Removes Sentry tracing entirely (BullMQ idle polling burned 4.8M transactions in 2 days at the baked 0.1 rate), decouples PostHog sampling, and replaces the type-only error scrub with a vetted-field sanitizer plus SafeError/ToolInputError contracts. One classified capture path with per-signature throttles and a per-process ceiling makes storms impossible (NODE-1E was 4,541 events from one 30s loop). Browser errors move to a dedicated web Sentry project with their own source maps. Adds the SNAPOTTER_TELEMETRY runtime kill switch and silences test fleets.
Crash fixes: remote 204/304 SSRF process kill (NODE-20), conversion-preset boot crash loop (NODE-21), Redis version preflight + unhandled subscribe rejection (NODE-1T), Sign PDF on plain-http origins (NODE-1K/1M), wavesurfer/pdf.js teardown rejections (NODE-1P/1N), bundle-import ZlibError to 400 (NODE-1Z), chart-maker input errors declassified (NODE-1H/1J), asset requests skip the session DB lookup (NODE-1D).
Server stops phoning Sentry home after opt-out (release-health sessions + client reports off); settings saves diff-send only changed keys so a stale tab cannot revert an instance-wide opt-out; disabling analytics hides the feedback UI immediately; optIn resumes PostHog after re-enable; onboarding survey writes time out at 15s; inline tool-feedback prompt arms a shown-cooldown.
