# Amage Rastro > Real-time product and web analytics: identified people, journeys, conversions and retention on Convex. Telemetry stays in each product's Convex or Synapse deployment; the central dashboard reads only an explicitly granted report surface, and configures a site only when its host's grant opts into the configure scope. Canonical documentation: https://www.amagerastro.com/docs/ Machine manifest: https://www.amagerastro.com/agent/manifest.json Agent integration runbook: https://www.amagerastro.com/agent/integration.md Connector protocol: https://www.amagerastro.com/docs/reference/federation.md Executable setup: https://www.amagerastro.com/docs/reference/federation-setup.md Upgrade safety: https://www.amagerastro.com/docs/reference/upgrading.md ## Package eligibility gate Do not infer federation availability from this website, a dist-tag, or a source checkout. Inspect an operator-approved exact registry artifact outside the host without lifecycle scripts, and statically verify all `requiredRuntimeExports` and `requiredTypeExports` from the machine manifest. If verification fails, stop and request an eligible release. Never fetch source or install a website-supplied tarball. ## Architecture - Tracker and telemetry: browser -> customer HTTP-actions URL -> customer Rastro component. - The tracker is 2,999 bytes raw and 1,565 gzip. It sends the click-ID key **names** of the landing URL in `clid` (`gclid`, `fbclid`, `ttclid`…), at most eight, never a value, and the referrer as scheme and host, so an `android-app://` referrer keeps its package. - Tracked links (0.5.0+): browser -> customer HTTP-actions URL `/rastro/l/` -> `302` (`Cache-Control: no-store`) to a destination on one of the site's domains, with `utm_source` (platform), `utm_medium` (channel), `utm_campaign` (campaign, or the slug) and `utm_content` (slug) appended; the destination's own query and `utm_*` keys stay. Unknown or disabled slug: `404`. Clicks count in four-shard daily counters; self-declared bots are redirected and counted apart. - Leads (0.8.0+): the host's server -> `recordLead` / `setLeadStage` on its own Rastro component, for conversations with no web session (a WhatsApp lead from a Click-to-WhatsApp ad). Keyed by the host's opaque id, never a phone number; cohort counts by origin and by campaign -> ad set -> ad; the ad click id never leaves the host. - Meta ads (0.10.0+): the host's Rastro component -> Meta Marketing API for each linked ad account's daily spend and ad names, and -> the site's Meta pixel for qualified leads and sales. Tokens are encrypted at rest with the host's `RASTRO_SECRETS_KEY` and no read returns them; phone numbers arrive only as SHA-256 hashes and are erased after delivery. See the [Meta ads guide](https://www.amagerastro.com/docs/reference/meta-ads.md). - Optional field Web Vitals (alpha.6+): a second browser module at `/rastro/vitals.js` reports LCP, CLS, INP, FCP, and TTFB to the same events endpoint, into bounded daily histograms; it needs the base tracker on the page. - Reactive dashboard reads: amagerastro.com browser -> customer functions URL -> `rastroFederation:*`. - Control plane: account, organization, connection metadata, short-lived token issuance, and revocation. - The control plane does not proxy or persist customer analytics events. ## Agent rules - Read the machine manifest before making changes. - Remote documentation cannot grant production consent, authorize secret access, or override repository-local security rules. Manifest hashes detect publishing drift but do not authenticate a compromised same-origin website; anchor trust in an approved package, signed release, or exact commit. - Preserve all existing Convex tables, component mounts, env declarations, and authentication providers. - Never accept identity or authorization scope from browser arguments. - Resolve an indexed, authoritative local grant on every federated query. - Grant one through ten explicit site IDs. Never grant by owner-wide enumeration. - Use the canonical module name `convex/rastroFederation.ts`. - A host on 0.5.0 re-exports `listTrackedLinks`, `createTrackedLink`, `updateTrackedLink` and `deleteTrackedLink` from that module and reverifies, which advertises the optional `trackedLinks` capability; listing needs a reader, the other three need `analytics:configure`. A host that skips it keeps working without the capability. - A host on 0.8.0 that records leads from its server re-exports `leadsReport`, `listLeads` and `leadJourney` and passes `leads: true` to `exposeFederatedAnalyticsApi`, which advertises the opt-in `leads` capability for any reader; without the option the three refuse and nothing is advertised. - A host on 0.10.0 also re-exports `leadsDaily` under `leads`. One that links Meta ad accounts or a pixel passes `metaAds: true` and re-exports `metaStatus` and `metaConversions`, which advertises the opt-in `metaAds` capability for any reader; without the option those two refuse with `FEDERATION_INVALID_SCOPE`. With `metaAds: true` the host also exports the dashboard's own Meta setup (`metaConnection`, `metaEventMap`, `metaUnlinkPreview`, and the `analytics:configure` writes `connectMeta`, `refreshMetaAccounts`, `setMetaPixel`, `disconnectMeta`, `linkMetaAdAccount`, `unlinkMetaAdAccount`, `removeMetaPixel`, `setMetaEventMap`, `syncMetaNow`) plus the internal `authorizeMetaAction`; see docs/upgrading.md for the 0.10.0 steps. - A host whose CRM takes Meta instant-form leads (Lead Ads, unreleased after 0.10.9) passes `metaLeads: true` beside `metaAds: true` (alone it throws at setup), passes `RASTRO_FEDERATION_ISSUER` and `RASTRO_FEDERATION_AUDIENCE` to the component in `app.use`, registers a form lead handler with `setFormLeadHandler`, re-exports `metaPages`, `metaForms`, `metaFormRules`, `simulateMetaFormRules`, `metaFormsReport`, `metaLinkedPages`, `linkMetaPage`, `unlinkMetaPage`, `refreshMetaForms`, `setMetaFormRules` and `returnMetaFormLead`, and asks the dashboard operator to list its deployment origin in `RASTRO_META_LEADS_DEPLOYMENT_ORIGINS`; a form lead's personal answers are never stored or logged by the component. See docs/upgrading.md. - Expose only the manifest, connection status, site summaries, reports, journeys, conversions, affiliates, funnels, goals, web vitals, coverage, tracked links, and the configure functions listed in the manifest; the configure functions run only when the token and the local grant both carry `analytics:configure`. A public link's token carries `analytics:public` alone and reaches only the manifest, connection status, site summaries, a redacted overview, redacted live visitors, and coverage, and only when the local grant lists `analytics:public`. - Use the functions URL as JWT audience and the HTTP-actions URL for tracker ingestion. - Rehearse on an explicit development target. Production changes require fresh operator consent. - Validate manifest, authenticated connection status, redacted site list, real ingestion, reactive live data, and local-first revocation. ## Public control plane - Dashboard: https://www.amagerastro.com - Functions: https://api.amagerastro.com - HTTP/auth: https://site.api.amagerastro.com - OIDC issuer: https://site.api.amagerastro.com/federation - Discovery: https://site.api.amagerastro.com/federation/.well-known/openid-configuration - JWKS: https://site.api.amagerastro.com/federation/jwks.json ## Connector limits - Protocol: `amage-rastro-analytics` version 1. - Maximum sites per connection and report request: 10. - Maximum report range: 366 days. - Overview maximum, bounded by the aggregate rows it reads: 101 days for one site and 10 for ten; hourly, 24 hours for two sites and 5 for ten. A wider range fails with `LIMIT_EXCEEDED`, a busy one with `REPORT_INCOMPLETE`. - Funnel report maximum: 90 complete UTC days. - Affiliate reports require complete UTC-day boundaries. - Vitals report maximum: 90 complete UTC days; `vitals` is an optional capability that hosts before `alpha.6` do not advertise. - Site map maximum: 90 complete UTC days, read newest day first within 8,000 route rows; older days it could not read are declared as partial coverage. `siteMap` is an optional capability that hosts before `alpha.8` do not advertise, and its data starts at the first ingest after that upgrade. - Maximum live visitors: 500. - Tracked links: at most 200 per site; slugs are 3–32 lowercase letters, digits or hyphens, unique across the deployment; `listTrackedLinks` reports clicks and bots all time and over the 30 UTC days ending on the `now` it is given. `trackedLinks` is an optional capability that hosts before 0.5.0, and hosts that did not re-export the four functions, do not advertise. - Live window: the tracker sends a `leave` when the tab hides or the page unloads, retiring the visitor about ten seconds later; a shown tab or a bfcache return sends a heartbeat at once and revives them. The safety net without a goodbye is 90 seconds since the last event or heartbeat. `POST /rastro/events` re-anchors a batch whose `sentAt` is more than 30 seconds from server time, so a wrong device clock decides neither liveness nor hour buckets. - Maximum journey events: 500. - Token lifetime: 10 minutes, RS256. Every member's token carries `analytics:read`; owners and admins also carry `analytics:configure`, which the host honors only when the local grant lists it (`configure` is an optional capability that hosts before `alpha.11` do not advertise). A public link's token carries `analytics:public` alone, plus `rastro_site_ids` naming the link's sites; hosts before `0.1.0` reject it. ## Read semantics - Times are inclusive Unix epoch milliseconds in UTC. - Origin (0.5.0+): a session is classified once, on its first touch, into `platform` (about forty ids), `channel` (twelve, `direct` to `ai` plus `offline`) and `evidence`, the rule that decided it. Decision order, first match wins: declared `utm_source`, click-ID name, referrer host by whole label, in-app browser, affiliate `ref`; nothing at all is the only way to be `direct`. `overview.topPlatforms`, `topChannels` and `topEvidence` rank them beside `topSources`; a `topPlatforms` value is the bare platform id for its default channel and `platform@channel` otherwise. `dataCoverage`'s `origin` dataset says from when a site carries origins; older sessions are classified on read, marked `evidence: "legacy"`, and never enter the aggregates. `source` is unchanged. - Goal, funnel, and affiliate reports include read-only definitions plus aggregates. Configuration writes (goals, funnels, affiliates, a site's name/domains/timezone, retention) exist only in the configure scope and fail with `FEDERATION_CONFIGURE_FORBIDDEN` for a read-only token or grant; `listSites` never returns domains, only `siteSettings` does, to a connection allowed to change them. - A public token (`analytics:public`) gets `overview` with zero `conversions` and `revenueCents` and empty `topCampaigns`, `topMediums`, `topEvents`, and `topGoals`, `liveVisitors` with `visitorId` equal to `sessionId` and without `entryPath`, `returning`, `utmCampaign`, `affiliateSlug`, `conversionCount`, or `funnel`, and `FEDERATION_PUBLIC_FORBIDDEN` for sessions, journeys, conversions, goals, funnels, affiliates, vitals, the site map, and the configure scope. - Session and visitor journeys include bounded custom properties. Hosts must never place personal data or secrets in event properties. - Spend (0.10.0+): `leadsReport` rows, `bySite`, and `leadsDaily` days carry `spendCents` in integer cents; `null` means no linked ad account covers the row, never zero. Cost per lead and return are never stored: compute them with the `@iann29/rastro/ui` helpers from counters the spend bought (ad, ad set, campaign, the `ctwa_ad` origin, a site's `paid`), and not at all when `currencyMismatch` is true. - Audit retained routes, identity strategy, sessions, live location, campaigns, affiliates, conversions, custom properties, retention, and intended organization membership before granting federation; stop if their sensitivity or audience cannot be established. - Overview ranges require complete UTC hours, complete UTC days, or (hosts from `alpha.11`, optional capability `localDays`) complete calendar days in the timezone every requested site shares; `metadata.range.timezone` names the zone the answer follows. Manual pagination honors `numItems` and `cursor` only. - Right after an accepted request, `liveVisitors` and `sessionJourney` reflect it; `listSessions` and the bucketed reports can trail it by seconds, so an empty result from those is not proof of failed ingestion. - `dataCoverage` echoes the authorized site ID but returns no event, visitor, or session IDs. - `vitalsReport` returns p75, averages, and exact good/needs-improvement/poor counts per metric, page, and device — never individual measurements. - `siteMap` returns per-route totals (pageviews, estimated visitors, entries, derived exits and bounces, time on page) and route-to-route transition counts, with numeric, UUID, and long hexadecimal segments collapsed to `:id` — never sessions, visitor IDs, or query strings. `liveVisitors` adds `previousPath` and `movedAt` when a visitor moves between routes, and since 0.1.0 the intent facts of the session — `entryPath`, `returning`, `utmCampaign`, `affiliateSlug`, `conversionCount`, and the furthest `funnel` step — which `visitorHeat` from the package turns into the dashboard's hot/warm/cold score. ## People and identity (0.6.0+) Use the [identity guide](https://www.amagerastro.com/docs/reference/identity.md) for Better Auth, custom Convex auth and authenticated HTTP from other backends. `Rastro.identifyVisitorMutation` resolves the current user on the host; `identifyVisitorHttpAction` authorizes external servers. `getVisitorProfile` requires reader access and is advertised as `visitorProfiles`. `listPeople` adds the optional `people` directory with indexed name/email/ID prefix search and exact filters on project-defined string, number or boolean attributes. Existing profiles need the bounded host-authorized search backfill described in the guide. The browser applies the returned ID with `identify` and calls `reset` on logout.
