Updates Since Last Revision

Based on feedback, the implementation was changed from PostHog event logging to file-based debug logging:

  • Removed PostHog event logging from validateWorkspaces.ts
  • Added detailed validation metrics to the existing DebugLogger class
  • Scope changed from fern check to fern docs dev codepaths only

Changes Made

  • Added ValidationMetrics interface to validateDocsWorkspaceAndLogIssues.ts and runAppPreviewServer.ts
  • Updated validateDocsWorkspaceWithoutExiting to return detailed validation metrics
  • Enhanced DebugLogger.logCliValidation to accept optional detailed metrics
  • Updated runAppPreviewServer.ts to pass validation metrics to the debug logger
  • Updated devDocsWorkspace.ts validateProject callback to return metrics
  • Tracks the following metrics in debug.log:
    • errorCount / warningCount / totalViolationCount
    • success - boolean indicating if validation passed
    • violationsBySeverity - count of violations grouped by severity (fatal/error/warning)
    • elapsedMillis - validation duration

Testing

  • Manual testing completed (lint checks pass, build passes)
  • CI checks pass
  • Unit tests added/updated

Human Review Checklist

  • versions.yml mismatch: The changelog entry mentions "fern check" but implementation is for "fern docs dev" - may need correction
  • Verify ValidationMetrics interface duplication (in two files) is acceptable
  • Confirm debug.log output format meets analytics requirements
  • Ensure no sensitive data is being logged in the validation metrics

Good catch! That was an accidental removal of the space when I was editing nearby code. Fixed in 9ef812a.
