Summary

Adds the driving agent from getDrivingAgent() to every CLI telemetry event, so Amplitude can tell commands run inside an agent from ones typed in a plain terminal.

What changed

  • track() always sets agent, agent_source, agent_version, agent_markers, and agent_other_value next to nodejsVersion and cliVersion; undefined ones drop out when the event is serialized, and a caller's payload can't supply its own
  • identify(), opt-out, and CI gating are unchanged; detection only runs once an event is going to be sent
  • getDrivingAgent(): an announced other (NETLIFY_AGENT=other or AI_AGENT=other) now keeps its value in otherValue instead of sending an empty agent_other_value
  • docs/index.md: restores the NETLIFY_AGENT section feat: add getDrivingAgent agent-detection helper #8492 deferred to its first consumer, updated for the current aliases, and lists the telemetry fields and opt-out
  • New tests/unit/utils/telemetry/telemetry.test.ts covers the ticket's five cases (agent present, absent, version, nested agents, unknown AI_AGENT) plus caller-supplied agent fields

Pure env-reading helper for EX-3040 that identifies which AI agent is
driving a CLI invocation, via an ordered signal table and an
announced-name parser. Downstream tickets (EX-3042, EX-3044, EX-3038,
EX-3037) will wire it in; nothing calls it yet.

Replace the plain-object ANNOUNCED_NAME_TABLE with a Map so lookups
can't resolve inherited properties like constructor, __proto__, or
toString. Also broadens the override-priority test to set all
thirteen lower-priority signals at once and assert the full markers
order, and drops the ticket-only header comment for a self-contained
constraint statement.

Replace four near-duplicate single-key tests with one test.each over
constructor, __proto__, and toString, each asserting both NETLIFY_AGENT
and AI_AGENT fall through to the other resolution.

Warp's agent harness injects OZ_RUN_ID and WARP_RUN_ID when it launches
a run, so both now resolve to `warp`, placed ahead of AI_AGENT. An
unknown NETLIFY_AGENT value now wins over recognized markers so the raw
value is never dropped.

Type `name` and `markers` as CanonicalAgentName, match announced names
case-insensitively while preserving otherValue casing, keep a version
parsed from NETLIFY_AGENT, and tag the docs fence as bash.

Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01Y8HbdxER5EJPxNKqcorkTp
Warp run markers now sit last so the agent inside a Warp run wins and
Warp is recorded in markers. Kiro requires both AGENT_DISPLAY_OUT and
AGENT_CONTEXT_OUT. CODEX_VERSION passes through the same character
filter and 64-character cap as announced names. The NETLIFY_AGENT docs
section moves to the first consumer PR, since nothing reads the helper
yet.

Split the cross-vendor name@version form before sanitizing so
AI_AGENT=codex@1.2.3 resolves to codex 1.2.3. The first match now wins
outright: every tier ahead of AI_AGENT returns a recognized name, and
both explicit announcements keep their raw value when unknown. A value
that sanitizes to nothing is treated as unset.

Add the spellings the cross-vendor convention documents (cursor-cli,
github-copilot, github-copilot-cli, gemini-cli, kiro-cli, warp-oz) and
normalize underscores to dashes for table lookup so either separator
resolves. Note in the header that the result is untrusted attribution.

Every track() event now carries agent, agent_source, and, when known,
agent_version, agent_markers, and agent_other_value from getDrivingAgent().
identify() is unchanged, and opt-out and CI gating still run first.

📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added documentation for CLI agent detection, supported aliases, sanitization, product markers, and telemetry fields.
    • Telemetry now includes detected AI agent attribution, version, markers, and unrecognized values when available.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved handling of agent values labeled “other,” preserving their original sanitized value and parsed version.

Walkthrough

The documentation adds agent detection and telemetry details. Agent parsing now preserves sanitized values for unknown announced agents. Telemetry tracking now adds detected agent name, source, version, markers, and other-value fields. Unit tests cover parsing behavior and telemetry payloads, including absent, nested, versioned, caller-supplied, and unknown agent values.

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

Suggested reviewers: serhalp

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 99607

The change adds agent attribution to telemetry events. Documentation lint currently reports two formatting errors, so those should be corrected before merge; runtime impact is otherwise limited and covered by the supplied tests.

track() now always sets all five agent keys, so a caller's payload can't
supply its own agent attribution when no agent is detected; undefined
values still drop out when the event is serialized.

Restores the NETLIFY_AGENT docs that #8492 deferred to its first consumer,
updated for the current aliases, and lists the telemetry fields and opt-out.

NETLIFY_AGENT=other or AI_AGENT=other matched the canonical name in the
lookup table, so otherValue came back empty and telemetry sent
agent_other_value: ''. "other" is now left out of the lookup and falls
through to the unknown-value path like any other unrecognized name.

Recognized values are `claude`, `codex`, `copilot`, `gemini`, `cursor`, `opencode`, `kiro`, `cline`, `amp`, `warp`, `claudeai`, and `chatgpt`, plus the aliases `claude-code`, `claude-ai`, `github-copilot`, `github-copilot-cli`, `github-copilot-vscode-agent`, `cursor-cli`, `gemini-cli`, `kiro-cli`, and `warp-oz`. Matching ignores case and treats `_` as `-`. Any other value is recorded as `other`. Characters other than letters, digits, `_`, `.`, and `-` are removed, and values are truncated to 64 characters.

The CLI also recognizes markers that agent products set on their own, such as `AI_AGENT`, `CODEX_CI`, and `GEMINI_CLI`. `NETLIFY_AGENT` takes precedence over all of them, even when its value isn't recognized.
