AI Summary

This release addresses telemetry geolocation gaps by disabling the default GeoIP suppression in the PostHog SDK, allowing for coarse location tracking at ingestion while maintaining strict privacy standards regarding raw IP storage.

Key Highlights

  • Closed ~98.5% 'unknown location' gap in telemetry
  • Privacy maintained: raw IPs are never attached to events or stored
  • Documentation updated to disclose location tracking methods

New Features

  • Improved coarse location tracking for worker events
  • Updated telemetry consent screen

Full Release Notes

## Fixed

- **Telemetry geolocation: closed the ~98.5% "unknown location" gap.** The posthog-node SDK assumes server deployments and stamps `$geoip_disable: true` on every event by default. claude-mem's worker runs on the user's own machine, so this needlessly suppressed PostHog's ingest-side GeoIP on all worker events (`worker_started`, `session_compressed`, `context_injected`, ā€¦). The client now passes `disableGeoip: false`, letting PostHog derive coarse location (country / region / city) at ingestion ā€” from the request IP, which is then discarded. CLI events (`install_*`) were already unaffected.

## Privacy

- No change to the IP promise: raw IP addresses are still **never attached to events by the client and never stored** ā€” the sender IP is used transiently at ingest for the coarse-location lookup, then discarded.
- The telemetry docs (https://docs.claude-mem.ai/telemetry) and the `npx claude-mem telemetry enable` consent screen now disclose the ingest-derived coarse location.

## Tests

- New regression test asserts the PostHog client is constructed with `disableGeoip: false` (telemetry suite now 58 tests, all passing).
