ux: no email capture at init — blocks user outreach permanently #673
Description
Problem
Telemetry analysis shows zero emails captured from any user who has run squads init. We cannot contact a single user who has ever installed squads-cli.
Impact
- No contactable identifiers for user outreach or feedback
- GitHub stargazers exist but cannot be correlated to telemetry users
- If a user bounces after init, we have no way to follow up and learn why
Proposed Fix
Add opt-in email prompt during squads init:
? Email (optional, for product updates and support): _
Requirements:
- Opt-in only (skip with Enter)
- Store locally in
.squads/config.json(user-visible, deletable) - Fire as telemetry event
cli.email_captured(one-time) - Never share externally without consent
- Clear value proposition: "we'll only use this for product updates and support"
Why Now
Without contact info, all user research depends on passive signals. One field at init could unlock direct user feedback loops.
