Self-hosted installs that inherited POSTHOG_API_KEY from an example or
older deploy were still seeing SyncUser/SendEvent jobs run because the
gate was based on the api key alone. Switches the gate to an explicit
'services.posthog.enabled' flag (env: POSTHOG_ENABLED, default false)
and requires both enabled=true AND api_key for tracking to fire.
Backend gating:
- PostHogService::isEnabled() — single static helper used everywhere.
- AppServiceProvider::configurePostHog — skips PostHog::init when off.
- CreateUser::execute — does not enqueue SyncUser when off.
- SyncUser::handle, TrackBilling::handle, SendEvent::handle — early
return before any DB query so the queue worker does no work.
Frontend gating:
- New VITE_POSTHOG_ENABLED env var mirrored from POSTHOG_ENABLED.
- initializePostHog, syncPostHogContext, capturePageview all gated.
Tests updated to set both flags on the happy path; adds explicit
'CreateUser does not dispatch SyncUser when PostHog is disabled'.
Deploy note: the trypost.it cloud .env must set POSTHOG_ENABLED=true
before this branch is merged or analytics will go dark.
