Keep restricted upload diagnostics out of the analytics transport
Support needs a detailed failure record, but the proposed implementation reuses analytics permissions and transport.

Project context
A fictional document workspace wants to measure upload completion and failure. Its prototype sends filenames, document titles and raw errors to general analytics. Replace that path with a minimal event contract using synthetic traffic.
Setup prerequisites
- Create synthetic upload workflows and a local collector that captures received payloads.
- Define measurement questions and a separate restricted diagnostic store fixture.
Preceding work
Complete these dependencies, or supply their agreed outputs before taking this ticket.
- RTELEMETRY-101 · Translate upload questions into bounded telemetry events
- RTELEMETRY-102 · Reject unknown telemetry fields at the sending boundary
- RTELEMETRY-103 · Use a short-lived workflow correlation ID with a defined scope
- RTELEMETRY-104 · Map upload errors to safe categories before analytics dispatch
Acceptance criteria
- Create a separate diagnostic store with tenant-scoped access.
- Collect only justified fields with a bounded retention period.
- Use safe references for an authorized diagnostic lookup rather than exposing details in counters.
Implementation constraints
- Use synthetic errors; omit credentials and private upload bytes even from this exercise diagnostic store.
Verification to include
- Read a diagnostic as an authorized scoped operator.
- Attempt cross-tenant access and inspect analytics requests to verify no diagnostic details pass through them.
Deliverables
- Restricted diagnostics and transport-separation tests
Rollout and recovery
Enable diagnostics independently; analytics must work when diagnostics are disabled.
Value of the work
For the engineer: Practice minimization, safe failure handling and correct aggregates.
For the team: Produce useful operational measurements with a reviewable collection boundary and disclosure regression suite.
Evidence boundaries
Outcome Evidence: Tests, patches, and runbooks are requested deliverables. They become Outcome Evidence only through a qualified Mission and immutable Evidence IDs.
Ownership Evidence: Independent adaptation must be observed under a declared verification policy and cite immutable Evidence IDs. Completing a planning ticket establishes no Ownership Evidence.
