Adds Maple browser tracing to the site, following the `maple-frontend-tracing` skill's Astro reference.

  • `@maple-dev/browser` + `@opentelemetry/api` added.
  • `site/lib/maple.ts`: `MapleBrowser.init` (service `semconv-web`, US region).
  • `site/lib/tracing.ts`: the skill's navigation helper, copied verbatim apart from the tracer name.
  • `site/layouts/Shell.astro`: `data-route={Astro.routePattern}` on `` and one bundled script that opens a `pageload ` span per document (e.g. `pageload /attributes/[id]`). The `astro:*` listeners are inert today (no ``, no islands) and take over if either is added.

    What it does not do:

    • No server side: the site is static output, so there is no render to join; each `pageload` starts its own trace. The `/mcp` Worker is not called from the browser.
    • No `propagateTraceHeaderCorsUrls`: the only requests the pages make are same-origin `/api/*.json` asset fetches.

    Decisions:

    • The ingest key is the `MAPLE_TEST` sentinel (ingest accepts it and stores nothing). Replace it in `site/lib/maple.ts` with the public `maple_pk_…` key from Settings → Ingestion before data will show up.
    • No `serviceVersion`: the build has no commit SHA in its env (deploys run `bun run deploy` locally).
    • Session replay is on with inputs masked, and the SDK keeps a visitor id in localStorage and a cookie. Turn off with `replay: { enabled: false }` / `privacy: { persistVisitorId: false }` if that does not fit the site.

    Smoke checklist (production build + `astro preview`):

    • `/v1/traces` requests to `https://ingest.maple.dev\` return 200 (401 = wrong key or region).
    • A reload gives one `pageload ` span, never a bare `pageload`.
    • `/search` and `/diff` fetches carry `traceparent` and appear as `fetch` spans.

      Summary by CodeRabbit

      • New Features
        • Added browser-side tracing for initial page loads, client-side navigation, page requests, and asynchronous operations.
        • Captured hydration errors and navigation failures to provide more visibility into issues encountered while browsing.
        • Navigation traces can include server trace context when available.

Every page load is a pageload span named after its route template
(pageload /attributes/[id]), with the same-origin /api/*.json fetches and
uncaught errors under the same service. Session replay is on with inputs
masked. The ingest key is the MAPLE_TEST sentinel until the public key is
swapped in.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The site initializes Maple browser telemetry and records document and Astro client-navigation spans. Tracing utilities manage navigation spans, parent async spans to active navigation context, capture selected errors, and read server trace context.

Changes

Browser tracing

Layer / File(s) Summary
Browser telemetry setup
package.json, site/lib/maple.ts
Adds browser telemetry dependencies and initializes MapleBrowser with an ingest key, service name, region, and environment.
Navigation and async span lifecycle
site/lib/tracing.ts
Adds utilities to start and end navigation spans, trace asynchronous operations, record selected errors, and retrieve server trace context.
Astro navigation integration
site/layouts/Shell.astro
Adds the route template to the root element and connects document loads, Astro client navigation, and hydration errors to tracing.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to fa4ac

The site now sends browser tracing data, but it uses a placeholder key, so no traces or replays will be stored until a real public key is configured. Site behavior is otherwise unaffected. Swap in the real key before relying on the telemetry.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to fa4ac

Browser tracing is added to pages using the shared layout. The proposed replay and visitor-identification behavior needs a privacy decision before live ingestion is enabled. The current test key is reported to discard ingested events.

Retained concerns

  • Medium · security · inferred: The shared layout enables an external telemetry SDK without explicit replay or visitor-ID controls in its initialization. The PR states that replay and persistent identification are enabled by default; replacing the test ingest key would activate storage of navigation data under those defaults. Their masking and retention boundaries remain unverified.
Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The new boundary covers visits to pages rendered with Shell. It can carry browser-controlled pathnames and, if applicable, hydration errors to the telemetry SDK; a live key would increase the consequence of that collection.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

  • inferred — No verified exploit path was supplied. The material exposure is collection of visitor navigation and potentially replay data at a third-party boundary; MAPLE_TEST is reported to prevent stored ingestion in the current configuration.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • observed — The SDK initialization specifies a test ingest key, US region, service name, and environment, but no explicit replay or visitor-ID settings. Route-template naming does not remove the raw pathname supplied as a span attribute.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • inferred — If client navigation is enabled later, an aborted or rejected loader may leave the current navigation span pending until a subsequent load or navigation. Whether Astro emits another cleanup event in those cases is unverified; the PR states those listeners are inert today.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — Before switching to a live key, explicitly decide replay and visitor-ID settings, verify what page content the SDK masks, and establish retention expectations for exported data.
  • proposed — Before adding client routing, verify Astro's cancellation and rejection lifecycle and make navigation-span cleanup explicit where no completion event is guaranteed.

Replace the test ingest key before deployment.

MAPLE_TEST lets ingest requests succeed but discards their telemetry. A deployment with this value will show no stored page-load spans, fetch spans, or replays. Configure a public maple_pk_… key before releasing the tracing feature. (maple.dev)

Intentional for now: the public key isn't in this PR yet, so the sentinel keeps ingest requests valid until it is swapped in. Called out in the PR description as a pre-deploy step.

@JeremyFunk, thanks for clarifying. MAPLE_TEST is intentional in this PR, and the PR description identifies the key swap as a pre-deploy step. The finding remains open because deployed telemetry will not be stored until a public maple_pk_… key replaces the sentinel.
