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. NewgetScaffoldIdentity()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:

- See the exact bytes:
mex telemetry inspect. Check status withmex telemetry status. - Opt out any time (any one works):
DO_NOT_TRACK=1,MEX_TELEMETRY=0, ormex config set telemetry off. - Disabled automatically when running from a clone of the mex repo itself. Full details: TELEMETRY.md.
