Description

## Feature Request

Integrate Sentry for real-time error tracking, performance monitoring, and crash reporting in the Electron application.

## Description

Sentry provides comprehensive error monitoring that will help identify, track, and resolve issues in production, improving app stability and user experience.

## Why Sentry?

### Key Benefits
- Real-time error tracking and alerts
- Detailed stack traces with source maps
- User context and breadcrumbs
- Performance monitoring
- Release tracking and regression detection
- Error grouping and deduplication
- Integration with GitHub for issue tracking
- Support for both main and renderer processes

## Implementation Requirements

### Core Integration
- Install @sentry/electron package
- Configure for both main and renderer processes
- Set up source map uploading
- Environment configuration (dev/staging/prod)
- User privacy controls (PII scrubbing)
- Error sampling rates

### Error Capture Features
```javascript
// Main process
Sentry.init({
dsn: process.env.SENTRY_DSN,
environment: process.env.NODE_ENV,
integrations: [
new Sentry.Integrations.MainProcessSession(),
new Sentry.Integrations.ElectronMinidump(),
new Sentry.Integrations.PreloadInjection(),
new Sentry.Integrations.AdditionalContext(),
],
beforeSend: (event) => {
// Scrub sensitive data
return event;
},
sampleRate: 1.0,
tracesSampleRate: 0.1,
});

// Renderer process
Sentry.init({
dsn: process.env.SENTRY_DSN,
integrations: [
new Sentry.Integrations.Breadcrumbs(),
new Sentry.Integrations.GlobalHandlers(),
],
});
```

### Error Context Enrichment
- User identification (anonymized)
- App version and release info
- OS and hardware information
- Network status
- Memory usage
- Custom tags and metadata
- User actions breadcrumbs
- Console logs capture

### Performance Monitoring
- Transaction tracking
- API call performance
- Renderer process metrics
- Memory leak detection
- Slow operation alerts
- Custom performance metrics

### Crash Reporting
- Native crash handling
- Minidump processing
- Automatic crash report submission
- Crash-free rate tracking
- Crash grouping by version

### Privacy & Compliance
- GDPR compliance settings
- PII data scrubbing rules
- User consent management
- Data retention policies
- IP anonymization
- Opt-out mechanism

### CI/CD Integration
- Automatic release creation
- Source map upload on build
- Deploy tracking
- GitHub commit association
- Release health monitoring

### Alert Configuration
- Error rate thresholds
- New error type alerts
- Regression notifications
- Performance degradation alerts
- Crash spike detection
- Custom alert rules

## Development Workflow

### Local Development
- Sentry tunnel for local testing
- Debug mode configuration
- Mock error generation
- Performance profiling tools

### Staging Environment
- Separate Sentry project
- Lower sampling rates
- Test error scenarios
- Performance benchmarking

### Production Monitoring
- Full error capture
- Release tracking
- User feedback collection
- Issue prioritization

## Dashboard & Reporting

- Error trends and patterns
- Release adoption and health
- Performance metrics
- User impact analysis
- Custom dashboards
- Weekly error reports

## Error Handling Best Practices

```javascript
// Structured error handling
try {
await riskyOperation();
} catch (error) {
Sentry.captureException(error, {
tags: {
section: 'data-processing',
action: 'file-upload'
},
contexts: {
userData: {
plan: user.plan,
feature_flags: user.features
}
},
level: 'error'
});

// Still handle error gracefully for user
showUserFriendlyError();
}

// Custom error boundaries
class ErrorBoundary extends React.Component {
componentDidCatch(error, errorInfo) {
Sentry.withScope((scope) => {
scope.setExtras(errorInfo);
Sentry.captureException(error);
});
}
}
```

## Cost Considerations

- Free tier: 5K errors/month
- Team plan: $26/month for 50K errors
- Custom volume discounts available
- Performance monitoring add-on
- Data retention options

## Acceptance Criteria

- [ ] Sentry SDK integrated in main and renderer processes
- [ ] Source maps uploaded automatically on build
- [ ] Errors are captured with full context
- [ ] Performance monitoring is functional
- [ ] Crash reports are collected
- [ ] Privacy settings implemented
- [ ] User opt-out mechanism available
- [ ] Alerts configured for critical errors
- [ ] Dashboard shows meaningful metrics
- [ ] Documentation for error handling patterns
- [ ] GitHub integration configured
- [ ] Release tracking works
- [ ] No performance degradation from SDK
