Replace the pre-classified store (visits/crawlers/abuse lists written at
collection time, plus abuse_ips and in-memory pending/session tables) with
a raw append-only log: one Get record per document GET (full path, true
HTTP status, referer origin, preload flag) and one Msg per /_ws activity
message. Visitor/crawler/abuse classification, visit grouping (30-minute
inactivity gap), status/referer/UTM attribution and all aggregates are
derived in Store.display(), so future rule changes never invalidate stored
data. The viewer payload keeps its exact shape.
Fixes structurally:
- Abuser 404s on slug-format paths showed up as "articles read": the
not-found branch recorded the request twice through separate status
plumbing. Each request is now recorded once with its true status.
- 404 trail links never rendered red: cache-served navigations issue no
GET and the only real GET (the idle preload) was discarded before status
recording. Preloads are now recorded with pre=True, never counted, and
used for status attribution.
- formatAbuseRows merged a path's 404 probes and 200 reads into one entry;
the collapse is now keyed by (path, status class).
Rule improvements enabled by the redesign:
- The plain-404 abuse threshold counts within a 1-hour sliding window, so
long-time readers accumulating misses never classify (scanners spray).
- Hidden (admin) clients never trigger abuse classification: editing means
visiting not-found pages.
- /.well-known/ probes (RFC 8615, e.g. Chrome devtools) are never abuse
evidence; //foo-style empty path segments are an instant telltale.
- Visits can no longer open on an external exit URL; favicon fetches skip
hidden clients' referers/exits.
Legacy analytics.json files are set aside as .bak-legacy on startup.
Visits with under 5 s of total reported reading time are JS-running bots:
display() converts them to crawler hits (one per trail page, with referer
and UTM query) and excludes them from every aggregate. Crawler referers
join the favicon fetch origins and render with their icon in the crawler
table. Abuse hits now record the real response status, so the abuse table
splits 404 probes from the articles the abuser actually read (200 GETs),
shown as trail links like the visitor/crawler tables.
The first positional CLI argument (default localhost) names the site's
public hostname and its data directory under the cwd, replacing the
CWD-relative pagerite.* files. The public origin (https://<hostname>)
is now authoritative configuration instead of a value learned from
admin browsers: POST /_api/site-url, Data.site_url and the pagerite.js
reporter are removed, and page rendering, sitemap, robots.txt and
analytics own_origin all use SITE_URL consistently (localhost falls
back to the request's base URL).
Document GETs now stash their status (200/404) in a pending table,
consumed by the matching ping: visits gain a per-path statuses map and
crawler hits a status field. Trail links with a 404 status render in
red with the status code in the tooltip, alongside the read time.
- keep visitor charts y-axis minimum range at 10
- keep 'all' chart x-axis minimum span at 30 days
- group crawler hits by (ip, ua) and list top pages visited, show crawler page load counts as N× prefix
- store and display geoip city, keep geoip country overwrite
- stream live updates over WebSocket /_api/ws/analytics
- include family ring arcs in transition map crop bounds
- remove top UA summary, limit crawlers to 10 and visits to 20
- human-readable relative timestamps with UTC tooltip
Add server-side visit analytics collection, a public-page ping endpoint,
and a full-screen AnalyticsView for admins.
Backend:
- Add pagerite/analytics.py: Analytics/Visit model, Store, and persistence
- Wire /_a ping endpoint and GET /_api/analytics into pagerite/app.py
Frontend:
- Add full-screen AnalyticsView with visitor charts and transition map
- Add VisitorCharts and TransitionGraph subcomponents
- Add analytics JS helpers in frontend/src/analytics/
- Send navigation pings from frontend/src/pagerite.js
- Mount AnalyticsView from frontend/src/main.js
- Document the feature in docs/analytics.md and update AGENTS.md
