Summary

Adds Pulse, cookie-free web analytics by Ciphera, to the registry as pulseAnalytics / useScriptPulseAnalytics().

  • Options domain (required), apiUrl, trackScroll, trackOutbound, trackDownloads, mapped to the tracker's data-* attributes (script reference).
  • API track(name, props?, revenue?) with the queue-before-load pattern from Rybbit/Mixpanel, plus cleanPath().
  • Capabilities: bundle: true, no proxy, no partytown.
  • Docs page, playground page, first-party fixture page, type test, no-proxy assertions in proxy-configs.test.ts, and a size-audit entry.

Why proxy is off

Pulse identifies visitors server-side from the connecting IP and user agent, so beacons routed through the Nuxt server would all arrive from one IP and collapse every visitor into one identity. Its bot filtering also counts a datacenter origin as a signal. Same family as Fathom (#720). Bundling is safe: the tracker reads its config from the script element and posts to its own API origin wherever it is served from, so no SDK patch is needed.

Notes for review

  • The tracker treats data-no-scroll and friends as presence flags, and Unhead renders a false prop as data-x="false" (present), so the composable writes '' or undefined, never a boolean. Verified on a built app: the attribute appears only when the option is false.
  • Logo: there is no vector Pulse mark yet, so the entry uses a 64x64 PNG (2.5 KB) on Ciphera's CDN, the way the Clarity entry uses an image URL. I will swap in an inline SVG when one exists.
  • The size-audit entry comes from scripts/generate-sizes.ts (3.5 KB transfer, 6.4 KB decoded, no cookies, one domain). The tracker exits under navigator.webdriver, so the API list reflects the generator's static pass over the script body.
  • Playground and fixture use domain: 'example.com', which is not a registered site: the tracker loads and every call fires, the API answers 404. Pulse accepts localhost as an origin for any registered domain, so a real domain here would record playground visits.
  • The pre-load queue is bounded: the tracker exits for Do Not Track, Global Privacy Control, ?pulse-ignore and automation without defining window.pulse, so once it has run and declined the queue is dropped and later calls are no-ops; if the script never runs at all the queue is capped at 100.
  • Tracker source: https://github.com/ciphera-net/pulse/blob/main/tracker/script.js

Test plan

  • pnpm lint, pnpm typecheck
  • test/unit/pulse-analytics-queue.test.ts: attribute mapping (presence flags only when false), queue replay in order with full arguments, drop on opt-out, cap when the script never runs
  • pnpm test:run: 1125 passed. The 3 failures (reCAPTCHA token verification, LinkedIn li_hem x2) are live-vendor timeouts that fail identically on a clean main checkout on this machine.
  • pnpm test:e2e-dev -t pulse: bundled script served from /_scripts/assets/, page reaches loaded, no script errors.
  • Built the first-party fixture and drove /pulse with navigator.webdriver disabled: the bundled asset is byte-identical to the live script, and the pageview, track('test_click', { button }) and track('purchase', { product }, 99) POSTs carry the expected bodies.

Adds Pulse (cookie-free web analytics by Ciphera) to the registry as pulseAnalytics / useScriptPulseAnalytics.

Options domain, apiUrl, trackScroll, trackOutbound and trackDownloads map to the tracker's data-* attributes. The tracker treats data-no-* as presence flags and Unhead renders a false prop as data-x="false", so the composable writes '' or undefined, never a boolean. track() calls made before load are queued and replayed once the script is in.

Bundle is on; proxy is intentionally off: Pulse identifies visitors server-side from the connecting IP and user agent, so beacons routed through the Nuxt server would collapse every visitor into one identity, and its bot filtering counts a datacenter origin as a signal.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Pulse Analytics is added as a bundle-only registry script with typed options and runtime support. The composable maps configuration to script attributes, queues calls before loading, and exposes tracking methods. Documentation covers direct beacons, options, defaults, and event tracking. Playground and first-party fixtures demonstrate usage. Metadata, logos, sizes, type checks, end-to-end checks, and proxy exclusions are added.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 91770

The Pulse integration’s queue, opt-out handling, direct beacon behavior, and registry coverage are represented by the supplied implementation and test evidence. No unresolved merge-blocking risk remains.

- Line 76: Bound the event queue used by track when isPulseReady() remains
false, so repeated calls cannot grow it indefinitely. Update the queue handling
around getPulseState() and track to enforce a finite capacity and discard new
events beyond that limit, while preserving normal queuing before Pulse becomes
ready.

…er loads

The pre-load queue could grow for the life of the page whenever isPulseReady() never became true. That is the normal case for an opted-out visitor: the tracker sets window.__pulseInstalled and then exits on Do Not Track, Global Privacy Control, the ?pulse-ignore toggle or automation without ever defining window.pulse.

Once the tracker has run and declined, the queue is dropped and later track() calls are no-ops; if the script never runs at all, the queue is capped at 100 entries. Covered by a unit test that also pins the data-* presence-flag mapping.

Hi, you seem to be the author of Pulse Analytics, would you be open to accepting X-Forwarded-For headers so proxy can work?

I understand privacy is a cornerstone feature of your product but Nuxt Scripts aims to be zero-trust where possible.

Thanks, and yes, I'm the author. Not today, for a reason that's about forgery rather than privacy: Pulse derives visitor identity and its datacenter-origin signal from the connecting IP, and the backend trusts only the client-IP header our edge overwrites. X-Forwarded-For is the header any client can send, and the proxy has no way to authenticate itself since #783 removed request signing, so a forged request would be indistinguishable from one your server relayed. Accepting it would let a single header mint unlimited visitors and bypass bot classification.

The path I'd be open to: if the proxy could attach a per-app secret header from runtime config, Pulse could add a per-site "trusted proxy secret" and accept the forwarded IP only when it verifies. That's work on both sides, so I'd rather land this as bundle-only now, the same shape as Fathom, and revisit proxy if that lands.

On the red test job: basic > reload method re-executes script timed out waiting for the fixture's first "Script -- Loaded" line; it passes locally on this branch and was green on the previous commit, so it looks like a runner flake if you're able to re-run it.

Sounds like a good solution 👍 I'm happy to get this merged and we can support that when it's available?

I'll sort out the CI

Great, thank you. Happy to build the Pulse side of the trusted-proxy path once the header exists, so proxy can come in as a follow-up. Appreciate you sorting the CI.

The directory moved to per-plugin YAML self-submission since RELEASING.md was
written: the canonical repo is DocusaurusCommunity/website and each entry is a
file in data/plugins/<author>.<plugin-short-name>.yaml. The Discussion-comment
route documented here was already stale. The caveat that caught it was in this
file, which is the argument for writing caveats when you learn the fact.

Took the manual fork-and-PR route over the recommended issue-form bot: a YAML
file can be validated against their published JSON schema before submission,
whereas a hand-built issue body is a guess at a parser whose failure mode is a
malformed draft PR for a maintainer to clean up.

Entry derived from three accepted entries that agree on the shape, schema
validated, and id checked unique against all 82 existing entries.
minimumVersion is 3.0.0 — the measured floor, not the newest version tested.

Their CI passes. The skipped Deploy is an upstream fork policy requiring a
maintainer-only label, the same shape as the Vercel gate on nuxt/scripts#899.
