Subject: [PATCH 1/4] feat: add anonymous usage analytics + fix code scanning
 alerts

Analytics:
- Add fire-and-forget anonymous telemetry (no PII, easy opt-out)
- Add `selftune telemetry` CLI command (status/enable/disable)
- Show telemetry disclosure during `selftune init`
- Track command_run events with lazy import to avoid startup cost
- 17 tests covering privacy, fire-and-forget, and opt-out behavior

Security fixes (resolves all 14 CodeQL alerts):
- Fix incomplete regex sanitization in llm-call.ts (js/incomplete-sanitization)
- Pin Docker base images to SHA256 digests (3 Dockerfiles)
- Pin curl-piped Bun installs to bun-v1.3.10 (4 instances)

+/**
+ * selftune anonymous usage analytics.
+ *
+ * Collects anonymous, non-identifying usage data to help prioritize
+ * features and understand how selftune is used in the wild.
+ *
+ * Privacy guarantees:
+ *   - No PII: no usernames, emails, IPs, file paths, or repo names
+ *   - No session correlation: no session IDs or linking timestamps
+ *   - Anonymous machine ID: one-way SHA-256 hash (irreversible)
+ *   - Fire-and-forget: never blocks CLI execution
+ *   - Easy opt-out: env var or config flag
+ *
+ * Opt out:
+ *   - Set SELFTUNE_NO_ANALYTICS=1 in your environment
+ *   - Run `selftune telemetry disable`
+ *   - Set "analytics_disabled": true in ~/.selftune/config.json

Subject: [PATCH 3/4] fix: address CodeRabbit review feedback

- Use bash explicitly for pipefail in Dockerfiles (dash compatibility)
- Replace hostname-derived anonymous ID with persisted random ID
- Add telemetry to README commands table, SKILL.md routing, and workflow docs
- Isolate analytics tests from real user config via resetAnalyticsState()

+# selftune Telemetry Workflow
+
+## When to Use
+
+When the user asks about telemetry, analytics, usage tracking, privacy,
+opting out of data collection, or wants to check/change their telemetry settings.
+
+## Overview
+
+selftune collects anonymous, non-identifying usage analytics to help prioritize
+features. No PII is ever collected — only command names, OS/arch, and selftune
+version. Users can opt out at any time.
+
+## Default Commands
+
+```bash
+selftune telemetry              # Show current telemetry status
+selftune telemetry status       # Same as above
+selftune telemetry enable       # Enable anonymous usage analytics
+selftune telemetry disable      # Disable anonymous usage analytics
+```
+
+## Environment Override
+
+```bash
+export SELFTUNE_NO_ANALYTICS=1  # Disable via env var (highest priority)
+```
+
+Analytics is also automatically disabled in CI environments (`CI=true`).
+
+## What Is Collected
+
+- Command name (e.g., "status", "evolve")
+- OS, architecture, selftune version, node version
+- Agent type (claude/codex/opencode)
+- Random anonymous ID (not derived from any user data)
+
+## What Is NOT Collected
+
+- No usernames, emails, IPs, or hostnames
+- No file paths or repo names
+- No session IDs or linking timestamps
+- No skill names or content
+
+## Common Patterns
+
+- "Is selftune tracking me?"
+  → `selftune telemetry status`
+- "Turn off analytics"
+  → `selftune telemetry disable`
+- "I want to help improve selftune"
+  → `selftune telemetry enable`

Subject: [PATCH 4/4] fix: address second round of CodeRabbit review feedback

- Wrap fetchFn in try + Promise.resolve for sync throw safety
- Add try/catch with actionable errors for telemetry enable/disable
- Add Telemetry.md to SKILL.md Resource Index
- Fix privacy wording: disclose anonymous_id and sent_at linkability
- Replace hardcoded test sleeps with polling helper + add sync-throw test
