PR Evaluation Report

Summary

This PR adds a comprehensive server-side PostHog analytics integration to a Laravel 12 SaaS application. It introduces a PostHogService wrapper class, tracks authentication events (login, logout, signup, social auth), subscription lifecycle events (checkout, plan swap, billing portal), profile management events, and includes exception tracking. The implementation follows Laravel conventions using dependency injection throughout controllers and Livewire components.

Files changed	Lines added	Lines removed
20	+474	-101

Confidence score: 4/5 👍

• Missing subscription success tracking for Stripe path: The subscription_created event only fires in demo mode; real Stripe subscriptions via checkout redirect don't trigger a completion event
• No reverse proxy configuration: Events are sent directly to us.i.posthog.com, which can be blocked by ad blockers
• Missing page view tracking: Server-side integration lacks automatic page view capture

App sanity check: 4/5 ✅

Criteria	Result	Description
App builds and runs	Yes	No breaking changes; PostHog SDK properly installed via Composer
Preserves existing env vars & configs	Yes	New env vars appended to .env.example, existing configs unchanged
No syntax or type errors	Yes	All PHP files have valid syntax and proper type hints
Correct imports/exports	Yes	All imports properly added (PostHogService, Auth facade where needed)
Minimal, focused changes	Yes	Changes focused on PostHog integration; whitespace changes are minor (Laravel Pint style)

Issues

• posthog-setup-report.md references actual API key: The report shows a hardcoded PostHog API key in the documentation. While this is likely a project-specific key, documentation files shouldn't contain actual credentials. [LOW]

Other completed criteria

• Environment variables properly documented in .env.example
• Dependency injection used consistently across all integrations
• Error handling preserved in existing flows
• Existing app logic and business rules unchanged
• Laravel coding standards followed (PSR-4, proper namespacing)

---

PostHog implementation: 4/5 ✅

Criteria	Result	Description
PostHog SDKs installed	Yes	posthog/posthog-php: ^4.0 added to composer.json and composer.lock
PostHog client initialized	Yes	Singleton pattern in PostHogService constructor with PostHog::init(), configurable via environment variables
capture()	Yes	Wrapper method in PostHogService, used for 13 distinct events across auth, subscription, and profile flows
identify()	Yes	Wrapper method calls PostHog::identify() with distinctId and properties; called on login, signup, and social auth
Error tracking	Yes	captureException() method captures `` events with type, message, file, line, and stack trace
Reverse proxy	No	Events sent directly to us.i.posthog.com; no reverse proxy configuration

Issues

• No reverse proxy for ad blocker bypass: Direct PostHog host configuration means events may be blocked by browser ad blockers. For server-side PHP integration this is less critical than client-side JS, but consider documenting this limitation. [LOW]
• Missing subscription success event for Stripe path: When Stripe is configured, checkout redirects to Stripe and back—no subscription_created event fires. Consider adding a webhook handler or success page event. [MEDIUM]
• No page view tracking: Server-side integration doesn't capture page views. This is acceptable for a backend-only implementation, but client-side JS would provide fuller coverage. [LOW]

Other completed criteria

• API key stored in environment variable (POSTHOG_API_KEY), not hardcoded
• Proper host configuration via POSTHOG_HOST env var
• Disable flag (POSTHOG_DISABLED) for development/testing
• Debug mode tied to APP_DEBUG
• Feature flag methods (isFeatureEnabled, getFeatureFlagPayload) available for future use
• Consistent disabled checks in all methods
• User email used as distinctId for consistent identification

PostHog insights and events: 4/5 ✅

Filename	PostHog events	Description
login.blade.php	user_logged_in	Tracks password-based logins with login_method property
register.blade.php	user_signed_up	Captures new user registrations with signup_method
SocialiteController.php	user_logged_in_social, ``	Social auth tracking with provider and is_new_user flag; error capture on auth failure
routes/auth.php	user_logged_out	Session termination tracking
SubscriptionController.php	subscription_checkout_started, subscription_created, subscription_plan_swapped, billing_portal_visited, ``	Full subscription funnel: checkout initiation, demo subscription creation, plan changes, portal access
forgot-password.blade.php	password_reset_requested	Tracks password recovery flow initiation
update-password-form.blade.php	password_changed	Tracks successful password updates
update-profile-information-form.blade.php	profile_updated, email_verification_sent	Profile changes with email_changed/name_changed flags
delete-user-form.blade.php	account_deleted	Churn event with date_joined and was_subscribed properties

Issues

• Missing subscription completion for real Stripe flow: The subscription funnel lacks a completion event when users return from Stripe checkout. This creates a gap in funnel analysis. [MEDIUM]
• No failed login tracking: Only successful logins are tracked; failed authentication attempts are not captured. [LOW]

Other completed criteria

• Events represent real user actions and product flows
• Churn event (account_deleted) includes relevant context (date_joined, was_subscribed)
• Subscription events enriched with plan_name, plan_price, plan_id
• Social login includes provider and is_new_user for acquisition analysis
• Profile updates track what changed (email_changed, name_changed)
• Plan swap includes previous_plan for upgrade/downgrade analysis
• Exception tracking captures full error context (type, message, file, line, stack trace)
• Events support building signup funnel, retention analysis, and churn correlation
