- Around line 40-41: Update the telemetry timing description to state that a
sampled invocation awaits the HTTP request before version calculation starts,
with a 300 ms timeout and cancellation deadline; remove the claim that shutdown
waits for the request. Keep the no-queue, no-cookie, and no-retry details.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift
Avoid an unconditional stderr notice on every run on ephemeral CI agents.
Line 85 calls notice before sampling, for every eligible invocation that has no marker. Hosted CI agents and containers start with an empty LocalApplicationData, so the marker never persists. Once a campaign is enabled, every CI run of a fresh agent therefore writes this line to stderr. This happens even though only 0.01% of those runs can be sampled.
Some pipelines treat any stderr output as failure. Examples are Azure Pipelines script tasks with failOnStderr: true, and Windows PowerShell 5.1 with 2>&1 under $ErrorActionPreference = 'Stop'. A GitVersion upgrade can then fail builds that previously passed. --verbosity quiet also does not suppress the line.
Pick one fix that still meets the disclosure requirement:
- Skip collection, and therefore the notice, for automated invocations (
ci != "none"ormsbuild). - Or route the notice through the existing logger, so it respects
--verbosityand--log-file. - Or make the notice depend on the sampling result for automated runs, and document that change in
telemetry-policy.md.
Add a test for the choice you make: an automated invocation with no marker.

Description
Adds sampled PostHog Cloud telemetry for the established POSIX CLI, with collection disabled (
Enabled = false, no project key) and the EU region selected. The legacy argument parser and experimentalnew-clido not collect telemetry.The payload contains allowlisted option-presence flags and bounded environment labels, without raw arguments, paths, repository details, configuration values, or generated versions. CI classification reuses the existing build-agent resolver. Each event gets a fresh identity, with person profiles and GeoIP enrichment disabled in the payload.
Supports
--telemetry-opt-out,DO_NOT_TRACK, andGITVERSION_TELEMETRY_OPTOUT. Before sampling, the first eligible run prints a policy link on stderr and records an empty local disclosure marker. Delivery is a single best-effort HTTP request with a 300 ms timeout, no retries, and no event queue.Cake automatically embeds the UTC release build date as assembly metadata only for official stable tagged releases. Prereleases receive no start date. Each eligible stable build has a three-month collection window; missing or invalid metadata disables collection.
Adds usage documentation and a policy documenting the collected fields, exclusions, opt-outs, provider processing, and retention. No telemetry SDK or package dependency is added.
Activation remains a separate change
Collection stays disabled until a public PostHog project key is added and enablement is explicitly changed. Before activation, publish and verify the policy at https://gitversion.net/docs/usage/cli/telemetry-policy and verify the PostHog EU project's no-card Free plan, access controls, IP-discard, and GeoIP settings.

Related prior proposal: #4927 (closed). This draft does not close an issue.
Motivation and Context
Prepare a bounded, documented way to understand CLI usage while keeping collection inactive for review and project setup.
