… README The FAQ answer about data collection mentioned that analytics "can be disabled via caliber config" but did not disclose that PostHog is the analytics provider, nor document the specific opt-out mechanisms already implemented in the codebase: - --no-traces CLI flag (per-run) - CALIBER_TELEMETRY_DISABLED=1 env var (persistent) Updated the FAQ to name PostHog explicitly and list both opt-out methods so users can make an informed choice without reading source code.

Issue
The README FAQ answer to "Does it send my code anywhere?" mentioned that anonymous usage analytics "can be disabled via
caliber config", but did not:package.json)The existing
src/telemetry/config.tsalready implements two opt-out methods:--no-tracesCLI flag (setsruntimeDisabled = truefor that run)CALIBER_TELEMETRY_DISABLED=1environment variable (persistent)Fix
Updated the FAQ answer to:
No code changes — documentation only. The opt-out mechanisms were already implemented; this just makes them discoverable.
Note: there is already a branch
alonp98/fix-146-telemetry-opt-inin this repo that may address related concerns. This PR is narrowly scoped to README disclosure only, so it shouldn't conflict.
