Privacy and telemetry
Telemetry is off by default. No data leaves your machine unless you explicitly opt in:
kiro-kit telemetry status # check current state
kiro-kit telemetry enable # opt in (anonymous events only)
kiro-kit telemetry disable # opt outOpt-in events include command name, preset selection, OS, and Node version. Never file contents, paths, or PII.
