  • mex feedback — opt in to a quick form if you'd like to shape where mex goes (the maintainer is doing user calls). Opens a web form; the CLI never reads or sends an email.
  • Scaffold identity — every scaffold gets a stable, random scaffold_id. New getScaffoldIdentity() public API.
  • broken-link drift checker — flags Markdown links pointing at files that don't exist.

Anonymous, opt-out usage counting (built transparency-first)

mex now counts command usage so the project can see what's actually used. It's designed to be audited and disabled in seconds:

  • Only 6 fields are ever sent: a random machine id, a random scaffold id, the command name, mex version, OS, and Node version. Never your code, file names, paths, arguments, repo name, IP, or location.
  • See the exact bytes: mex telemetry inspect. Check status with mex telemetry status.
  • Opt out any time (any one works): DO_NOT_TRACK=1, MEX_TELEMETRY=0, or mex config set telemetry off.
  • Disabled automatically when running from a clone of the mex repo itself. Full details: TELEMETRY.md.
