+// PostHog error tracking for discovery-index (#8289, epic #8286). REPLACES Sentry entirely -- per the epic's

+// is no more sentry.ts in this package. This service runs as a long-lived Node process in a Cloudflare

-// Deliberately mirrors sentry.ts's shape (redaction, tag allowlist, capture entry points) rather than PostHog's
-// own withScope-free API design, so the two modules stay easy to compare line-for-line during the parallel-run
-// window. PostHog has no Sentry-style context/tags split -- captureException's flat properties bag carries the
-// SAME allowlisted fields sentry.ts's setAllowedTags exposes as tags (DISCOVERY_INDEX_POSTHOG_TAG_KEYS), not
-// the raw context object, so the redaction surface stays identical between the two sinks.
