Changes

Remove PostHog usage analytics that collected anonymous data on application builds, execution calls, and CLI commands. ASF projects should not phone home. The burr.telemetry module is kept as a no-op stub (disable_telemetry, is_telemetry_enabled) so existing user code that disables telemetry will not break.

How I tested this

  • unit tests

Notes

Checklist

  • PR has an informative and human-readable title (this will be pulled into the release notes)
  • Changes are limited to a single goal (no scope creep)
  • Code passed the pre-commit check & code is left cleaner/nicer than when first encountered.
  • Any change in functionality is tested
  • New functions are documented (with a description, list of inputs, and expected output)
  • Placeholder code is flagged / future TODOs are captured in comments
  • Project documentation has been updated if adding/changing functionality.
