+### Automatic diagnostic reports
+
+- Failures now send the redacted diagnostic report on their own: project recovery, renderer crash, failed update, pairing give-up, and stuck machine publish.
+- Every automatic send announces itself with a message offering View (read the exact report) and Turn off (stop future sends).
+- On by default, with a Diagnostics sharing section in Settings and a truthful row in `ade doctor`; turning it off takes effect immediately across the app and the CLI.
+- Budgets bound the volume: one report per failure kind per day and a small daily cap per machine, plus a fleet-wide server ceiling that refuses quietly rather than surfacing an error.
+- Reports carry the same redaction as the manual report, and a refused or failed send is never shown to the user as a failure.

+## Automatic diagnostic reports
+
+- **Failures report themselves.** When a project cannot be opened, the app crashes, an update fails, pairing gives up, or a machine gets stuck publishing, ADE sends the same redacted report you could already send by hand — without you having to notice, remember, or ask.
+- **You are told every time, and can stop it in one click.** A short message says a report was sent, with **View** to read exactly what left your machine and **Turn off** to stop future ones.
+- **On by default, off in one click.** Settings has a Diagnostics sharing section, and `ade doctor` shows whether sharing is on. Turning it off applies immediately, everywhere.
+- **Nothing is sent twice.** Each kind of failure sends at most one report a day, with a small daily cap per machine, so a crash loop cannot flood anything.
+- **The same redaction as the manual report.** Paths, tokens, and personal detail are stripped before anything is sent.
