B116. Automatic active count, in 0.11.0 before the tag.

What NODE sends

• Once a day while NODE is in use (window focused, input in the last two minutes), one request: { "v": "0.11.0", "os": "mac", "w": true, "m": true }.
• w and m say whether this is the first count this week and this month. That's how weekly and monthly users get counted without any id.
• Nothing else: no id, pages, addresses or keywords. Node's fetch, so no cookies or browser session.
• Installed copies only. npm start and test runs send nothing, unless a test sets NODE_ACTIVE_API.
• NODE keeps only the day, week and month of the last count it sent. A failed send is tried again later; the user never sees an error.

Where it's said (on by default, no prompt, as the backlog row says)

• Welcome screen: "NODE sends one anonymous count a day: its version and your operating system, nothing else. Turn it off in Settings → Help."
• Settings → Help: Send one anonymous count a day, with what it sends. Saved with the Save button, like the other settings there.
• 0.11.0 release notes: at the top, and in a new "What NODE sends" section.
• README "What NODE sends": a new row, and the "sends no usage data" sentence changed.
• The privacy page (B74) isn't built yet; the switch goes there when it is.

The server (the share Worker, same Cloudflare account)

• POST /api/active checks the shape and stores one empty R2 object: a/<day>/<os>/<version>/<marks>/<random>.
• No address is stored. It's used only for a limit of 5 counts a minute, in memory. Observability stays off.
• A new R2 rule deletes counts after 400 days.
• GET /api/active?days=30 gives counts per day (by OS and version), per ISO week and per month. It needs a token: add a repository secret NODE_STATS_TOKEN (any long random text) and the deploy workflow sets it on the Worker. Without it, nobody can read the counts.
• Merging this deploys the Worker (the deploy workflow runs on changes to worker/).

Tests

• test/active-count-demo.js (npm run test:active, in test:unit).
• 4 more checks in test/share-worker-demo.js.
• New test/e2e/55-active-count.js (11 checks), in both CI e2e lists.
• Locally: test:unit, and e2e 01, 20, 23, 40 and 41 still pass.
