The Settings tab

The Settings tab holds Trove’s app-level configuration: how it keeps itself up to date, and the optional identity overlay that stamps who generated each signal onto the telemetry stream.

Trove can keep itself current. The Settings tab exposes the auto-update toggle and a manual Check for updates control, so you can either let new versions arrive on their own or pull them on demand. Updates are delivered from Trove’s public GitHub Releases — there’s no SaaS account and no separate updater daemon to babysit.

Identity tagging is an opt-in overlay that adds two resource attributes to every signal Trove forwards:

  • user.name
  • user.email

Because these are resource attributes — set once per harness session, not per-data-point — they scope a metric series to a person without inflating cardinality. Combined with the harness.id attribute every signal already carries, identity tagging is what powers the per-person, per-tool views your team cares about: which engineer is using which tool, and the dead-seat detection that surfaces paid licenses with zero activity.

Once enabled, your queries can group and filter on user.name / user.email exactly as they do on harness.id. A finance dashboard can roll cost up by person; an engineering dashboard can show per-engineer turn counts across a mixed-harness team — all from the same normalized Tier A metrics.
