+# MemoryLink Telemetry - Next Steps Plan
+
+**Date**: 2025-12-20  
+**Status**: Design Validated ✅  
+**Current Phase**: Local Testing & Validation
+
+---
+
+## 🎯 Overview
+
+The telemetry system design has been validated by Perplexity AI. We're now moving to the **local testing phase** before implementing remote sending in v1.6.
+
+---
+
+## Phase 1: Local Testing & Validation (Now → v1.6)
+
+### Step 1: Enable Telemetry Locally
+
+**Action**: Enable telemetry in your local MemoryLink config
+
+```bash
+# Edit .memorylink/config.json
+{
+  "telemetry": {
+    "enabled": true
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**Test Commands**:
+```bash
+# Test stats command (wired for telemetry)
+memorylink stats
+
+# Test internal telemetry command
+memorylink telemetry-test
+
+# View telemetry log
+cat .memorylink/telemetry.log
+```
+
+### Step 2: Review Telemetry Log
+
+**Checklist**:
+- [ ] Verify no file paths are included
+- [ ] Verify no code snippets are included
+- [ ] Verify no secrets or PII are included
+- [ ] Verify no stack traces are included
+- [ ] Verify only safe, high-level data is present
+- [ ] Verify event structure matches `TelemetryEvent` interface
+
+**Review Frequency**: After each test session
+
+### Step 3: Write Unit Tests
+
+**Create**: `src/telemetry.test.ts` (or similar)
+
+**Test Cases**:
+1. `TelemetryEvent` construction with valid data
+2. `TelemetryEvent` construction with forbidden fields (should fail at type level)
+3. `getErrorKind()` returns only safe error categories
+4. `recordEvent()` silently fails when telemetry is disabled
+5. `recordEvent()` logs locally when enabled
+6. No sensitive data can be added to events
+
+**Example Test**:
+```typescript
+import { recordEvent, getErrorKind } from './telemetry.js';
+
+test('getErrorKind returns only safe categories', () => {
+  const err = new Error('File not found: /path/to/secret.txt');
+  const kind = getErrorKind(err);
+  // Should return 'FILE_NOT_FOUND', not include path
+  expect(kind).toBe('FILE_NOT_FOUND');
+  expect(kind).not.toContain('/path/to/secret.txt');
+});
+```
+
+### Step 4: Document Findings
+
+**Create**: `TELEMETRY_TESTING_NOTES.md`
+
+**Document**:
+- Patterns observed in local telemetry logs
+- Any edge cases discovered
+- Suggestions for additional error categories (if needed)
+- Performance observations
+- Privacy compliance verification
+
+---
+
+## Phase 2: v1.6 Remote Implementation
+
+### Step 1: Implement Minimal HTTP POST
+
+**File**: `src/telemetry.ts`
+
+**Implementation**:
+```typescript
+async function sendTelemetryEvent(
+  event: TelemetryEvent,
+  endpoint: string,
+  apiKey: string | null
+): Promise<void> {
+  try {
+    const headers: Record<string, string> = {
+      'Content-Type': 'application/json',
+    };
+    
+    if (apiKey) {
+      headers['Authorization'] = `Bearer ${apiKey}`;
+    }
+    
+    const controller = new AbortController();
+    const timeoutId = setTimeout(() => controller.abort(), 2000); // 2 second timeout
+    
+    const response = await fetch(endpoint, {
+      method: 'POST',
+      headers,
+      body: JSON.stringify(event), // Single event
+      signal: controller.signal,
+    });
+    
+    clearTimeout(timeoutId);
+    
+    if (!response.ok) {
+      // Silent drop - don't throw, don't retry
+      return;
+    }
+  } catch (err) {
+    // Silent drop on network error - don't throw, don't retry
+    return;
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**Key Requirements**:
+- Single event per request (no batching initially)
+- 1-2 second timeout
+- Silent drop on failure (no retries)
+- Never throws (non-blocking)
+
+### Step 2: Wire Remote Sending
+
+**Update**: `src/telemetry.ts` - `recordEvent()` function
+
+**Change**:
+```typescript
+// v1.6+: If endpoint is configured, send via HTTP POST
+if (config.endpoint) {
+  await sendTelemetryEvent(completeEvent, config.endpoint, config.apiKey);
+}
+```
+
+**Note**: Only send if `telemetry.endpoint` is configured (still opt-in)
+
+### Step 3: Update Documentation
+
+**Update**: `TELEMETRY.md`
+
+**Add**:
+- Remote sending configuration instructions
+- Endpoint requirements
+- API key setup (optional)
+- Privacy guarantees (still enforced)
+- Troubleshooting section
+
+### Step 4: Test Remote Sending
+
+**Test Setup**:
+1. Set up test endpoint (e.g., local server or test service)
+2. Configure `telemetry.endpoint` in config
+3. Run test commands
+4. Verify events are received
+5. Verify no sensitive data is sent
+
+**Test Commands**:
+```bash
+# Enable remote telemetry
+# Edit .memorylink/config.json:
+{
+  "telemetry": {
+    "enabled": true,
+    "endpoint": "https://your-test-endpoint.com/telemetry",
+    "apiKey": "optional-test-key"
+  }
+}
+
+# Test
+memorylink stats
+memorylink telemetry-test
+
+# Verify events received at endpoint
+```
+
+---
+
+## Phase 3: Future Enhancements (If Needed)
+
+### Only Add If Value Is Demonstrated
+
+**Potential Enhancements**:
+1. **Persistent Queue**: If endpoint downtime is an issue
+2. **Event Batching**: If event volume becomes significant
+3. **Retry Logic**: If transient failures are common
+4. **Additional Error Categories**: Based on real-world patterns
+
+**Decision Criteria**:
+- Add only if local telemetry shows clear need
+- Add only if it doesn't compromise privacy guarantees
+- Add only if it doesn't impact performance
+
+---

+
+---
+
+## 📊 Patterns Observed
+
+### Error Categories
+
+**Categories Used**:
+- `NOT_INITIALIZED` - Used in test error event
+
+**Frequency**:
+- Success events: 3
+- Error events: 1
+- Error category used: `NOT_INITIALIZED` (1 time)
+
+### Event Structure
+
+**Typical Event**:
+```json
+{
+  "command": "stats",
+  "result": "success",
+  "exitCode": 0,
+  "memorylinkVersion": "1.5.1",
+  "nodeVersion": "v24.8.0",
+  "os": "darwin",
+  "isGitRepo": false,
+  "hasConfig": true,
+  "timestamp": "2025-12-20T06:35:16.269Z",
+  "flags": {
+    "format": "default",
+    "noRecommendations": false
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**Key Observations**:
+- All events follow consistent structure
+- Flags are properly included when present
+- Timestamps are ISO 8601 format
+- Environment data (OS, Node version) is consistent
+- Boolean flags (`isGitRepo`, `hasConfig`) work correctly
+
+---
+
+## 🐛 Issues Found
+
+**None** - All tests passed successfully.
+
+---
+
+## 💡 Suggestions for Improvement
+
+### Suggestion 1: Add More Error Categories (Future)
+
+**Description**: As we use telemetry more, we may discover additional error patterns that need categorization.  
+**Priority**: Low  
+**Status**: Deferred to v1.6+ based on real-world usage
+
+### Suggestion 2: Event Batching (Future)
+
+**Description**: If event volume becomes significant, consider batching events for remote sending.  
+**Priority**: Low  
+**Status**: Deferred - only add if value is demonstrated
+
+---
+
+## ✅ Next Steps
+
+### Phase 1 Complete ✅
+- [x] Run local telemetry tests
+- [x] Review telemetry logs manually
+- [x] Verify privacy compliance
+- [x] Document all findings
+
+### Phase 2: v1.6 Remote Implementation
+- [ ] Implement minimal HTTP POST in `sendTelemetryEvent()`
+- [ ] Add timeout handling (1-2 seconds)
+- [ ] Add optional `apiKey` header support
+- [ ] Ensure silent failure (no retries initially)
+- [ ] Update `TELEMETRY.md` with remote sending details
+- [ ] Test remote sending with test endpoint
+
+---
+
