message-building function around privacyStatementUrl so custom URLs preserve
existing query parameters and place the from parameter before any fragment,
using proper URL query handling; keep the default URL behavior and opt-out link
unchanged.

Appending '?from=' as raw text breaks URLs that already carry a query string (the value becomes part of the last param) and misplaces the parameter when a fragment is present. Use URL.searchParams.set() so the param is encoded and positioned correctly in all cases. Signed-off-by: Ryan Golden <rpgolden@us.ibm.com>

CustomVSCodeSettings.isTelemetryEnabled() does not check getTelemetryLevel() != "off", unlike VSCodeSettings. This means if a user sets telemetry.telemetryLevel: off in VS Code (the system-wide "do not track me" signal), the custom pipeline ignores it and keeps sending data.
The getTelemetryLevel() method is already on this class and returns the correct global value — it is just not consulted in isTelemetryEnabled().
Either:
- Gate on the global level here too (like
VSCodeSettingsdoes):return getVSCodeTelemetryLevel() !== 'off' && ... - Or add an explicit opt-out flag to
TelemetryOptions(e.g.ignoreGlobalTelemetryLevel?: boolean) so callers consciously choose to bypass it

Commit b1ea852 fixed the CodeRabbit URL-construction comment but introduced a throw path. new URL(privacyUrl) throws TypeError for relative URLs or malformed strings (e.g. privacyStatementUrl: '/privacy'). Since openTelemetryOptInDialogIfNeeded() is fire-and-forget (line 77, no await), this becomes an unhandled promise rejection that can crash the extension host.
Wrap in try/catch and fall back to string concatenation, or validate the URL early in the constructor.

When telemetryNamespace is provided but optInMessage is omitted, this falls back to "Help Red Hat improve its extensions..." — which is misleading for non-Red Hat consumers.
For example { telemetryNamespace: 'ibm', privacyStatementUrl: 'https://ibm.com/privacy' } produces a dialog saying "Help Red Hat improve" with an IBM privacy link.
Consider either:
- Requiring
optInMessagewhentelemetryNamespaceis set (throw or log a warning if absent) - Making the brand name a
TelemetryOptionsfield so the default message can use it

No validation on telemetryNamespace. An empty string produces malformed config keys (.telemetry.enabled, section .telemetry). A guard like if (!telemetryNamespace) throw ... in the constructor would prevent silent misbehavior.

Custom telemetry namespace (
TelemetryOptions)Problem:
redhat.telemetry.enabledwas the only way to gate telemetry in this library. Extensions with their own telemetry pipeline had no way to control it independently their setting was always tied to the Red Hat namespace.Solution:
getRedHatService()now accepts an optionalTelemetryOptionssecond argument. When a caller suppliestelemetryNamespace, the library uses<namespace>.telemetry.enabledas the sole gate for that pipeline. The two pipelines are fully independent — neither setting affects the other.What changed
New
TelemetryOptionsinterface (src/common/api/telemetryOptions.ts)Four optional fields:
telemetryNamespace,optInMessage,privacyStatementUrl,optOutInstructionsUrlNew
CustomVSCodeSettingsclass (src/common/vscode/settings.ts)Reads/writes
<namespace>.telemetry.enabledonly. Refactored the shared VS Code level logic into a standalonegetVSCodeTelemetryLevel()function used by both settings classes.AbstractRedHatServiceProviderwired up (src/common/vscode/redhatServiceInitializer.ts)Constructor now accepts
options?: TelemetryOptionsand selectsCustomVSCodeSettingsorVSCodeSettingsaccordingly. Thesettingsfield is retyped toTelemetrySettings(interface) rather than the concrete class.Config watcher scoped to the right namespace
onDidChangeTelemetryEnablednow accepts an optionalconfigNamespace. When a custom namespace is active, it watches only that namespace and ignores bothredhat.telemetryand the globaltelemetrysection. Default behavior (watch both) is unchanged when no namespace is passed.Per-namespace opt-in lock file
The popup lock file is
<namespace>.optin.jsonwhen a custom namespace is active,redhat.optin.jsonotherwise. This prevents opt-in dialogs from interfering across pipelines.Configurable dialog text
buildOptInMessage()(extracted, exported for testing) builds the opt-in dialog string fromoptions.optInMessage,options.privacyStatementUrl, andoptions.optOutInstructionsUrl, falling back to the Red Hat defaults for any omitted field.getRedHatService()signature updated in both entry pointssrc/node/index.tsandsrc/webworker/index.tseach acceptoptions?: TelemetryOptionsand forward it to their provider constructors.TelemetryOptionsis re-exported from all three entry points (src/index.ts,src/node/index.ts,src/webworker/index.ts).TelemetrySettingsinterface extendedAdded
updateTelemetryEnabledConfig(value: boolean): Thenable<void>so the dialog's accept/deny handler can write through the interface without knowing which settings class is active.Tests
src/tests/vscode/customVSCodeSettings.test.ts— coversisTelemetryEnabled,isTelemetryConfigured,updateTelemetryEnabledConfig, and confirms the custom namespace is unaffected byredhat.telemetry.enabledor a globaltelemetryLevel: off.src/tests/vscode/redhatServiceInitializer.test.ts— coversonDidChangeTelemetryEnabled(custom namespace fires only on its own config change; default behavior preserved) andbuildOptInMessage(custom text, custom URLs, fallback to Red Hat defaults).Downstream usage requirement
Callers must declare
<namespace>.telemetry.enabledas a boolean incontributes.configurationin theirpackage.json. If they omit it, VS Code returnsundefinedfor the key, which defaults tofalseand silently disables the pipeline.No breaking changes
When
optionsis not passed, every code path falls through to the existing behavior. No existing callers need to change.
