On a maintainer's Mac the compatibility-database key is in the Keychain, so a
test that reached install reporting published fake reports. Every test module
now imports tests/sandbox.py first, which points app data at a throwaway
directory (new FRAME_CONTROL_DATA_DIR), turns telemetry off and sends the
database nowhere.

- Analytics go to the maintainer's PostHog US project 343535, tagged
$lib = frame-control. Every event carries $ip 0.0.0.0, since PostHog
stores the sender's address otherwise (checked live), including events
queued by earlier versions.
- Report a problem sends a private problem_report event to PostHog instead
of a public GitHub issue, with its own random id so a contact address
can't be linked to analytics. The dialog asks how to reach the person and
shows a reference. Maintainers read reports on the PostHog dashboard or
with `python3 ui/frame_report.py inbox`.
- Community sync pages by timestamp in UTC: PostHog refuses OFFSET for
personal API keys.

- Anonymous PostHog analytics (ui/frame_telemetry.py): usage on by default
after a first-run notice; compatibility results and error details opt-in,
offered together by the notice's "Share more to help fix problems" button.
Random id, no person profiles or GeoIP, scrubbed text, an offline outbox,
and "Show what's been sent" in the new Privacy panel. Inert without a
project key, from a source checkout, or with DO_NOT_TRACK=1.
- APK installs now record install_failed when the APK itself won't install,
and offer a 20-second test after installing. Opted-in reports reach the
shared database through PostHog and `frame_compat_db.py sync`.
- The desktop app updates itself from published releases (app/updater.js):
update.json from releases/latest/download, SHA-256 checked, no downgrades;
macOS bundle swap, Windows NSIS, Linux AppImage, otherwise the release page.
scripts/publish-release.sh publishes a tested draft with its manifest.
- Report a problem (header button, Privacy panel, Help menu) files a GitHub
issue through the website's feedback API, with a previewed, scrubbed
diagnostics snapshot; activity and logs only when asked for.
