feat(analytics): first-touch attribution capture + consent_choice event - #4572
Conversation
- capture first-touch attribution (referrer, landing path, utm params) once per session in sessionStorage — no cookies, no persistent id - attach the captured attribution to the signup payload when present - emit a consent_choice event on analytics consent accept (decline cannot emit while opted out — documented in tests) - boot-time plugin registered before the router so the true landing URL is captured Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_015AXhHayqcLntuU3AbX7No8
…cation mock in tests - getAttribution() now whitelists the 7 wire keys, drops non-strings, re-applies trim + length caps — a tampered sessionStorage record can no longer 422-block signup at the strict backend schema - attribution tests restore the real jsdom Location in afterEach (was leaking a plain-object mock to subsequent test files) Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_015AXhHayqcLntuU3AbX7No8
A landing URL like /signup?inviteToken=... was duplicating the token into stored attribution (flagged independently by two reviewers). Params whose key matches token/secret/password/code/key are removed before capture; utm params are unaffected. Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_015AXhHayqcLntuU3AbX7No8
WalkthroughThe application captures sanitized first-touch attribution in sessionStorage, registers capture during startup, and includes available attribution in signup payloads. Consent acceptance emits a ChangesFirst-touch attribution
Consent choice analytics
Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to The attribution change can still forward credential-bearing URL values in signup requests, creating a concrete sensitive-data exposure; browser-storage failures and consent-event persistence also have bounded privacy or availability implications. Merge should wait for these fixes. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

Blocked, staying draft. E2E is red: UI signup 422s with `Unrecognized key: attribution` — Node `master`'s `SignupUser` Zod schema is `.strict()` and does not yet declare `attribution`. CI checks out Node at `master` (`vars.E2E_NODE_REF || 'master'`). The accepting schema change ships in the companion backend PR: pierreb-devkit/Node#4024 (issue #4003), currently OPEN / CHANGES_REQUESTED, not yet merged. Nothing in this PR needs to change — this is a sequencing dependency, not a bug here. Unblocks once Node#4024 merges (or CI is pointed at its branch for a re-run). Leaving in draft until then per the ordering invariant (CodeRabbit never reviews a draft; entering the review loop while E2E-red-for-an-external-reason would be a false read). |

Companion Node PR #4024 (schema producer) is merged to master — E2E blocker lifted, resuming convergence. |

In `@src/lib/helpers/attribution.js`:
- Around line 100-104: Update the cross-origin referrer handling around
isSameOrigin and trimAndCap to parse the referrer, apply the existing
query-parameter sanitization before persistence, and then cap the sanitized URL.
If parsing fails, discard the referrer rather than storing the raw value;
preserve the current behavior for same-origin or empty referrers.
- Around line 86-88: Remove undocumented callback functions: in
src/lib/helpers/attribution.js at lines 86-88, 110-113, and 128-131, replace
each callback with a for...of loop or add complete JSDoc. In
src/lib/plugins/tests/attribution.unit.tests.js lines 4-6 and
src/modules/auth/tests/auth.store.unit.tests.js lines 42-44, use the mock
directly and add complete JSDoc to any remaining mock factory.
- Around line 45-47: Update isBrowser so accessing sessionStorage is guarded
against a throwing global getter, returning false when access fails and
preserving normal browser detection otherwise; add coverage verifying callers
silently no-op when that access throws.
In `@src/main.js`:
- Line 26: Remove the attribution plugin registration from the stack-managed
src/main.js entry, and add it to the project-owned startup entry that executes
before routing. Preserve the existing attribution behavior and ensure the plugin
is registered exactly once in that startup flow.
In `@src/modules/legal/composables/useCookieConsent.js`:
- Around line 116-121: Update the accepted branch around opt_in_capturing() and
ph.capture('consent_choice', { accepted: true }) so consent_choice is sent
through a cookieless, anonymous transport. Use a separate isolated memory-only
client or equivalent transport with no persisted identity, while preserving the
existing consent opt-in flow for subsequent captures.

…uery params isBrowser() accessed sessionStorage outside its callers' try/catch, so a throwing global getter (sandboxed iframe / storage partitioning policy) would surface as an uncaught exception instead of a silent no-op. Wrap the access in isBrowser() itself. The cross-origin referrer was stored as-is: a partner URL like `https://x.example/reset?token=...` would persist its raw query string in sessionStorage and later ride along in the signup payload, even though landingPath already strips the same sensitive params. Apply the existing stripSensitiveParams filter to the parsed referrer too, and drop referrers that fail to parse instead of storing them unchanged.

…date ordering note (#4584) FIX 1: the attribution plugin (src/lib/plugins/attribution.js) captured first-touch data unconditionally, shipping the attribution key on every signup even when PostHog analytics is unconfigured. The plan required the feature to be inert without a configured posthog key ("no key → no capture, no signup payload attach"). install(app) now mirrors the sibling posthog.js gating pattern: reads app.config.globalProperties.config?.analytics?.posthog and no-ops unless phConfig?.key is set. Plugin unit tests extended to cover key-present (captures), key-absent, null config, and undefined config (does not capture). FIX 2: added a MIGRATIONS.md entry documenting the required absorption order for the attribution feature — downstream must absorb Node PR #4024 (signup attribution schema) before Vue PR #4572. An older Node stack's SignupUser schema is .strict() and rejects the unknown attribution key, so absorbing Vue first breaks every local signup with a 422 until Node lands. Documents FIX 1's gate as the mitigating condition: with analytics unconfigured the client never attaches attribution, so only analytics-enabled downstreams are exposed to the ordering hazard.

Summary
sessionStorageonly — no cookies, no persistent identifier. The record is sanitized again at read time (key whitelist + value caps) and credential-carrying query params (token/secret/password/code/key) are stripped from the landing path before it is ever stored. When a record exists, it is attached to the signup payload. Aconsent_choiceevent is emitted on cookie-consent accept.Scope

sessionStorageonly (never cookies/localStorage, no persistent identifier). The stored record is re-sanitized at read time against a key whitelist with value caps, and query params matchingtoken/secret/password/code/keyare stripped from the landing path before storage, closing a token-leak path an earlier commit fixed after review.consent_choiceintentionally does not fire on decline. PostHog is opt-out-by-default, so emitting the event on decline would require an opt-in step that writes its own persistent flag — which would weaken the consent gate this PR is trying to keep clean. Only the accept path emitsconsent_choice.cookieless_mode) requires a toggle on the PostHog project dashboard, which is a product/infra decision outside the scope of this PR.Reviewer status prior to opening: kimi pre-push gate OK-with-nits (2 iterations, nits addressed), security pass found no HIGH/MEDIUM findings, full unit suite green.
