Description

It be great to have an opt-in error reporting feature where we send exception messages including errors to one of our Matomo's or so. This would make it easier to troubleshoot issue and sometimes we could maybe identify and fix issues before a user has the chance to report it and we can fix issues that users might not report and instead just stop using the plugin. This way the next time someone runs into the same issue it will be fixed ideally or we are aware of it.

It has to be opt-in. We would send anonymous data only.

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Begin by clarifying the opt-in flow, anonymous data requirements, and Matomo destination, then map the plugin's error handling and reporting paths; done means an opt-in-only feature that sends only approved anonymous exception data and can be verified without user consent being assumed.
