Terminal Telemetry & Cognitive Pacing

Kanna’s telemetry engine provides subtle, non-intrusive companionship by observing your workflow rhythms while maintaining strict privacy boundaries.

Privacy Safeguards

The telemetry subsystem implements hard constraints:

• Zero Content Sniffing: The daemon reads character delta timestamps (Δt), never the characters themselves.
• No Git Code Uploads: Git hooks only check current branch names and commit message word counts.
• No Webcam or Audio Recording: All physiological assessments are inferred purely from keyboard cadence and compile results.

Cadence Metrics

WPM Burst Variance: 
[||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||] Steady Flow (CH.01 HERO Active)

Pause Duration > 45s:
[------------------------------] Idle Reflection (Avatar relaxes posture)

High Backspace Velocity:
[||||||||                      ] Refactor Burst (Subtle amber rim flare)

Hooking into Shell Environments

Add this single line to your ~/.zshrc or ~/.bashrc:

eval "$(kanna init -)"

This transparently registers a pre-exec hook that streams timing intervals directly into the local Unix domain socket.
