+#
+#   e2e/telemetry-metrics.spec.ts  (E2E_LIVE=1 + E2E_TELEMETRY=1) — a real
+#     local API worker (`wrangler dev`, Docker for the Tier-2 Sandbox
+#     container image) serving a VITE_TELEMETRY_LOCAL=1 build.
+#   e2e/o11y-local.spec.ts         (E2E_O11Y_LOCAL=1) — a real API worker
+#     PLUS a real o11y worker (`wrangler dev`) and local ClickHouse/MinIO
+#     (Docker compose), proving telemetry actually reaches the real ingest
+#     pipeline and lands in Analytics Engine's local stand-in — not
+#     `page.route` mocks, which is what ci.yml's `e2e-telemetry` job already
+#     covers for telemetry-faro.spec.ts/example-analytics.spec.ts. Its own
+#     traffic is Tier-1 (Sandpack) only, so its API worker runs with
+#     `--enable-containers=false` — no Tier-2 container image.
+#
+# Both specs document (in their own file header) the exact local setup this
+# workflow automates; see there for the "why" of each step.
+#
+# NOT the shared `mcr.microsoft.com/playwright` container image ci.yml and
+# e2e-live.yml use: both specs spawn `wrangler dev` (telemetry-metrics's
+# shells out to Docker to build/run the Tier-2 container image; o11y-local's
+# doesn't, but still needs Docker for its own `docker compose` ClickHouse/
+# MinIO stack). Docker-in-Docker from inside that container image has no
+# docker CLI and can't reach a sibling container's `localhost` port — this
+# runs directly on the `ubuntu-latest` host, which ships Docker running
+# (confirmed already relied on by master.yml's `deploy-api` job, which builds
+# the same Tier-2 image via `wrangler deploy` on this exact runner image) and
+# installs the Playwright browser itself instead.
+#
+# Kept OFF the per-PR merge gate for the common case (Docker + two `wrangler
+# dev` boots + a compose stack costs several minutes no ordinary PR should
+# pay), while still catching a regression before it ships: workflow_dispatch,
+# a nightly run, and PRs that touch the ingest path these specs exist to

+## Code comments
+
+Comments state what the code cannot say for itself, once. Review and fix history belongs in the commit
+message and the PR, not in the source. This applies to people and agents alike, and reviewers treat a
+violation as a finding.
+
+- **No review ids.** No finding, round, task or review ids (`F32`, `A-C1`, `R9`, `T06`, "fix round",
+  "per the reviewer") in comments or test titles. Keep contract and ADR pointers (`contract §5`,
+  `ADR-0041 §L.9`) and ClickUp ids (`DEV-NNNN`) of work that is still open.
+- **Present tense.** Describe the code as it is: no "used to", "before this fix", "the old …",
+  "was changed", "fails without the fix", and no revert-check evidence.
+- **No tombstones.** When you delete code, delete the comments that talk about it.
+- **One sentence of why.** Say why a guard, constant or ordering exists, with the measurement when it
+  sets a limit, and stop. Leave out the alternatives you considered, the failure story, a restatement
+  of what the code plainly does, and rationale that is already written down elsewhere (point to it).
+- **Length caps.** A file header is at most 6 lines, a constant or field doc at most 3, a function doc
+  at most 8. Only an ordering or concurrency proof may run longer, by up to about 6 lines.
+- **Density.** In `apps/authoring` and `scripts`, stay near the existing code's density, about 0.4
+  comment lines per code line.
+- **Tests.** A test title states the behaviour, with no id. A block comment is worth it only for a
+  non-obvious setup or oracle, under the same caps.
+- **Docs** (contract, ADRs, runbook) record rules and decisions, not the story of how an issue was found.

The dollar thresholds and the enforcement switch are **editable at runtime in `/admin`** (stored in `runner_settings`); the `BUDGET_*` vars are only defaults. Pool pressure — `at_capacity` refusals, awake-seconds and sampled peak concurrency — was specified by **ADR-0040** and is delivered under **ADR-0041** (built, on this branch), as Analytics Engine points rather than the hourly-bucketed D1 rows ADR-0040 originally proposed (`docs/cost-guardrails.md`): the `at_capacity` counter in `usage_daily` as ADR-0040 C.1 says (`recordUsageEvent`, `workers/api/src/index.ts`); awake-seconds as `session.end`'s `value` (contract §5, per session, bucketable into an hourly view by the Grafana query rather than a dedicated hourly metric); and peak concurrency as the `pool.gauge` Analytics Engine point sampled every 5 minutes (`telemetry/cron.ts#emitPoolGauge`) — because daily totals cannot yield peak concurrency and that is what sizing the pool actually depends on.
+- **Observability** (ADR-0041, **built, verified locally and on the sandbox platform, not yet deployed**): a self-hosted, sleeping Loki + Grafana box (`workers/o11y/`, `containers/o11y/`) fed over OTLP, with metrics in Workers Analytics Engine, plus Sentry for uncaught errors (errors escaping a handler, ADR-0041 §E.1) and spend alerts. `SENTRY_SCOPE`/`VITE_SENTRY_SCOPE` still default to `full` in every committed config, so Sentry keeps receiving everything it does today until the launch plan (`docs/run-and-deploy.md`) flips the switch — nothing about today's Sentry behaviour changes until then. New telemetry follows the ADR's `hot.*` attribute set and its "never a label" rule for demo id, session id, cf-ray and the user pseudonym, checked by `pipeline/telemetry-contract.test.mjs`. ADR-0042 (example analytics) ships with it. ADR-0043 (`/admin` cutover) follows after launch, once ADR-0041 itself is Accepted (see its own status line — two items are pending: a real-Workers-isolate symbolication measurement, and an R2 retention-lifecycle clock still running). Shared names, Analytics Engine slots and payload shapes are frozen in [`docs/observability-contract.md`](docs/observability-contract.md); the deploy runbook, one-time setup and post-deploy checklist are in [`docs/run-and-deploy.md`](docs/run-and-deploy.md)'s Observability and Launch plan sections.
 - **Ask AI** (DEV-2047, `docs/example-chat.md`): chat panel scoped to the open example; docs chunks are retrieved **in the browser** (Cloudflare blocks Worker→workers.dev, error 1042), the Worker adds Algolia page links and calls LiteLLM. Model edits are proposed, never auto-applied, and every answer is metered into the cost ledger.
 - **Style panel** (DEV-2047, `docs/style-panel.md`): Theme Builder's controls applied to the open example via Handsontable's **JS theme API** (`registerTheme`/`params`), written into the demo as a real module and wired into the grid; `POST /api/theme` does natural-language styling. Controls show the demo's own Handsontable version's preset defaults — fetched at runtime, override state stays empty until you edit — and the panel is gated off below core 17, which has no theme API (DEV-2560).
 - **Analytics are anonymous by construction** — no cookies, no IPs, no user agents, no query strings, no per-request rows; unique visitors use a daily-rotating salted hash. Keep it that way when touching `workers/api/src/analytics.ts`.

+# ADR-0041: Observability on Cloudflare — a sleeping Loki + Grafana box, OTLP inward, Sentry for uncaught errors
+
+**Status:** Proposed — design approved 2026-09-23 (revision 3), implemented, local
+end-to-end walkthrough and every sandbox probe complete (§L "Results"). 12 of 15 exit
+criteria pass outright with real evidence; criteria 5 and 13 pass pending the two
+confirmations named below; criterion 8 (Volume) is **Mixed**, not a pass — Analytics
+Engine points and the raw Workers Logs pool both pass at 10× with real margin, but the
+exported-logs allotment does not (§D above has the numbers and the fallback). The
+design's own §L trigger (criterion 1, 2 or 7 failing) is not engaged.
+**Stays Proposed, not Accepted, pending exactly two items**: exit criterion 5's
+CPU/memory measurement inside a real Workers isolate (every measurement so far is a
+Node-process proxy — no isolate profiling access was available), and exit criterion 13's
+real-object retention expiry (a 1-day R2 lifecycle test is running against real objects;
+calendar time has not yet passed as of this pass — see `docs/run-and-deploy.md`'s
+Launch plan for how to close both).
+Supersedes ADR-0040 decisions A, B, C.2 and C.3; amends ADR-0022 (o11y spend cap,
+per-script billing rows), ADR-0038 (WAF exception extended to `/telemetry/*`); adds
+routes under ADR-0020. **No longer deviates from ADR-0007**: `/grafana/*` gates
+through the same Handsontable login broker as every other internal surface, not
+Cloudflare Access — see §H. ADR-0042 ships with this
+ADR, and stays at the same status (Proposed) until this one flips to Accepted.
+ADR-0043 follows after launch (not yet dispatched).
+
+## Context
+
+The runner reports faults through Sentry and nothing else. Both SDKs run errors-only,
+Workers Logs keeps seven days at a 10 % head sample, and every number the team looks
+at is a D1 counter aggregated at write time (`usage_daily`, `analytics_daily`,
+`cost_ledger`) and rendered by `/admin`. There are no traces, no metric history, no
+browser performance data, and the only join between a Sentry issue and a Worker log is
+the `cf-ray` header, promoted to a Sentry tag by hand.
+
+The missing thing is the ability to answer, from data, the questions the runner is run
+on: how long an example takes to show a grid, by tier and Handsontable major; how full
+the container pool is at 14:00 UTC; whether the last release raised compile errors on
+the `next` bucket; what the AI assistant costs per answer; which docs guides people
+reach for a live example of (ADR-0042).
+
+Constraints:
+
+1. **Self-hosted, on Cloudflare, next to the app**, in the main account (ADR-0010). No
+   VPS, no Grafana Cloud, no SaaS beyond Sentry.
+2. **OpenTelemetry protocol as the contract** from the Worker inward.
+3. **Grafana as the UI, Grafana Faro as the browser SDK.**
+4. **Sentry stays connected for uncaught errors**, and those errors also land in the new
+   stack.
+5. **Cost at app scale.** The runner's containers cost $1–13 a month because they sleep;
+   observability follows the same pattern.
+6. **Anonymous by construction** stays in force for analytics (`analytics.ts`,
+   AGENTS.md). Operational logs are governed by the explicit rule in §E.4.
+7. **Deploy only after localhost tests**, from one feature branch (decision 2026-09-23).
+   Facts that exist only on real Cloudflare are measured with throwaway probes on the
+   sandbox account, never the production account (§L).
+
+Platform facts that shaped the design (verified 2026-09-22/23, including Loki, Sentry
+and Faro source):
+
+- **Workers tracing and export** (open beta): auto spans for fetch, D1, KV, R2, DO,
+  handlers, RPC; custom spans via `tracing.enterSpan`; OTLP export of traces and logs to
+  any endpoint with custom headers. From 2026-10-01 spans are billed as events **in the
+  same 20 M/month Workers Logs pool** as log lines, and export includes **10 M events per
+  signal**. No `spanContext()`, so no browser-to-worker `traceparent` join. No metrics
+  export. Sampling is per invocation and per Worker, never per route. Export retry
+  semantics are undocumented. Fetch-handler spans carry `url.full`,
+  `user_agent.original`, city and ASN; preview hostnames carry the sandbox token.
+- **Workers Logs**: every sampled invocation writes an invocation log plus each
+  `console.*` line; `observability.logs.invocation_logs: false` removes the former. The
+  Sandbox SDK logs a warning on every request to a stale preview URL, and Tier-2
+  container stdout lands in the API worker's logs.
+- **Containers** bill CPU on use and memory/disk on provisioned size, nothing while
+  asleep. Disk is ephemeral. Inbound only via Worker/DO. `jurisdiction: "eu"` placement
+  exists since 2026-04-05. `onStop` reports a host loss the DO did not observe as
+  `{ exitCode: 0, reason: "exit" }`, indistinguishable from a clean exit. Cloudflare
+  "does not guarantee that any container instance will run for any set period of time."
+- **R2** is S3-compatible; EU jurisdiction on buckets; lifecycle rules work by key prefix.
+- **Loki 3.x** ingests OTLP natively and synchronously; `otlp_config` can label only
+  **resource** attributes. Query-time dedupe needs same stream, same timestamp, same line
+  **and** same structured metadata (`TestMergeIteratorNoDedupDifferentStructuredMetadata`),
+  and metric queries dedupe only across iterators, so two copies inside one chunk are
+  both counted. When an OTLP record has no timestamp, Loki stamps `time.Now()`.
+  `POST /flush` returns before anything is written. The TSDB index head rotates every
+  15 minutes and uploads afterwards. The compactor rewrites index only, and its retention
+  markers live on local disk. Default push limits are 4 MB/s with a 6 MB burst;
+  `shard_streams` is on by default with shard numbers from in-memory state;
+  `query_ingesters_within` defaults to 3 h.
+- **Grafana Faro** v2.12: `faro.receiver` stamps every entry with `time.Now()`, answers 202
+  even when its exporter fails, drops after a 2 s timeout, rate-limits at 50 req/s, and
+  looks maps up by URL path. `persistent: false` session tracking uses `sessionStorage`.
+  The Performance and CSP instrumentations send full URLs with query strings.
+- **Workers Analytics Engine**: 20 blobs + 20 doubles + 1 index per point, 3-month
+  retention, 10 M data points and 1 M read queries per month included (currently not
+  billed), SQL API; it samples at write time and read time (`_sample_interval`).
+  Grafana reads it through the Altinity ClickHouse plugin. No local emulation.
+- **Sentry**: Team plan, so issue-alert webhooks only, no per-event `error.created`. The
+  API worker's fetch catch-all converts every throw into an explicit `captureException`
+  plus a 500, and the snapshot-job alarm reports without rethrowing, so almost no Worker
+  error is "uncaught" in the SDK's sense. Spend alerts reach anyone only through
+  `Sentry.captureMessage` in `reconcile.ts`. React 19 render crashes caught by
+  `Sentry.ErrorBoundary` never reach `window.onerror`.
+- **Edge**: the zone rule behind ADR-0038 403s any body containing `<script` outside
+  `/api/*`; `workers_dev` defaults to on and bypasses zone rules.
+
+Alternatives considered and rejected:
+
+- **VPS with the LGTM stack** — outside constraint 1.
+- **Serverless store (Pipelines → Iceberg → R2 SQL)** — no LogQL, two open-beta
+  services. Kept as the escape hatch (§L).
+- **Cloudflare's own Workers Observability as the store** — 7-day, non-EU, not Grafana.
+  Kept as the temporary safety net (`persist: true`, §H).
+- **Alloy with `faro.receiver` in the box** (revision 2's design) — `time.Now()`
+  stamping makes every browser record land at drain time and never dedupe on re-replay;
+  202-on-failure makes the drain's ledger lie; its rate limit refuses backlog replays; its
+  path-based map lookup breaks per-release storage. Once the Worker converts Faro to
+  OTLP itself (§C.1), Alloy has nothing left to do: the drain pushes straight to Loki.
+- **Vanilla OpenTelemetry JS in the browser** — experimental SDKs, no bundled error or
+  vitals capture. Faro stays as the capture SDK; only its wire format stops at the Worker.
+- **Mimir** — a WAL on ephemeral disk and ingestion only while awake. Analytics Engine
+  ingests while the box sleeps.
+- **Tempo, and exporting traces at all, in the first release** — no browser join exists,
+  span attributes carry URLs, user agents, geo and preview tokens, and spans compete with
+  logs for the same 20 M pool. Deferred (§C.4).
+- **A Queue in front of the inbox** — billed per message operation and a second write
+  path next to the inbox Durable Object, which already batches.
+- **Self-hosted Sentry or GlitchTip**; **`@microlabs/otel-cf-workers`** — not the Grafana
+  stack; deprioritised by its maintainer.
+
+## Decision
+
+### A. One sleeping box: Loki + Grafana in a Container; R2 is the store
+
+A new Worker `handsontable-demos-o11y` (`workers/o11y/`, own `wrangler.jsonc` with
+`workers_dev: false` and `preview_urls: false`, own deploy job) owns two Durable Object
+classes: `InboxWriter` (§B) and `GrafanaBox`, a Container class running **Loki and
+Grafana** on `standard-1`, pinned with `jurisdiction: "eu"`. There is no collector in the
+box.
+
+- **Loki**, single binary, TSDB single store in an EU R2 bucket, two tenants:
+  `browser` (browser and beacon streams) and `worker` (Worker streams). Configuration in
+  §B.4.
+- **Grafana** served from `/grafana/`, provisioned from git (one Loki datasource per
+  tenant via `X-Scope-OrgID`, the Altinity plugin against the Analytics Engine SQL API,
+  dashboards), `auth.proxy` behind the Worker (§B.5), **Grafana Live disabled**, sqlite
+  state disposable.
+- **Secrets reach the container** only as `envVars` set by `GrafanaBox` at start from
+  Worker secrets (`LOKI_S3_*`, `AE_SQL_TOKEN`). The Slack webhook never enters the box.
+
+**Wake.** Two triggers only:
+
+1. A Grafana visit through the login broker (ADR-0007 — not Cloudflare Access). The
+   Worker renews the activity timer on every HTTP
+   request to `/grafana/*`, **including the waking page's own `meta refresh` poll while
+   the box is still booting** (counting a request only once the box is ready would let
+   a visit wake with nothing yet in the backlog SIGTERM itself around 20s into boot,
+   before the person who opened it ever saw Grafana); the box stops after 15 idle
+   minutes, and after 4 hours awake regardless (the next request shows the waking page).
+2. A backlog: a `*/10` cron in the o11y worker asks `InboxWriter.backlog()` and wakes the
+   box when the oldest uncommitted object is older than 60 minutes or the backlog exceeds
+   64 MB. The cron never wakes the box when drains are paused (§G).
+
+**Stop protocol**, the same for every stop the Worker initiates: the drain finishes; if
+no Grafana request arrived in the last 10 minutes the Worker calls `stop()` (otherwise
+the idle timer does, later, so a drain never SIGTERMs someone reading a dashboard); the
+container's shutdown script stops Loki gracefully, confirms the index is uploaded to R2,
+and only then writes a **clean-shutdown marker** `state/wakes/<wakeId>/clean` into the Loki
+bucket, the one bucket its credentials reach. The o11y worker reads `state/` through an R2
+binding on the same bucket; no lifecycle rule touches that prefix except a 30-day expiry.
+The marker, not `onStop`, is what the ledger trusts (§B.3). **Exception:** a
+wake that ends without ever having a `provisional` key (an empty backlog, or a
+Grafana-visit-only wake with nothing to drain) never gets an index upload and so never
+gets a marker — that is expected, not an unclean stop, and the ledger now resolves such a
+wake as clean without requiring one. A wake that *did* push data still requires the real
+marker.
+
+**Waking page**: the Handsontable logo, one line of text, `<meta http-equiv="refresh"
+content="3">`, no script, served by the Worker while the box is not ready.
+
+**Cost model**: drain wakes × measured drain-wake duration + visit hours, at
+$0.038–0.074 per awake hour on `standard-1`. The target is ≈ $5–8/month at current
+traffic; exit criterion L.7 recomputes it from the measured drain-wake duration and
+fails above $10. **Measured on the real sandbox platform, corrected 1×/10× traffic
+scale (§L.7): $0.21/month at 1×, $0.33/month at 10×** — the design's own $5–8 target was itself a
+conservative upper estimate; drain-wake frequency is capped by the 60-minute backlog-age
+trigger, not by traffic volume, so 20× more records only adds ~16s of drain time per wake,
+not 20× the awake-hour cost. **Per forgotten tab**: every provisioned dashboard ships with
+auto-refresh off, so an open tab left idle costs nothing beyond the visit that opened it; a
+viewer who turns refresh back on keeps the box awake for as long as the tab stays open, up
+to the 4-hour hard cap — $0.15–$0.30 per forgotten tab at the awake-hour rate above.
+
+### B. Ingest never waits for the box
+
+**B.1 Routes**, all owned by the o11y worker on the main hostname, passed as `--routes`
+flags (ADR-0020), beside the API worker's `/api/*`, `/d/*`, `/embed/*`:
+
+| Route | Source |
+|---|---|
+| `POST /telemetry/collect` | Faro from the authoring app |
+| `POST /telemetry/lite` | lite beacon from `/d` and `/embed` |
+| `POST /telemetry/v1/logs` | Cloudflare OTLP log export |
+| `POST /telemetry/deploy` | CI deploy events |
+| `POST /telemetry/hooks/sentry` | Sentry issue-alert webhook |
+| `/grafana/*` | Grafana, waking page |
+| `POST /grafana/_o11y/reopen` | manual ledger re-open (§B.3) |
+
+ADR-0038's WAF exception is extended from `/api/*` to `/telemetry/*`: Faro errors and
+Sentry payloads legitimately contain `<script`. The compensating controls are the gates
+in §B.5.
+
+**B.2 `InboxWriter`: one owner of the inbox lifecycle.** One instance, named `main`,
+addressed through `.jurisdiction("eu")`. The CPU-heavy steps run in the **stateless route
+handler**, so ingest is not serialised through one object; `InboxWriter` only checks,
+stores and packs. For each accepted request, in this order:
+
+1. **Decode and scrub** in the route handler into OTLP log records (§C.1): convert Faro
+   and beacon payloads; decode Cloudflare's export (protobuf or JSON, whichever spike (b)
+   observes); keep only allowlisted attributes; hoist `hot.*` and `service.*` to resource
+   attributes; run the server-side scrubber (§E.4). Nothing derived from the arrival time
+   is added yet. Records over 256 KB are dropped.
+2. **Hash** each record (SHA-256) at this point, before any arrival-time value exists, so
+   a redelivered body hashes identically.
+3. **Stamp** timestamps (§C.2), which may use the arrival time as a clamp or fallback.
+   The arrival time itself never becomes part of a stored record; `InboxWriter` keeps it
+   on the storage row.
+4. **Deduplicate** in `InboxWriter`: each hash is checked against a 24-hour set in DO
+   storage; a record already seen is dropped. This is what makes a duplicate Cloudflare
+   delivery a non-event.
+5. **Append** the records to DO SQLite storage in rows of at most 1 MB, and answer `2xx`
+   only after the transaction commits. Nothing is held in memory across requests.
+6. **Pack**, from a 60-second alarm or at 4 MB stored: write one gzipped NDJSON object
+   per tenant to `inbox/<tenant>/<yyyy-mm-dd>/<hh>/<seq>.ndjson.gz`, where `<seq>` is a
+   counter persisted in DO storage, incremented in the same transaction that records the
+   key, zero-padded to 12 digits. The key's state is recorded as `written`; the packed
+   rows are deleted. "4 MB stored" is a real, enforced bound on the packed object's own
+   decompressed NDJSON size (`PACK_OBJECT_MAX_DECOMPRESSED_BYTES`), not only a
+   flush-cadence hint — the alarm takes pending rows in arrival order up to that budget
+   (always at least one row, even if a single row alone is over budget) and commits that
+   object; a tenant with more pending rows than fit in one object is packed across several
+   objects, looping within the same alarm invocation up to a per-invocation cap on packed
+   objects and rescheduling itself immediately when rows remain, rather than one unbounded
+   in-memory gzip per alarm. The alarm's own read of pending rows is bounded too: `row:<n>`
+   is zero-padded (12 digits, matching `<seq>`'s own width), so native ascending key order
+   equals arrival order without an in-memory sort, and the alarm pages `row:` in small
+   chunks, accumulated up to one packed object's own byte budget per round, rather than
+   one unbounded `list()` — see contract §8 and `workers/o11y/src/inbox/pack.ts`.
+
+One writer means key order equals arrival order; storage-backed buffering means a
+deploy, eviction or host restart between two alarms loses nothing.
+
+Analytics Engine points for browser metrics are written by the route handler after step 3
+(§F.1), so they exist while the box sleeps. `example.*` events (ADR-0042) produce Analytics Engine points only
+and are never packed into the inbox. The exact first-seen registry for error fingerprints
+(§F.3) is updated at step 4.
+
+**B.3 Drain and ledger.** The ledger lives in `InboxWriter` storage, next to the keys it
+describes, so backlog and state are readable without starting the container. Each key is
+`written` → `provisional(wakeId)` → `committed`, or `rejected`.
+
+- **At each cron tick and at the start of each wake**, `InboxWriter` resolves every wake
+  that still owns provisional keys and is **over** — a newer `wakeId` has started, or
+  `GrafanaBox`'s container state reports it not running: marker present → those keys
+  become `committed`; marker absent → they go back to `written` (re-opened). A wake that is
+  still running is left alone. `POST /grafana/_o11y/reopen` re-opens a time window by hand.
+- `backlog()` counts only `written` keys, after that resolution step, so a box kept awake
+  by a visitor never triggers wake attempts for its own provisional keys, and a crashed
+  wake's keys count again as soon as the crash is noticed.
+- **The drain** runs in `GrafanaBox`, as a Durable Object alarm loop that handles a bounded
+  number of objects per invocation and reschedules itself, under the o11y worker's
+  `limits.cpu_ms` (set to the value spike (b) needs, at most 300 000). It runs only on a
+  freshly woken box, before anything else is pushed: it
+  replays re-opened keys first, then new `written` keys, in key order, each object's
+  records pushed to Loki's `/otlp/v1/logs` with the tenant header in requests of at most
+  1 MB decompressed. A key becomes `provisional(wakeId)` only after every one of its
+  requests returned `2xx`. `429` and `5xx` are retried with backoff within the wake; a
+  `400` (for example `too_far_behind`) is logged with Loki's message. Two cases defer a
+  key instead (it stays `written`, nothing is rejected, the batch goes on): a `429` whose
+  body names Loki's stream limit, which is never retried, and an inbox object that
+  cannot be read. A stream-limited tenant's keys are skipped for the rest of the wake so
+  the other tenant keeps draining (contract §8, "Drain refusals"). A single too-old
+  record inside an otherwise-good packed object does not 400 (and so reject) the whole
+  key — `drainKey` drops individual log records older than `reject_old_samples_max_age`
+  minus a margin *before* pushing, counts
+  the dropped ones on the `o11y.drain` point, and still pushes the good siblings in the
+  same key. A key is marked `rejected` only when the push itself still 400s after that
+  filtering (a genuine, not-just-stale, rejection), which raises an alert (§F.3). Within
+  one wake, a per-record hash set guarantees no record is pushed twice.
+- **What an unclean stop costs.** The whole wake's keys are replayed on the next wake.
+  Data that Loki had already indexed before the crash is then stored twice, in different
+  chunks; queries return it once, because timestamps, labels and structured metadata are
+  deterministic (§C.2) and `shard_streams` is off. The duplicate storage stays until R2
+  lifecycle deletes it, not until compaction. Re-opening across a Loki configuration or
+  label change is not allowed, because it would break that determinism.
+
+**B.4 Loki configuration**: `ingester.wal.flush_on_shutdown: true`;
+`limits_config.shard_streams.enabled: false`; `max_chunk_age: 2h` (a 1-hour out-of-order
+window, enough because the drain replays in key order into an empty ingester);
+`reject_old_samples_max_age: 7d`; `query_ingesters_within: 168h`, so backfilled data is
+queryable while the box is awake; `ingestion_rate_mb` and `ingestion_burst_size_mb`
+raised to what spike (b) measures, at least 16/32; `max_line_size: 256KB`;
+`otlp_config` promoting the `hot.*` resource attributes to labels. **Retention through
+R2 lifecycle, not the compactor**: one rule per tenant chunk prefix (`browser` 30 days,
+`worker` 90 days) and the index prefix at 90 days, with `max_query_lookback` per tenant so
+nothing past retention is queried. For days 31–90 the shared index still lists `browser`
+chunks that lifecycle has already deleted; `max_query_lookback: 30d` on that tenant means
+no query ever reaches those entries, and the index bytes they cost are negligible, so the
+index is not split per tenant. Compactor retention stays off: its markers would live
+on ephemeral disk, and `retention_delete_delay` outlasts any wake.
+
+**B.5 Gates**, every route authenticated or gated:
+
+| Route | Gate |
+|---|---|
+| `collect`, `lite` | `Origin`/`Referer` host is the production host (or `localhost` in the `local` environment), payload environment matches, `BOT_RE` user-agent filter, size caps, item-kind allowlist, unknown attributes dropped, the Workers rate-limiting binding, then the server-side scrubber. `navigator.webdriver` is a browser-side check only (§E.4). |
+| `v1/logs` | `x-o11y-secret` header set on the export destination, constant-time compare |
+| `deploy` | GitHub OIDC token (issuer, audience, repository, workflow), secret fallback |
+| `hooks/sentry` | `sentry-hook-signature` HMAC |
+| `/grafana/*`, `reopen` | the Worker's own HMAC-signed session cookie (`O11Y_SESSION_SECRET`), minted once from a Handsontable login broker token (ADR-0007, K1 — not Cloudflare Access); a client-sent `auth.proxy` header is stripped |
+
+Every drop writes an `o11y.ingest` point with the gate as the reason.
+
+**B.6 The observer does not observe itself**: the o11y worker exports no Workers Logs and
+no traces, with invocation logs off and its own lines persisted in Cloudflare's dashboard
+only. Its self-metrics (`o11y.*`) go to Analytics Engine like every other metric, which is
+not a loop: they never pass through its own ingest routes.
+
+### C. OTLP from the Worker inward
+
+**C.1 Hops.**
+
+| Hop | Format |
+|---|---|
+| Authoring app → o11y worker | Faro JSON (the SDK's native transport) |
+| Embeds → o11y worker | the §C.5 beacon payload |
+| API worker → o11y worker | OTLP logs, Cloudflare's export |
+| o11y worker (ingest) | everything normalised to OTLP log records, stored as OTLP JSON in the inbox |
+| drain → Loki | OTLP `/otlp/v1/logs`, synchronous |
+| metrics | Analytics Engine points, written at ingest by the o11y worker (browser) and directly by the API worker (server) |
+
+**C.2 Attributes, identity and time.** Every record carries `service.name`,
+`service.version`, `deployment.environment.name` and the `hot.*` set (`surface`, `tier`,
+`framework`, `ht_major`, `outcome`) as **resource attributes**. Per exit criterion 15's
+own precise wording, Loki labels
+`service.name`, `deployment.environment.name` and every `hot.*` key — seven of the eight —
+from `containers/o11y/loki/loki-config.yaml`'s own `otlp_config.resource_attributes`
+promotion list. `service.version` is a resource attribute (queryable, present on every
+record) but is **deliberately never promoted to a label**: it is per-deploy-SHA, and a
+label with that cardinality would fragment Loki's index into one stream per deploy. Exit
+criterion 15 checks exactly this seven-key set arrives as labels, confirmed live against
+the real committed config for all four sources (§L). The exact names, allowed values and
+Analytics Engine slots live in
+[`docs/observability-contract.md`](../observability-contract.md).
+`hot.demo_id`, `session.id` and `cf.ray` are structured metadata only; never labels, never
+Analytics Engine indexes. The user pseudonym, emails, IPs, user-agent strings, query
+strings, authored code, chat text and console output are never sent to the o11y stack.
+
+- `session.id` is an in-memory id minted per page load by the app (§E.4). It joins a page
+  load's browser records with the API calls that page made (sent as `x-hot-session`); it
+  is not a visitor session and does not survive a reload.
+- `service.version` is the deploying `GITHUB_SHA` on each deployable. Authoring and API
+  deploy independently (path-gated in `master.yml`), so their versions usually differ;
+  each deploy job posts `{service, sha, cf_version_id}` to `/telemetry/deploy`, which
+  becomes a Loki line and a Grafana annotation.
+- **Timestamps are event time, deterministically**: browser item timestamps are clamped
+  to the envelope's `received_at` ± 5 minutes; beacon timestamps likewise; OTLP records
+  keep `time_unix_nano`, falling back to `observed_time_unix_nano`, then to `received_at`,
+  so no record ever reaches Loki without one.
+
+**C.3 Symbolication in the Worker, at drain.** CI uploads the authoring build's maps to
+the EU maps bucket under `sourcemaps/<sha>/<original asset path>.map` before deleting
+them from `dist` (the Sentry Vite plugin's in-build deletion is turned off; one CI step
+uploads to both destinations, then deletes). At drain, for exception records only, the
+o11y worker resolves app-chunk frames with `@jridgewell/trace-mapping` against the map for the
+record's `service.version`, parsing lazily per file and caching in the isolate within a
+fixed memory budget; frames from the Babel compiler chunk and third-party files are left
+as they are. Maps expire with the browser tenant (30 days). Symbolication never runs on
+the public ingest route. Exit criterion L.5 bounds its cost.
+
+**C.4 Traces are deferred, and not exported.** No trace destination is configured.
+Worker traces are sampled at 1 % into Cloudflare's own dashboard for the 7-day view while
+`persist: true` holds (§H). Tempo, and a trace export with a span-attribute allowlist
+that removes URLs, user agents, geo and preview hosts, return together when
+`spanContext()` makes the browser join real.
+
+**C.5 Lite beacon for `/d` and `/embed`.** The existing ES5 reporter in `monitor.ts` gains
+a standalone mode: with no parent runner frame, it sends uncaught errors (up to the
+existing ceiling) and sampled web vitals (10 % of page views) with `navigator.sendBeacon`
+to same-origin `/telemetry/lite`, under 2 KB per payload. It is injected at the serve seam
+in `share.ts` with the `monitor-inject.ts` guards and the DEV-2580 rules (self-removing
+tag, no whitespace). Docs pages link with `noreferrer` and send
+`strict-origin-when-cross-origin`, so no embed payload carries a docs page path;
+embeds are identified by demo id.
+
+### D. Worker signals
+
+- `observability.logs`: `head_sampling_rate: 1.0`, `invocation_logs: false`,
+  `persist: true`, `destinations: ["o11y-logs"]`.
+- `observability.traces`: `head_sampling_rate: 0.01`, `persist: true`, no destination.
+- One structured JSON line per non-proxy request (route class, status, duration,
+  `cf.ray`, `session.id`, `hot.demo_id`, `service.version`), replacing the
+  bracketed-prefix convention, plus an `api.request` Analytics Engine point. The preview
+  proxy path emits nothing per request; stale-preview requests are answered before the
+  Sandbox SDK where the code can recognise them, so its per-request warning does not fire.
+- Every error that escapes a handler is logged as a structured line **by our code**: the
+  fetch catch-all, the snapshot-job alarm's report path, the Durable Object alarms and the
+  cron handler. The Worker half of constraint 4 therefore does not depend on how
+  Cloudflare exports an uncaught exception with invocation logs off.
+- Custom spans (`tracing.enterSpan`) around session start, container boot, snapshot
+  build, chat, theme AI, import and payload boot, for the dashboard view.
+- A `*/5` cron in the **API worker**, which owns the KV session meters and D1, writes
+  `pool.gauge`, `budget.gauge` (tier, percent of ceiling) and checks the o11y heartbeat
+  (§F.3).
+- **Volume budget** (exit criterion L.8): at current traffic, Workers Logs events (lines
+  plus spans) stay under half of the 20 M pool, exported log events under half of the 10 M
+  logs allotment, Analytics Engine points under half of 10 M. Tier-2 container stdout is
+  counted in the first. Because every count and alert reads Analytics Engine, which is not
+  sampled at ingest, lowering the log sampling rate is the fallback that costs text, never
+  alerts.
+  **Measured (projected from real per-session/per-request counts × `traffic-baseline.md`,
+  at the ADR's own required 10× headroom): Analytics Engine points pass comfortably
+  (≈4.14M of the 10M dataset, well under half). The raw Workers Logs pool also passes
+  (≈6.6M of 20M, under half) — but the exported-logs allotment does not clear its own half
+  at 10×: real measured Tier-2 container stdout (12–22 lines for a Vite-family starter's
+  boot alone, ~22 for a webpack/Angular-family starter's boot, plus 2 lines per 60-second
+  keepalive poll — Cloudflare's own Sandbox SDK's structured logging of its own health
+  checks, not the dev server's own output) pushes the projected 10× total to ≈6.6M/month
+  against the 5M half of the 10M exported-logs allotment.** This is exactly the situation
+  this paragraph's own fallback exists for: lower `head_sampling_rate` before or during
+  launch if real production volume confirms this projection, which drops exported/logged
+  text but never drops a count, an Analytics Engine point, or an alert. See
+  `docs/run-and-deploy.md`'s Launch plan for the concrete pre-launch measurement and the
+  sampling-rate action.
+- The comment at `wrangler.jsonc:10-13` ("full fidelity is a spike amplifier") is answered
+  by `invocation_logs: false`, the silent proxy path and the budget above, not reversed.
+
+### E. Sentry: what "uncaught" means, what moves, what stays
+
+**E.1 Definition.** Uncaught means an error that escapes a handler:
+
+- **Browser**: `window.onerror`, `unhandledrejection`, and render crashes caught by
+  `Sentry.ErrorBoundary`.
+- **Worker**: anything that escapes a fetch, alarm or scheduled handler, including errors
+  the fetch catch-all turns into a 500 and snapshot-job failures the alarm reports
+  without rethrowing.
+
+These stay in Sentry, keep its grouping and regression detection, and also reach the new
+stack (§E.2).
+
+**Moves to the new stack only**: diagnostic reports about handled conditions — upstream
+failures reported with tags (npm registry, import URL), the preview boot-window report,
+`reportError` calls for recoverable UI failures, and demo-runtime preview events. They
+become Faro reports or structured lines with an `error.handled` point and lose Sentry's
+grouping; the exact new-fingerprint alert (§F.3) replaces its "new issue" signal. The
+Outcome of each implementing task lists every call site and its classification.
+
+**Stays in Sentry, unconverted**: the budget-alert `captureMessage` in `reconcile.ts` and
+its `rehomeBudgetAlert` hook. It is the spend alert channel.
+
+**E.2 Tee.** Faro's errors instrumentation sees `window.onerror` and rejections;
+`Sentry.ErrorBoundary`'s `onError` also calls the facade, so render crashes reach Faro.
+Worker errors reach Loki through the structured lines of §D. Sentry's `beforeSend`
+pushes the Sentry event id as a Faro event, and the Faro page-load id becomes a Sentry
+tag. The issue-alert webhook (new issue, regression, resolved) becomes a Loki line with
+issue id, title, release and link.
+
+**E.3 Switch.** The trim ships behind `SENTRY_SCOPE` (API worker var) and
+`VITE_SENTRY_SCOPE` (authoring build), both `full` by default, where moved reports go to
+**both** Sentry and the new stack. The launch plan flips both to `uncaught` only after
+data has been seen end to end in Grafana, alerts have fired once, and volume sits inside
+the budget. Until then nothing that reaches Sentry today stops reaching it.
+
+**E.4 Faro configuration and the operational-log rule.**
+
+- Faro: session tracking **disabled**; the facade mints the page-load id in memory and
+  sets it on every item; no `user` meta; only the errors and web-vitals instrumentations
+  (Performance, CSP, console and view instrumentations off, because they send full URLs
+  or console text); transport to same-origin `/telemetry/collect`.
+- One scrubber, `scrubTelemetry`, runs in the browser **and authoritatively at ingest**
+  for Faro, beacon and OTLP records alike: strip query strings and fragments from every
+  URL-valued field; `redactPreviewHosts` on every string; reduce any browser meta to the
+  device and browser classes `analytics.ts` uses; remove Babel code frames explicitly
+  (`stripCodeFrame`: the gutter-numbered source lines and caret markers), because
+  `normalizeMonitorMessage` does not; drop unknown attributes.
+- The rule: **operational logs may carry a page-load id, a demo id and a cf-ray as
+  structured metadata, and nothing else that identifies a person or a request's content.
+  Browser streams are kept 30 days, Worker streams 90 days.** This is a separate class from
+  analytics, which keeps its rule unchanged: `example.*` events are counts only and never
+  reach Loki.
+- Local testing: Faro runs on a local path only when the build was made with
+  `VITE_TELEMETRY_LOCAL=1` and the host is `localhost`/`127.0.0.1`, with environment
+  `local`. That path checks neither `import.meta.env.DEV` nor `navigator.webdriver`,
+  because Playwright serves a production `vite preview` under automation. The production
+  gate (`resolveReporting`) is unchanged and stays closed under automation; a post-build
+  check fails if the local path survives into a production bundle.
+
+### F. What is metered
+
+**F.1 Store.** Counts and latencies go to Analytics Engine; Loki holds the text. (Contract
+§6's own table matches this ruling — a Faro measurement or web-vitals
+item is AE-only, never a stored Loki record.) The
+positional slot layout and the full metric registry, with allowed outcomes, are in
+[`docs/observability-contract.md`](../observability-contract.md) §4–§5; this section
+names the signals, the contract fixes their shape. Every
+count is `SUM(_sample_interval * count)`, every percentile a weighted quantile, and every
+query goes through one helper that allowlists Analytics Engine's documented functions.
+Browser metrics are extracted from Faro measurements at ingest (§B.2); server metrics are
+written by the API worker.
+
+**F.2 Catalogue.**
+
+| Journey | Signals |
+|---|---|
+| **Play** | `preview.ready_ms` (pick → `data-preview-status="ready"`, by tier/framework/ht_major — the headline metric); `sandpack.compile_ms`; `sandpack.compile_error` (fingerprint, no code); `sandpack.bundler_unreachable`; `preview.runtime_error` groups (ladder-deduped); `version.switch`; `bucket.resolve_ms` |
+| **Edit live** | `session.start` (server; outcomes `ready`, `at_capacity`, `container_starting`, `boot_timeout`, `budget_denied`, `error`) and `session.start_ms` (client, cold/warm); `container.boot_ms`; `hmr.roundtrip_ms` where a reliable hook exists; `session.end` with reason and awake seconds; `pool.gauge` every 5 min |
+| **Share & build** | `snapshot.build`; `serve.share`, `serve.d`, `serve.embed` (demo id as a blob); web vitals on `/share` and `/d` |
+| **Embed on docs** | beacon `error.uncaught` and `web_vital` by demo id and `ht_major`; broken-embed and slow-embed lists by demo id |
+| **Assist** | `chat.answer` (model, tokens, USD, latency, outcome), `chat.edit`, `theme.ai`, `import.url`, `payload.boot` |
+| **Examples** | ADR-0042 |
+| **Platform** | `api.request` (route class, status class, duration); `error.handled`; `budget.gauge` every 5 min; `reconcile.run`; o11y self: `o11y.ingest`, `o11y.drain`, `o11y.wake`, `o11y.backlog`, `o11y.alert` |
+
+Sampling: authoring Faro 100 %; beacon errors 100 %, vitals 10 %; Worker lines 100 %;
+Worker traces 1 % into Cloudflare's dashboard only.
+
+Dashboards, provisioned from git: Runner overview (with deploy annotations), Tier-2
+sessions, Tier-1 playground, Version health (framework × ht_major, `next` highlighted),
+Docs embeds, AI assist, Examples & features (ADR-0042), Observability self. Cost moves to
+ADR-0043, because spend truth is D1.
+
+**F.3 Alerting runs outside the box, with state.** Grafana holds no alert rules: its
+state would not survive a sleep.
+
+| Signal | Owner | Latency |
+|---|---|---|
+| Uncaught error, new issue, regression | Sentry | seconds |
+| Spend thresholds (200/500/800) | `reconcile.ts` `captureMessage` to Sentry, as today | nightly |
+| `at_capacity` rate, 5xx rate from `api.request`, preview-ready rate per tier, session start p95, embed error rate per demo id, compile-error rate per `ht_major` day over day, snapshot-build failed rate per framework, LiteLLM error rate (`chat.answer` + `theme.ai`), inbox backlog age, a `rejected` inbox key, the o11y spend cap | o11y worker `*/10` cron over Analytics Engine and `InboxWriter` → Slack | minutes |
+| New handled-error fingerprint | the exact first-seen registry in `InboxWriter` (not sampled data), excluding `surface = demo-runtime`, whose keystroke ladders are authored-code output | minutes |
+| The o11y stack itself stale (no cron tick or ingest for 30 min) | the API worker's `*/5` cron reads the o11y heartbeat over a service binding and sends `captureMessage` to Sentry | minutes |
+
+Alert state (firing, resolved, last notified) lives in Durable Object storage: a rule
+notifies once when it fires and once when it resolves, never on every tick. Thresholds are
+starting values, tuned after launch: preview-ready below 97 % (Tier-1) or 95 % (Tier-2)
+over 1 h; session start p95 above 20 s; `at_capacity` above 5/h; 5xx above 1 % over
+15 min; LiteLLM errors above 5 %; compile errors on one `ht_major` doubling day over
+day; snapshot builds failing above 50 % per framework over 30 min with at least 10
+failed; an embed above 20 % errors with more than 50 views in 24 h; backlog older
+than 2 h.
+
+### G. Cost is its own number, with its own cap
+
+- `recordContainerUsage` takes the SKU as a parameter; `o11y_container` carries the box's
+  awake seconds, reported by the o11y worker to the API worker over the `API` service
+  binding (the API worker owns D1 and KV; the o11y worker binds neither).
+- `reconcile.ts` iterates over the scripts it reconciles, `handsontable-demos-api` and
+  `handsontable-demos-o11y`, and writes each script's billing rows under distinct SKUs
+  (`o11y_container`, `o11y_workers`), so the per-SKU upsert never overwrites the app's
+  rows.
+- `/admin` shows app, observability and total.
+- `O11Y_BUDGET_USD` (default $15/month) joins the guardrail settings. When month-to-date
+  observability spend crosses it, drains pause, visit wakes still work, and one Slack line
+  is posted. Metrics and alerts keep working, because they read Analytics Engine, not Loki.
+  Log text is kept only while the pause is shorter than the inbox's 7-day lifecycle and
+  Loki's 7-day `reject_old_samples_max_age`; a longer pause loses the oldest log text, and
+  that is the price of the cap.
+- **Why the cap ($15) sits above the exit ceiling ($10)**: the ceiling is a design check
+  at current traffic, measured once in exit criterion 7; the cap is a runtime brake. A cap
+  at the ceiling would pause drains on the first busy month or heavy week of Grafana use,
+  which is exactly when the logs matter. The $5 gap is headroom for traffic growth; a
+  month that reaches it is a signal to revisit the design, not normal operation.
+  Product tiers keep acting on the total. The bound is honest: drains are capped by the
+  pause; visits are bounded by the 15-minute idle stop and the 4-hour limit (§A), not by
+  construction.
+
+### H. Access, jurisdiction, retention
+
+- **Login broker, not Cloudflare Access**: every `@handsontable.com` account, as for
+  `/admin` — the same Handsontable login broker (ADR-0007). A callback page under
+  `/grafana/_o11y/` reads the broker's fragment token once and exchanges it for the
+  Worker's own HMAC-signed session cookie (`gates/session.ts`); Grafana Viewer via
+  `auth.proxy`. This **conforms to ADR-0007 rather than deviating from it**. The earlier
+  claim in this section — that the broker "hands a JWT to a SPA and cannot gate a proxied
+  third-party HTML application" — was wrong: hot-mcp's own `create_app` runtime gates a
+  proxied app the identical way, and a point-in-time production probe (the §M
+  access-broker delta has the exact curl command and its `302` result, dated 2026-09-24)
+  confirmed the callback host was allowed as of that date — expected to still hold, but
+  re-run that probe before launch rather than assuming it (see the §M access-broker delta
+  also for the one risk this design inherits rather than fixes, DEV-3088).
+- **EU-pinned**: the container (`jurisdiction: "eu"`), both Durable Objects, the inbox,
+  Loki and maps buckets.
+- **Deploy order** for the mutual service bindings: the o11y worker first (binding the
+  existing API worker), then the API worker with its `O11Y` binding.
+- **Not EU-pinned, stated plainly**: Cloudflare's own Workers Observability store keeps
+  full lines and 1 % of spans for 7 days while `persist: true`, which is switched off 30
+  days after this ADR is accepted; Analytics Engine; the Workers edge; Sentry, whose
+  ingest host is `ingest.us.sentry.io` (unchanged); D1, which has an EEUR location hint,
+  not a jurisdiction, and cannot gain one later.
+- **Retention**: Loki `browser` 30 days, `worker` 90 days (§B.4); inbox objects 7 days;
+  maps 30 days; Analytics Engine 3 months (platform); D1 rollups unbounded;
+  `analytics_visitors` 180 days as today.
+
+### I. Local development
+
+Layout: `workers/o11y/` (Worker, both DOs), `containers/o11y/` (Dockerfile, Loki and
+Grafana config, provisioning, `compose.yml`), `pipeline/fixtures/otlp/`,
+`pipeline/o11y-*.test.mjs`. The whole new stack runs locally with Docker: the box through
+`wrangler dev` or `compose.yml`; the o11y worker with Miniflare's R2, DO and cron; Loki on
+Miniflare's local S3 endpoint for R2 or MinIO; Analytics Engine replaced by a ClickHouse
+container holding an AE-shaped `runner_events` table, queried with the same SQL through
+the allowlisting helper; the login broker's session check by a fail-closed `DEV_ADMIN`
+bypass in `.dev.vars`.
+Cloudflare's OTLP export does not run locally; its fixtures are real bodies captured by
+the sandbox probe, scrubbed, plus hand-built edge cases. `pnpm o11y:dev` starts the box,
+the Worker and the fixture replay.
+
+### J. ADR-0042 and ADR-0043
+
+ADR-0042 (example analytics) ships with this ADR: it needs the ingest path and Grafana,
+and its events are counts only. ADR-0043 (`/admin` reads in Grafana) follows after launch;
+the manual ledger re-open does not wait for it and lives on `/grafana/_o11y/reopen`.
+
+### K. Tests
+
+Every implementing change carries tests that fail with the change reverted
+(docs/TESTING.md, the presence gate): gate tests per §B.5 row; `InboxWriter` tests for
+normalisation, dedupe, storage-backed buffering across a simulated restart, sequence
+persistence and key order; ledger tests for provisional/committed/re-opened/rejected
+transitions and marker handling; a label test asserting the Loki series for each source
+carry exactly the contract labels (exit criterion 15); scrubber tests per rule on real inputs (a Babel code
+frame, a preview-host URL, a user-agent string); a config test pinning the Loki keys of
+§B.4 and the `observability` block of §D; symbolication against a real `vite build`;
+beacon injection and an `acorn` ES5 parse; `e2e/o11y-local.spec.ts`, which drives a
+real browser against the real o11y worker and asserts the resulting points land in the
+local Analytics Engine stand-in (ClickHouse rows) — not a Loki query. Loki queryability
+itself is proven separately: `containers/o11y/local/stop-roundtrip.mjs`'s own
+`query_range` calls against a real local Loki (the clean-stop/reopen roundtrip, criteria
+1–2), and the local end-to-end walkthrough's live Grafana Logs-panel checks
+(`docs/run-and-deploy.md`'s local-dev section).
+
+### L. Delivery and exit criteria
+
+**Probes.** Cloudflare-only facts are measured with throwaway resources on the sandbox
+account: separate Worker names, a probe-only config, `wrangler whoami` before every
+deploy, synthetic traffic only, every resource deleted afterwards and listed.
+
+**Order**: shared contract and scaffolds; the box and its stop protocol (spike a);
+ingest and `InboxWriter` (spike b); drain, ledger and Grafana access; API worker signals;
+Faro and the beacon; alerts and cost; ADR-0042; dashboards; CI and runbook; the local
+end-to-end walkthrough and launch.
+
+**Exit criteria**, each a pass/fail with recorded evidence:
+
+1. **Clean stop**: lines pushed, clean stop, fresh wake → 100 % of lines queryable and the
+   marker present, written with the **production-scoped** R2 token, not a local
+   all-bucket credential. **Plan B** if Loki does not upload the index on graceful shutdown: the
+   stop protocol waits for the next 15-minute index rotation and its upload before
+   stopping, and wakes are thinned to backlog > 3 h or > 128 MB, which keeps the cost
+   model within criterion 7; if that fails too, the serverless store replaces Loki.
+2. **Unclean stop**: SIGKILL mid-drain, next wake → re-open → `count_over_time` and a log
+   query both equal a single clean replay.
+3. **Event time**: stored timestamps equal event time (clamped for browsers) for Faro,
+   beacon and OTLP records, including OTLP records without `time_unix_nano`.
+4. **Duplicate delivery**: the same export body delivered twice produces one copy.
+5. **Symbolication**: an exception from a real `vite build` resolves to `src/…` file and
+   line using at most 500 ms CPU and 64 MB of isolate memory; Babel-chunk frames are
+   skipped, not parsed.
+6. **Cold start**: wake-to-ready at most 90 s, worst of five runs on Cloudflare.
+7. **Drain wake**: one hour of production-shaped traffic drains in at most 5 minutes of
+   wall time, no alarm invocation exceeds the configured `cpu_ms`, CPU per object is
+   recorded, and the cost model recomputed from the measured duration stays at or under
+   $10/month at current traffic.
+8. **Volume**: each allotment of §D under half, projected from measured per-session and
+   per-request counts times production traffic.
+9. **Idle tab**: an open, idle Grafana tab lets the box stop at the 15-minute idle timeout.
+10. **Placement**: the Container's Durable Object namespace accepts `.jurisdiction("eu")`
+    and the instance runs in an EU region.
+11. **Worker errors**: an error thrown in a fetch handler, a DO alarm and the cron handler
+    each produce a structured line in Loki with `invocation_logs: false`.
+12. **Stop semantics**: what `onStop` reports for our own `stop()` is recorded, and a
+    Worker-initiated stop does not escalate to SIGKILL before the clean marker is written.
+13. **Retention**: R2 lifecycle deletes expired chunk prefixes per tenant, and queries past
+    `max_query_lookback` return nothing.
+14. **Image**: compressed size recorded and at most 1 GB, and it fits the instance disk.
+15. **Labels**: records from each source (Faro, beacon, Cloudflare export, deploy events)
+    arrive in Loki with every `hot.*`, `service.name` and `deployment.environment.name`
+    label populated, and `hot.demo_id`, `session.id` and `cf.ray` present as structured
+    metadata only, never as labels. Checked with Loki's label and series APIs, locally and
+    on the sandbox probe with a real Cloudflare export.
+
+If criterion 1, 2 or 7 fails with its plan B, the design is rewritten toward the
+serverless store before more is built.
+
+**Results (local end-to-end pass plus every sandbox probe):**
+
+| # | Criterion | Result |
+|---|---|---|
+| 1 | Clean stop, production-scoped token | **PASS** — sandbox probe with a real bucket-scoped R2 token (T03B), local `compose`/`wrangler dev` both pass (T03-D2 fixed: the drain now posts a real OTLP `resourceLogs` envelope, not bare NDJSON) |
+| 2 | Unclean stop, reopen | **PASS, fully** — real SIGKILL mid-drain on the sandbox platform (T03B): reopen, replay, `count_over_time` and a log query both equal one clean replay. Independently reproduced locally (T11): an interrupted wake's canary record reopens and replays to exactly one Loki line, both query forms agreeing |
+| 3 | Event time | **PASS** (local) — clamped browser timestamps, un-clamped OTLP `time_unix_nano` (T02); a real, old-dated captured OTLP fixture was genuinely rejected by Loki's 7-day window this pass, which is only possible if its stored timestamp preserved real event time |
+| 4 | Duplicate delivery | **PASS** (local) — the same body delivered twice produces one copy; re-confirmed live and repeatedly this pass (`o11y.ingest` outcome `duplicate`) |
+| 5 | Symbolication | **PASS at the local/Node level; not verified inside a real Workers isolate** — every measurement (T03, T11) uses a Node-process CPU/memory proxy, explicitly labelled as a proxy; no task had a way to profile a real Workers isolate |
+| 6 | Cold start | **PASS** — sandbox: 46.5s worst-of-5 (T01), 3–22s after the T03-D3 fix (T03) |
+| 7 | Drain wake (time + cost) | **PASS at the corrected traffic scale** — sandbox (T03B): 28s wake-to-drain-complete at 1× (≈432 records/hr, T05's own per-session line count), 44s at 10× (≈4325/hr); cost $0.21/month at 1×, $0.33/month at 10× — both far under the $10 ceiling |
+| 8 | Volume | **Mixed, measured, not a breakeven guess** — Analytics Engine points and the raw Workers Logs pool both pass at 10× with real margin; the **exported-logs allotment does not** (§D above has the numbers and the fallback) |
+| 9 | Idle tab | **PASS by mechanism** — sandbox (T01): the box's own quiet-timer stopped it after 17.65 minutes with zero HTTP requests, which is what an idle tab with Grafana Live disabled also produces; never independently reproduced with a literal open browser tab |
+| 10 | Placement | **PASS** — sandbox: EU region `mxp04` (Milan) |
+| 11 | Worker errors → structured line | **PASS** — fetch-handler and cron paths confirmed live (T05, T11); the DO-alarm path is unit/pipeline-tested (T01–T03) but not independently reproduced live |
+| 12 | Stop semantics | **PASS** — `onStop` is recorded and, by design, claims nothing about cleanliness (T01); "no SIGKILL before the clean marker" is the same platform behaviour criteria 1 and 2 already confirm |
+| 13 | Retention | **Mechanism PASS, real expiry PENDING the calendar** — R2 lifecycle rules apply and read back correctly (T01, T10); T03B's own 1-day retention-clock test (`t03-retention-clock-test/`, `o11y-probe-t03-loki`) started 2026-09-23T14:15:22Z and has not yet reached 24h as of this pass |
+| 14 | Image size | **PASS** — 212.9 MB compressed, real `linux/amd64` build (T01), under the 1 GB bound; uncompressed size against the `standard-1` 8 GB disk was not separately recorded by any task |
+| 15 | Labels | **PASS, all four sources, both tenants** — confirmed live against the real committed `loki-config.yaml`: Faro (`demos-authoring`) and the lite beacon (`demos-embed`), browser tenant; the Cloudflare export (`demos-api`) and deploy events (`demos-o11y`), worker tenant — all seven labels populated, `service.version` present as a resource attribute but deliberately never promoted to a label (see §C.2), `hot.demo_id`/`session.id`/`cf.ray` never labels |
+
+§L's own trigger (criterion 1, 2 or 7 failing its plan B) is **not** engaged — all three pass.
+Two items keep this ADR at **Proposed** rather than **Accepted** (below): criterion 5's
+real-isolate measurement (no task had Workers isolate profiling access) and criterion 13's
+calendar-pending retention confirmation. Criterion 8's exported-logs finding is real and
+measured, not a missing-evidence gap; it is carried as a named pre-launch action in
+`docs/run-and-deploy.md` rather than as a blocker to this ADR's status, because the ADR's
+own §D already names the exact fallback (lower `head_sampling_rate`) for exactly this
+situation.
+
+### M. Implementation deltas (full detail in git history under
+the deleted `runner/tasks/o11y/`)
+
+Deltas already folded as direct edits above (§A cost, §A wake/stop, §B.3 drain-rejection,
+§C.2 labels, §D volume, §L results) are not repeated here. The rest, grouped by section,
+where they add information beyond what §A–§L already say:
+
+- **§B.2 ingest.** Hashing (step 2) uses each record's own raw, un-clamped source
+  timestamp alongside its body and attributes — not the clamped `time_unix_nano` a later
+  step computes — so two real deliveries of the same content at different real times still
+  hash differently, and the same body redelivered still dedupes. One aggregated
+  `o11y.ingest` point is written per *request* (not per record), so a batch of N duplicate
+  records reads as one `duplicate` point with `count = N`, not N separate points.
+  Every §3 resource attribute a source has no natural value for defaults to `"none"`
+  (`"unknown"` for `service.version` specifically, confirmed against real Cloudflare
+  export samples that never carry it at all) — this default is what makes exit criterion
+  15 pass for worker-origin sources, not a defensive fallback. A real
+  Cloudflare OTLP export's ray id arrives as `cloudflare.ray_id`, remapped to the
+  contract's own `cf.ray`. `HotAttrs` fields with no dotted `hot.*` resource-
+  attribute counterpart (`bucket`, `reason`, `fingerprint`, and others with no
+  browser call site emitting them yet) travel over an AE-only channel, read from a Faro
+  item's raw `context` before the browser's own scrub allowlist would otherwise drop
+  them — this channel needed its own allowlist extension (`AE_ONLY_ATTRIBUTE_KEYS`)
+  before it worked for real.
+- **§B.2 pack.** The pack alarm's "at 4 MB stored" trigger (step 6 above) is a real,
+  enforced upper bound on a single packed object's decompressed size
+  (`PACK_OBJECT_MAX_DECOMPRESSED_BYTES = 4 MB`), not only a flush-cadence hint. An
+  over-threshold burst is capped by **splitting into extra keys, not by cutting the
+  alarm's own accumulation short**: `packTenant` takes pending rows in arrival order up
+  to the budget and returns only that prefix (`consumedRowKeys`); `InboxWriter.alarm()`
+  loops `packTenant`/`commitPackedObject` per tenant over the leftover rows until
+  nothing remains or a 25-packed-object per-invocation cap is hit, rescheduling the
+  alarm immediately (`setAlarm(Date.now())`) when objects still remain. A single row
+  over budget on its own is still packed alone (row size is already bounded to
+  `INBOX_ROW_MAX_BYTES`, ~1 MB, well under the 4 MB object budget) rather than blocking
+  progress.
+- **§B storage API, DO 128-key batch limit** (confirmed platform fact). Cloudflare's
+  SQLite-backed Durable Object storage API caps
+  `get`/`put`/`delete` at 128 keys/key-value pairs per call
+  (<https://developers.cloudflare.com/durable-objects/api/storage-api/>, fetched
+  2026-09-24: "Supports up to 128 keys at a time" / "up to 128 key-value pairs at a
+  time"). Local `workerd` accepts 500+ in one call with no error, so this codebase's
+  own test doubles (`workers/o11y/src/inbox/storage.ts#memoryStorage()`,
+  `pipeline/fixtures/o11y-harness.mjs`) enforce the same cap explicitly rather than
+  relying on `workerd` to catch a violation. Every multi-key call in `InboxWriter` —
+  dedupe's `checkDuplicates`, the fingerprint registry's writes/prune, `pruneLedger`,
+  wake resolution, `markKeysProvisional`, manual reopen, the pack commit, and
+  `ingest`'s own transaction `put` — chunks through `storage.ts`'s
+  `getManyChunked`/`putChunked`/`deleteChunked`. `finalizeWakeResolution` and
+  `reopenWindow` run their whole put+delete sequence inside one
+  `storage.transaction()` — chunking alone, without that, would let a crash between
+  chunks leave a partial write (an orphaned `provisional:<wakeId>` key whose
+  `wake:<id>` is already gone).
+- **§B.3 drain reads whole objects.** Each drained key's packed object is read into
+  memory whole before its records are pushed
+  to Loki — this is bounded, not unbounded, because the object it reads was itself
+  capped at write time (`PACK_OBJECT_MAX_DECOMPRESSED_BYTES`, ~4 MB), plus at
+  most one further oversized single row (`INBOX_ROW_MAX_BYTES`, ~1 MB) packed alone
+  when it alone exceeds the object budget. So one drain-time read is bounded to roughly
+  4–5 MB, never the whole tenant's backlog at once. This bound is a property of the
+  PACK side (`inbox/pack.ts`), restated here as the drain-side consequence, not as a
+  claim about `drain.ts`'s own internals.
+- **§B.2 ingest, worker tenant.** A Worker's own `console.log(JSON.stringify(...))` line
+  (the structured request/error lines §D describes) arrives through Cloudflare's real OTLP
+  log export as **opaque body text**, not as OTLP attributes — confirmed with a real
+  captured export. The o11y
+  worker parses a JSON-object body and merges its keys into the same attribute bag a
+  real OTLP attribute would land in, through the existing allowlist, with every
+  §3 resource-attribute key **stripped from the parsed body first and given the lowest
+  merge priority** — a body key cannot spoof `service.name`/`deployment.environment.name`/
+  any `hot.*` label.
+- **§B.2 ingest, worker tenant — fingerprint** (live at merge). The API worker's
+  own handled-error lines (`reportDiagnostic`,
+  `workers/api/src/telemetry/diagnostic.ts`) carry `hot.fingerprint` (contract §3
+  AE-only key) in the same structured JSON body the bullet above describes. The read
+  half (`workers/o11y/src/normalise/otlp.ts#toIngestItem`/`apiFingerprintFeed`) reads
+  `bodyJsonAttrs["hot.fingerprint"]` (the pre-`hoistAttributes` bag
+  `tryParseJsonBodyAttrs` already builds) and feeds it into the `fp:` registry only
+  when ALL of: the REAL resource `service.name === "demos-api"` (read from
+  `finalResourceAttrs`, the resource attribute after hoisting/defaults — never from
+  `bodyJsonAttrs`, the same anti-spoof rule `RESOURCE_ATTR_KEY_SET` already enforces
+  for every other resource attribute); the parsed body's `log.kind === "error"`; the
+  value matches contract §7's own shape, via `isValidFingerprint` — ONE shared
+  validator, also used by the browser path's `resolveFingerprint`, never a second,
+  independently drifting copy: a validator anchored on the FIRST
+  `:` would reject the `:`-joined call-site paths `reportDiagnostic`'s own real callers
+  send — `"npm-registry:version-exists"`, `"npm-registry:versions"` — so neither could
+  ever satisfy this condition, gate aside.
+
+  **Two preconditions, both must hold:**
+  1. **Service-name remap:** a real Cloudflare OTLP export's resource `service.name` is the
+     deployed script's own name (`handsontable-demos-api`), not the contract's short
+     `demos-api` — `normalise/otlp.ts#remapCloudflareServiceName` strips the shared
+     `handsontable-` script-name prefix whenever what remains is one of the contract's
+     own `SERVICE_NAMES`, applied before `hoistAttributes`, general across every
+     deployable. Confirmed against the captured real-export fixtures
+     (`pipeline/fixtures/otlp/json/console-log-line*.json`,
+     `cloudflare-invocation-log.json`), every one of which carries the raw script name.
+  2. **Shared fingerprint validator:** it accepts a `:`-joined `context`, so
+     `reportDiagnostic`'s own real call sites' fingerprints pass the shape check at
+     all — see above.
+
+  Without BOTH, this gate is a correctly-gated no-op against real production traffic,
+  not a silent bypass; with both, it fires for real. **This makes it LIVE at merge**
+  (the o11y worker's `*/10` new-fingerprint cron runs unconditionally, regardless of
+  `SENTRY_SCOPE`/`VITE_SENTRY_SCOPE` — those only gate whether a moved report ALSO
+  reaches Sentry, §E.3), not gated behind any later `SENTRY_SCOPE` flip —
+  `docs/run-and-deploy.md`'s runbook is updated with this as an explicit precondition
+  check, not just a flip-time one.
+
+  The fourth condition — not Tier-2 container stdout — is attempted by construction,
+  not guaranteed: the B cross-note fix (two bullets below) makes `tryParseJsonBodyAttrs`
+  refuse to parse ANY body whose own `log.kind` isn't one of this worker's trusted
+  shapes, so `bodyJsonAttrs` is empty for a body with no matching sentinel — but the
+  sentinel is body TEXT, not a resource attribute, and (known gap, not fully resolved —
+  see `normalise/otlp.ts#tryParseJsonBodyAttrs`'s
+  own doc comment for the full analysis) nothing in this pipeline can currently
+  tell a genuine `lines.ts` line apart from a Tier-2 container's own authored stdout
+  that happens to print the same shape, since both would share this Worker's
+  `service.name` once the service-name remap normalises it. Accepted, bounded residual: a forged line can
+  only mint a `fp:` entry and a notify-only, mrkdwn-escaped Slack line, the same
+  noise class already accepted for the browser path — never Sentry, PII or code
+  execution. Deliberately NOT `hot.surface !== "demo-runtime"` (the browser path's own
+  rule) — a worker-tenant record's `hot.surface` resource attribute defaults to
+  `"none"` when nothing sets it, which would admit any body reaching
+  `/telemetry/v1/logs`, forged or not.
+- **§C.1 hops.** Faro's real browser transport posts a `TransportBody`
+  (`{meta, exceptions?, logs?, measurements?, events?, traces?}`), not an array of
+  self-contained items the way every contract function's own types assume — the ingest
+  route reconstructs items from the four typed arrays.
+- **§C.3 symbolication.** A Faro exception's stack trace reaches the drain as V8-shaped
+  text in the record body — the pre-implementation contract had no field carrying frame
+  data for this to resolve at all.
+- **§D Worker signals.** `container.boot_ms` (not `session.start`'s own `boot_timeout`
+  outcome) is what fires when the Tier-2 boot window is exceeded — the original design
+  would have double-counted a session that later times out after already reporting
+  `session.start` `ready` once (a design correction made before shipping, not
+  after). Several §5 metrics remain real but never observed in practice: `pool.gauge`
+  `reason="builder"` (no signal tracks `BuilderSandbox` concurrency the way live sessions
+  are tracked), `snapshot.build` `reason="inline"` (only the detached build path is
+  instrumented), `session.end` `reason="sleep_after"` (nothing observes the Sandbox SDK's
+  own idle-timeout stop) — all named gaps, not silently dropped. A cron
+  failure inside `ctx.waitUntil()` is structurally unreachable by `@sentry/cloudflare`'s
+  own auto-capture (its `scheduled` instrumentation only wraps the synchronous handler
+  invocation) — every cron branch calls `Sentry.captureException` explicitly in its own
+  catch (confirmed live: a forced cron failure without this produced zero Sentry
+  envelopes; with it, exactly one).
+- **§E Sentry.** The full call-site inventory found one real §11 violation: `App.tsx`'s
+  `versions-fetch` diagnostic was unconditional before this ADR's switch existed, exactly
+  the shape §E.1 already names as "handled." §E.3 is binding for demo-runtime preview
+  events: `reportDemoEvent` keeps its full pre-ADR Sentry behaviour (including the
+  `DEMO_SURFACE` environment re-homing) under `full` scope, unreachable under `uncaught`
+  — "the re-homing disappears once the scope flips" is literally true only after the
+  flip, not at implementation time.
+- **§B.3 drain, a key with a mixed 400/2xx outcome** ("accepted chunks skip §B.3").
+  Pushing every chunk of a key even after an earlier one 400'd, while still
+  classifying the whole key `rejected` if ANY chunk 400'd — including when another chunk
+  landed 2xx — would be wrong: a `rejected` key never becomes `provisional`, so those
+  already-accepted
+  bytes never pass the §B.3 marker/commit check any wake's clean stop confirms
+  durability through: an unclean stop right after the push, before Loki's own local
+  flush, could lose them with no automatic replay (only a manual reopen, which — being
+  a full key replay — would re-derive the identical classification anyway). Instead: a
+  key with at least one accepted (2xx) chunk stays `provisional`, following the
+  normal durability path; only a key with ZERO accepted chunks stays `rejected`. The
+  permanent chunk loss stays operator-visible via a `rejectedEvent:` audit log
+  (`ledger.ts#recordPartialReject`, contract §8) rather than the key's own ledger state.
+- **§B.3/§F.3 storage housekeeping, remainder** ("prune ceiling").
+  Three gaps in the prune mechanism: (1) a 500-row/tick batch limit falls behind
+  ADR §D's own 10× traffic
+  projection at roughly 3× today's traffic — raised to 5,000/tick (still chunked to the
+  real 128-key limit per call, see the DO storage batch-limit bullet above), with the exact arithmetic in
+  `dedupe.ts#HASH_PRUNE_BATCH_LIMIT`'s doc comment; (2) `newFingerprintsSince` listed the
+  entire (alphabetically, not chronologically, ordered) `fp:` prefix every ten-minute
+  alert tick — a new `fpts:<firstSeenMs>:<fingerprint>` time-ordered secondary index
+  (contract §8) makes this a bounded range read instead, with a truncation-safe cursor
+  in `alerts/rules.ts#newFingerprintRule` (never skips an unread fingerprint, at the cost
+  of a bounded duplicate report under sustained flood — the same trade-off already
+  accepted for the cursor's grace window); (3) `rejected-inbox-key` fired on
+  `rejectedKeyCount() > 0` and never resolved (rejected `key:` entries are deliberately
+  never pruned by date alone — see the row-19 bullet's `rejectedEvent:` log and the
+  §B storage API bullet above) — it now fires on a RECENT (last hour) count from that
+  same log instead, resolving once new rejections stop.
+- **§F metering.** ADR-0042's `example.*` events needed the same AE-only attribute-channel
+  extension as §B.2 above (`kind`→`hot.metric_kind`, since `hot.kind` is reserved for the
+  Faro item kind, `ref`, `area`) before `kind`/`ref`/`area` survived the browser scrub at
+  all. A post-fork landing needs a one-shot, non-storage URL marker (`?fork=1`,
+  stripped via `history.replaceState` on read) to classify as `entry="fork"` rather than
+  `"deep-link"`, because `onFork`'s navigation is a full page reload — the same
+  hard-navigation pattern the rest of the app already uses for every route change, which
+  destroys any in-memory alternative.
+- **§H access.** `ACCESS_AUD` is still the committed `""` placeholder as of this ADR's own
+  fold — no Access application was ever minted; `docs/run-and-deploy.md`'s Launch plan
+  names this as the first pre-condition to confirm before any real deploy.
+- **§H access (supersedes the bullet above).** The `/grafana/*` Access application
+  named above was never created before launch. It was replaced with the
+  Handsontable login broker (ADR-0007) instead of finishing it — `gates/session.ts`
+  (session cookie, `DEV_ADMIN` bypass), `gates/broker.ts` (the one-time `/broker/userinfo`
+  call), `grafana/login.ts` (login/callback/session/logout). A real production probe
+  (curl against
+  `mcp-auth-proxy-j0tb.onrender.com/broker/login`, 2026-09-24) confirmed `302` to
+  Google for `return_to=https://demos.handsontable.com/grafana/_o11y/callback?n=…`, so the
+  callback path is allowed today (see `docs/run-and-deploy.md`'s step 5 for the exact
+  command; a separate local round trip against a *stubbed* broker proves the
+  Worker's own code, not the real broker's live configuration, and should not be read
+  as a second production probe). **This widens DEV-3088's blast radius, it does not just
+  inherit it**: the broker's
+  `return_to` allowlist is host-suffix-only, so it also admits anonymous Tier-2 preview
+  hosts under `*.demos.handsontable.com`, letting anyone harvest a team member's 1h broker
+  token. Before this change, a stolen token could not reach Grafana at all (`ACCESS_AUD` was `""`,
+  so Access refused everything); now, it can be exchanged for a Grafana session. This
+  narrows the exposure: `gates/session.ts#computeSessionTtlSeconds` caps the session at
+  `min(now + 12h, brokerTokenExp)` (falling back to 1h when the token carries no readable
+  `exp`) instead of a flat 12h, so a stolen token buys close to its own remaining
+  lifetime, not up to 11 extra hours — narrows, does not close. DEV-3088 itself remains
+  open and is filed and tracked separately from this ADR.
+- **§I local development.** `wrangler dev`'s local Container reaches `compose.yml`'s
+  standalone `minio`/`clickhouse` services (started without the `box` service) via
+  Docker's own `host.docker.internal`, since the two are never on the same Docker network.
+
+## Consequences
+
+- **ADR-0040** decisions A (hour dimension) and B (`usage_hourly`) are not built;
+  awake-seconds per hour and sampled peak concurrency become Analytics Engine points
+  (C.2, C.3). **C.1 stands as written**: `at_capacity` is a `usage_daily` counter, and is
+  also emitted as a `session.start` outcome. D (privacy) stands.
+- **ADR-0022** gains a subordinate o11y ceiling and per-script billing rows;
+  `recordContainerUsage` takes a SKU.
+- **ADR-0038**'s WAF exception grows by one path, `/telemetry/*`.
+- **ADR-0007**: no longer deviated from — `/grafana/*` gates through the same
+  Handsontable login broker as every other internal surface (§H).
+- **ADR-0020**: more route patterns on the main hostname, still in deploy commands.
+- **Sentry** keeps uncaught errors (as §E.1 defines them) and spend alerts; handled
+  diagnostics move and lose grouping; the per-event `environment` re-homing and the
+  `demo-runtime` environment disappear once the scope flips.
+- **Source maps** are no longer deleted inside `vite build`; CI uploads them to Sentry
+  and to R2, then deletes them before deploy.
+- **We own**: the Faro-to-OTLP converter, the scrubber, the symbolicator, the drain and
+  its ledger, and the alert evaluator. That is more code than revision 2, in exchange for
+  synchronous acknowledgements, event-time timestamps, and one path for every record.
+- **New operational surface**: one image (Loki + Grafana), three EU buckets, two Durable
+  Object classes, provisioning in git, a fixture set, one Slack webhook, one
+  `O11Y_SESSION_SECRET` (no Access application; `/grafana/*` gates through the
+  existing login broker instead).
+- **Accepted limits**: no browser-to-worker trace join and no traces in Grafana until
+  `spanContext()`; no alert rules or durable UI state in Grafana; the first visit after a
+  sleep waits behind the waking page; an unclean stop costs a replay and duplicate storage
+  until lifecycle; embeds have no docs page attribution; handled errors have no issue
+  grouping; the non-EU items listed in §H.
+- **Cost**: ≈ $5–8/month target, $10 exit ceiling, reported separately, capped
+  separately, summed under the same product ceiling. **Measured (real platform,
+  §A/§L.7): $0.21/month at 1× traffic, $0.33/month at 10×** — both far under target.
+- **Volume**: Analytics Engine and the raw Workers Logs pool both pass exit criterion 8 at
+  10× with real margin; the exported-logs allotment does not, measured (§D) —
+  `docs/run-and-deploy.md`'s Launch plan carries the pre-launch action (a real Tier-2
+  stdout measurement to confirm or refine the projection, and the `head_sampling_rate`
+  fallback if it holds).

+# ADR-0042: Count which examples people open, by docs guide and starter
+
+**Status:** Proposed — design approved 2026-09-23 (revision 2), implemented.
+Ships with ADR-0041 and depends on its ingest path and Grafana; stays at the same status
+(Proposed) until ADR-0041 flips to Accepted, for the same two pending items (see
+ADR-0041's own status line and Implementation deltas below).
+
+## Context
+
+Nobody can say which Handsontable features people reach for a live example of.
+Opening an example on `/` — `?docs=<content-path>` for a documentation-guide example,
+`?example=<starter>` for a starter — never reaches the API worker: the SPA and the
+example JSON come from the assets worker, and `notePageView` counts only `/d`, `/embed`
+and `/share`.
+
+What already exists:
+
+- **The taxonomy.** The docs-example JSON under
+  `apps/authoring/public/docs-examples/<bucket>/` holds 1,482 entries across 130 guides,
+  each with `guide`, `exampleId`, `docPermalink`, `breadcrumb` (its first element is the
+  area: Columns, Rows, Formulas, Accessibility, Recipes…), `framework` and `lang`.
+  Starters are the 19 keys of `config/frameworks.json`.
+- **Attribution.** `demos.forked_from` already records each saved demo's origin
+  lineage (`catalog:<framework>`, `mcp:<framework>`, and docs, import and payload
+  prefixes), so saved demos and their `/d` and `/embed` views can be traced to an
+  example without a migration. The implementing task confirms the exact docs format and
+  the first date from which every save carries it (review: 2026-07-17). **Confirmed
+  (from git history, not production data):** the docs format is
+  `docs:<bucket>:<content-path>` (three segments), landed in commit `3277a52a4`,
+  **2026-07-17 13:38:35 +0200** — before that commit, a docs save carried only the
+  2-segment `docs:<content-path>` (no bucket), whose `ref` cannot be resolved back to a
+  guide. This ADR's own §"No migration for attribution" rule uses this exact date as the
+  cutoff for "unknown." No code in this repository performs the `forked_from` ↔ `/d`/
+  `/embed`-view join this Context section describes — it is groundwork for ADR-0043, not
+  a deliverable of this ADR.
+- **No referrer.** The docs site's buttons use `rel="noopener noreferrer"` and the site
+  sends `strict-origin-when-cross-origin`, so a docs deep link cannot be told apart from a
+  direct visit by its referrer, and no embed request carries the docs page path.
+
+Constraint: anonymous by construction. Counts only, no user id, no per-request rows.
+
+## Decision
+
+1. **`example.open`**, fired once per resolved example (not per render) at the
+   example-resolve path in `App.tsx`, sent through the ADR-0041 facade and turned into an
+   Analytics Engine point at ingest. It is **never written to the inbox or Loki**, so it
+   carries no page-load id anywhere it is stored. Attributes: `kind` (`docs`, `starter`,
+   `saved`, `import`, `payload`), `ref` (defined per `kind`, `exampleAnalytics.ts#exampleTaxonomy`:
+   the docs guide path for `docs`; the starter's `config/frameworks.json` key for `starter`;
+   the saved demo's id for `saved`; the import provider for `import`; the payload source for
+   `payload`), `area` (the
+   loaded entry's first breadcrumb element; it is not derivable from `ref`), `framework`
+   (for docs examples this already distinguishes JavaScript from TypeScript), `ht_major`,
+   `bucket`, and
+   `entry` — `deep-link` when the example came from the URL at page load, `picker`,
+   `switch`, `version-switch` or `fork` otherwise. `entry` is known inside the app, so it
+   needs no referrer. **Implementation note:** distinguishing a post-fork landing
+   from an ordinary deep link needs a one-shot URL marker (`?fork=1`, stripped on read via
+   `history.replaceState`, never `localStorage`/`sessionStorage`), because `onFork`
+   navigates with a full page reload — the same hard-navigation pattern the rest of the
+   app already uses for every route change, which destroys any in-memory alternative. A
+   bare `/` with no `?example=`/`?docs=` at page load (the silent starter default) is not
+   counted as a `deep-link` open — that default is not the visitor reaching for anything.
+2. **Engagement**, same shape and same storage rule: `example.engaged` (first code edit,
+   or preview ready plus 30 s), `example.forked`, `example.saved`, `example.shared`,
+   `example.downloaded`. Engaged opens rank features; raw opens rank curiosity.
+   `example.saved` is the one the API worker writes, when an editor Save's rebuild
+   succeeds, because the rebuild can take longer than the visitor stays on the page. The
+   editor passes the open example's `ht_major` in the Save request, so the row has the
+   same values the browser would have sent (contract §5).
+3. **No migration for attribution**: rollups join `demos.forked_from` against `/d` and
+   `/embed` view counts; demos saved before the confirmed date are reported as `unknown`.
+4. **Analytics Engine layout**: `kind`, `ref` and `area` take three of the blob slots the
+   observability contract left unassigned (`blob17`–`blob19`); one stays free.
+   **Implementation note:** these three keys, and ADR-0041 §F's own AE-only
+   `bucket`/`reason`/`fingerprint` keys, share one transport problem — none has a dotted
+   `hot.*` resource-attribute form, so the browser's own scrub allowlist silently dropped
+   them before this was found and fixed (ADR-0041 §M). `kind` is read from
+   `hot.metric_kind`, not `hot.kind`, which is reserved for the Faro item's own kind.
+5. **Permanent record**: a nightly step in the reconcile cron recomputes **the previous
+   full UTC day** from Analytics Engine into D1 `example_daily(day, kind, ref, area,
+   framework, ht_major, opens, engaged, forked, saved, shared, downloaded)` with primary
+   key `(day, kind, ref, framework, ht_major)` (`area` is a function of `ref`), written
+   with `INSERT OR REPLACE`. Re-running it for a day replaces that day's rows; events
+   arriving after the day closed are not counted. Counts use
+   `SUM(_sample_interval * count)`. **Follow-up:** `example_daily` shipped
+   without a `downloaded` column — this decision's own six-metric list above
+   included `example.downloaded`, but the table and rollup only ever carried the other
+   five. Migration `0009_example_daily_downloaded.sql` (additive `ALTER TABLE ... ADD
+   COLUMN downloaded INTEGER NOT NULL DEFAULT 0`) and the matching `reconcile.ts` rollup
+   change close that gap; existing rows backfill to `downloaded = 0` (their true count for
+   already-rolled days is unrecoverable from D1 alone, and 0 never overcounts).
+6. **Dashboard** "Examples & features" reads Analytics Engine, so it covers the last three
+   months without D1: top guides by opens and engaged opens, area breakdown, framework
+   split per guide, starter ranking, `ht_major` distribution, the funnel open → engaged →
+   saved → shared per area, deep-link share of opens, zero-open examples over 90 days. A
+   long-range view from `example_daily` waits for ADR-0043's D1 path. **Not implemented:**
+   the zero-open-examples-over-90-days panel — Analytics Engine only ever holds
+   points for events that happened, so a "never happened" query needs the full docs-example
+   taxonomy (every guide × framework that exists, from the docs-examples JSON, not from
+   `runner_events` or D1) to diff against; the other seven panels shipped.
+
+## Consequences
+
+- One event family, one D1 table, one nightly rollup step, one dashboard. No `demos`
+  migration.
+- The data measures who reached for a live example, not who read the docs page; pair it
+  with the docs site's analytics before calling a feature important.
+- Docs pages are not attributed to embed views, and deep links are counted by how the app
+  was entered, not by where the visitor came from.
+- Tests: an `example.open` test that drives the real resolve path, a test that
+  `example.*` never reaches the inbox, and an idempotency test for the rollup.

+# ADR-0043: `/admin` reads move to Grafana; the writes stay on `/admin/controls`
+
+**Status:** Proposed — design approved 2026-09-23 (revision 2). Follows ADR-0041 after launch; amends ADR-0022.
+
+## Context
+
+`/admin` is one page (`apps/authoring/src/Admin.tsx`) over these API routes:
+
+| Route | Kind | Used for |
+|---|---|---|
+| `GET /api/admin/usage?days=N` | read | spend, tier, SKUs, daily spend and activity, demos, AI assistant, audience, first page of live sessions |
+| `GET /api/admin/sessions` | read | live-session paging and the 24 h tail |
+| `GET /api/admin/settings` | read | effective guardrail settings and whether they are overrides |
+| `PUT /api/admin/settings` | write | save guardrail settings |
+| `DELETE /api/admin/settings` | write | reset to defaults |
+| `DELETE /api/admin/sessions/:ref` | write | kill a live session |
+
+Every read comes from D1 or KV. Grafana has no D1 datasource and cannot be trusted to
+stay read-only on its own: any Viewer can make the Infinity plugin send arbitrary requests,
+POST included, to any host the datasource allows. A service-binding HTTP fetch lands in
+the same handler as public `/api` traffic, so "internal" cannot be a header.
+
+## Decision
+
+1. **Reads over RPC, not HTTP.** The API worker exposes a `WorkerEntrypoint` class
+   `AdminReads` with one method per read (`usage`, `sessions`, `settings`,
+   `costLedger`). It is reachable only through a service binding with
+   `entrypoint: "AdminReads"` from the o11y worker, never from the public fetch handler.
+2. **A read-only forwarder.** The o11y worker serves `GET /grafana/_o11y/admin/<name>`
+   behind the same session check as Grafana (the Handsontable login broker, ADR-0007
+   — not Cloudflare Access), maps `<name>` onto exactly those methods and
+   answers 404 to any other name and 405 to any other method. The Infinity datasource's
+   allowed-hosts list holds only this forwarder. No admin token exists in Grafana.
+3. **Panels**: Cost (moved here from ADR-0041: spend from `cost_ledger`, app /
+   observability / total, per SKU, estimate vs billing), Audience (unique visitors stay
+   D1-only — the salted hash table is the honest source and the 180-day rule governs it),
+   demos inventory, AI assistant, live sessions, and budget-tier history from ADR-0041's
+   `budget.gauge`. `example_daily` (ADR-0042) gets its long-range panel here.
+4. **`/admin/controls`** keeps the writes and the quick look: the settings form with
+   reset, the live-sessions table with kill, and the three budget numbers. The manual
+   inbox re-open stays on `/grafana/_o11y/reopen` (ADR-0041 §B.3).
+5. **Equivalence instead of a comparison week.** Grafana panels and `/admin` read the same
+   D1 rows, so the risk is the panel's query and transform, not the data. A test renders
+   both from one D1 fixture and asserts equal totals per panel (counts to the unit, USD to
+   the cent); one production spot check then compares the two for the same day. When
+   both pass, `/admin` redirects to Grafana through the login broker and the read
+   half of `Admin.tsx` is deleted.
+
+## Consequences
+
+- ADR-0022's `/admin` becomes `/admin/controls`; runtime-editable guardrails are
+  unchanged.
+- The API worker gains an RPC entrypoint; the o11y worker gains a second service binding
+  to it and a forwarder with an allowlist.
+- A quick look at spend no longer needs Grafana's cold start: the three numbers stay on
+  `/admin/controls`.
+- Tests: the forwarder refuses unknown names and non-GET methods; the public fetch handler
+  cannot reach `AdminReads`; the equivalence test per panel; `/admin/controls` with
+  `VITE_DEV_USER` cleared.

+## Observability (o11y worker, Grafana box)
+
+A third Worker, **`handsontable-demos-o11y`** (`workers/o11y/`), owns the
+`/telemetry/*` and `/grafana/*` routes on the same `demos.handsontable.com`
+host — `workers_dev: false`, `preview_urls: false` (contract §1: everything
+reaches it through the deploy script's `--routes` flags, never a Cloudflare
+subdomain). Full setup — buckets, lifecycle, secrets (`/grafana/*` gates through the
+Handsontable login broker, ADR-0007 — not Cloudflare Access), the export
+destination, deploy ordering — is in
+[run-and-deploy.md](run-and-deploy.md#one-time-setup); this is the
+resource inventory.

+| Rate limiting | namespace `1001` | `RATE_LIMITER` | self-chosen scoping id, provisioned automatically on deploy — no dashboard step |
+
+The API worker gains one addition of its own: an `O11Y` service binding to
+`handsontable-demos-o11y`, entrypoint `O11yHeartbeat` (the watchdog heartbeat
+RPC call, not an HTTP route) and a shared `RUNNER_EVENTS` Analytics Engine
+binding to the same `runner_events` dataset.
+
+The Grafana box (`containers/o11y/`) is a single container application — Loki
++ Grafana only, no Tier-2 Sandbox SDK involved — woken by a request to
+`/grafana/*` or the `*/10` backlog cron, and stopped again after an idle
+window. It is a different container mechanism from the 7 Tier-2 application
+images above (`@cloudflare/containers`, not `@cloudflare/sandbox`).

+**Permanent document**: it outlives the implementation task board and is what a
+dashboard author or a new emitter reads.
+
+Implemented once, in `packages/runtime/src/telemetry/`, exported as
+`@handsontable/demo-runtime/telemetry` — the subpath-export pattern `monitor-inject.ts`
+already uses for `@handsontable/demo-runtime/monitor`. The module is pure (no DOM, no
+Cloudflare imports), so the API worker, the o11y worker, the authoring app and
+`pipeline/` tests import the same definitions. `pipeline/telemetry-contract.test.mjs`
+parses the tables below and fails when the module disagrees with this file.
+
+**Changing this file**: in its own small PR, together with the module, before any code
+relies on the change. Metric rows and slots are **append-only**: never reuse, move or
+rename a slot or a metric name. Analytics Engine columns are positional, so a moved slot
+silently corrupts every stored row and no type checks it.

+|---|---|---|
+| `POST /telemetry/collect` | Faro payloads from the authoring app | host/env, bot filter, caps, kind allowlist, rate limit, server scrub |

+| `GET /grafana/_o11y/callback` | broker return; static page, no server-side check of its own | none (fix round M6: the `__Host-o11y_login` cookie + the live `/broker/userinfo` call happen on the `session` row below, not here — this route only serves a hash-pinned static page) |
+| `POST /grafana/_o11y/session` | mint the `__Host-o11y_session` cookie | per-IP rate limit; `__Host-o11y_login` cookie (nonce bound), same-origin `Origin`, `@handsontable.com` broker identity |
+| `GET /grafana/_o11y/logout` | a same-origin sign-out page (fix round M5) | none; the page itself fires the `POST` below |
+| `POST /grafana/_o11y/logout` | clear both cookies | same-origin `Origin` |

+
+**o11y worker** (`workers/o11y/wrangler.jsonc`):
+
+| Name | Kind | Value / purpose |
+|---|---|---|
+| `INBOX_WRITER` | Durable Object | class `InboxWriter`, one instance `main`, `.jurisdiction("eu")`; owns inbox keys, ledger, dedupe set, fingerprint registry, alert state |
+| `GRAFANA_BOX` | Durable Object + Container | class `GrafanaBox`, one instance `box`, `.jurisdiction("eu")`, container `jurisdiction: "eu"` |
+| `O11Y_INBOX` | R2 | bucket `handsontable-demos-o11y-inbox` (EU) |
+| `O11Y_LOKI_STATE` | R2 | bucket `handsontable-demos-o11y-loki` (EU); the Worker reads only `state/wakes/<wakeId>/clean` markers |
+| `O11Y_MAPS` | R2 | bucket `handsontable-demos-o11y-maps` (EU) |
+| `RUNNER_EVENTS` | Analytics Engine | dataset `runner_events` |
+| `API` | service binding | `handsontable-demos-api` (o11y usage metering, o11y spend, later `AdminReads`) |
+| `RATE_LIMITER` | Rate Limiting binding | gates `POST /telemetry/collect` and `POST /telemetry/lite` (ADR §B.5): 100 requests / 60 s per `cf-connecting-ip`, 429 with `Retry-After: 60`, which the browser's Faro transport waits out (runbook "Ingest rate limit") |
+| `O11Y_ENV` | var | `production` \| `local` |
+| `LOGIN_BROKER_URL` | var | Handsontable login broker base URL (ADR-0007, K1) — same value as `workers/api/wrangler.jsonc`'s own `LOGIN_BROKER_URL` |
+| `GITHUB_OIDC_REPOSITORY` | var | `handsontable/examples` |
+| `GITHUB_OIDC_WORKFLOW_REF` | var | `<owner>/<repo>/<workflow file path>@<ref>`, exact match — the deploy webhook's OIDC `workflow_ref` claim (ADR §B.5's "issuer, audience, repository, **workflow**") |
+| `CLOUDFLARE_ACCOUNT_ID` | var | duplicates `wrangler.jsonc`'s top-level `account_id` — a Worker has no runtime way to read its own account id, and `GrafanaBox` needs it to build the Loki bucket's R2 S3 endpoint and the Analytics Engine SQL API URL |
+| `SERVICE_VERSION` | `--var` in the deploy script | full `GITHUB_SHA`, same pattern as the API worker's own row below; falls back to `"dev"` when unset (`wrangler dev`) |
+| `LOKI_S3_BUCKET` | var, optional | probe-only override of the Loki bucket name (COMMON.md probe rules); falls back to the production bucket name when unset, so `wrangler.jsonc` need not set it at all |
+| `O11Y_EXPORT_SECRET` | secret | `x-o11y-secret` on the export destination and the deploy fallback |
+| `SENTRY_HOOK_SECRET` | secret | Sentry internal-integration client secret |
+| `AE_SQL_TOKEN` | secret | Analytics Engine SQL API (alert cron; passed to the box for Grafana) |
+| `LOKI_S3_ACCESS_KEY_ID`, `LOKI_S3_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY` | secrets | R2 S3 credentials, passed to the box as `envVars` |
+| `SLACK_WEBHOOK_URL` | secret | alert channel; never passed to the box |
+| `O11Y_SESSION_SECRET` | secret | HMAC key for the Worker's own `__Host-o11y_session`/`__Host-o11y_login` cookies (K1); rotating it logs every signed-in person out at once |
+| `RUNNER_EVENTS_CLICKHOUSE_URL` | `.dev.vars` only | local-mode stand-in for the Analytics Engine SQL API's URL (alert queries, §10); defaults to `http://localhost:8123` when absent |
+| `O11Y_LOCAL_MINIO_PORT`, `O11Y_LOCAL_CLICKHOUSE_PORT` | `.dev.vars` only | host ports `containers/o11y/compose.yml`'s `minio`/`clickhouse` are published on, reached from the box's Container via `host.docker.internal`; never set in production |
+| `O11Y_LOCAL_PUBLIC_ORIGIN` | `.dev.vars` only | the origin `wrangler dev` is actually reachable on, for Grafana's own `GF_SERVER_ROOT_URL` |
+| `DEV_ADMIN` | `.dev.vars` only | fail-closed local bypass of the session check |
+
+The box reaches the Loki bucket over S3 at
+`https://<account-id>.eu.r2.cloudflarestorage.com` with `LOKI_S3_*`, scoped to that bucket
+only; it writes Loki data and the clean markers there. Lifecycle rules: `browser/` chunks
+30 d, `worker/` chunks 90 d, index 90 d, `state/` 30 d.
+
+**API worker** additions (`workers/api/wrangler.jsonc`):
+
+| Name | Kind | Value / purpose |
+|---|---|---|
+| `RUNNER_EVENTS` | Analytics Engine | dataset `runner_events` |
+| `O11Y` | service binding, entrypoint `O11yHeartbeat` | `handsontable-demos-o11y`, `heartbeat()` RPC for the watchdog (not an HTTP route — A-C1) |
+| `SERVICE_VERSION` | `--var` in the deploy script | full `GITHUB_SHA` |
+| `SENTRY_SCOPE` | var | `full` \| `uncaught` (§11) |
+| `CF_ACCOUNT_ID` | var | GraphQL Analytics API account tag; also scopes the Analytics Engine SQL API read below |
+| `AE_SQL_TOKEN` | secret | Analytics Engine SQL API (Account Analytics Read) — production read side of the nightly `example_daily` rollup (ADR-0042 §5, C-I1). Unset means `reconcile.ts#queryExampleEventTotals` throws instead of rolling up an empty day |
+| `o11y-logs` | export destination name | referenced from `observability.logs.destinations` |
+| `*/5 * * * *` | cron | `pool.gauge`, `budget.gauge`, o11y heartbeat check |
+
+**Authoring app**: `VITE_SENTRY_RELEASE` (the `GITHUB_SHA` define) doubles as
+`service.version`; `VITE_TELEMETRY_LOCAL=1` enables the local path (§10) and is never set
+for a production build; `VITE_SENTRY_SCOPE` = `full` | `uncaught` (§11).
+
+**Headers**: `x-hot-session` (page-load id, browser → API worker), `x-o11y-secret`,
+`sentry-hook-signature`, the `__Host-o11y_session`/`__Host-o11y_login` cookies
+(`/grafana/*`'s own session, never forwarded to the container). Both cookies use `Path=/`
+(the `__Host-` prefix requires it), so the browser also sends them to `/api`, `/d` and
+the authoring app — none of those read them (the API worker reads only
+`Authorization`/`X-MCP-Secret`; authoring is static), but it means the cookie header
+itself must be stripped before proxying to the box (see `/grafana/*`'s gate row above).
+`x-o11y-grafana-user` (set by the o11y worker for Grafana `auth.proxy`; stripped from
+every client request), `X-Scope-OrgID` (Loki tenant: `browser` \| `worker`).
+
+## 3. Attributes
+
+All of these are **OTLP resource attributes** on every record, so Loki's `otlp_config`
+can promote them to labels.
+
+| Key | Values | Loki label | AE slot |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| `service.name` | `demos-authoring`, `demos-api`, `demos-o11y`, `demos-embed` | `service_name` | `blob1` |
+| `service.version` | full git SHA | no | `blob2` |
+| `deployment.environment.name` | `production`, `local` | `deployment_environment_name` | `blob3` |
+| `hot.surface` | `authoring`, `share`, `embed`, `d`, `api`, `demo-runtime`, `o11y` | `hot_surface` | `blob4` |
+| `hot.tier` | `1`, `2`, `static`, `none` | `hot_tier` | `blob5` |
+| `hot.framework` | a key of `config/frameworks.json` (every docs-example framework is one), or `none` | `hot_framework` | `blob6` |
+| `hot.ht_major` | `15`…`19`, `next`, `none` | `hot_ht_major` | `blob7` |
+| `hot.outcome` | per metric, see §5; `none` on a record no metric describes | `hot_outcome` | `blob8` |
+
+Ingest bounds both open labels, since each distinct label tuple is a Loki stream
+(5000 per tenant): a `hot.framework` outside the list above, or a `hot.outcome`
+outside the set of the item's metric (`none` when there is none), becomes `other`.
+A stored browser record (exception, log, event) always carries `hot.outcome` =
+`none`; only a measurement's AE point keeps its metric outcome. That caps the
+browser tenant at 4410 label tuples (collect 7 × 4 × 21 × 7, lite 2 × 1 × 21 × 7).
+The box's Loki sets `max_global_streams_per_user` to 20000, over 4× that worst case;
+`pipeline/o11y-label-cardinality.test.mjs` reads the limit from the config and fails
+when the reachable tuples cross it.
+Ingester memory grows with the streams that actually receive lines and the bytes
+pushed, not with the limit, and a stream costs kilobytes (labels, index entry, head
+block), so 20000 fits easily in the box's 4 GiB `standard-1` container.
+`packages/runtime/src/telemetry/attrs.ts#KNOWN_FRAMEWORKS` mirrors
+`config/frameworks.json`.
+
+Structured metadata only — never a Loki label, never an Analytics Engine index:
+`hot.demo_id`, `session.id` (an in-memory page-load id), `cf.ray`, `hot.kind` (the Faro item
+kind: `exception`, `log`, `event`, `measurement`).
+
+Diagnostic tags — flat, non-dotted, never a Loki label, never an Analytics Engine
+index, but hoisted to structured metadata alongside the dotted keys above (§6,
+`convert.ts#hoistAttributes`'s `STRUCTURED_KEY_SET`): `handled`, `context`,
+`sentry_event_id`, `versions_fetch_attempts`, `versions_fetch_outcome`,
+`versions_fetch_elapsed_bucket`, `versions_fetch_online`, `api_base_origin`,
+`net_effective_type`. Each is a boolean flag, an enum-like/bucketed value, an
+opaque platform id, or the reporting call site's own name — never user or
+request content.
+
+AE-only transport keys — never a Loki label, never structured metadata, never
+hoisted by `hoistAttributes` at all: `hot.bucket`, `hot.reason`, `hot.fingerprint`,
+`hot.metric_kind`, `hot.ref`, `hot.area`. Survive the same browser/ingest attribute
+allowlist as every key above (so the browser can transmit them at all), but exist
+only to carry an Analytics Engine column (§4/§5) through a Faro item's raw
+`context`/`attributes`, read directly from the wire body by
+`normalise/browser-attrs.ts#readAeOnlyAttrs` before `hoistAttributes` ever runs —
+for a metric such as `example.open` that is never written to the inbox or Loki at
+all (§6, ADR-0042).
+
+**Never sent to the o11y stack**: the user pseudonym, an email, an IP, a user-agent
+string, a query string or fragment, authored code (including Babel code frames), chat
+text, console output, `url.full`, geo or ASN attributes.
+
+One bounded exception, demo-runtime records (§6): a relayed preview message is sent
+only as its §7 fingerprint shape (`fingerprintShape`: code frame stripped; quoted
+strings, numbers, URLs, timestamps and keystroke-ladder identifiers replaced; ≤200
+chars), never raw, never with its stack or URL. Unquoted prose a demo itself passes to
+`new Error(…)` or `console.error(…)` survives that normalisation.
+
+## 4. Analytics Engine layout (`runner_events`)
+
+`index1` = metric name (the sampling key); queries filter on `index1` directly.
+
+| Slot | Column | Meaning |
+|---|---|---|
+| `index1` | `metric` | metric name (§5) |
+| `blob1` | `service_name` | §3 |
+| `blob2` | `service_version` | §3 |
+| `blob3` | `environment` | §3 |
+| `blob4` | `surface` | §3 |
+| `blob5` | `tier` | §3 |
+| `blob6` | `framework` | §3 |
+| `blob7` | `ht_major` | §3 |
+| `blob8` | `outcome` | §3, §5 |
+| `blob9` | `reason` | metric-specific qualifier (§5) |
+| `blob10` | `route_class` | API route class, e.g. `api/versions` |
+| `blob11` | `fingerprint` | §7 |
+| `blob12` | `demo_id` | demo id where the metric concerns one demo |
+| `blob13` | `model` | LLM model id |
+| `blob14` | `provider` | upstream or import provider |
+| `blob15` | `device` | `desktop`, `mobile`, `tablet` |
+| `blob16` | `bucket` | docs or starter bucket (`18.1`, `next`) |
+| `blob17` | `kind` | ADR-0042: `docs`, `starter`, `saved`, `import`, `payload` |
+| `blob18` | `ref` | ADR-0042: guide path or starter id |
+| `blob19` | `area` | ADR-0042: first breadcrumb element of a docs example |
+| `blob20` | — | unassigned |
+| `double1` | `count` | 1 per point unless pre-aggregated |
+| `double2` | `duration_ms` | latency |
+| `double3` | `value` | generic measurement (web-vital value, gauge level, seconds, percent) |
+| `double4` | `usd` | cost |
+| `double5` | `tokens_in` | LLM input tokens |
+| `double6` | `tokens_out` | LLM output tokens |
+| `double7` | `bytes` | payload or artifact size |
+| `double8` | `cap` | the limit a gauge is measured against |
+| `double9`–`double20` | — | unassigned |
+
+**Reading rule**: Analytics Engine samples at write and read time. Every count is
+`SUM(_sample_interval * double1)`, every percentile a weighted quantile, never `COUNT()`.
+Queries go through one helper that allowlists Analytics Engine's documented functions;
+the local ClickHouse shim accepts more.
+
+## 5. Metric registry
+
+Outcome values are the only strings allowed in `blob8` for that metric.
+
+| Metric | Emitted by | Blobs used | Doubles | Outcomes / reason |
+|---|---|---|---|---|

+
+`o11y.wake`'s `duration_ms` is wake-to-ready time — from the wake starting to the
+box's first successful `isReady()`, sourced from `wake:<wakeId>.readyMs` (§8) — on both
+the `clean` and `unclean` outcome. `duration_ms = 0` means the box never became ready
+during that wake, not a genuinely instant boot.
+
+The point's own **timestamp** is a different moment: it is written at
+**resolution** — the next `backlog()` call that runs `resolveWakes()` (§8) and finds this
+wake `over`, not when the wake itself started. Locally, with no cron firing, that can lag
+the actual wake by an hour or more; in production it lags by at most one `*/10` cron
+period. Two wakes resolved in the same `resolveWakes()` call get timestamps identical to
+the millisecond even though their wakes started at different times — expected, not a bug.
+
+`sandpack.compile_error` counts Tier-1 compile failures from
+both places they occur:
+- a bundler diagnostic (`show-error` with no frames — the module never evaluated);
+- the parcel pre-transpile's own babel parse failure (every starter except `vue-cli`).
+  That source never reaches the bundler and the last good render stays on screen, so
+  `SandpackRuntime` reports it from the transpile catch itself (`isTranspileFailure`):
+  at mount (a saved/shared/`?payload=` demo that does not parse — counted at once), and
+  on the edit path for the newest push only.
+
+The signal is the transpile catch, never the message shape: a runtime `SyntaxError`
+(`JSON.parse`, `new Function`) is relayed by the preview like any other throw and stays
+`preview.runtime_error`. Compile errors go through the same edit-burst collapse as
+`preview.runtime_error` (below), keyed by kind, so a burst counts at most one — from its
+final state. A compile failure of the burst's newest edit also **replaces the run**: the
+preview never ran that code, so what it relays for the rest of the burst (a
+keystroke-prefix rung still in flight, a re-render warning) is from code already typed
+past and is dropped. One typed broken line = one `sandpack.compile_error`, no
+`preview.runtime_error`. The next edit re-arms runtime reports. No error card and no
+Sentry capture is added for the edit-path failure; the mount-path Sentry capture
+(`Tier1CompileError`) is unchanged.
+
+`preview.runtime_error` counts broken preview states, not relays. Reason `console` is a
+`console.error`; a console warning is not counted (§6). The preview
+re-runs on every keystroke, so one typed line relays a whole keystroke-prefix ladder
+(`s is not defined`, `se is not defined`, …, then the line's real error). The browser
+collapses it (`apps/authoring/src/demoEventCollapse.ts`) before the facade:
+- an edit that re-runs the preview (a non-quiet workspace write, a file add, delete or
+  rename) opens or extends a burst, and discards what the previous run reported;
+- on Tier 1, an edit whose transpiled sandbox matches the running one (a closing `;`,
+  whitespace, a trailing comma) re-runs nothing, so the burst ends with the running
+  sandbox's reports that have not been counted yet. If the bundler rejected that
+  sandbox (a frameless `show-error`), its `sandpack.compile_error` is that result and
+  replaces the run; a pre-transpile failure never ran, so it is not the running
+  sandbox's;
+- on Tier 1, the bundler runs one compile at a time, so a run's reports can still arrive
+  after the next edit has been dispatched. A new run starts at the bundler's `start`
+  message for a pushed compile (`onPushOutcome("rerun")`), not at dispatch, and what the burst held until
+  then came from the run it replaces and is dropped. A pre-transpile failure of the
+  newest edit is kept, because no run of that edit will start. A run that never starts
+  (a stalled or unreachable bundler) drops nothing, and the burst closes on its quiet
+  window as usual;
+- 2 s (`DEMO_EDIT_SETTLE_MS`) after the last edit the burst closes, and the last run's
+  reports are emitted, one per §7 fingerprint;
+- outside a burst (first load, a user interaction, a Tier-2 rebuild that reports after
+  the burst closed) a report is emitted at once;
+- a fingerprint counts once until the next edit or preview mount, and at most 50
+  (`DEMO_COLLAPSE_CEILING`) points per page load.
+An async report of the previous run (a timer, a rejected promise, a failed request) that
+fires after the next run started can still add one point. On Tier 2, where a rebuild
+outlasts the 2 s window, a superseded rebuild's report can land after the burst closed
+and count on its own. The Sentry side is not behind this collapse; its relay budgets are
+unchanged.
+
+`example.saved` is written by the API worker when an editor Save (`PATCH /api/demos/:id`
+with `files`) finishes its rebuild, because the rebuild can outlast the visitor's stay on
+the page. It carries the same values the browser's other `example.*` events do for a saved
+demo: `kind=saved`, `ref` = the demo id, `framework` = the demo row's, and `ht_major` = the
+body's `exampleHtMajor`, which is the major the editor opened the demo at. `area` and
+`bucket` stay empty. `blob1`/`blob2` name `demos-api`.
+
+What gates the count is a successful rebuild whose request carries a valid
+`exampleHtMajor` (one of §3's `ht_major` values), whoever sends it. The editor sends the
+field only while its own telemetry gate is open (§10). The rebuild and the point are
+registered with `ctx.waitUntil`, so a client disconnect within the 30 s grace does not
+cancel them. Every rebuild response carries `exampleSaved` (whether the point was
+written). The editor emits the browser `example.saved` only when a response lacks that
+key, i.e. an API that does not count saves; that fallback can be removed once every
+deployed API sends the marker.
+
+A build that fails on the demo's own input is client input (`isUserBuildError` in
+`workers/api/src/share.ts`), on any route that builds inline: `POST /api/demos`, `PATCH
+/api/demos/:id`, `POST /api/mcp/demos` and `PATCH /api/mcp/demos/:id`. That means one of:
+- the build command exited with a code from 1 to 125;
+- the install failed with `ERR_PNPM_NO_MATCHING_VERSION`, `ERR_PNPM_FETCH_404`,
+  `ERR_PNPM_SPEC_NOT_SUPPORTED_BY_ANY_RESOLVER` or `ERR_PNPM_BAD_PM_VERSION` (a
+  dependency the author named).
+
+It answers `422 {"error":"<phase> failed: <detail>","code":"build_failed","detail":<the
+build error, one line>}`. `error` carries the diagnostic because MCP clients read only
+that field; the editor keys on `code`. `api.request` records it as `4xx`, so `api-5xx-rate`
+does not count it. `snapshot.build` still records `failed`, and the
+`snapshot-build-failed-rate` alert is the backstop: it fires when one framework has more
+than 50 % failed builds over 30 min with at least 10 failed. The stored demo is
+unchanged, because the build runs before anything is written.
+
+Everything else stays `5xx`: exit code 126, 127 or 128 and above (not executable, not
+found, killed by a signal), a result without an exit code, any other install failure
+(`ERR_PNPM_FETCH_5xx`, a reset or timed-out connection), and any other throw. So does
+any failure whose output names infrastructure, whatever the exit code: `ENOTFOUND`,
+`ECONNRESET`, `ETIMEDOUT`, `EAI_AGAIN`, `fetch failed`, `Failed to fetch`, `heap out of
+memory`, `signal SIGKILL`, `worker exited`, and Next's `` `next/font` error `` or a
+`fonts.googleapis.com` fetch. This last rule is a match on message text: a tool that
+rewords these lines moves its failure into the 422 class.
+
+`serve.share` locally: under `vite dev` (what `pnpm dev:full` serves), React
+StrictMode runs the share page's load effect twice, so one `/share/<id>` view gives 2
+points. A production build gives 1 (measured on `vite preview`).
+
+`payload.boot` records the Theme Builder hand-off at both ends:
+- `ok` and `error` at `POST /api/payload`, when the link is minted;
+- `error` (`framework=other`) at the playground boot, `GET /api/payload/:id`, when the
+  link cannot boot: a miss (expired or never minted), a malformed id, or a KV failure.
+  A link that boots adds no point, so each hand-off counts one `ok` at most.
+
+The server-side `error` point is the record of a `?payload=` boot that failed. The
+browser shows the "expired" message for the 404 without reporting it. `error.handled
+context=payload-boot` is only the browser failing to reach the API at all (a network
+error), which the server never sees.
+
+## 6. Browser facade and Faro
+
+The app never calls Faro directly; it calls one facade, implemented with Faro:
+
+```ts
+interface Telemetry {
+  metric(name: MetricName, values: { duration_ms?: number; value?: number; count?: number }, attrs: HotAttrs): void;
+  event(name: EventName, attrs: HotAttrs & Record<string, string>): void;
+  error(err: unknown, context: string, attrs?: HotAttrs): void; // handled errors
+  pageLoadId(): string; // minted in memory at page load
+}
+```
+
+Faro configuration: session tracking disabled; only the errors and web-vitals
+instrumentations; no `user` meta; the facade sets `session.id` = page-load id on every
+item; transport to same-origin `/telemetry/collect`; `beforeSend` = `scrubTelemetry` then
+the shared noise gates.
+
+Faro's global `dedupe` stays on for `pushError`: consecutive identical
+exceptions (same type, message, stack, context) collapse to one item, with no time
+window. So `error.uncaught`/`error.handled` counts — including the dashboard panels
+built on them — are **reports**, not occurrences: a burst of identical errors counts as
+one. Sentry, not this pipeline, is the occurrence counter (ADR §F.3).
+
+What the o11y worker does with each Faro item at ingest:
+
+| Faro item | Analytics Engine | Inbox (Loki `browser` tenant) |
+|---|---|---|
+| measurement whose `type` is a browser metric in §5 | one point | **none** |
+| `web-vitals` measurement | one `web_vital` point per vital | **none** |
+| exception with `context.handled = "true"` | `error.handled` | one log record, symbolicated at drain |
+| other exception | `error.uncaught` | one log record, symbolicated at drain |
+| event named `example.*` | one point | **none** |
+| other event, log | — | one log record |
+
+**Demo-runtime records.** Each report that survives the collapse (§5)
+is also one handled Faro exception, through `Telemetry.error` with context
+`demo-runtime`. Its `type` is `DemoError`, `DemoUnhandledRejection`, `DemoConsoleError`,
+`DemoNetworkError` or `DemoStderr`. Its value is the §7 fingerprint shape (§3). It has
+no stack, and the §3 labels include `hot.surface = demo-runtime`. At ingest it becomes
+an `error.handled` point (surface `demo-runtime`, never feeding the new-fingerprint
+alert) and one Loki line, which the "Recent demo-runtime errors" panels read with
+`{hot_surface="demo-runtime"} | hot_kind="exception"`. A `console-warn` report is
+neither counted nor recorded: a warning is context, not a fault (DEV-2539), and
+Handsontable's own load-time notices would otherwise count on every preview load. Faro's
+`pushError` dedupe applies, so an identical record in two consecutive bursts is sent
+once. The `preview.runtime_error` metric, not the line count, is the counter.
+
+A Faro measurement or web-vitals item (this table's scope — the item
+kinds `normalise/faro.ts` handles) is AE-only; Loki holds logs, events and exceptions.
+This was a contract/ADR mismatch, not an implementation bug — ADR §F.1 ("Counts and
+latencies go to Analytics Engine; Loki holds the text") already said this; requiring a
+stored record for every measurement too would make measurements
+~99% of the browser Loki tenant's lines and drained bytes for no reader:
+no dashboard panel parses a measurement's `{"duration_ms":N}`-shaped body, so the AE
+point was always the only consumer. A measurement/web-vitals item still gets a
+hash-only `ingestItem` (no `record`) so a retried/redelivered batch cannot double-write
+its Analytics Engine point — the same dedupe-only shape an `example.*` event already
+used above.
+
+**Scope note, not yet fixed**: §9's lite-beacon path (`workers/o11y/src/lite.ts`,
+`POST /telemetry/lite`) is a separate converter and still stores a vital beacon's record
+today (the triage's own `LCP=172` inbox-record example) — this ruling was not extended
+there. A future consistency pass may want to.
+
+## 7. Fingerprint
+
+`fingerprint(context, message)` = `<context>:<16 hex chars of FNV-1a 64 over the
+normalised message>`, synchronous and identical in browser and Worker; the normalisation
+is `normalizeMonitorMessage` plus `stripCodeFrame`. For `hot.surface = demo-runtime`,
+keystroke-ladder shapes (`"<identifier> is not defined"` and similar) collapse to one
+fingerprint per shape. Demo-runtime fingerprints never feed the new-fingerprint alert.
+
+`context` is caller-chosen (typically `hot.surface` or a metric name) and MAY itself
+contain further `:`-separated segments, e.g. `docs-example-load:fetch` or
+`npm-registry:version-exists` — a call-site path, not always a single flat token. A
+client-supplied fingerprint (Faro's own `payload.fingerprint` wire field, or
+`context["hot.fingerprint"]`) is trusted only when it passes the ONE shared validator
+(`isValidFingerprint`, `packages/runtime/src/telemetry/fingerprint.ts` — also used by
+`normalise/faro.ts`'s `resolveFingerprint` and `normalise/otlp.ts`'s
+`apiFingerprintFeed`, never a second, independently drifting copy of the shape):
+anchor on the LAST `:`, followed by exactly 16 lowercase hex characters, with zero or
+more earlier `:`-separated segments in `context`, each drawn from `[a-z][a-z0-9._-]*`;
+the whole `context` half is capped at 128 characters. A value that does not match is
+discarded, never stored or forwarded to Slack verbatim.
+
+## 8. Inbox
+
+Normalised records are OTLP JSON log records (`resourceLogs` shape), one tenant per
+object:
+
+```text
+inbox/<tenant>/<yyyy-mm-dd>/<hh>/<seq:012d>.ndjson.gz     # inbox bucket; tenant = browser | worker
+state/wakes/<wakeId>/clean                                # Loki bucket; written by the box on a clean stop
+```
+
+`<seq>` is a counter in `InboxWriter` storage, incremented in the transaction that
+records the key. Each NDJSON line is one OTLP `ResourceLogs` object. The arrival time is
+**not** part of the record (it would break dedupe); it lives on the storage row. The
+dedupe hash is computed over the decoded, scrubbed record before timestamps are stamped.
+
+`InboxWriter` storage:
+
+| Key | Value |
+|---|---|
+| `seq` | last issued sequence |
+| `row:<n:012d>` | pending records with their arrival time, ≤ 1 MB per row. `<n>` is zero-padded to 12 digits so native ascending key order equals arrival order (`pack.ts#collectRowBatch`) |
+| `key:<inbox key>` | `written` \| `provisional:<wakeId>` \| `rejected:<reason>` — **never `committed`** (see `done:`, below) |
+| `done:<inbox key>` | `1` — a **committed** key, moved OUT of `key:` on commit (same write that deletes `key:<inbox key>`) |
+| `hash:<yyyymmdd>:<sha256>` | first-seen epoch ms; 24 h window, checked across the current and previous UTC-day bucket |
+| `fp:<fingerprint>` | first-seen epoch ms (exact registry for the new-fingerprint alert) |
+| `fpts:<firstSeenMs:015d>:<fingerprint>` | same first-seen epoch ms as its `fp:` twin — a time-ordered secondary index (G1 fix round, B-C1/A-I1 remainder) so the new-fingerprint alert can do a bounded `start`/`end` range read instead of listing the whole (alphabetically, not chronologically, ordered) `fp:` prefix every tick. Written/deleted together with its `fp:` twin, always |
+| `alert:<rule>` | `{ state: firing \| resolved, since, lastNotified }` |
+| `alertMeta:newFingerprintCursorKey` / `alertMeta:newFingerprintAnnouncedKeys` | the new-fingerprint alert's keyset cursor (an `fpts:` key) and a JSON array of the `fpts:` keys it already announced past that cursor. The cursor lags 2 minutes behind the tick, so the next tick reads recent entries again; the announced set makes sure each fingerprint is announced exactly once (F35) |
+| `wake:<wakeId>` | `{ startedAt, reason, over: boolean, readyMs? }` — over when a newer wake started or the container is not running; **deleted once fully resolved** (see below). `readyMs` (F8) is wake-to-ready time in ms, written once by `InboxWriterApi.recordWakeReady(wakeId, readyMs)` — called by `GrafanaBox` on the wake's first successful `isReady()`, first call wins, a no-op for an already-resolved (deleted) wake — and copied onto the resolved `o11y.wake` point as `duration_ms` (§5); absent while the box has not yet become ready |
+| `rejectedEvent:<ms:015d>:<inbox key>` | rejection reason (string) — a chronological audit/alert log (G1 fix round, row 19 / B-C1/A-I1 remainder), written by both a full rejection (`ledger.ts#rejectKey`) and a **partial** one (`ledger.ts#recordPartialReject`, see below). The `rejected-inbox-key` alert fires on a RECENT (last hour) count here, not on `rejectedKeyCount()`'s never-pruned total, so it resolves once rejections stop instead of firing forever after the first one ever seen |
+| `drainsPaused` | boolean (o11y spend cap). Set on every alert tick from the `o11y-spend-cap` result, so it follows the runtime budget override. The cron decides its backlog wake only after the alerts ran (F37). While it is set, the cron never wakes the box for the backlog, and `GrafanaBox.drainStep` pushes nothing, whatever woke the box. A visit wake still starts the box and serves Grafana (ADR §G) |
+| `heartbeat` | `{ lastCron, lastIngest }` |
+
+Limits: records over 256 KB are dropped; requests to Loki carry at most 1 MB
+decompressed. Every free-text string (Faro/OTLP body,
+message, attribute value) is truncated to this same 256 KB before any scrub/redact
+regex runs over it (`SCRUB_TEXT_MAX_CHARS`, `packages/runtime/src/telemetry/scrub.ts`)
+— a ReDoS defense-in-depth independent of each pattern also being made linear-time.
+The fingerprint normaliser (`normalizeMonitorMessage`, §7) is bounded separately, to a
+much smaller 4096 chars, since its own output is always sliced to 200 chars regardless.
+
+The pre-scrub truncation above shares the same 256 KB limit as the
+record-size drop, so a field that actually gets truncated still leaves the record over
+the drop cap — an oversize record is genuinely **dropped**, never truncated down to fit.
+Only the inbox/Loki record and its first-seen `fp:` entry are lost this way; the item's
+Analytics Engine point (e.g. `error.uncaught`/`error.handled`) is still written — dropping
+is a size decision at the inbox/Loki layer only, not an ingest-wide refusal.
+
+**Bounded storage** (the resolve/drain/backlog paths must never scan committed history):
+- A `key:` entry only ever holds a **live** state (`written`, `provisional:<wakeId>`, or
+  a genuine `rejected:<reason>`). The moment a key is confirmed clean-committed, its
+  `key:<inbox key>` entry is deleted and a `done:<inbox key>` marker takes its place in
+  the same write — `key:` therefore never grows with committed history, only with what is
+  currently open or in flight. `done:` entries are pruned once their embedded date is
+  older than the 7-day inbox-object retention (the ten-minute cron path, via
+  `InboxWriter.backlog()`), using a bounded `start`/`end` range delete (`done:inbox/<tenant>/`
+  through the cutoff date), never a full-prefix scan.
+- A `wake:<wakeId>` entry is deleted as soon as `resolveOverWakes` fully resolves it (every
+  provisional key under it moved to `written` or `done:`) — not merely flagged. The
+  `wake:` prefix therefore only ever holds the (at most one) currently-active wake plus
+  any wake whose resolution crashed mid-way, never all-time history.
+- `hash:` is bucketed by UTC calendar day (`hash:<yyyymmdd>:<sha256>`) instead of one flat
+  set; a dedupe check reads exactly the current and previous day's buckets (the 24 h window
+  can never span more than those two), and stale buckets (2+ days old) are pruned with a
+  bounded range delete on the same cron path.
+- `fp:` keeps its flat shape (nothing reads it by date range), but is swept by a bounded,
+  cursor-paginated TTL prune (default 90 days) on the same cron path, so it does not grow
+  forever either.
+- `POST /grafana/_o11y/reopen`'s window WIDTH (`toMs - fromMs`) is capped to the same
+  7-day retention (`ledger.ts#reopenWindowExceedsRetention`) — a wider request is
+  refused up front. This does not require the window itself to be recent: a `[from, to)`
+  pair from long ago, 7 days wide or narrower, is accepted too, it just finds nothing to
+  reopen, since `done:`/`hash:` past the retention window are already pruned (Loki's own
+  `reject_old_samples_max_age` is 7d too). The route also accepts a request whose
+  `content-type` merely contains `application/json` as a parameter (e.g. with a charset),
+  not only an exact match — still enough to force a CORS preflight for any cross-origin
+  caller (the CSRF hardening this exists for).
+- A manual reopen of a **committed** key reads `done:`, moves it back to `key:<inbox
+  key> = written`, and deletes the `done:` entry.
+
+**Additional bounded-storage invariants:**
+- **Pack alarm, bounded.** The alarm pages `row:` in small chunks rather than loading
+  every pending row into memory before packing, accumulating up to one packed object's
+  own ~4 MB budget per round, looping until the backlog is drained or
+  `MAX_OBJECTS_PER_ALARM` (25) objects have been packed this invocation. See
+  `pack.ts#collectRowBatch`.
+- **DO storage 128-key batch limit.** Cloudflare's SQLite-backed Durable Object
+  storage API caps `get`/`put`/`delete` at 128 keys/pairs per call
+  (<https://developers.cloudflare.com/durable-objects/api/storage-api/>, fetched
+  2026-09-24: "Supports up to 128 keys at a time" / "up to 128 key-value pairs at a
+  time"). Every multi-key call in `InboxWriter` chunks through `storage.ts`'s
+  `getManyChunked`/`putChunked`/`deleteChunked` — `checkDuplicates`, `newFingerprintWrites`,
+  `pruneLedger`/`pruneHashBuckets`/`pruneFingerprintRegistry`, `finalizeWakeResolution`,
+  `markKeysProvisional`, `reopenWindow`, `commitPackedObject`, and `ingest`'s own
+  transaction `put`. `finalizeWakeResolution`/`reopenWindow` run their whole put+delete
+  sequence inside one `storage.transaction()` — chunking alone, without that, would let
+  a crash between chunks leave a partial write.
+- **Prune throughput.** `hash:`/`done:` prune batch sizes are 5,000 rows/tick (still
+  chunked to 128 per actual `delete()` call) — ADR §D's own 10× headroom projects
+  ~220,000 worker records/day, which 500/tick × 144 ten-minute ticks/day (72,000/day)
+  falls behind at roughly 3× today's traffic. `rejected:` `key:` entries are pruned too,
+  past the same 7-day retention (filtered by value, since `key:` mixes live and rejected
+  states chronologically — see `ledger.ts#pruneLedger`).
+- **Drain partial-400 durability.** A key with at least one chunk
+  accepted (2xx) and at least one chunk permanently rejected (400) now stays
+  `provisional` (not `rejected`) — its accepted content follows the normal
+  written→provisional→committed path, so an unclean stop before Loki's local flush
+  still triggers an automatic replay instead of being silently unrecoverable except by
+  manual reopen. Only a key with ZERO accepted chunks stays `rejected`. See
+  `drain.ts#drainKey`'s own doc comment.
+- **Drain refusals.** A `429` whose body names Loki's stream limit (`Maximum active
+  stream limit exceeded`) is never retried (a retry can answer 204 with the excess
+  streams dropped) and never rejects: the table may have been filled by earlier keys,
+  so that key is deferred and stays `written`, with no `rejectedEvent`. Its tenant is
+  then excluded for the rest of the wake (`streamLimitedTenants` in the box's storage;
+  `nextWrittenKeys` pages past it), so the batch fills with the other tenant's keys, and
+  one `o11y.drain.stream_limit` warning line names the tenant and Loki's message. Any
+  other `429`, and a `5xx`, stays transient and stops the batch. An inbox read that
+  throws defers only that key; the rest of the batch still pushes and commits. A batch
+  of only deferred keys ends the wake's drain once no un-excluded tenant has keys left.
+- **Symbolication read caps.** One inbox object reads at most 32 distinct maps
+  (`MAX_MAP_KEYS_PER_CALL`, first-seen order), one body adds at most 8 of them
+  (`MAX_NEW_MAP_KEYS_PER_BODY`), and at most 128 frames are looked up per body
+  (`MAX_FRAMES_PER_BODY`), so a drain step of 10 objects stays at a few hundred of the
+  Workers limit of 10,000 subrequests. Frames past a cap stay byte-for-byte and are
+  reported as `o11y.symbolicate.skip` with reason `over_cap`, plus one aggregate
+  `over_cap` line with the call's capped `frames` and `keys` that `MAX_SKIP_REPORTS`
+  never suppresses.
+
+## 9. Lite beacon payload
+
+`POST /telemetry/lite`, a JSON body, **≤ 2 KB**, sent with `navigator.sendBeacon(url, json)` —
+a plain string, not a `Blob`, so the browser sends its own default
+`Content-Type: text/plain;charset=UTF-8`, never `application/json` (the
+route itself does not check or require a content type either way, so this is a fact about
+what ships on the wire, not a gate). The body itself is still JSON:

+## 10. Local mode
+
+| Piece | Local stand-in |
+|---|---|
+| `RUNNER_EVENTS` | ClickHouse at `http://localhost:8123`, table `runner_events` with the §4 columns plus `timestamp` and `_sample_interval` (always 1), DDL in `containers/o11y/local/clickhouse-init.sql` |
+| Loki S3 | Miniflare's local S3 endpoint for R2, or MinIO from `containers/o11y/compose.yml` |
+| Grafana session (K1) | `DEV_ADMIN` in `workers/o11y/.dev.vars`; a real broker login also works locally (`LOGIN_BROKER_URL` defaults to the production broker) |
+| Cloudflare OTLP export | fixtures in `pipeline/fixtures/otlp/` (scrubbed sandbox-probe captures plus hand-built edge cases), replayed by `scripts/o11y-replay-fixtures.mjs` |
+| Slack | `scripts/o11y-slack-capture.mjs`, a local HTTP capture server started by `pnpm dev:full` (NOT by `pnpm o11y:dev`, which doesn't start it — point `SLACK_WEBHOOK_URL` at your own instance if you need one from the standalone o11y-only command); prints and keeps the last 50 posts, `GET /_captured` to inspect |
+
+`deployment.environment.name = local`; the production o11y worker drops `local` data.
+
+**Local telemetry gate in the browser.** Faro runs on the local path only when the build
+was made with `VITE_TELEMETRY_LOCAL=1` **and** the host is `localhost` or `127.0.0.1`. It
+checks neither `import.meta.env.DEV` nor `navigator.webdriver`, because Playwright serves
+a production `vite preview` under automation. The production gate (`resolveReporting`)
+is unchanged and stays closed under automation. A production build never sets the flag,
+and the post-build leak check fails if the local path survives into it.
+
+## 11. Sentry scope
+
+`SENTRY_SCOPE` / `VITE_SENTRY_SCOPE` = `full` (default): handled diagnostic reports go to
+Sentry **and** the new stack. `uncaught`: they go only to the new stack; Sentry keeps
+errors that escape a handler (browser `onerror`, `unhandledrejection`,
+`Sentry.ErrorBoundary`; Worker fetch catch-all, DO alarms, cron, snapshot-job failures)
+and the budget-alert `captureMessage`. The launch plan flips to `uncaught` after the
+pipeline is seen working in production.

-Migrations are listed one file at a time on purpose. Do **not** substitute
-`wrangler d1 migrations apply --local`: local bookkeeping starts empty, so an
-apply re-runs every file, and `0003_cost_ledger.sql` ends in a bare
-`ALTER TABLE demos ADD COLUMN artifacts_purged_at` with no `IF NOT EXISTS` —
-which fails the second time. (Remote is a different story: CI has applied
-migrations through the framework since before `0003` landed, so its bookkeeping
-is populated and `deploy-runner-api.yml` applies new files automatically.)
-
-`.dev.vars` and `.env.local` are gitignored dev-only bypasses — never used in prod.
-`PREVIEW_HOST="localhost:8787"` overrides the `wrangler.jsonc` default
-(`demos.handsontable.com`, a real public wildcard that routes to the *deployed*
-worker) so container preview URLs come out as `*.localhost:8787`, which browsers
-treat as `127.0.0.1` (RFC 6761) and reach your local `wrangler dev`. It must be a
-real host value — wrangler silently ignores empty-string `.dev.vars` overrides.
-Without it, Tier-2/container sessions boot fine but the preview iframe fails with
-`INVALID_TOKEN` — the token is only known to your local session, not to prod.
-
-This only works because `wrangler.jsonc` declares **no `routes`**: when routes
-are present, `wrangler dev` simulates the first route's host on every request,
-destroying the preview subdomain before `proxyToSandbox()` can route on it.
-That's why the production routes live in the `deploy` script instead — don't
-move them back into `wrangler.jsonc`.
+`node scripts/dev.mjs --help` prints the full option list. All three need
+Docker running for anything past Tier 1 — `dev:live`/`dev:full` fail fast
+with a clear message (not a hung/opaque container-build error) if
+`docker info` doesn't succeed. Ctrl-C (also SIGTERM, or SIGHUP from closing
+the terminal) tears down every spawned `wrangler`/`vite`/capture-server
+process and (for `dev:full`) runs `docker compose ... down` for the
+minio/clickhouse stack this run itself started. It does **not** guarantee no
+orphaned Tier-2 Sandbox containers — see "What Ctrl-C actually cleans up"
+below for why, and for what it prints instead.
+
+**Container base-image pre-pull.** Before starting any worker, `dev:live`/
+`dev:full` read every `FROM` base image the tier's Dockerfiles declare
+(`containers/live/Dockerfile` + `containers/builder/Dockerfile` for the API
+worker, plus `containers/o11y/Dockerfile` for `dev:full`'s o11y worker —
+looked up from each worker's own `wrangler.jsonc` `containers[].image`, not
+hardcoded), runs `docker image inspect` on each, and `docker pull`s (3
+attempts, with backoff) any that's missing, printing `[images]` progress
+lines. This is what `wrangler dev`'s own container build otherwise skips
+silently: without it, a missing base image (e.g. a Docker Hub timeout
+pulling `cloudflare/sandbox:0.12.3`) can leave `wrangler dev` running with a
+broken container build, surfacing only later as an opaque Tier-2
+session-start failure. If a pull still fails after every retry, `dev.mjs`
+prints which image, the Docker error's last line, and the exact
+`docker pull ...` command to retry by hand, then exits before starting any
+worker. Pass `--skip-image-check` to skip this check entirely (e.g. offline,
+with the images already built locally).
+
+Every port is overridable by env var, defaulting to what's below; two
+workers under `wrangler dev` always get their own, distinct `--port` and
+`--inspector-port` so two dev sessions on the same machine never collide on
+wrangler's inspector default (9229):
+
+| Var | Default | Used by |
+|---|---|---|
+| `AUTHORING_DEV_PORT` | 5173 | the authoring app (`vite`) — every tier |
+| `API_DEV_PORT` | 8787 | the API worker (`wrangler dev`) — tier 2, full |
+| `API_DEV_INSPECTOR_PORT` | 9230 | the API worker's inspector — tier 2, full |
+| `O11Y_DEV_PORT` | 4200 | the o11y worker (`wrangler dev`) — tier full, `o11y:dev` |
+| `O11Y_DEV_INSPECTOR_PORT` | 4201 | the o11y worker's inspector — tier full, `o11y:dev` |
+| `O11Y_MINIO_PORT` | 9000 | compose's MinIO (Loki S3 stand-in) — tier full |
+| `O11Y_MINIO_CONSOLE_PORT` | 9001 | compose's MinIO console — tier full |
+| `O11Y_CLICKHOUSE_PORT` | 8123 | compose's ClickHouse HTTP (Analytics Engine stand-in) — tier full |
+| `O11Y_CLICKHOUSE_NATIVE_PORT` | 9009 | compose's ClickHouse native protocol — tier full |
+| `O11Y_SLACK_CAPTURE_PORT` | 4210 | the local Slack capture server — tier full |
+
+Plus `COMPOSE_PROJECT_NAME` (tier full's `docker compose` project; default is
+derived PER WORKTREE — `o11y-dev-<hash of this worktree's absolute path>`,
+via `scripts/dev-lib.mjs`'s `defaultComposeProjectName()` — so two worktrees
+running `pnpm dev:full` never resolve to the same compose project, containers
+or named volumes; set `COMPOSE_PROJECT_NAME` explicitly to still share one
+on purpose) and `WRANGLER_REGISTRY_PATH` (forwarded as-is to every spawned
+`wrangler dev`, for isolating one worktree's service-binding registry from
+another's — several worktrees on this machine routinely run `wrangler dev`
+at once, and without this, one worktree's API/o11y service binding can
+resolve to another worktree's Worker instead of its own).
+
+If you already ran `pnpm dev:full` before this per-worktree default existed,
+your MinIO/ClickHouse named volumes were under the old shared `o11y-dev`
+project; docker does not rename them — your next run starts this worktree's
+new derived project on fresh, empty volumes instead, and the old
+`o11y-dev_minio-data`/`o11y-dev_clickhouse-data` are left orphaned. If
+`workers/o11y/.wrangler/state`'s ledger has committed keys from before (the
+usual case), that first run also prints the "committed key(s) ... but this
+project's MinIO volume doesn't exist" divergence warning — `--fresh`'s own
+advice there is the right fix (wipes the o11y worker state so the ledger
+agrees with the new, empty volumes again). To reclaim the old volumes'
+disk space instead of leaving them orphaned, remove them explicitly by the
+old project name: `docker compose -p o11y-dev -f containers/o11y/compose.yml
+down -v`.
+
+**`.dev.vars` bootstrap.** `workers/api/.dev.vars.example` and
+`workers/o11y/.dev.vars.example` are committed, non-secret templates.
+`dev.mjs`/`o11y-dev.mjs` copy either one to its gitignored `.dev.vars`
+**only when `.dev.vars` doesn't already exist** — an existing file (your own
+edits, real secret values) is never touched. On a *fresh* o11y bootstrap
+only, a few known-inert local placeholders are filled in with real,
+non-secret working values (matching `containers/o11y/compose.yml`'s own
+documented local defaults): `DEV_ADMIN=dev@handsontable.com` (the local
+session bypass, contract §10, `workers/o11y/src/gates/session.ts#verifySession`
+— honoured only when `O11Y_ENV === "local"`, fail-closed everywhere else),
+`AE_SQL_TOKEN=local-dev-token`, `LOKI_S3_ACCESS_KEY_ID`/
+`LOKI_S3_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=minioadmin` (MinIO's own default root
+credential), and `SLACK_WEBHOOK_URL` pointed at the local capture server
+(`http://localhost:4210/slack` by default).
+
+`O11Y_EXPORT_SECRET` and `SENTRY_HOOK_SECRET` are filled
+in separately, on **every** `dev.mjs --tier=full` run, not only a fresh
+bootstrap: whichever of the two lines is still declared empty gets a fresh,
+local-only random value (`ephemeralSecret()` — a 32-byte hex string, the same
+kind of value `O11Y_SESSION_SECRET` already uses, never a pasted-in
+production credential), written into `.dev.vars` and left alone on every
+later run once filled. This is what makes `node scripts/o11y-replay-fixtures.mjs`
+work locally without any manual setup: it reads both secrets from the
+environment first, then falls back to reading them straight out of
+`workers/o11y/.dev.vars`, so both the standalone command above and
+`dev.mjs --tier=full --replay` succeed instead of 401ing on the OTLP/deploy/
+Sentry fixtures. Only the two key NAMES are ever printed to `dev.mjs`'s own
+log — never the generated value. A `.dev.vars` you already pasted a real
+value into is never touched (only an empty declared line is filled).
+
+**Why not just `--var`?** Wrangler's `.dev.vars` always wins over a
+same-named `--var`, even when the `.dev.vars` line is empty (confirmed
+against wrangler 4.108's `getVarsForDev`) — so for a key `.dev.vars.example`
+already declares, `dev.mjs` bakes the working value into the bootstrapped
+file instead of passing `--var` (which would be silently ignored). If a
+`.dev.vars` value's port (`PREVIEW_HOST`, `SLACK_WEBHOOK_URL`) disagrees with
+what this run actually resolved, and the corresponding port env var
+(`API_DEV_PORT`, `O11Y_SLACK_CAPTURE_PORT`) was **not** explicitly set for
+this run, `dev.mjs` **adopts** the `.dev.vars` port instead — `.dev.vars`
+was always going to win for that key, so this makes the worker's own
+`--port`, the vite proxy target, and the printed URLs agree with reality
+instead of silently pointing at the wrong port. Only when the port env var
+**was** explicitly set and disagrees does it warn instead, naming the file
+to edit — an explicit choice is never silently overridden. For a genuinely
+per-run secret (`O11Y_SESSION_SECRET`, the Grafana session-cookie signing
+key — see the o11y auth runbook step for the deployed equivalent), the
+bootstrap strips that line from a *freshly created* `.dev.vars` instead, so
+the key stays undeclared and `dev.mjs`'s own ephemeral `--var` (a fresh
+random value every run, never written to disk) is the only source.
+
+**o11y worker local-mode config (contract §10).** `dev:full`/`o11y:dev` run
+the o11y worker with `O11Y_ENV` set to `local` (bootstrapped in
+`.dev.vars`), which is what turns on `DEV_ADMIN` (the local session bypass —
+`workers/o11y/src/gates/session.ts#verifySession`) and every
+`O11Y_LOCAL_*`-prefixed override below. `dev.mjs` injects the rest as
+`--var` (never `.dev.vars` — none of these are declared there, so there's no
+precedence conflict to work around): `RUNNER_EVENTS_CLICKHOUSE_URL` (points
+the Analytics Engine stand-in sink at compose's ClickHouse —
+`O11Y_CLICKHOUSE_PORT`), `O11Y_LOCAL_MINIO_PORT`/`O11Y_LOCAL_CLICKHOUSE_PORT`
+(how the box's own container, reached via Docker's `host.docker.internal`,
+finds compose's MinIO/ClickHouse), and `O11Y_LOCAL_PUBLIC_ORIGIN` — the
+origin `gates/session.ts#publicOrigin` builds the broker login's
+`return_to` against and binds every locally-minted session token's `aud`
+claim to; `dev.mjs` always sets it to `http://localhost:<O11Y_DEV_PORT>`
+(Grafana is served from the o11y worker's own origin, not proxied through
+the authoring app), which matters once you override `O11Y_DEV_PORT` away
+from its default — `publicOrigin`'s own built-in fallback assumes the
+default port.
+
+**Migrations.** `dev.mjs` applies every `workers/api/migrations/NNNN_*.sql`
+file (currently `0001` through `0008`) one `wrangler d1 execute --local
+--file=` call at a time — never `wrangler d1 migrations apply --local`,
+because local bookkeeping starts empty and `0003_cost_ledger.sql` ends in a
+bare `ALTER TABLE demos ADD COLUMN artifacts_purged_at` with no
+`IF NOT EXISTS`, which fails the second time an apply re-runs it. Unlike the
+old by-hand recipe, this is now **idempotent**: `dev.mjs` records each
+applied file in `workers/api/.wrangler/state/dev-migrations-applied.json`
+(gitignored, next to the local D1 state itself — wiping one wipes the
+other) and only applies files not yet in that record, so a second run of
+`pnpm dev:live`/`dev:full` applies nothing. (Remote is a different story: CI
+has applied migrations through the framework since before `0003` landed, so
+its bookkeeping is populated and `master.yml`'s `deploy-api` job applies new
+files automatically.)
+
+**Adopting a local D1 with no record.** A local D1 migrated before this
+record existed (or by hand, matching the exact bug this fixed) has none of
+this bookkeeping, so every file looks "pending" — re-running an already
+non-idempotent `ALTER TABLE ... ADD COLUMN` (0003, 0007) would otherwise die
+with a raw `duplicate column name` failure. Before running each pending
+file, `dev.mjs` takes a schema snapshot of the local D1 (table/index names
+from `sqlite_master`, columns from `PRAGMA table_info`) and, if every target
+the file declares (its `CREATE TABLE`/`CREATE INDEX`/`ALTER TABLE ... ADD
+COLUMN` statements) already exists, **adopts** it — records it as applied
+without running it, with a clear log line — instead of re-running it. A file
+whose effect can't be probed generically this way (any other statement
+shape) is never adopted; it always runs, relying on its own idempotency
+(`IF NOT EXISTS`/`IF EXISTS`). Any migration failure — a real SQL error, or a
+probe-query failure — prints ONE clean line (the file, the SQLite message,
+and how to recover: the record path, or `node scripts/dev.mjs --tier=<N>
+--reset-local-db` to wipe local D1 state and the record and start fresh) and
+exits non-zero with nothing left running, never a raw stack trace.
+`--reset-local-db` deletes `workers/api/.wrangler/state/v3/d1` and the
+applied-migrations record; passing the flag is itself the confirmation (no
+interactive prompt), and it prints exactly what it deleted.
+
+**Fixture replay (`dev:full`).** Once the o11y worker reports ready,
+`dev.mjs` prints the replay command
+(`node scripts/o11y-replay-fixtures.mjs --base http://localhost:<O11Y_DEV_PORT>`).
+Pass `--replay` to run it automatically instead of just printing it.
+
+**Local rate limit is shared across browsers.** `checkRateLimit`'s key is
+`cf-connecting-ip ?? "unknown"` (`gates/browser.ts`) — every local browser
+resolves the same fallback, so `/telemetry/collect`/`/telemetry/lite` share
+one 100-per-60s bucket across the whole machine. Several parallel test
+browsers can burst past it and get `429`s. A Faro batch is then sent again
+about 60 s later, but a lite beacon dropped at the gate never reaches Loki.
+Expect delays and gaps, not a bug, when running multi-browser local traffic.
+Production keys on each visitor's own `cf-connecting-ip`, so this is
+local-only (see "Ingest rate limit" below for the per-IP budget).
+
+**Local Slack alerts.** `dev:full` starts
+`node scripts/o11y-slack-capture.mjs --port <O11Y_SLACK_CAPTURE_PORT>` — a
+tiny local HTTP server (no real Slack workspace involved) that prints and
+keeps the last 50 alert posts (`GET http://localhost:4210/_captured`). The
+o11y worker's local `SLACK_WEBHOOK_URL` points at it (see the bootstrap
+section above), so a fired alert (ADR-0041 §F.3 — trigger the `*/10` cron by
+hand with `curl "http://localhost:<O11Y_DEV_PORT>/cdn-cgi/local/scheduled?cron=*/10+*+*+*+*"`,
+or replay the fixtures, which trips the new-fingerprint rule on first run)
+shows up locally instead of needing a real Slack webhook.
+
+**Crons never fire on their own under `wrangler dev`** — neither worker's,
+and this is by design, not a bug (both print "Scheduled Workers are not
+automatically triggered during local development" on startup when they have
+any). Trigger a specific one by hand with the pattern above for the o11y
+worker (its `*/10 * * * *` backlog/alert tick), or, for the API worker's two
+triggers (`workers/api/wrangler.jsonc`'s `triggers.crons`):
+`curl "http://localhost:<API_DEV_PORT>/cdn-cgi/handler/scheduled?cron=17+4+*+*+*"`
+for the nightly job (reconciliation, spend alerts, GC, analytics prune), and
+`curl "http://localhost:<API_DEV_PORT>/cdn-cgi/handler/scheduled?cron=*/5+*+*+*+*"`
+for the `*/5` pool/budget-gauge tick. The two workers' local trigger paths
+differ (`/cdn-cgi/local/scheduled` vs `/cdn-cgi/handler/scheduled`) because
+they pin different wrangler versions (o11y 4.136.3, API 4.108.0) whose
+Miniflare internals name this differently; wrangler itself prints the
+correct path and port for whichever worker you're running, so treat that
+printed line as the source of truth if it ever disagrees with this doc.
+(`wrangler dev --test-scheduled` + `/__scheduled` still exists as an older,
+separate opt-in path, but needs the flag and does not let you pick which of
+several triggers fires, so the `curl` forms above are simpler.)
+
+**Browsing logs.** Sign into Grafana (`http://localhost:<O11Y_DEV_PORT>/grafana/` —
+`DEV_ADMIN` logs you in automatically in local mode) and open the **Logs**
+dashboard for API-worker lines, authoring/embed browser errors, and a
+free-text/`cf.ray`/`session.id`/demo-id search across every service in one
+place — it's linked from the Runner overview and Observability self
+dashboards too. (The same dashboard's `hot_surface="demo-runtime"`
+panel carries no message text. `reportDemoEvent` files the preview relay as
+a `preview.runtime_error` count metric (a Faro measurement, `toFacade` →
+`telemetry.metric` → `pushMeasurement`) — per the ruling above (§6),
+every measurement is Analytics-Engine-only, so this produces no Loki line
+at all any more, not even a count-only one. The one demo-runtime Loki line
+that still exists is the Tier-1 compile-failure branch, whose message is
+always the constant `"Tier-1 compile failed"` — the real diagnostic detail
+goes to `extra` there, and for everything else lives in Sentry, when
+`MONITOR_DEMOS`/`VITE_MONITOR_DEMOS` is on.) `/admin`'s
+header also has an **Open Grafana** link
+(otherwise nothing in the app points at it): `href={GRAFANA_URL}` in
+`Admin.tsx`, which reads `import.meta.env.VITE_GRAFANA_URL` and falls back to
+`/grafana/`. On the deployed zone that fallback is what actually runs (no env
+override needed) because the authoring app and the o11y worker share one
+origin. Locally they don't — `apps/authoring/vite.config.ts`'s dev proxy has
+no `/grafana` entry (only `/api`, `/d`, `/embed`, `/telemetry`), and a proxy
+wouldn't be the right fix anyway: Grafana's own `GF_SERVER_ROOT_URL` is the
+o11y worker's origin, so its login redirect would bounce off a proxied
+origin. `pnpm dev:full` (`scripts/dev-lib.mjs`'s `--tier=full` plan) instead
+sets `VITE_GRAFANA_URL=http://localhost:<O11Y_DEV_PORT>/grafana/` as process
+env for the app's dev server, so the same link on `:<AUTHORING_PORT>/admin`
+opens Grafana directly there too, with the `DEV_ADMIN` local login bypass
+landing correctly. Every signed-in user is a Grafana Viewer, but Viewers now also get
+**Explore** (`/grafana/explore`): pick the `Loki (browser)` or
+`Loki (worker)` datasource and run a LogQL query directly against either
+tenant, without needing a dashboard panel for it. Neither capability lets a
+Viewer save a change back to a provisioned dashboard or datasource — those
+stay read-only, and Grafana's state is disposable anyway (a fresh DB on
+every wake).
+
+**Logs are only as fresh as the last wake.** The box drains its packed
+objects into Loki once, right after it wakes, and nothing re-arms that
+drain while it stays awake (ADR-0041 §B.3's out-of-order window assumes the
+drain replays into an empty ingester, which only holds true at wake start).
+So any ingest that arrives *while* the box is already up sits undrained and
+invisible in Grafana/Explore until the *next* wake. There is no staleness
+indicator on the dashboards for this; treat Logs/Explore as "as of the last
+wake started", not live — a design change may follow.
+
+**Bot traffic is filtered locally too.** The o11y worker's bot gate drops
+any request whose user agent matches `HeadlessChrome` — including local
+requests, by design. This repo's own Playwright config already avoids it
+(`playwright.config.ts` uses `devices["Desktop Chrome"]`, which does not
+send a `HeadlessChrome` UA even when headless — confirmed live), so it's
+only a risk for a bare `chromium.launch()` with no device preset. That kind
+of scripted local traffic is silently dropped before it reaches Analytics
+Engine/Loki, with no client-side signal that it happened; use a
+`devices[...]` preset (confirmed live: `devices["Desktop Chrome"]` does not
+send `HeadlessChrome` even headless) or an explicit non-`HeadlessChrome` UA
+override if you need it to actually show up in local dashboards —
+`channel: "chrome"` alone does **not** fix it: confirmed live, a headless
+`chromium.launch({ channel: "chrome" })` still sends `HeadlessChrome/...`.
+
+**Local o11y data persists across a restart.** `containers/o11y/compose.yml`
+gives MinIO and ClickHouse named volumes (Grafana itself stays ephemeral by
+design), and `workers/o11y/.wrangler/state` (the InboxWriter ledger, dedupe
+hashes, local R2 inbox objects) was already kept across a restart before
+this. So a plain Ctrl-C + `pnpm dev:full` again keeps your local
+logs/metrics AND the ledger that tracks them, together — `dev.mjs` prints
+one line at startup either way: `o11y local data: kept (MinIO/ClickHouse
+volumes + o11y worker state)`, or `o11y local data: fresh` when you passed
+`--fresh`.
+
+**`--fresh`** wipes all of that local o11y state together in one shot:
+`docker compose ... down -v` for this project's minio/clickhouse volumes,
+AND `workers/o11y/.wrangler/state`. It prints exactly what it removed.
+Wiping only one half (e.g. `docker volume rm` by hand) is what causes the
+stack to look "broken" after a restart: a `done:` (committed) ledger key
+whose MinIO data is gone is never re-drained on its own, and a fixture
+replay's dedupe hashes can then block the same data from ever refilling the
+now-empty store. In practice, only that second half — the dedupe-hash
+hazard — applies to a wake that pushed data: see "Local clean markers never
+commit" below for why a pushed key can't reach `done:` locally at all, so
+neither the "committed key whose MinIO data is gone" case nor `dev.mjs`'s
+own divergence warning (below) ever fires for one. If `dev.mjs` finds that
+mismatch (the MinIO volume is gone but the ledger still has committed keys —
+in practice, only a wake that drained nothing) it prints a warning
+recommending `--fresh` — or, if you'd rather keep what R2 still has
+(7-day retention), `POST /grafana/_o11y/reopen` once the worker is up.
+`--fresh` never touches `workers/api`'s local D1 — that's `--reset-local-db`, a
+different flag for a different store. `pnpm o11y:dev` also accepts
+`--fresh`, for just its own half (workers/o11y's worker state) — it never
+runs `docker compose` itself, so it can't wipe the compose volumes; see that
+command's own startup log for the divergence risk if you're also running
+`dev:full`'s compose stack.
+
+**Local clean markers never commit.** A wake resolves clean or unclean, and
+it's the keys it **drained** (packing is `InboxWriter`'s job, not the
+wake's) that become `done:` on a clean resolution — or get reopened and
+replayed on the next wake otherwise. In production, the box writes each
+wake's `state/wakes/<wakeId>/clean` marker and the worker checks for it
+through the same R2 bucket (`handsontable-demos-o11y-loki`), so a clean stop
+resolves those drained keys `done:` and they are never replayed again.
+Locally those are two *different* stores: the container writes the marker
+straight to MinIO over S3, but the o11y worker checks for it through its
+`O11Y_LOKI_STATE` R2 binding, which under `wrangler dev` is Miniflare's own
+separate local R2 — not MinIO. The worker never finds the marker, so a local
+wake that drained any data always resolves `unclean` and reopens every key
+it drained, which then replays again on the next wake, indefinitely (within
+Loki's 7-day retention) — not only after a crash. This is a local-dev-only
+gap with no bridge today; treat `o11y.wake outcome=unclean` as expected
+locally rather than a sign something broke, and don't rely on local
+`done:`/clean-shutdown testing as evidence for the production path.
+
+**What Ctrl-C actually cleans up.** Every `wrangler dev`/`vite`/capture-server
+child is spawned in its own process group and signalled as a group on
+Ctrl-C (SIGINT — also SIGTERM and SIGHUP), with an 8s grace period before
+escalating to SIGKILL, and `dev:full` also runs `docker compose ... down`
+(never `-v` — see above) for the minio/clickhouse stack it started, keeping
+its named volumes for next time.
+
+What it does **not** do: stop a Tier-2 Sandbox/GrafanaBox container on your
+behalf. Measured for this task: Ctrl-C does not make wrangler's own
+Sandbox-container orchestration tear itself down synchronously — a
+session's `workerd-handsontable-demos-api-Sandbox-*`(-proxy) container can
+still be `Up` several seconds after `dev.mjs` has already exited. An
+earlier version of this script tried to sweep those up itself (stop any
+container that was "new since this run started" and name-matched
+`handsontable-demos-(api|o11y)`), but that signal cannot tell this run's own
+container apart from one a DIFFERENT worktree's concurrent `wrangler dev`
+session started — several worktrees running `wrangler dev` on this same
+machine at once is the normal case here (see `WRANGLER_REGISTRY_PATH`
+above), not a rare race, and the sweep's window was this run's entire
+session, not a narrow few seconds. Stopping the wrong worktree's container
+silently kills its session. So `dev.mjs` now only **reports** containers
+that look like they might be leftovers — it prints their names, a
+`docker ps` filter, and the exact manual `docker stop` command — and never
+runs `docker stop`/`docker rm` on anything itself. If you see that report,
+confirm what a container actually is (e.g. `docker inspect` its ports)
+before stopping it by hand.
+
+**Standalone o11y worker.** `pnpm o11y:dev` (unchanged as its own command)
+starts just the o11y worker under `wrangler dev`, sharing the same
+`.dev.vars` bootstrap/port-resolution code as `dev.mjs` — for working a pure
+o11y bug without the API worker, Docker compose, or the Slack capture
+server. It does **not** also start `containers/o11y/compose.yml` —
+`wrangler dev` manages its own container instance via the same Dockerfile,
+and running both would fight over the same image/ports for no benefit.
+
+**Debugging one piece in isolation.** The three commands above cover normal
+development; to run a single worker by hand (e.g. with a debugger attached
+outside the orchestrator), the underlying commands are still just
+`wrangler dev` from that worker's own directory and `vite` from
+`apps/authoring` — `dev.mjs --help` prints every flag and env var this
+script itself understands if you want to replicate its exact invocation.
+
+`.dev.vars` and `.env.local` are gitignored dev-only bypasses — never used in
+prod. `PREVIEW_HOST="localhost:8787"` (the API worker's bootstrapped
+default) overrides the `wrangler.jsonc` default (`demos.handsontable.com`, a
+real public wildcard that routes to the *deployed* worker) so container
+preview URLs come out as `*.localhost:8787`, which browsers treat as
+`127.0.0.1` (RFC 6761) and reach your local `wrangler dev`. It must be a real
+host value — wrangler silently ignores empty-string `.dev.vars` overrides.
+Without it, Tier-2/container sessions boot fine but the preview iframe fails
+with `INVALID_TOKEN` — the token is only known to your local session, not to
+prod. `VITE_DEV_USER`/`VITE_API_BASE` for the authoring app are injected as
+process env by `dev.mjs`, never written to an `.env.local` file — nothing
+committed to disk can leak the dev-login bypass into a later "real" build.
+
+This only works because `wrangler.jsonc` declares **no `routes`**: when
+routes are present, `wrangler dev` simulates the first route's host on every
+request, destroying the preview subdomain before `proxyToSandbox()` can
+route on it. That's why the production routes live in the `deploy` script
+instead — don't move them back into `wrangler.jsonc`.
+
+**Docker memory.** A Tier-2 load test that fills the real pool (up to 10 containers) plus
+ClickHouse needs more than Docker Desktop's default 8 GB — ClickHouse itself was OOM-killed
+at 8 GB during one such test. Raise Docker's memory limit before running one.
+
+**Host sleep.** Restart `dev:full` if the laptop has been asleep for a while — `workerd`'s
+own alarms fire late once the host wakes, and the o11y worker can stop answering (every
+route times out, no error) until the stack is restarted.
+
+**`at_capacity`.** Local `wrangler dev` does not enforce `containers[].max_instances`, so
+`at_capacity` and its alert can only be produced and checked on the sandbox/production
+account — never expect them to fire locally, however many sessions you open.

+  every launch too — `e2e/o11y-local.spec.ts`'s own file header has the exact
+  setup commands.

+### Authoring app (frontend)
+
+`master.yml`'s `deploy-authoring` job runs when the push touches
+`runner/apps/authoring/**`, `runner/packages/**`, `runner/config/**`,
+`runner/catalog.json` (the authoring build imports it at compile time, so a
+catalog-only change — e.g. after `pnpm import` — must redeploy the app), or
+either workflow file. It downloads the `authoring-dist` artifact the shared
+`build` job already produced and `wrangler deploy`s
+`handsontable-demos-authoring` (Workers Assets, no Docker). `VITE_API_BASE` is
+read from committed `.env.production`. A post-deploy smoke check verifies
+`demos.handsontable.com` serves the freshly built bundle.
+`workflow_dispatch`'s `deploy_authoring` checkbox allows a manual run.
+
+**Source maps (ADR §C.3).** The `build` job's authoring build step passes
+`SENTRY_AUTH_TOKEN`/`SENTRY_ORG`/`SENTRY_PROJECT` (repo secret + vars) and
+`VITE_SENTRY_SCOPE: full` — those three secrets present is what
+`apps/authoring/vite.config.ts` reads as "this is the real production build",
+which is what turns maps on (`sourcemap: "hidden"`, no `sourceMappingURL`
+comment in the served JS — Workers Assets' SPA fallback, DEV-2569, answers any
+path it does not recognise with `200 text/html`, which a browser trying to
+follow a real map pointer would choke on) and enables the `sentryVitePlugin`'s
+own upload (it now injects Sentry debug IDs but no longer deletes the maps
+itself). The next step in `build` walks `apps/authoring/dist/**/*.map`,
+uploads each one to R2 bucket `handsontable-demos-o11y-maps` at key
+`sourcemaps/<sha>/<original asset path>.map` (matching
+`workers/o11y/src/drain/symbolicate.ts`'s own `mapKeyFor`, `<sha>` = the full
+`GITHUB_SHA`, same value as `VITE_SENTRY_RELEASE`/`SERVICE_VERSION`), then
+deletes it from `dist/`. **This step authenticates with the dedicated,
+maps-bucket-only S3 credential (`R2_MAPS_ACCESS_KEY_ID`/`R2_MAPS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY`,
+one-time setup step 2 below), through the S3 API (`aws s3 cp`), never
+`CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN`** — that token is account-wide, and this job otherwise
+never needs Cloudflare API access at all; a bucket-scoped credential is the
+same principle the Loki-only token (step 3) already uses for the box. Two
+leak checks run only after that deletion (a map's
+`sourcesContent` embeds `localhost:8787` and `VITE_DEV_USER` literally, which
+would false-fire the first check if it ran before the maps were gone):
+`grep -rl "localhost:8787\|VITE_DEV_USER\|dev@handsontable.com" apps/authoring/dist`
+(AGENTS.md's dev-bypass check, now automated here — see "Prod build config"
+there for what each string catches) and `pnpm check:telemetry-leak`
+(`scripts/check-telemetry-leak.mjs`, contract §10 — fails if the local
+telemetry path's sentinels survive DCE into a production bundle). A PR build
+(`ci.yml`) sets none of the three Sentry secrets, so `uploadEnabled` is false
+there, no maps are ever written, and both leak-check commands still run
+(harmlessly, over an unmapped `dist/`) as a standing regression net.
+
+### API worker + Tier-2 image (Docker required)

+`handsontable-demos-o11y` — this is also the string the Runner-overview
+dashboard's Deploys annotation shows verbatim, `containers/o11y/grafana/dashboards/runner-overview.json`'s
+`textFormat: "{{__line__}}"`). `<cf_version_id>` comes from the deploy step's
+own stdout — `wrangler deploy` prints a trailing `Current Version ID: <uuid>`
+line; capture it with `pnpm run deploy | tee deploy.log` (`set -o pipefail` is
+on, so a piped deploy failure still fails the job) and
+`grep -oE 'Current Version ID:.*' deploy.log | awk '{print $NF}'`. **This step
+never fails the job on its own** (`-f` fails the curl on a non-2xx exit, but
+its own exit code is deliberately not checked with `set -e` in force — a
+warning line is emitted instead): a deploy that shipped correctly must not be
+marked red because the *reporting* of it hiccuped, and on the very first
+merge of this feature the o11y route may not be reachable yet for the
+authoring/API jobs' own deploy events.
+
+**DAG note.** `deploy-api`'s job also `needs: deploy-o11y` (in addition to
+`build`) and proceeds when that job is `success` **or skipped** (`if: always()
+&& needs.deploy-o11y.result != 'failure'`) — see "First deploy, in order"
+below for why.
+
+## One-time setup
+
+Everything in this section is done once, by hand, against the real Cloudflare
+account, before the first `master.yml` run that touches `runner/workers/o11y/**`
+can work end to end. CI does not run any of it — this is the checklist for
+whoever performs the actual production launch. Every `wrangler` command below needs `CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN` (or an
+authenticated `wrangler login`) and `-J eu`/`--jurisdiction eu` where shown —
+the o11y buckets are all EU (contract §2).
+
+### 1. R2 buckets + lifecycle rules
+
+```bash
+cd workers/o11y
+npx wrangler r2 bucket create handsontable-demos-o11y-inbox -J eu
+npx wrangler r2 bucket create handsontable-demos-o11y-loki  -J eu
+npx wrangler r2 bucket create handsontable-demos-o11y-maps  -J eu
+
+# Loki bucket: browser/ 30d, worker/ 90d, index/ 90d, state/ 30d — the
+# committed rule file (T01, containers/o11y/r2-lifecycle-rules.json). `set`
+# REPLACES the whole rule set, so this is the only command needed for that
+# bucket, run once and again whenever the file changes.
+npx wrangler r2 bucket lifecycle set handsontable-demos-o11y-loki -J eu \
+  --file ../../containers/o11y/r2-lifecycle-rules.json
+
+# Inbox and maps buckets are flat (no prefix rules) — one rule each.
+npx wrangler r2 bucket lifecycle add handsontable-demos-o11y-inbox inbox-7d -J eu --expire-days 7
+npx wrangler r2 bucket lifecycle add handsontable-demos-o11y-maps  maps-30d -J eu --expire-days 30
+```
+
+### 2. R2 S3 credential scoped to the maps bucket only (CI source-map upload)
+
+Dashboard → **R2 → Manage R2 API Tokens → Create API Token**, scope
+**Object Read & Write**, restricted to the single bucket
+`handsontable-demos-o11y-maps` — the same "one bucket, nothing else" shape as
+the Loki token in step 3 below, and for the same reason: the only thing that
+ever needs to write here is `master.yml`'s own source-map upload step
+(`docs/run-and-deploy.md` §"Source maps (ADR §C.3)" above), and it has
+no business being able to touch the inbox or Loki buckets, let alone anything
+outside this account's o11y resources. This bucket-scoped credential means
+`CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN` never needs R2 access at all, rather than piggybacking
+on that account-wide token with a blanket R2: Edit grant.
+
+Add the two values as **repository** secrets (GitHub → repo **Settings →
+Secrets and variables → Actions → New repository secret**), not Worker
+secrets — the o11y Worker itself never reads them; only the CI job's `aws s3
+cp` step does, as `AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID`/`AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY`:
+
+- `R2_MAPS_ACCESS_KEY_ID`
+- `R2_MAPS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY`
+
+### 3. Loki S3 token (`LOKI_S3_ACCESS_KEY_ID` / `LOKI_S3_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY`)
+
+Dashboard → **R2 → Manage R2 API Tokens → Create API Token**, scope
+**Object Read & Write**, restricted to the single bucket
+`handsontable-demos-o11y-loki` (contract §2: "the box writes Loki data and the
+`state/` clean markers there" — nothing else needs S3 access to this bucket;
+the Worker's own `O11Y_LOKI_STATE` R2 binding is a separate, narrower path that
+only ever *reads* `state/wakes/<wakeId>/clean` markers, never the S3
+credential). `LOKI_S3_BUCKET` itself is **not** set in `wrangler.jsonc` —
+`box.ts` falls back to `handsontable-demos-o11y-loki` when it is absent, which
+is exactly the bucket this token is scoped to; only a throwaway sandbox-probe
+config would ever need to override it, and if it ever is overridden the token
+must be re-scoped to match, or every Loki write comes back `403`.
+
+```bash
+cd workers/o11y
+npx wrangler secret put LOKI_S3_ACCESS_KEY_ID
+npx wrangler secret put LOKI_S3_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY
+```
+
+### 4. Export destination (`o11y-logs`) + `O11Y_EXPORT_SECRET`
+
+**Do this after the first deploy of both Workers, not before** — creating the
+destination runs a pre-flight `POST` to
+`https://demos.handsontable.com/telemetry/v1/logs`, which answers 405 until the
+o11y worker's `/telemetry/*` routes are actually deployed. `workers/api/wrangler.jsonc`
+ships with `observability.logs.destinations: []` for exactly this reason; a
+follow-up deploy adds `"o11y-logs"` back once the destination exists (see "First
+deploy, in order" below). Create it once, in the dashboard: **Workers & Pages →
+Observability → Telemetry → Add destination**.
+
+- Destination Name: `o11y-logs`
+- Destination Type: **Logs**
+- OTLP Endpoint: `https://demos.handsontable.com/telemetry/v1/logs`
+- Custom Headers: `x-o11y-secret: <the same value as the O11Y_EXPORT_SECRET
+  secret below>` — Cloudflare's own export sends **no** OIDC token, so this
+  header is not optional the way it is on the CI deploy-event route (ADR §B.5:
+  "x-o11y-secret" is the *only* gate on `/telemetry/v1/logs`).
+
+Generate the secret first, then paste the same value into both places:
+
+```bash
+cd workers/o11y
+npx wrangler secret put O11Y_EXPORT_SECRET   # generate with `openssl rand -hex 32`, never print it
+```
+
+**Facts pinned by a real sandbox-probe capture, not
+assumed:** the export is always `Content-Type: application/json`,
+`Content-Encoding: gzip` — Cloudflare has never been observed sending
+protobuf, so the ingest route does not need to handle it. `service.version` is
+**absent** from the export (every worker-origin record instead falls back to
+`env.SERVICE_VERSION ?? "unknown"` inside the o11y worker's own normalisation,
+`workers/o11y/src/normalise/points.ts`). The ray id arrives as the attribute
+`cloudflare.ray_id`, not a resource attribute. Do **not** enable a trace
+destination — contract §1: "There is no trace route" (ADR §C.4).
+
+**One more fact, pinned by a real captured export:** a Worker's own `console.log(JSON.stringify(...))`
+line (`workers/api/src/telemetry/lines.ts`'s structured request/error lines)
+arrives through this export as **opaque body text** — `body.stringValue` is
+the raw JSON string, and the record's own `attributes` carry only
+Cloudflare's generic wrapper fields, never one of the app's own JSON keys.
+The o11y worker's normaliser (`normalise/otlp.ts#tryParseJsonBodyAttrs`)
+parses a JSON-object body and merges its keys into the same attribute bag a
+real OTLP attribute would land in — with every §3 resource-attribute key
+stripped from the parsed body and given the lowest merge priority, so a
+crafted body cannot spoof a real label. Nothing to configure here; recorded
+so a future change to `lines.ts`'s own JSON shape does not accidentally
+reintroduce a field this parser does not expect.
+
+> ⚠️ The dashboard's create/patch response for a destination has, in a real
+> probe session, twice echoed the export secret back in plaintext inside
+> `configuration.destination_conf` (not `configuration.headers`, which IS
+> redacted) — never paste that response into a shared terminal, log, or
+> screenshot. If it happens, rotate `O11Y_EXPORT_SECRET` immediately (a fresh
+> `wrangler secret put` + re-editing the destination's header with the new
+> value) and only then continue.
+
+### 5. `O11Y_SESSION_SECRET` for `/grafana/*`
+
+**No Cloudflare Access application is needed.** The gate is the
+Handsontable login broker (ADR-0007) — the
+same broker `/admin` and every other internal surface already sign in
+through. A callback page under `/grafana/_o11y/` reads the broker's
+fragment token once, and the o11y worker mints its own signed session
+cookie from it (`workers/o11y/src/gates/session.ts`, `grafana/login.ts`).
+There is nothing to create in the Zero Trust dashboard.
+
+`/admin`'s header has an **Open Grafana** link, opened in a new tab, that
+goes through this same broker login — straight to `/grafana/` on the
+deployed zone, and to the o11y worker's own local origin under `pnpm
+dev:full` (see "Browsing logs" above for the `VITE_GRAFANA_URL` wiring that
+makes the local case work too).
+
+Set nothing in Cloudflare beyond this one secret:
+
+```bash
+cd workers/o11y
+npx wrangler secret put O11Y_SESSION_SECRET   # generate with `openssl rand -hex 32`, never print it
+```
+
+`LOGIN_BROKER_URL` needs no dashboard step either — it is a public var,
+already the real broker URL in `wrangler.jsonc`'s `vars` block
+(`https://mcp-auth-proxy-j0tb.onrender.com`, the same value
+`workers/api/wrangler.jsonc` uses). A real production probe by hand —
+`curl -s -o /dev/null -w '%{http_code} %{redirect_url}\n' 'https://mcp-auth-proxy-j0tb.onrender.com/broker/login?return_to=https%3A%2F%2Fdemos.handsontable.com%2Fgrafana%2F_o11y%2Fcallback%3Fn%3Dx'`
+— confirmed a `302` to Google (2026-09-24), so the callback host is allowed today; a
+separate local round trip against a *stubbed* broker proves the Worker's own code,
+not the real broker's live
+configuration. If the production behaviour ever changes, re-run the curl command above
+before assuming it still holds, and ask the broker's owners (`handsontable/hot-mcp`) to
+add `demos.handsontable.com` back to `BROKER_ALLOWED_RETURN_HOSTS` if it does not.
+
+**The broker-wide risk this gate inherits, not fixes (DEV-3088).** The broker's
+`return_to` allowlist is host-suffix-only, so it also admits anonymous Tier-2 preview
+hosts (`*.demos.handsontable.com`) — anyone can harvest another team member's 1h broker
+token by sending them a crafted login link. Without this gate, a stolen token could not
+reach Grafana at all (`ACCESS_AUD` was `""`, so Access refused everything); this gate
+widens DEV-3088's blast radius: a stolen token can now be exchanged for a Grafana
+session. The session is capped at
+`min(now + 12h, brokerTokenExp)` instead of a flat 12h, so the exposure a stolen token
+buys is close to the token's own 1h lifetime, not 11 hours longer — but does not close
+it: DEV-3088 itself remains open and is tracked separately, not by this gate.
+
+### 6. Every o11y worker secret (contract §2)
+
+```bash
+cd workers/o11y
+npx wrangler secret put O11Y_EXPORT_SECRET          # step 4 above
+npx wrangler secret put SENTRY_HOOK_SECRET           # step 8 below
+npx wrangler secret put AE_SQL_TOKEN                 # step below
+npx wrangler secret put LOKI_S3_ACCESS_KEY_ID        # step 3 above
+npx wrangler secret put LOKI_S3_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY    # step 3 above
+npx wrangler secret put SLACK_WEBHOOK_URL            # step 7 below
+npx wrangler secret put O11Y_SESSION_SECRET          # step 5 above
+```
+
+`AE_SQL_TOKEN` is the Analytics Engine SQL API token — same token shape as the
+API worker's own `CF_ANALYTICS_TOKEN` (Account → Account Analytics → Read),
+passed to the box as `GrafanaBox`'s ClickHouse datasource credential.
+
+`RATE_LIMITER` needs no dashboard step — a Workers rate-limiting binding's
+`namespace_id` (`1001`, already in `wrangler.jsonc`) is a self-chosen scoping
+id, not a Cloudflare-provisioned resource; it is created the moment
+the Worker deploys with that binding present. `O11Y_STOP_GRACE_SECONDS` also
+needs no setup here — it is not a Worker var at all, but a hardcoded container
+`envVars` value in `box.ts` (120s in production).
+
+**Ingest rate limit: 100 requests / 60 s per `cf-connecting-ip`.**
+`/telemetry/collect` and `/telemetry/lite` share this one bucket. The limit is
+sized from what one IP actually sends:
+
+- **Authoring tab:** about 12 POSTs a minute at most. Faro flushes every 5 s
+  (`telemetry/faroConfig.ts`) and each time the tab is hidden; a flush whose
+  items span a URL change goes out as one POST per page URL.
+  `sandpack.compile_ms` is sent once per edit burst, not once per keystroke,
+  and not for the mount. Measured (a Tier-1 `javascript` example, typing for 70 s,
+  `/telemetry/collect` stubbed): 5 POSTs in the busiest 60 s, page load
+  included, for a comment or a string literal at 150 or 250 ms per key, and for
+  statements at 150 ms.
+- **Embed or `/d` page view:** on average 0.4 lite beacons (four vitals on the
+  10 % of views that sample them), plus at most 20 error beacons
+  (`MONITOR_EVENT_CEILING`) from a demo that throws.
+- **One IP:** 100/60 s covers 8 authoring tabs flushing at the 12/min ceiling,
+  20 at the measured 5, or about 250 embed views a minute. That is
+  enough headroom for an office NAT, so the limit stays at 100.
+
+A 429 carries `Retry-After: 60`. Faro's transport retries up to
+`maxBackoffMs: 75 000` (the window plus Faro's 20 % jitter), so a 429'd batch
+is sent again after the window, not dropped, unless the tab is left first
+(the `pagehide` drain's one keepalive attempt lands in the same window). It keeps at most 30 batches
+queued (`bufferSize`) and makes 3 attempts per batch. A lite beacon has no
+retry, so a 429 drops it.
+
+### 7. Slack webhook
+
+Slack → an **Incoming Webhook** app pointed at the alert channel. Paste the
+webhook URL into `SLACK_WEBHOOK_URL` (step 6). The o11y worker posts one line
+per alert-rule fire/resolve transition (`slackPoster`) and no-ops
+silently without this secret — alerts still land as InboxWriter state and
+Grafana annotations either way, just without the Slack ping.
+
+### 8. Sentry internal integration (issue-alert webhook)
+
+Sentry → project settings → **Integrations → Internal Integrations → New
+Internal Integration**. No scopes are needed (this integration only *receives*
+a webhook, it never calls the Sentry API back) — just enable **Alert Rule
+Action**, add a **Webhook URL** of `https://demos.handsontable.com/telemetry/hooks/sentry`,
+save, and copy the generated **Client Secret** into `SENTRY_HOOK_SECRET` (step
+6). Then, in the Sentry project's own alert rules, add this internal
+integration as an action on whichever issue alerts should mirror into o11y.
+The route verifies Sentry's `sentry-hook-signature` header, an HMAC-SHA256 of
+the raw request body under this same secret (`workers/o11y/src/gates/sentry.ts`).
+
+### 9. GitHub OIDC trust
+
+Nothing to configure on GitHub's side beyond `id-token: write` on the deploying
+jobs (already in `master.yml`) — GitHub's OIDC provider issues a token for its
+own workflow run to any job that requests one; there is no separate "trust"
+relationship to establish, unlike a cloud provider's IAM OIDC federation. The
+whole trust boundary lives on the **o11y worker's** side, and is already
+committed: `GITHUB_OIDC_REPOSITORY` (`handsontable/examples`) and
+`GITHUB_OIDC_WORKFLOW_REF`
+(`handsontable/examples/.github/workflows/master.yml@refs/heads/master`) in
+`workers/o11y/wrangler.jsonc`'s `vars` block. **If `master.yml` is ever renamed
+or moved, or the default branch changes, `GITHUB_OIDC_WORKFLOW_REF` must be
+updated in the same PR** — `workers/o11y/src/gates/oidc.ts` checks the OIDC
+token's `workflow_ref` claim against it with an exact string match,
+and a stale value makes every CI deploy event fall through to the
+`O11Y_EXPORT_SECRET` fallback (harmless, since that secret is also configured,
+but worth knowing rather than discovering silently).
+
+### 10. WAF exception for `/telemetry/*`
+
+Extends the exception rule created by "WAF exception for `/api/*` (one-time)"
+above — `97dde65c10e049d5821a7c3643a0382d` ("demos runner: source-code
+payloads trip Script Tag XSS (DEV-2631, ADR-0038)"), in the zone's
+`http_request_firewall_managed` entrypoint. **Not** the managed-ruleset rule it
+skips (`9c8dda9708cc4452ac76e7be7b58420b`, in the Cloudflare Managed Ruleset,
+id `efb7b8c949ac4650a09736fc376e9aee`) — that one is Cloudflare's, read-only.
+Faro payloads (`/telemetry/collect`) and the Cloudflare OTLP export
+(`/telemetry/v1/logs`) both carry arbitrary JSON bodies that can contain a
+`<script` substring (a stack trace frame, a console message) exactly the way
+an authored demo's HTML entry does (ADR-0038). Edit the existing exception
+rule's expression to:
+
+```
+http.host eq "demos.handsontable.com" and (starts_with(http.request.uri.path, "/api/") or starts_with(http.request.uri.path, "/telemetry/"))
+```
+
+Verify the same way as the `/api/*` exception — a body the Worker itself
+refuses, so `401`/`400` proves the request arrived and `403` proves the edge
+still ate it:
+
+```bash
+curl -s -o /dev/null -w '%{http_code}\n' -X POST https://demos.handsontable.com/telemetry/collect \
+  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' --data '{"malformed": "<script>should 400, not 403</script>"}'
+```
+
+### First deploy, in order
+
+The o11y worker's `services` binding (`API`, entrypoint `O11yUsage`) and the
+API worker's `O11Y` binding (entrypoint `O11yHeartbeat`) are **mutual** —
+each names the other's Worker's named RPC entrypoint. Deploy the o11y worker
+**first**: its own binding resolves lazily (a Workers service binding is not
+validated against the target actually existing at *deploy* time), but
+`O11yUsage.recordAwakeSeconds`/`o11ySpend` calls from `GrafanaBox` will fail
+until the API worker is deployed too, and the API worker's own
+`env.O11Y.heartbeat()` RPC calls (the watchdog heartbeat) fail the same way
+in the other direction until the o11y worker exists. Deploying o11y first
+means there is only ever one direction of "the other side isn't up yet" instead of
+two. `master.yml` encodes this ordering automatically — `deploy-api` needs
+`deploy-o11y` and proceeds once it is `success` or was skipped (unrelated
+push) — so from the first merge onward this is handled without a manual step.
+The same order applies to a throwaway sandbox probe of either worker: stand
+up the probe o11y worker (or a stub) before the probe API worker if the
+probe exercises the mutual binding at all.
+
+**The `o11y-logs` export destination follows one deploy later, for the same
+reason.** Creating it also runs a pre-flight `POST` to `/telemetry/v1/logs`,
+which 405s until the o11y worker's routes are live, so it cannot exist before
+either Worker's first deploy:
+
+1. This merge ships the API worker with `observability.logs.destinations: []`
+   — no destination named yet.
+2. Once `master.yml` has deployed both Workers, an operator creates
+   `o11y-logs` in the dashboard ("One-time setup" step 4 above).
+3. A follow-up, one-line PR adds `"destinations": ["o11y-logs"]` back to
+   `workers/api/wrangler.jsonc`; its deploy turns the export on.
+
+Until step 3 lands, the API worker's structured log lines still reach Workers
+Logs (`persist: true`), just not Loki — the worker-tenant Grafana panels
+(§F.2) stay empty until then.
+
+## Launch plan (ADR-0041 §L)
+
+The order above ("First deploy, in order") is the mechanical dependency; this
+section is the gate around it — what must be true before deploying at all,
+what to check right after, and the two decisions ("flip the Sentry scope",
+"roll back") that come later, not at deploy time.
+
+### Pre-conditions — confirm every one before the first real deploy
+
+These are carried from the tasks that found them, not newly discovered here:
+
+- **`O11Y_SESSION_SECRET` must be set (at least 32 bytes, `openssl rand -hex 32`) before
+  the first real deploy** ("One-time setup" step 5 above). Until it is,
+  `verifySession`/`verifyLoginCookie` both fail closed on every `/grafana/*` request
+  (a navigation redirects to `/grafana/_o11y/login`, everything else gets 401) — but that
+  login page itself answers a plain `500` rather than completing (`grafana/login.ts`'s own
+  pre-flight check), so Grafana is simply unreachable, not silently degraded. There is no
+  Access application to create; Cloudflare Access was removed from this gate entirely.
+- **The Grafana session is capped at the broker token's own lifetime, not a flat 12h.**
+  A stolen 1h broker token
+  (DEV-3088, the broker-wide `return_to` suffix-allowlist risk) could otherwise be turned
+  into an unrevocable 12h Grafana session — 11 extra hours of exposure per stolen token,
+  on top of DEV-3088's existing blast radius. `gates/session.ts#computeSessionTtlSeconds`
+  caps every session at `min(now + 12h, brokerTokenExp)`, falling back to 1h when the
+  token carries no readable `exp` — this narrows, but does not eliminate, DEV-3088's
+  blast radius, which is still open and tracked separately.
+- **Accepted risk: logout does not revoke a session.** Sessions are stateless, so
+  logout only clears the browser's cookie; a copied `__Host-o11y_session` stays valid
+  until its `exp` (at most 12h). The remedy is rotating `O11Y_SESSION_SECRET`, which
+  signs everyone out.
+- **The "no per-panel ClickHouse `database` field" decision has not been checked
+  against the real Analytics Engine SQL API** — only local ClickHouse and AE's documented
+  SQL surface were checked. If a query returns "unknown table" in production Grafana where
+  it worked locally, this is the first thing to check.
+- **The `aws s3 cp` step for the R2 source-map upload (`master.yml`'s `build` job) has never
+  run against a real R2 credential** — only simulated with `wrangler`
+  replaced by `echo`. Watch the first real `build` job's logs for this step specifically.
+- **The deploy-event steps' `Current Version ID:` grep has never run against a real
+  (non-dry-run) deploy** — an empty capture degrades to an empty `cf_version_id`
+  rather than failing the job. `master.yml` emits `::warning::` when the parse comes
+  back empty, and the o11y worker's ingest path (`normalise/deploy.ts`) marks the record
+  with `cf_version_id_missing: true` in its body (never rejecting it — the deploy already
+  shipped) plus a `console.warn`, so the gap is visible in the Actions run and queryable in
+  Loki even if nobody is watching CI logs in real time. Spot-check the first real deploy's
+  `/telemetry/deploy` payload (visible as a Runner-overview annotation, or in `o11y worker
+  log stream`) for a real, non-empty `cf_version_id` regardless.
+- **The export destination's forced-timeout behaviour is unmeasured** (the probe so far
+  exercised a forced-500, not a hang) — if Cloudflare's log export ever stops making
+  progress rather than erroring cleanly, that failure mode has no prior data point.
+- **`smoke`'s job (`master.yml`) has no `/telemetry/*` or `/grafana/*` coverage** — it only
+  ever checked `/api/health` and the authoring bundle hash. The post-deploy smoke list below
+  is what stands in for that until (if ever) a task adds real `@smoke`-tagged coverage.
+- **Workers Observability pricing terms must be accepted on the account before the
+  first real deploy.** Until they are, the account records only 1% of Workers
+  events instead of the full sample this task assumes, which makes the
+  exported-log volume check (post-deploy smoke item 6, ADR §L criterion 8) read
+  artificially low — a false "under half the allotment" that does not reflect
+  what the account records once the terms are accepted.
+
+### Post-deploy smoke (run once, right after the first real deploy of all three Workers)
+
+Everything below is either a criterion this task could only test locally, or a criterion
+this task could not test at all (calendar time, real Cloudflare Analytics Engine
+credentials). None of it blocks the deploy — it confirms the deploy did what the local
+walkthrough already showed.
+
+1. **Retired — needs a new probe.** A malformed `POST /api/session` or
+   `PATCH /api/demos/:id` request used to reach the fetch catch-all as an uncaught 500
+   (exit criterion 11's Worker leg), but every `request.json()` call site in `index.ts`
+   now answers 400 by design before the body is parsed. The only remaining call sites
+   that still throw on a malformed body sit behind `authenticateService()` (the MCP
+   routes) — usable only with the MCP's shared service secret, not an operator's own
+   bearer token, so they are not a drop-in replacement. Needs a new Worker-tenant probe
+   (or a change to this smoke check's own expectation) before exit criterion 11 can be
+   re-verified this way again.
+2. **Exit criterion 15, worker tenant, against a real Cloudflare export** — a sandbox probe
+   already did this once; repeat once against the production o11y worker's
+   real Workers Logs export destination and confirm the same 7 labels + `cloudflare.ray_id`
+   remap + `service.version` default.
+3. **Exit criterion 9 (idle tab)** — open `/grafana/*`, leave the tab genuinely idle for
+   16 minutes, confirm the box stops. Every provisioned dashboard ships with
+   `"refresh": ""`, so a forgotten dashboard tab is idle by default and does not itself
+   keep the box awake; a viewer who turns refresh back on (the time picker's refresh
+   options are still there) accepts that their own tab now keeps the box awake, up to
+   the 4-hour hard cap, for as long as it stays open.
+4. **Exit criterion 13 (retention)** — check the sandbox account's 1-day retention-clock
+   test (`t03-retention-clock-test/` prefix, `o11y-probe-t03-loki`): the two
+   objects should be gone and the lifecycle rule should still be listed. If more than a few
+   days have passed since that probe ran, this has almost certainly already resolved either
+   way — check R2's own lifecycle-rule application/audit log rather than re-deriving timing.
+5. **`alert-eval-error` never fires** in the real Observability-self dashboard for the first
+   several `*/10` ticks — this is the production detector for an Analytics Engine SQL
+   incompatibility (a query the AE SQL API rejects that local ClickHouse happily accepts,
+   ADR §L's own named trap). If it fires, treat it as a real incompatibility, not noise.
+6. **Tier-2 container stdout volume, confirm against the real measurement.** Locally
+   (a real Tier-2 session under `wrangler dev`): a Vite-family starter (`react-js`)
+   logs 12 lines at boot and 2 lines per 60-second keepalive poll (the Sandbox SDK's own
+   structured logging of its health checks, not the dev server's own output); a
+   slower-booting starter (`angular`) logs 22 lines at boot, same 2-per-poll rate
+   afterward. Projected at the ADR's own required 10× headroom (`docs/adr/
+   0041-observability-stack.md` §D "Measured"), this pushes the **exported-logs**
+   allotment (not the raw Workers Logs pool, which still passes) over half. The
+   Observability-self dashboard has no panel for exported-log volume, and
+   cannot get one cheaply — `o11y.ingest` (the only ingest-side AE point) aggregates one
+   point per *request*, with no route/tenant dimension to split "Tier-2 container stdout"
+   out from everything else the export destination carries. Read Cloudflare's own
+   **Workers → Observability → Usage** view instead (account dashboard, not Grafana):
+   exported log events for the current billing period, for the account. (Whether that
+   view can be filtered per export destination — isolating `o11y-logs` from anything
+   else the account exports — is not confirmed; if it cannot, this is a whole-account
+   figure, a safe over-estimate for this comparison since `o11y-logs` is presently the
+   only configured destination.) Compare that number, after a day of real production
+   traffic, against this projection;
+   if it confirms the projection, lower `head_sampling_rate` (ADR §D's own named
+   fallback) before the pool crosses half — do not wait for it to actually breach the
+   10M/month allotment.
+7. **Exit criterion 5 (symbolication CPU/memory, ADR §L).** Every
+   measurement so far (§L) is a Node-process proxy — no real Workers
+   isolate profiling access has been available, which is exactly the "stays Proposed" blocker the ADR's
+   own header names. Criterion 5's own wording: "an exception from a real `vite build`
+   resolves to `src/…` file and line using at most 500 ms CPU and 64 MB of isolate
+   memory; Babel-chunk frames are skipped, not parsed." This is a **Faro/browser**
+   exception specifically (§C.3: "a Faro exception's stack trace reaches the drain as
+   V8-shaped text") — item 1's (now-retired) probe was a worker-tenant line and never went
+   through symbolication anyway, so it never exercised this criterion.
+   A Playwright `page.evaluate` against the production host does not either:
+   `reportingEnabled`/Faro's own `productionReportingEnabled` both gate on
+   `navigator.webdriver !== true` (`reportingGate.ts`), which every automation harness
+   sets. Throw a real, marked error from a **real browser's devtools console** on the
+   production host instead (`throw new Error("launch-smoke isolate probe " +
+   Date.now())`), confirm it lands in the Observability-self dashboard's `o11y.drain`
+   panel (contract §5: `duration_ms`, wall time, not CPU — it is the closest number
+   this contract exposes to a per-object cost), then read the SAME drain alarm's own
+   CPU time from the Cloudflare dashboard's Workers → Observability → Logs view for the
+   `handsontable-demos-o11y` worker (per-invocation CPU time is a supported field
+   there; `wrangler tail` does not report it). Record that CPU figure against the 500 ms
+   budget. **Peak isolate memory has no supported per-invocation reading anywhere in
+   this stack** (dashboard or `wrangler tail`) — record the 64 MB half of this
+   criterion as "no exceeded-memory/OOM outcome observed for the probe object," not as
+   a measured figure, and say so explicitly in §L "Results" rather than implying a
+   number exists. Flip exit-criterion-5's row from "not yet measured in a real
+   isolate" to a dated pass/fail on that basis (13 flips separately, from its own
+   calendar-time check in item 4 above) — this is what unblocks Proposed → Accepted.
+8. **Exit criterion 13 (retention) in production, and the AE SQL rollup, both against real
+   data** — item 4 above only re-checks the sandbox probe's own 1-day retention-clock test;
+   this is the equivalent check on the real Loki bucket and the real Grafana AE datasource.
+
+   ```bash
+   # No objects in the production Loki bucket older than their prefix's own rule
+   # (containers/o11y/r2-lifecycle-rules.json: browser/ 30d, worker/ 90d, index/ 90d,
+   # state/ 30d) — confirm the rules are actually applied to the bucket first,
+   npx wrangler r2 bucket lifecycle list handsontable-demos-o11y-loki -J eu
+   # then check the oldest object per prefix in the R2 dashboard's object browser
+   # (wrangler has no object-listing command) and confirm it is younger than
+   # that prefix's day count.
+   ```
+
+   Open any Analytics-Engine-datasource panel in the **production** Grafana (`/grafana/`,
+   not the local stack) and confirm it returns real rows rather than an "unknown table" SQL
+   error — the "no per-panel ClickHouse `database` field" decision was checked against
+   local ClickHouse and AE's documented SQL surface only, never a live query (see the "Known
+   gaps" note above). Separately, confirm the nightly `example_daily` rollup (ADR-0042,
+   `cron:nightly:rollup`) is actually landing rows in D1:
+
+   ```bash
+   cd workers/api
+   npx wrangler d1 execute handsontable-demos --remote \
+     --command "SELECT day, framework, count(*) FROM example_daily GROUP BY day, framework ORDER BY day DESC LIMIT 20"
+   ```
+
+   `rollupExampleDaily` only writes rows for groups with at least one event, so a quiet day can
+   legitimately add none — expect rows, not necessarily one per calendar day, once at least one
+   nightly cron (04:17 UTC) has run since deploy.
+9. **`at_capacity` and its alert.** Local `wrangler dev` does not enforce
+   `containers[].max_instances` — every session request succeeds locally regardless of
+   how many are already "awake", so `at_capacity`/`AT_CAPACITY_CODE` and the capacity-related
+   alert can only be produced and confirmed against the real sandbox/production account.
+   Fill the live pool (real Tier-2 sessions, one per framework, up to `max_instances`) and
+   confirm the next session gets a 503 `at_capacity` refusal and the alert fires.
+
+### Flipping `SENTRY_SCOPE` / `VITE_SENTRY_SCOPE` to `uncaught`
+
+All three conditions below must hold, evidenced the same way this task's own local
+walkthrough evidenced them (Grafana dashboards, a fired-and-resolved alert, the volume
+projection) — but against real production data, not the local stack:
+
+1. **Data seen end to end in Grafana** — every §F.2 journey that gets real production
+   traffic shows real points on its dashboard (not "No data"), for at least a full day.
+2. **Alerts have fired at least once** — at least one real alert (any rule) has gone
+   `fired` → `resolved` in production and posted to the real Slack channel, confirming the
+   whole cron → rule → notify → Slack path works against real infrastructure, not just this
+   task's local capture server.
+3. **Volume sits inside the projection** — the Observability-self dashboard's real numbers,
+   after at least a few days of production traffic, are under half of every allotment (§D)
+   the dashboard covers, matching or beating the sandbox-measured figures (ADR-0041 §L,
+   criteria 7–8: $0.21/month at 1× traffic, $0.33/month at 10×, both far under the $10
+   ceiling). The exported-logs allotment specifically is NOT on that
+   dashboard (see the post-deploy smoke's item 6 above for why) — read it from
+   Cloudflare's own Workers → Observability → Usage view instead, same place, same
+   number, this time "at least a few days" rather than "one day." If real Tier-2 stdout
+   volume turns out to exceed the measured exported-logs allotment (ADR-0041 §L
+   criterion 8, the one criterion that stayed Mixed rather than passing), do not flip
+   the scope until the fallback (lowering `head_sampling_rate`, ADR §D's own named
+   escape hatch) has brought it back under half.
+4. **The API-side new-fingerprint feed is confirmed live in production, not
+   just correctly gated.** ADR §E.1: the exact new-fingerprint alert (§F.3) is what
+   replaces Sentry's own "new issue" signal for a handled-error class once the scope
+   narrows — if this feed is dark, an API-side handled-error class that goes from zero
+   to happening gets NO signal at all under `uncaught` (Sentry stops seeing it, and
+   nothing tells the operator a new one started). This is **not** itself gated by the
+   `SENTRY_SCOPE` flip — the o11y worker's `*/10` new-fingerprint cron runs
+   unconditionally (ADR §M) — so confirm it separately, before relying on
+   it as the flip's replacement signal: trigger a real, once-off `reportDiagnostic` call
+   in production (the `npm-registry:version-exists`/`npm-registry:versions` probe paths
+   are the ADR's own named example) and confirm its `hot.fingerprint` appears as a new
+   `fp:` entry and a Slack "new fingerprint" post, not silently dropped. This needs BOTH
+   the real `service.name` normalised to the contract's `demos-api`, and the shared
+   fingerprint validator accepting a `:`-joined `context` — either one reverted or
+   regressed makes this feed a silent no-op again.
+   Also confirm, separately, that no unrelated Tier-2 SSR authored `console.log` is
+   producing spurious `fp:` entries of its own (ADR §M's known, accepted,
+   bounded residual risk — Slack noise only, not a blocker, but worth a quick look at the
+   Slack channel's actual traffic before trusting this as a clean signal).
+
+**Who flips it**: whoever owns the o11y stack operationally at launch time (the same person
+or team who would triage an `alert-eval-error` or a stale-heartbeat page) — a role, not a
+name fixed here; confirm with the user before the first flip. The
+mechanism is not a `--var` flag pair — both names are already committed config, edited in
+place and redeployed/rebuilt: `SENTRY_SCOPE` is the `"full"` var in
+`workers/api/wrangler.jsonc`, flipped to `"uncaught"` and deployed with the API worker;
+`VITE_SENTRY_SCOPE` is the `full` build-env value in `.github/workflows/master.yml`'s
+authoring build step, flipped to `uncaught` and shipped on the next authoring deploy. Both
+currently read `full`/`"full"` in those two committed files.
+
+### Rollback
+
+- **Drop the export destinations** (Workers Logs → o11y ingest) if the o11y stack itself is
+  the problem — this stops new data from reaching Loki/the inbox without touching the app.
+  **Caveat, unverified:** whether `wrangler deploy` rejects `workers/api/wrangler.jsonc`'s
+  `observability.logs.destinations` once it still names `o11y-logs` but that destination is
+  gone has not been checked — remove that entry from `wrangler.jsonc` before, or together
+  with, deleting the destination.
+- **Revert the `observability` block** (`workers/api/wrangler.jsonc`'s
+  `observability.logs`/`.traces`) to pre-o11y values if the volume itself is the problem —
+  this is a config-only revert, no code change.
+- **The `SENTRY_SCOPE`/`VITE_SENTRY_SCOPE` flip needs no revert plan of its own** (ADR
+  Consequences, and the "Error monitoring" section below repeats this) — it only ever
+  narrows what reaches Sentry, never widens it past what the production gates already allow,
+  so reverting it just means editing the same two committed values (`workers/api/wrangler.jsonc`'s
+  `SENTRY_SCOPE`, `master.yml`'s `VITE_SENTRY_SCOPE` build env) back to `full` and redeploying.
+- The o11y worker and the Grafana box can be torn down entirely (delete the Worker, the
+  Container application, the three R2 buckets) without touching the API worker or authoring
+  app at all — they have no hard dependency in that direction (the API worker's own
+  `env.O11Y` calls degrade to the watchdog's own unreachable-heartbeat path, already
+  live-tested by this task, not a crash).

+//
+// Preconditions (own port block, 5200-5299 — not the shared

+//
+//   1. Local ClickHouse + MinIO (the compose stand-in for Analytics Engine
+//      + the Loki bucket), on this spec's own ports:
+//        COMPOSE_PROJECT_NAME=o11y-t11-e2e \

+//      (`minio` creates its own `loki` bucket via MINIO_DEFAULT_BUCKETS
+//      before its healthcheck goes green; `--wait` blocks on that.)
+//   2. `workers/o11y/.dev.vars` (copy from `.dev.vars.example`, fill in
+//      O11Y_ENV=local, DEV_ADMIN, O11Y_EXPORT_SECRET, SENTRY_HOOK_SECRET,
+//      AE_SQL_TOKEN=local-dev-token, O11Y_LOCAL_MINIO_PORT=5210,

+//      RUNNER_EVENTS_CLICKHOUSE_URL=http://localhost:5212 and
+//      AE_SQL_TOKEN=local-dev-token; PREVIEW_HOST must stay a non-production

+//      real Sentry project).
+//   4. `apps/authoring/vite.config.ts`'s dev proxy is not used here (this
+//      spec builds a real dist and serves it standalone) — instead the
+//      build points `VITE_API_BASE` straight at this spec's API worker,

+//

+// Every input is realistic (a real Babel code frame, a real Tier-2 preview
+// host, a real Chrome user-agent, an OTLP-shaped record with `url.full` and

+// case runs on a field the attribute allowlist would never touch by itself
+// (`meta.page.url`, not `attributes["url.full"]`), so removing the

+Tiers:
+  --tier=1     Authoring app only (builds @handsontable/demo-runtime if its
+               dist is stale, then runs vite for apps/authoring).
+  --tier=2     Tier 1 + the API worker (wrangler dev, Docker containers,
+               local D1 migrations).
+  --tier=full  Tier 2 + the o11y worker, docker compose (minio/clickhouse —
+               the box itself runs through wrangler dev's own container
+               orchestration), telemetry wiring, and the local Slack capture
+               server.
+
+Options:
+  --replay          (--tier=full only) run the OTLP/Faro fixture replay once,
+                    after the o11y worker reports ready. Without this flag,
+                    dev.mjs just prints the replay command.
+  --reset-local-db  (--tier=2 or --tier=full only) delete workers/api's local
+                    D1 state (workers/api/.wrangler/state/v3/d1) and the
+                    applied-migrations record before starting, then run every
+                    migration fresh. Passing this flag IS the confirmation —
+                    it prints what it deleted and does not prompt.
+  --fresh           (--tier=full only) wipe ALL local o11y state together
+                    before starting: docker compose ... down -v for this
+                    project's minio/clickhouse (named volumes — logs and
+                    runner_events) AND workers/o11y/.wrangler/state (the
+                    InboxWriter ledger, dedupe hashes, local R2 inbox
+                    objects). Without --fresh, both are KEPT across a
+                    restart on purpose — see docs/run-and-deploy.md's "Run
+                    locally" section for why they must be wiped together,
+                    never separately (the API worker's D1 is untouched
+                    either way; that's --reset-local-db). Prints exactly
+                    what it removed. pnpm o11y:dev also accepts --fresh,
+                    for just the workers/o11y/.wrangler/state half (it never
+                    runs docker compose itself — see that command's own
+                    startup log for the divergence risk if you've also got
+                    a dev:full compose stack's volumes still holding data
+                    from before).
+  --skip-image-check
+                    (--tier=2 or --tier=full only) skip the pre-flight check
+                    that every container base image (read from each
+                    wrangler.jsonc's own containers[].image Dockerfile,
+                    e.g. cloudflare/sandbox:0.12.3) is present locally,
+                    pulling any that's missing before starting a worker.
+                    Escape hatch for offline use when the images are

+-- was never rolled into D1 (0008's own header comment, and ADR-0042 §5,
