Summary

Stacked on #531 (migrate/slice-6).

Each clerk migrate event now says where the users came from, how far the run got, and which Clerk app and instance it acted on.

 CLI_COMMAND_EXECUTED.payload
   command, flags, outcome, exit_code, error_code
-  stage                      # null on every migrate run
+  stage                      # migrate_source … migrate_import, done
   duration_ms
+  instance_id                # ins_…, sent by migrate only
+  migrate_source             # auth0 … workos, or custom
   ...envelope
-  app_id, workspace_id       # the linked project
+  app_id, workspace_id       # the target's app, else the linked project
setTelemetryTarget(appId, instanceId)
  keep appId if it starts with app_
  keep instanceId if it starts with ins_     # drops --instance dev and the key_ hash
app_id = target.appId
      ?? the linked app, when the linked profile owns target.instanceId
      ?? the linked app, when the command set no target

Partial exits now carry codes: migrate_checks_rejected, migrate_import_partial, migrate_undo_incomplete and migrate_export_truncated. The first-run notice and the root README name the new fields. commands/migrate/README.md lists every stage under "What telemetry records".

Evidence

  • Before: a migrate run sends "stage": null, with no migrate_source or instance_id key. A run with --secret-key for another app reports the linked project's app_id.
    After: CLERK_EXPERIMENTAL=migrate clerk migrate import users.json --source ./my-source.ts --secret-key sk_test_… --dry-run --verbose sends "stage": "migrate_dry_run", "migrate_source": "custom" and "instance_id": null. The event holds no source path, source name or key_ hash.
  • With --app app_abc --instance dev, the event sends "app_id": "app_abc" and drops dev.
  • bun run test: 6626 pass, 0 fail. New cases cover each stage, the target rules, the guards, and the four codes.

Merge Danger

Door: two-way

A revert removes the fields. Events already sent stay in the warehouse.

Blast Radius: telemetry

Every CLI_COMMAND_EXECUTED event gains instance_id and migrate_source, null outside migrate. If the data-platform payload contract (data-platform#604) checks keys or stage values per command, it needs the new ones. app_id changes for migrate runs only. clerk feedback passes no target, so CLI_FEEDBACK events don't change. People who already saw the first-run notice won't see the new wording, because telemetryNoticeShown is a boolean.

Docs: DOCS-12376.

Walkthrough

Migration telemetry now records source platforms, target identifiers, and command stages for import, export, undo, and stored-run inspection. Telemetry resolves app and workspace identifiers from command targets and linked profiles. Selected error outcomes are included in event payloads. The CLI documentation and telemetry notice describe these fields and selected stage and error-code mappings.

Priority: Low

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Suggested reviewers: djgould

Merge Risk: Low · up to cc88c

Qualify the telemetry disclosure so users can distinguish excluded raw inputs from normalized migration metadata.

Explanation

The title names the main change: migrate telemetry now records the migration source, the stage, and the target app and instance. The changeset matches this. The title is a single sentence of 12 words, and it uses the conventional feat(scope) prefix.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description states the purpose of the change: each clerk migrate event now reports the source platform, run progress, and the Clerk app and instance acted on. It lists the new payload fields, the target-resolution rules, and the partial-exit codes. It also gives test evidence and a merge-risk note, all of which match the changeset.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 55.56% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff with cyclomatic complexity of at least 2. Documentation-only edits and deletions within surviving functions are included; unchanged diff context and fully deleted functions are excluded. Analyzed 18 functions across 16 files. (2 skipped: 2 unsupported.)

Resolution

Write docstrings for the functions missing them to satisfy the coverage threshold.

instance_id names the instance but not its environment, so this event alone can't tell a development migration from a production one. resolveClerkTarget already knows it (ClerkTarget.env, development or production), so an instance_env field next to this one could include this information.

Before adding it: can our reporting tools get the environment by joining instance_id to the instances table? If they can, this field isn't needed. If that join isn't available for reporting, let me know and I'll add instance_env.

Existing users won't see this new wording. markTelemetryNoticeShown saves telemetryNoticeShown as a boolean, so a machine that showed the old notice never shows it again.

I left it that way on purpose. The new fields are small (the platform a migration's users come from, and the target's instance ID), and showing the notice again would put an extra notice in front of every existing user. The docs page lists the new fields (clerk/clerk#3726, clerk/clerk#3727).

Should that change? To show the notice again for the new fields, the boolean would become a notice version, and the CLI would show the notice again on any machine with an older saved version. That run would send nothing, as a first run does today. It's a small change in config.ts and showTelemetryNoticeOnce.

⚠️ Unverified finding
Verification ran but could not confirm this finding. It is shown for review, not as a verified issue.

Document the collected migration stage.

CLI_COMMAND_EXECUTED now includes stage, but this disclosure lists the migration source and target IDs without stating that execution stages are collected. Add stage and its supported migration values to this paragraph.
