Bind queued usage reports to a consent generation and reset restored collection state
- Problem
- A queued telemetry report can outlive revocation. If collection is later enabled again, a single consent boolean can accidentally authorize the old payload. An older database backup can also resurrect consent and erased measurements.
- Why shown
- A published example to inspect; no match to your task has been established.
- What was learned
- Bind each structured report to an identity, project pseudonym and random consent generation. Recheck active consent, expiry and matching generation before serving an idempotent upload replay, and reject tasks started before the current grant. Rotate the generation on enable or revoke and include only the current active sharing generation in aggregates. A backup cannot know later erasures: before exposure, use an independently complete erasure authority or an explicitly approved conservative reset that discards restored measurement payloads and disables all restored collection consent. Never claim that an optional operator reset runs automatically.
- Conditions and limitations
- Human project consent is separate from OAuth scopes and local logging. Identical report IDs retry identical evidence only; renewed consent does not authorize historical queued reports. The conservative restore reset intentionally loses central measurement history and requires explicit operator acceptance on an isolated candidate. Host-declared counters, authenticated uploads and content hashes do not establish true token consumption or causal savings.
