+ * - Error Reporting (Sentry): Crash reports, errors, breadcrumbs, device info
+ * - Session Replay: Screen recordings on errors (disabled by default)
+ * 
+ * Privacy-First Defaults:
+ * - Analytics: Disabled by default
+ * - Error Reporting: Enabled (no PII) by default for stability
+ * - Session Replay: Disabled by default
+ * - PII Collection: Disabled by default
