Custom telemetry namespace (TelemetryOptions)

Problem: redhat.telemetry.enabled was the only way to gate telemetry in this library. Extensions with their own telemetry pipeline had no way to control it independently their setting was always tied to the Red Hat namespace.

Solution: getRedHatService() now accepts an optional TelemetryOptions second argument. When a caller supplies telemetryNamespace, the library uses <namespace>.telemetry.enabled as the sole gate for that pipeline. The two pipelines are fully independent — neither setting affects the other.


What changed

New TelemetryOptions interface (src/common/api/telemetryOptions.ts)
Four optional fields: telemetryNamespace, optInMessage, privacyStatementUrl, optOutInstructionsUrl

New CustomVSCodeSettings class (src/common/vscode/settings.ts)
Reads/writes <namespace>.telemetry.enabled only. Refactored the shared VS Code level logic into a standalone getVSCodeTelemetryLevel() function used by both settings classes.

AbstractRedHatServiceProvider wired up (src/common/vscode/redhatServiceInitializer.ts)
Constructor now accepts options?: TelemetryOptions and selects CustomVSCodeSettings or VSCodeSettings accordingly. The settings field is retyped to TelemetrySettings (interface) rather than the concrete class.

Config watcher scoped to the right namespace
onDidChangeTelemetryEnabled now accepts an optional configNamespace. When a custom namespace is active, it watches only that namespace and ignores both redhat.telemetry and the global telemetry section. Default behavior (watch both) is unchanged when no namespace is passed.

Per-namespace opt-in lock file
The popup lock file is <namespace>.optin.json when a custom namespace is active, redhat.optin.json otherwise. This prevents opt-in dialogs from interfering across pipelines.

Configurable dialog text
buildOptInMessage() (extracted, exported for testing) builds the opt-in dialog string from options.optInMessage, options.privacyStatementUrl, and options.optOutInstructionsUrl, falling back to the Red Hat defaults for any omitted field.

getRedHatService() signature updated in both entry points
src/node/index.ts and src/webworker/index.ts each accept options?: TelemetryOptions and forward it to their provider constructors. TelemetryOptions is re-exported from all three entry points (src/index.ts, src/node/index.ts, src/webworker/index.ts).

TelemetrySettings interface extended
Added updateTelemetryEnabledConfig(value: boolean): Thenable<void> so the dialog's accept/deny handler can write through the interface without knowing which settings class is active.


Tests

src/tests/vscode/customVSCodeSettings.test.ts — covers isTelemetryEnabled, isTelemetryConfigured, updateTelemetryEnabledConfig, and confirms the custom namespace is unaffected by redhat.telemetry.enabled or a global telemetryLevel: off.

src/tests/vscode/redhatServiceInitializer.test.ts — covers onDidChangeTelemetryEnabled (custom namespace fires only on its own config change; default behavior preserved) and buildOptInMessage (custom text, custom URLs, fallback to Red Hat defaults).


Downstream usage requirement

Callers must declare <namespace>.telemetry.enabled as a boolean in contributes.configuration in their package.json. If they omit it, VS Code returns undefined for the key, which defaults to false and silently disables the pipeline.


No breaking changes

When options is not passed, every code path falls through to the existing behavior. No existing callers need to change.

…essage

- Add customEnablementParam and customOptInMessage options to TelemetryOptions
- Fix custom namespace telemetry incorrectly ignoring VS Code global telemetryLevel
- Refactor: remove instanceof leak, deduplicate config calls, remove magic strings
- Add missing CustomVSCodeSettings import in redhatServiceInitializer
…isTelemetryConfigured

- Add getTelemetryLevel() suite: standard VS Code client, Codium privacy default,
  telemetry.telemetryLevel override, legacy enableTelemetry/enableCrashReporter flags
- Add isTelemetryConfigured() cases for all six VS Code scope values
  (workspaceValue, workspaceFolderValue, globalLanguageValue,
  workspaceLanguageValue, workspaceFolderLanguageValue)
- Use vi.hoisted() for mockEnv so the vi.mock factory can reference it
- Move mockEnv restore to afterEach to guard against mid-test throws

Walkthrough

The PR adds TelemetryOptions for independent telemetry namespaces. It adds namespace-scoped VS Code settings, provider wiring, opt-in message handling, tests, and README documentation.

Changes

Custom telemetry namespace

Layer / File(s) Summary
Namespace settings and public options
src/common/api/..., src/common/vscode/settings.ts, src/tests/vscode/customVSCodeSettings.test.ts
The public API defines custom telemetry options. CustomVSCodeSettings reads, validates, and updates namespace-specific preferences.
Provider integration and opt-in flow
src/index.ts, src/node/index.ts, src/webworker/index.ts, src/common/vscode/redhatServiceInitializer.ts
Service entry points forward options. The provider selects namespace settings, filters configuration changes, names lock files, builds opt-in messages, and logs rejected dialog tasks.
Behavior validation and documentation
src/tests/vscode/redhatServiceInitializer.test.ts, README.md
Tests cover configuration listeners, opt-in message construction, URL handling, and validation. The README documents package configuration, API usage, namespace behavior, and disclosure requirements.

CustomVSCodeSettings.isTelemetryEnabled() does not check getTelemetryLevel() != "off", unlike VSCodeSettings. This means if a user sets telemetry.telemetryLevel: off in VS Code (the system-wide "do not track me" signal), the custom pipeline ignores it and keeps sending data.

The getTelemetryLevel() method is already on this class and returns the correct global value — it is just not consulted in isTelemetryEnabled().

Either:

  1. Gate on the global level here too (like VSCodeSettings does): return getVSCodeTelemetryLevel() !== 'off' && ...
  2. Or add an explicit opt-out flag to TelemetryOptions (e.g. ignoreGlobalTelemetryLevel?: boolean) so callers consciously choose to bypass it

Commit b1ea852 fixed the CodeRabbit URL-construction comment but introduced a throw path. new URL(privacyUrl) throws TypeError for relative URLs or malformed strings (e.g. privacyStatementUrl: '/privacy'). Since openTelemetryOptInDialogIfNeeded() is fire-and-forget (line 77, no await), this becomes an unhandled promise rejection that can crash the extension host.

Wrap in try/catch and fall back to string concatenation, or validate the URL early in the constructor.

const optOutUrl = options?.optOutInstructionsUrl ?? OPT_OUT_INSTRUCTIONS_URL;
const privacyUrlWithFrom = new URL(privacyUrl);
privacyUrlWithFrom.searchParams.set('from', extensionId);

When telemetryNamespace is provided but optInMessage is omitted, this falls back to "Help Red Hat improve its extensions..." — which is misleading for non-Red Hat consumers.

For example { telemetryNamespace: 'ibm', privacyStatementUrl: 'https://ibm.com/privacy' } produces a dialog saying "Help Red Hat improve" with an IBM privacy link.

Consider either:

  1. Requiring optInMessage when telemetryNamespace is set (throw or log a warning if absent)
  2. Making the brand name a TelemetryOptions field so the default message can use it

No validation on telemetryNamespace. An empty string produces malformed config keys (.telemetry.enabled, section .telemetry). A guard like if (!telemetryNamespace) throw ... in the constructor would prevent silent misbehavior.

- CustomVSCodeSettings.isTelemetryEnabled() now checks getTelemetryLevel() !== 'off'
  so the VS Code global opt-out is honoured; ignoreGlobalTelemetryLevel flag allows
  callers to bypass this when they have their own opt-out mechanism
- Throw in CustomVSCodeSettings constructor when telemetryNamespace is empty to
  prevent malformed config keys (.telemetry.enabled, .telemetry.*)
- Wrap new URL() in buildOptInMessage in try/catch to handle relative or malformed
  privacyStatementUrl values without crashing the extension host
- Throw in buildOptInMessage when telemetryNamespace is set but optInMessage is
  absent, preventing Red Hat branding from appearing in third-party extensions

Signed-off-by: Ryan Golden <rpgolden@us.ibm.com>
Correct the optInMessage row to reflect that omitting it when
telemetryNamespace is set now throws rather than falling back
to the Red Hat default message. Also clarify the code comment
in the example to mark optInMessage as required in that context.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Reject an empty telemetryNamespace before selecting settings.

An empty string currently takes the default settings path because the provider checks truthiness, so a caller intending a custom pipeline silently reads redhat.telemetry.enabled and uses the default opt-in behavior instead of failing validation. Treat a defined namespace as custom and reject empty values before provider selection; add regression coverage for the empty-string case.

When VS Code exits while the opt-in dialog is open, the lock file is not
cleaned up. On the next launch the stale lock's sessionId differs from
the current session, causing the dialog to be skipped permanently.

Split the session/owner check so a mismatched sessionId deletes the
stale lock and re-acquires it, while a mismatched owner (same session,
different extension) still bails as before.

Custom optInMessage values were returned verbatim, omitting the privacy
statement and opt-out links that always appear in the default message.

- Always build the suffix from privacyStatementUrl/optOutInstructionsUrl
  (falling back to Red Hat defaults) and append it to both default and
  custom messages.
- Extend the telemetryNamespace validation to also require
  privacyStatementUrl and optOutInstructionsUrl, since the defaults use
  Red Hat branding which is incorrect for third-party consumers.
