Summary (AI generated)

  • Convert channel add missing API key to CliUserError so it is filtered from PostHog exception capture
  • Rebased onto latest main; channel-create API failures stay plain Error with formatted API bodies (duplicate recovery + PostHog observability unchanged)
  • Extend PostHog tests to assert channel-create RBAC/duplicate failures remain captured; add formatCapgoCliInvokeError coverage

Motivation (AI generated)

PostHog issue channel add unhandled_error highlighted noisy tracking for expected CLI states. Review feedback confirmed channel-creation RBAC/duplicate failures must stay observable in error tracking — only missing API key should become CliUserError.

Business Impact (AI generated)

Keeps error tracking signal for real channel-create failures while silencing the common missing-key configuration state. Aligns with duplicate-channel recovery shipped on main.

Test Plan (AI generated)

  • bun run lint (cli)
  • bun run test:posthog-exception
  • bun run test:init-app-conflict
  • bun run test:channel-add-exists
  • CI: Run Capgo CLI integration tests (pass — https://github.com/Cap-go/capgo.app/actions/runs/32851500650/job/97813355613)
  • CI: full test matrix green (0 fail, 0 pending)
  • CodeRabbit APPROVED (blocked on org rate limit — awaiting @coderabbitai approve / on-demand review)

Channel creation now uses CliUserError for missing API keys. Tests cover duplicate-channel detection, duplicate accessibility, exception capture, infrastructure fingerprints, and 403 response formatting.

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 7a9b9

This PR treats a missing API key as an expected CLI error while keeping channel-creation RBAC and duplicate failures reportable. It is mergeable with explicit owner awareness because the duplicate-error observability test does not exercise the actual channel-creation duplicate path, leaving a bounded regression risk.

Closing: Martin’s direction is not to silence these as CliUserError / skip PostHog capture. Keep tracking real user failures and fix success paths (auto-detect, prompt to create/fix, inject missing pieces) so users complete the flow. Will reopen as success-path PRs where we have a clear product fix.

Do not merge — Martin rejected CliUserError-only silencing. Keep PostHog tracking for these user failures; prefer success-path fixes (auto-detect / prompt / inject) so users complete the flow. Replacement work in flight for notifyAppReady/public key/appId; same direction for the rest of this batch (#3175#3182 CliUserError PRs).

Rebased onto latest main and addressed the open thread: channel-create API failures remain plain Error (PostHog capture preserved for 403/409). Only missing API key uses CliUserError. Tests updated accordingly.

Holding as draft — not a merge candidate.

Martin rejected CliUserError / shouldCapturePosthogException silencing for expected config failures (2026-08-23). Same batch direction as #3181 / #3175#3182: keep PostHog tracking and fix success paths, do not merge silencing PRs.

Jose can decide close vs success-path rewrite.
