PostHog computes the cookieless distinct ID from the IP, user agent and host, and drops cookieless events without $ip (cookieless_missing_ip). before_send set $ip to null on every event, so PostHog accepted them and then discarded all of them. The project's "Discard client IP data" setting removes the IP after hashing instead. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 (1M context) <[email protected]>

No events have been reaching PostHog. The app sends cookieless events, and PostHog builds each visitor's anonymous ID by hashing their IP, user agent and host. Our `before_send` set `$ip: null` on every event. PostHog's capture endpoint still answered 200, but ingestion then dropped every event as `cookieless_missing_ip` (PostHog's notes).
`pnpm validate` passes (538 tests).
