Emberbird
Ember Observatory • Phase P5 • Zero-PII Telemetry

Ember Observatory & Transparency Hub

The Ember Observatory provides public visibility into subsystem release health, policy recommendations, channel statuses, and community compatibility telemetry. Operating under a strict zero-PII doctrine, all telemetry is aggregated and cryptographically verifiable.

Data notice: Metrics shown below reflect aggregate public telemetry and automated release validation reports from the frozen Release Registry (releases.json). Zero personal, device, or network identifiers are collected.

Observatory Recommendation Engine

Why "Recommended" Differs from "Latest"

Bleeding-edge releases often introduce untested regressions. The Ember Observatory executes an automated telemetry scoring algorithm across all published releases to designate the authoritative Recommended Release:

  • Base Score: Each release starts with 100 points upon initial publication.
  • GApps & Root Stability (+20 pts): Awarded to builds providing seamless Play Store and stable root management without crashing system services.
  • Validation Reports (+10 pts / report): Earned when package identity, Magisk integrity, and OpenGApps images pass 100% of CI validation checks.
  • Field Telemetry Protection (-50 pts penalty): Triggered if user-reported regressions or Play Integrity failures are detected in testing.
