fix: telemetry improvements from deep AppInsights analysis (#587)

anandgupta42 · claude · web-flow · commit 75b077f693de · 2026-03-30T11:31:38.000-07:00
Based on 10-day telemetry analysis of altimate-code-os:

Error classification (P0):
- Add 4 new error classes: `file_not_found`, `edit_mismatch`,
  `not_configured`, `resource_exhausted`
- Move warehouse/driver keywords from `connection` to `not_configured`
- Reduces "unknown" error classification from 85%+ to ~50%

Session metadata (P0):
- Add `os`, `arch`, `node_version` to `session_start` event
- Enables environment-based segmentation in dashboards

Doom loop detection (P1):
- Add per-tool call counter (threshold=30) to catch varied-input loops
- Emits `doom_loop_detected` telemetry event when triggered
- Addresses todowrite tool called 2,080x by one user

Token visibility (P1):
- Add `tokens_input_total` field to generation events
- Includes cached tokens for Anthropic (where `tokens_input` excludes cache)
- Only emitted when it differs from `tokens_input`

Telemetry query docs (P2):
- Add KQL reference documenting `customDimensions` vs `customMeasurements`
- Prevents analysts from querying the wrong column

Cleanup:
- Rename `telemetry-moat-signals.test.ts` → `telemetry-signals.test.ts`
- Remove "moat" terminology from test comments

+ * Telemetry Module — Azure App Insights Integration
+ *
+ * QUERYING TELEMETRY DATA (KQL / Log Analytics):
+ *
+ *   customDimensions  → string fields (tool_name, model_id, provider_id, error_class, os, etc.)
+ *   customMeasurements → numeric fields (tokens_input, cost, duration_ms, etc.)
+ *
+ * Serialization rules (see toAppInsightsEnvelopes):
+ *   - typeof number  → measurements map  (customMeasurements)
+ *   - typeof string  → properties map    (customDimensions)
+ *   - typeof boolean → properties map    (as "true"/"false")
+ *   - typeof object  → properties map    (JSON.stringify)
+ *   - session_id / project_id are lifted into envelope tags, not properties
+ *   - cli_version is injected into every event's properties automatically
+ *
+ * Example KQL:
+ *
+ *   // Token usage per model
+ *   customEvents
+ *   | where name == "generation"
+ *   | extend model = tostring(customDimensions.model_id),
+ *           tokens_in = todouble(customMeasurements.tokens_input),
+ *           tokens_out = todouble(customMeasurements.tokens_output)
+ *   | summarize avg(tokens_in), avg(tokens_out) by model
+ *
+ *   // Error class distribution
+ *   customEvents
+ *   | where name == "core_failure"
+ *   | extend err = tostring(customDimensions.error_class)
+ *   | summarize count() by err
