages are sanitized and summarized, helping identify issues without exposing sensitive details.
    • Failure reporting now distinguishes common issues such as database, migration, and application errors.
  • Documentation

    • Documented the available installation failure categories, failed steps, and retryability indicators.
    • Clarified that raw error messages are excluded from telemetry.

Capture install output and report a closed failure category, precise step, and safe retryability without exposing raw diagnostics.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The development install flow now captures install output, classifies failures by category and step, determines retryability, and emits sanitized telemetry tags. Documentation defines the new failure-only tags.

Changes

Install failure telemetry

Layer / File(s) Summary
Failure classification and diagnostics
internal/tui/dev/install_failure.go, internal/tui/dev/install_failure_test.go
Adds output cleanup, failure categorization, failing-step detection, retryability rules, diagnostic extraction, and classification tests.
Install output capture
internal/tui/dev/model.go, internal/tui/dev/model_commands.go, internal/tui/dev/lifecycle.go
Carries collected install output through completion messages and passes it to failure classification.
Failure telemetry tags
internal/tracking/events.go, internal/tui/dev/telemetry.go, internal/tui/dev/telemetry_test.go, docs/TELEMETRY.md
Adds failure category and retryability tags, emits sanitized failure metadata, tests the telemetry path, and documents the event tags.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 7c0b2

The install flow now retains complete helper output to classify failures, which can increase memory use or terminate the CLI when output is exceptionally large. Telemetry remains limited to safe categorical fields, so the PR is mergeable with explicit owner awareness and follow-up to bound retained output.

248-251: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Trim whitespace before removing the relay prefix.

installRelayPrefix is anchored at the start of the line. If the helper indents a line, the prefix stays, and installFailureStep no longer matches the Start: prefix. Trim first, then remove the prefix, then trim again.

 func cleanInstallLine(line string) string {
-	line = installRelayPrefix.ReplaceAllString(ansi.Strip(line), "")
-	return strings.TrimSpace(line)
+	line = strings.TrimSpace(ansi.Strip(line))
+	return strings.TrimSpace(installRelayPrefix.ReplaceAllString(line, ""))
 }

190-203: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick win

Use a distinct not-found sentinel in installFailureStepIndex.

installFailureStepIndex returns 0 for an unknown step and 0 for the first step system:install (see internal/shop/install/steps.go lines 14-21). canRetryInstallFailure then rejects both through index > 0. The result is correct today, but the two cases are indistinguishable. If the step list is reordered, retryability changes silently.

Return -1 when no step matches, and state the first-step exclusion explicitly.

♻️ Proposed refactor
 func canRetryInstallFailure(step string, categoryAllowsRetry bool) bool {
-	return categoryAllowsRetry &&
-		step != installUserCreateStep &&
-		installFailureStepIndex(step) > 0
+	idx := installFailureStepIndex(step)
+	if idx < 0 {
+		// Failure before or outside a known step: retrying is not safe.
+		return false
+	}
+	// The first step is not retryable, because it may have partially applied.
+	return categoryAllowsRetry && idx > 0 && step != installUserCreateStep
 }
 
 func installFailureStepIndex(step string) int {
 	for i, candidate := range install.Steps {
 		if candidate.Pattern == step {
 			return i

I would also kill retryable wdym? I don't see any value of that information for us in telemetry

I agree.
Tomasz Turkowski (@tturkowski) since this is your domain: do you also agree? And if so, could you add the necessary changes to the code + dashboard? :)

Anne (@Ant1gua) agree, go for it. I was actually ignoring this field for now in the dashboard so no changes required here
