 The localization architecture has two layers that work together automatically. **SDK translations** provide the built-in platform UI components, error messages, and system text. **Project catalogs** contain your domain-specific translations for entities, validation messages, and custom UI components.

+These translation sources merge automatically at runtime. The translation catalogs compile to TypeScript modules that are bundled with the application.
 
 The translation workflow follows a clear pattern: Lingui extracts translatable strings from your code using `msg()` macros and `$msg` syntax, translators work with standard `.po` files for each language, those files compile into TypeScript modules for your application, and the SDK and project catalogs merge into a unified translation system during initialization.
 
 ## Getting Your Project Set Up

+### Choosing the Language
+
+`availableLocales` decides which catalogs the project compiles and ships. The language the configurator shows is chosen separately:
 
-// Automatically merges SDK and project catalogs
-const messages = mergeCatalogs([sdkCatalog, catalog])
+- **Starting language.** The configurator starts in the host's `locale` property (the `locale` attribute of the web component), `en` by default. When it is not in `availableLocales`, the configurator falls back to one that is, as described in [Locale Fallback Configuration](#locale-fallback-configuration).
+- **Language switch.** The toolbar's language button and the menu's language action offer the locales in `applicationConfig.availableLocales` on the root entity (`['en']` without it). Keep that list within the top-level `availableLocales`: picking a locale outside it activates the locale it falls back to, as a starting language does, not the picked one. A project layout builds its own switch with `phx.frontend.useLocaleSwitch()`, see [Configurator Interface → Hooks for a Project Layout](?path=/docs/phoenix-configurator-interface--docs#hooks-for-a-project-layout).

 ### Overriding SDK Translations
 
 You can customize or override any SDK translation by adding the same message ID to your project's `.po` files. The `mergeCatalogs` function prioritizes project translations over SDK translations when merging.

+
+### CLI telemetry
+
+Operational CLI telemetry is enabled by default. Recognized top-level `phoenix` commands send lifecycle events directly to Amplitude's US ingestion endpoint. Current commands record both started and completed events. Legacy commands retain their existing exit behavior, so completion may be absent when they exit directly, including when legacy `dev` stops.
+
+For `phoenix dev`, `cli_dev_server_ready` records that startup finished and the server is listening; it does not prove that a browser connected or the application works. Its `duration_ms` measures startup time. With the current application-spec pipeline, the command stays open until its existing shutdown path emits completion, whose duration covers the whole run. A normal stop is not evidence of abandonment, and a missing completion (for example after a forced kill) means the outcome is unknown.
+
+Aliases are recorded as their canonical command names. Delivery failures never change the command result, and the CLI stops waiting for each delivery after one second.
+
+Before a successful `phoenix login`, telemetry uses only random anonymous identifiers. Failed login attempts remain anonymous. The CLI stores an installation UUID, work-session UUID and last activity time in `~/.phoenix/telemetry.json`; a work session continues while commands occur less than 30 minutes apart.
+
+After a successful login, the login completion and later commands from that installation include the stable authenticated builder user ID. Workspace-bound login also associates its internal workspace UUID; personal login clears that workspace association. Amplitude uses the unchanged installation ID to associate the earlier anonymous command path with that user. A later successful login replaces the stored user and workspace association. The state file never contains a login token, email address, machine fingerprint, project path or project content. Because the installation ID belongs to the operating-system user profile, people who share that profile also share its command history and latest association.
+
+The events contain only:
+
+- schema version, source (`cli`) and command name;
+- unique event and command-attempt IDs;
+- occurrence time, phase, safe outcome/failure category and duration;
+- SDK version, traffic classification (`unknown` before authentication, `general` after it) and work-session ID;
+- after successful login only, the authenticated builder user ID and workspace UUID.
+
+The CLI never sends raw arguments, local paths, environment values, credentials, source/specification content, URLs, free text or raw error messages. The shipped Amplitude ingestion API key is public and only selects the destination project; it grants no read or administrative access. Events sent by a public client can be forged and are observations, not authoritative proof of deployment or server state.
+
+Set `PHOENIX_TELEMETRY_DISABLED=1` to opt out. The opted-out CLI neither sends telemetry nor creates or updates the state file. `PHOENIX_TELEMETRY_FILE` overrides the state path for tests and other isolated environments.

 With the application-spec pipeline, `phoenix dev` creates an empty `src/` folder when the project has none, so that it rebuilds when the first source file, such as `src/webhooks/index.ts`, is added.
 
-With the application-spec pipeline, the SDK's own Lingui CLI runs with the configuration in `.phoenix/.linguirc`, both for `--withLingui` and when `phoenix sync` and `phoenix build` extract and compile the catalogs; see [Root Level Files](?path=/docs/phoenix-project-structure--docs#root-level-files). The dev server and `phoenix build` compile the Lingui macros (`msg`, `t`, `Trans` and the others, imported from `@lingui/core/macro`, `@lingui/react/macro` or `@lingui/macro`) with the SDK's own Lingui macro plugin and the same configuration, so the project needs neither `babel-plugin-macros` nor `@lingui/macro` for them. Babel macros of other packages are not compiled.
+By default, with the application-spec pipeline, `phoenix dev` bootstraps missing compiled catalogs for every configured locale at startup, so a fresh project can start without a prior sync. It compiles existing `.po` translations as they are and extracts a locale only when its `.po` source is also missing. Existing compiled catalogs and `.po` sources stay unchanged. New or changed messages still need `phoenix sync` or continuous updates enabled by `--withLingui` or `WITH_LINGUI=true`.

 ### `phoenix deploy`
 
-Validates the spec, packs and uploads the project, starts its build on the server and follows it until the configurator is live. Before the upload the server compares the domain model with the deployed one: a model that changed under an already deployed model version is refused with the reason, and needs a new model version and a [migration](?path=/docs/phoenix-migrations--docs). Once the build starts it prints `Follow the build in Studio: <url>`, the build's page in the Studio you signed in through; a sign-in stored by an older CLI has no Studio URL, so sign in again to get the link. After `Your configurator is live at <url>` it prints one line for coding agents, which tells them to offer the run evaluation of the `phoenix-feedback` skill once you have nothing more to build; you can ignore it when you run the command yourself. `--region` or `--serverUrl` selects the server, as for `login`; `--no-wait` returns as soon as the build starts.
+Deploys to `project` in `spec/application.yaml` within the workspace selected by `phoenix login`. Omitted or `default` means that workspace's original default project; an explicit slug must belong to the workspace. Deploy does not use the dev command's `--projectSlug` or `PROJECT_SLUG` overrides. After staff move a project, sign in to its new workspace and set its actual slug in the spec. The selected project needs a ready `production` environment. For a nondefault project, the CLI checks server API 1.61.0 or newer before uploading, so an older server cannot silently deploy it to the default project. Studio build links retain the selected project.

+A follow-up evaluation hint is addressed to coding agents; you can ignore it when running the command manually.

+Project-owned records under `.phoenix/workspace/` and client documents under `docs/`, such as the
+rendered specification PDFs, are included in the private source archive and can be downloaded with
+the build's sources; deploy reports how many `docs/` files it includes. Local sync, build and clean
+keep both. The build extractor leaves them out, so
+they are not application build inputs or public assets. They use the archive's existing size limits
+and exclusions for dependencies, generated files, environment files and macOS metadata. The
+`.phoenix`, `.phoenix/workspace` and `docs` paths must be real directories, and linked or special
+files are rejected. Keep their contents suitable for everyone authorized to download the sources.
 
 To keep the conversation that led to a build, place a reviewed UTF-8 transcript in `conversation.log` at the project root before deploying. Deploy automatically includes it in the private source archive. Download the build's sources from Studio to read it; access is the same as for the rest of that build's sources. The build extractor skips the log, so it is not an application build input or a public asset. Missing logs produce a warning and deployment continues. Directories, links and special files at that path are rejected.
 
-The Phoenix agent skill explains how to prepare the transcript: prefer a native session export; otherwise mark a reconstruction as incomplete. Preserve available user/assistant messages and tool calls, cap individual tool results at 16 KiB with explicit truncation markers, and reference images rather than embedding them. Include the agent, export time, source and known omissions. Review and redact credentials or unrelated sensitive content before approving upload. The CLI uploads the file as supplied; it does not collect agent history, redact content, check freshness or verify completeness. Remove the file from the project root to deploy without it. The log counts toward the source archive's existing size limits; there is no separate conversation upload or viewer.

 A message holds at most 100,000 characters, from the argument or from the file. Besides the message and the flags, the CLI sends only the SDK version, the operating system and the Node.js version; no file of the project is attached, and the Phoenix team reads a build's sources through the build's page in Studio. The project must belong to the signed-in workspace, otherwise the server refuses the feedback; without a project, the feedback is sent on its own.
 
-Generated projects carry the `phoenix-feedback` agent skill. It tells coding agents when to draft feedback, to show you the draft and send it only after you approve it, and how to write a report: the build id with its Studio page link, the live configurator link, what the agent was doing, what happened and what was expected, the exact error or output, the workaround and a condensed conversation log. When you say you are done, or a deploy went live and you confirm the run is finished, the agent asks you to evaluate the run, one question at a time: minutes spent, then a score from 0 to 10 for the agent's guidance, the configurator's functionality, its UX, the quality of the 3D, the UI visuals and the overall result, then your comments. It never picks a score for you and sends nothing when you decline. Secrets, credentials and personal data never go into a message; file paths, spec and code snippets and your own words may, once you approved the draft that contains them. The command needs a server with API 1.40.0 or newer; a message over 5000 characters needs API 1.43.0 or newer.
