VS Code Phones Home. Land Does Not.
VS Code (not VSCodium) embeds Microsoft telemetry at the network call level. Disabling it via settings reduces what is sent - it does not remove the code paths.The Telemetry feature is not in Land's default build. When it is not compiled in, the code does not exist. Nothing to disable.
Telemetry Policy
Full disclosure on what Land collects - and what it does not.
Not disabled. Absent.
Disabled
VS Code's telemetry can be reduced via settings, but the code paths remain in the binary. Land's Telemetry feature is not compiled in by default. The code does not exist in the binary. There is nothing to disable.
Telemetry is a Cargo feature flag, not in default features. Must be explicitly opted in at compile time.
No crash reporter. No upload. No Microsoft endpoints.
Disabled
VS Code (not VSCodium) includes Microsoft telemetry endpoints that make network calls regardless of settings. Land's CC0 base has all of these removed at the source level. No external error endpoints, no silent uploads.
CC0 -licensed Code-OSS base with all Microsoft telemetry endpoints removed.
No DO_NOT_TRACK header needed.
Disabled
There is nothing to track. No usage analytics, no pageview beacons, no feature flag pings. The concept of opting out does not apply when there is no telemetry system.
Absent code has zero runtime cost.
Active
VS Code's telemetry code occupies memory and CPU even when "disabled" - the functions exist, the branches run, the results are just dropped. Rust's cfg(feature) gates eliminate dead code at compile time. A feature that is not compiled in costs exactly zero.
Rust cfg(feature) gates eliminate dead code at compile time.
Need traces? Opt in. Your infrastructure only.
Optional
Running Land in a production deployment and need distributed traces? Enable OpenTelemetry with a single compile flag. Metrics, spans, and distributed tracing on your own infrastructure. No external transmission.

Extension host timing stays in the process.
Active
Cocoon uses Effect-TS's TelemetryService to track internal RPC and bootstrap timing - the data used to make the extension host faster. Nothing leaves the process. TelemetryMock layer for zero-overhead testing.
