Remove usage telemetry (PostHog) from Hamilton#1512
Merged
Conversation
ASF policy does not permit phone-home telemetry in released artifacts. This removes all PostHog event tracking while keeping hamilton/telemetry.py as a backwards-compatible no-op stub so downstream code that calls `telemetry.disable_telemetry()` continues to work without changes.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
My main comment is - in addition to the noop stubs, mark these methods as deprecated (via decorator, or raising a warning), and remove all traces in an upcoming major release (e.g. 2.0 or 2.1 or 3.0)
Mark disable_telemetry() and is_telemetry_enabled() as deprecated (warn at 1.89.0, fail at 2.0.0) so users get a clear signal to remove these calls before the next major release.
