+## Onboarding UX fixes and analytics preparation
+
+Task [#12](https://git.sendico.io/tech/sxchnge/issues/12) corrects the four UX
+review findings: measurable submitted journeys, accurate sent recipient state,
+primary retry on confirmation errors, and prominent/truthful simulated outcomes.
+The new shared `sxchnge_analytics` package supplies typed events, a bounded dummy
+sink and a journey recorder; auth service decorators keep collection independent
+of widgets. A PostHog adapter can replace the sink later; no actual SDK or data
+transmission is included. The [journey contract](ux/auth-journeys.md) records event
+semantics, metrics, privacy constraints, windows, validation and limitations.
+
+Delivery: [PR #13](https://git.sendico.io/tech/sxchnge/pulls/13), `onboarding-12`.
+Implementation commit `f1cbf64`; 68 tests and affected-package analysis/formatting
+plus web build passed. Final browser verification confirms accessible recipient
+text and keyboard recovery. No merge or actual PostHog collection was performed.

+# Authentication UX and analytics contract
+
+Task: [#12](https://git.sendico.io/tech/sxchnge/issues/12). Applies to login,
+signup through email verification, and standalone confirmation links.
+
+## User outcomes and interface
+
+Signup leads to email delivery, then confirmation. Sent status shows a fixed
+recipient; Change email explicitly leaves that state and focuses the editor.
+A temporary confirmation failure prioritizes Retry verification, with requesting
+a replacement email secondary. Expired/invalid links offer replacement delivery.
+Demo labels sit beside the heading, and demo outcomes explicitly state that no
+email was delivered or account verified. The demo confirmation link is the
+primary next step on the simulated sent screen. EN/RU use the installed theme.
+
+## Measurement scope and attempts
+
+Owner/consumer: the sxchnge product team, diagnosing onboarding completion and
+choosing between fixes to registration, delivery and confirmation recovery.
+
+A journey starts at the first **locally valid service request**. This intentionally
+measures submitted attempts, not page views or field editing; pre-submit form
+abandonment and validation friction are outside this denominator. No generic
+click/field events are collected.
+
+- `login`: one requested login through its service result.
+- `signup`: signup acceptance, email delivery requests, then email confirmation.
+- `verification`: confirmation/replacement delivery when there is no active signup.
+
+Retries reuse the journey ID and get a new operation number. Signup success and
+email delivery are intermediate states; confirmation success is the onboarding
+terminal outcome. Login success is terminal. Failed operations remain recoverable.
+Every operation has one completion, and every journey at most one terminal event.
+Changing auth mode, returning from verification to login, changing a confirmation
+token, or disposing the app ends the open attempt explicitly. A new operation
+after a terminal outcome starts a new journey.
+
+The inactivity window is **30 minutes after the last settled nonterminal service
+result**, reset by a new request. It is suspended while a service operation is
+pending: missing completion is not assumed to be abandonment. An explicit exit
+can end an attempt while work is pending; it does not cancel backend work. Late
+results cannot reopen that attempt or emit success after its abandonment.
+
+IDs are random, scoped to this app instance and never derived from identity or
+link tokens. Same-instance signup → demo link is correlated. A real email opened
+in another tab/device or after reload starts a standalone verification journey.
+Cross-device signup conversion needs a future backend-issued, non-sensitive
+correlation contract; client code must never use email or the token as that ID.
+Tab termination is not reliably observable. Missing exits remain **unknown**,
+not inferred abandonment. Background timer throttling can delay idle detection.
+
+## Event schema (version 1)
+
+| Event | Emission condition | Product decision supported |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| `auth_journey_started` | First valid request for a new attempt | Submitted-attempt denominator |
+| `auth_{step}_requested` | A domain service operation starts | Locate the last meaningful step and retries |
+| `auth_{step}_succeeded` | Service confirms a non-simulated result | Step conversion and outcome duration |
+| `auth_{step}_simulated` | Dummy result, or terminal outcome of a mixed simulated journey | Validate the preview funnel without reporting business conversion |
+| `auth_{step}_failed` | Service operation fails | Failure rates by safe error category and recovery |
+| `auth_journey_abandoned` | Explicit exit or settled inactivity timeout | Diagnose known abandonment/drop-off |
+
+`step` is `login`, `signup`, `email_delivery`, or `email_confirmation`.
+Properties: schema_version, event_id, journey_id, journey_kind, sequence,
+operation (per-journey counter when applicable), occurred_at (UTC), elapsed_ms
+(monotonic journey duration), terminal, simulated, and optional typed failure/exit.
+Every event in a known dummy journey is marked simulated. No email, password,
+name, user ID, confirmation token, URL, raw exception, or form contents is captured.
+
+## Metrics
+
+Group by journey_kind and journey_id; deduplicate delivery by event_id, ordering
+by sequence. Use **closed attempts** (terminal outcome or explicit abandonment)
+for settled cohort rates; report open/unknown counts separately. For a fixed
+reporting cohort, include starts in that interval and allow their defined
+inactivity window to settle. Report pending operations separately even after it.
+
+- Completion: distinct successful terminal journey IDs / closed journey IDs.
+- Simulated completion: same calculation using simulated terminals, reported
+  separately. Never mix these into actual account/session conversion.
+- Failure rate: distinct failed operations / requested operations; also report
+  journeys with any failure / started journeys.
+- Recovery: closed journeys completing after a failed operation / closed
+  journeys with a failed operation.
+- Known abandonment: abandoned journey IDs / closed journey IDs, by exit reason.
+- Step drop-off: closed journeys reaching a step but not the next / closed
+  journeys reaching that step (signup acceptance → delivery → confirmation).
+- Duration: terminal elapsed_ms; step latency from matching requested/result
+  operation timestamps. Report distributions separately for retries and failures.
+
+Current service results are client evidence only. Future production adapters must
+return success only after server confirmation; delivery API acceptance still
+isn't proof that the email reached an inbox. That remains a documented proxy.
+
+## Dummy service and PostHog replacement
+
+`sxchnge_analytics` is a platform-independent shared package. `AnalyticsService`
+accepts typed `AnalyticsEvent`; `DummyAnalyticsService` retains the latest 500
+unique events in memory for tests/debugging. It exposes an immutable event list
+and clear(), writes no logs/files, installs no SDK, and makes no network requests.
+It is diagnostic storage, not a durable metrics backend; older events are evicted.
+
+Inject the service through `SxchngeApp(analyticsService: service)`. Auth services
+are decorated by `InstrumentedAuthServices`, so rebuilds, locale changes and
+layout changes cannot generate events. Analytics exceptions are swallowed at the
+recorder boundary and analytics futures are never awaited by auth operations.
+Adapters must do lightweight capture/enqueue work; synchronous CPU blocking in an
+adapter cannot be isolated by a Dart Future.
+
+A future PostHog adapter should implement capture using event.name and the
+allowlisted event.properties. Official API reference:
+https://pub.dev/documentation/posthog_flutter/latest/posthog_flutter/Posthog-class.html
+
+Preserve event_id and sequence for deduplication/reconstruction. Configure consent,
+retention, region and anonymous identity before enabling collection. Do not enable
+autocapture, session replay, automatic URL capture or user identification as a
+side effect of this adapter: confirmation URLs and authentication forms contain
+sensitive data. No PostHog key or network integration is included in this task.
+Retries/buffering in a future adapter must preserve the original event_id and
+occurred_at, remain bounded, and never delay authentication.
+
+## UX review and verification
+
+- Purpose/primary action: explicit demo outcomes and primary confirmation retry.
+- Context/recovery: confirmed recipient separate from editor, focus restored by
+  Change email, no sent claim while editing; service failure retains input.
+- States: initial/loading/sent/verified/expired/invalid/internal error remain
+  available. Restricted/offline backend behavior is outside this dummy service.
+- Responsiveness: EN/RU and 200% text coverage retained; focused tests cover
+  keyboard submission, semantic heading/live region and mobile target labels/sizes.
+- Measurement: tests cover correlated success, simulated outcomes, failures,
+  retries, duplicate completion/delivery, explicit exit, pending operations,
+  inactivity, and throwing/failing/non-completing analytics adapters.
+- Privacy: payload tests exclude supplied form values and tokens; only typed
+  allowlisted properties are exposed. Dummy buffer is bounded and read-only.
+- Remaining limits: no real PostHog delivery or cross-device correlation is
+  claimed. Automated semantics checks do not replace assistive-technology testing
+  on supported devices; a native VoiceOver/TalkBack audit remains a release check.
+
+### Recorded validation
+
+The automated suite passes 68 tests: 7 analytics, 20 auth, 3 theme, 3 theme
+consumer, and 35 app tests. Formatting and analysis pass for the three affected
+packages; the web build passes. Browser walkthrough at 390px covers internal-error
+hierarchy, secondary email recovery, actual Tab/Enter submission, and the demo
+sent screen. The heading is exposed as a live accessibility heading. Recipient
+text uses a normal text node to remain exposed to assistive technology.
+
+Delivered in [PR #13](https://git.sendico.io/tech/sxchnge/pulls/13), branch
+`onboarding-12`. The final browser accessibility tree exposes the recipient text,
+demo status, status heading and recovery actions. PR is open for review.

 The signup email travels as a transient route extra. The router's extra codec deliberately omits extras from serialized browser history, so a restored sent page asks for the email again. Do not add persistent route extras without explicitly updating that policy.
 
 These are public routes: no session or KYC guard is added to the dummy authentication flow. Future protected pages should use centralized redirects driven by authoritative session state, with backend access enforcement. Tracker: tech/sxchnge#6, branch `routing-6`.

+# SXCHNGE analytics
+
+Shared pure-Dart analytics contract, semantic journey recorder and bounded
+in-memory dummy service. No PostHog SDK, network, persistence or logging.
+
+```dart
+final analytics = DummyAnalyticsService();
+final recorder = JourneyRecorder(analytics);
+final operation = recorder.begin(JourneyKind.login, JourneyStep.login);
+recorder.finish(operation, simulated: true, terminal: true);
+final captured = analytics.events; // immutable snapshot
+recorder.dispose();
+```
+
+Inject an `AnalyticsService` implementation to replace the sink. Consumers do not
+await analytics. See [the auth journey contract](../../../docs/ux/auth-journeys.md)
+for schema, metric definitions, simulation rules, privacy, retry/abandonment
+semantics, PostHog adapter guidance and measurement limitations.
+
+Run `flutter test` and `flutter analyze` here. The production library imports
+only Dart SDK libraries and can be reused by web and mobile.

 `VerificationService` exposes `send(email, locale)` and `confirm(token)` as named-argument methods. Inject an implementation into `VerificationProvider`, shared by web and mobile. The provider exposes immutable `VerificationState` (idle/sending/sent/checking/verified/expired/invalid/error), suppresses concurrent duplicate operations, and ignores completions after reset or disposal. Typed `VerificationException` maps confirmation failures; unknown exceptions become internal errors without exposing exception text. Sending failures always become the general error state.
 
 `DummyVerificationService` supports `demo-valid`, `demo-expired`, and `demo-internal` confirmation tokens; other tokens are invalid. Configure `delay` and `sendFailure` for tests. Results are explicitly simulated. It performs no network, storage, mail delivery, or account mutation. A production adapter must implement backend validation, delivery, rate limits, and safe token handling; this client provider is not an authorization boundary.
+
+`InstrumentedAuthServices` decorates the three auth service interfaces with a
+shared `JourneyRecorder` from `sxchnge_analytics`. It preserves results/exceptions
+for providers while emitting only typed semantic outcomes. `SimulationInfo`
+allows decorators and UI to identify preview services before the first result.
