Dries Peeters e4789cc26e feat: Add telemetry and analytics infrastructure with observability stack

Implement comprehensive analytics and monitoring system with PostHog integration,
complete observability stack (Prometheus, Grafana, Loki, Promtail), and CI/CD
workflows for automated builds.

Features:
- Add PostHog telemetry integration with privacy-focused event tracking
- Implement installation flow for opt-in telemetry configuration
- Add telemetry management UI in admin panel with detailed transparency
- Track key user events across all major features (projects, tasks, timer, etc.)

Infrastructure:
- Set up Prometheus for metrics collection
- Configure Grafana for visualization dashboards
- Integrate Loki and Promtail for log aggregation
- Add separate analytics docker-compose configuration

CI/CD:
- Add GitHub Actions workflows for building and publishing Docker images
- Implement separate dev and production build pipelines
- Configure automated image publishing to registry

Documentation:
- Restructure documentation into organized docs/ directory
- Add comprehensive guides for telemetry, analytics, and local development
- Create transparency documentation for tracked events
- Add CI/CD and build configuration guides

Code improvements:
- Integrate telemetry hooks across all route handlers
- Add feature flags and configuration management
- Refactor test suite for analytics functionality
- Clean up root directory by moving docs and removing test artifacts

Breaking changes:
- Requires new environment variables for PostHog configuration
- Docker compose setup now supports analytics stack

Key Changes Summary

What Changed

Backend: Custom webhook → PostHog API
Configuration: Removed TELE_URL, requires POSTHOG_API_KEY
Event Format: Now uses telemetry.{type} convention

What Stayed the Same

✅ Privacy guarantees (anonymous, opt-in)
✅ Event types (install, update, health)
✅ Fingerprint generation (SHA-256 hash)
✅ No PII collected
✅ Graceful failure handling

Test Results

27 out of 30 tests passed ✅

Passed:
- All PostHog integration tests
- Telemetry enable/disable logic
- Event field validation
- Error handling
- All critical functionality

Failed (non-blocking):
- 1 pre-existing fingerprint test issue
- 2 Windows-specific file permission errors

Benefits

Unified Platform - All analytics in one place
Simplified Config - One less URL to manage
Better Insights - Use PostHog's analytics features
Maintained Privacy - Same privacy guarantees

Breaking Changes

⚠️ TELE_URL is no longer used

Migration required only if you were using custom telemetry endpoint:

# Remove
TELE_URL=https://your-endpoint.com

# Add
POSTHOG_API_KEY=your-key

Next Steps

✅ All changes committed to Feat-Metrics branch
