Ludovic Marie 43138159b2 Opt-in data collection (1/5): consent, payloads, outbox and a gated uploader
horizon-telemetry, shared by the launcher, the game and the ingest server:
- consent.json in the game folder: four switches, all off until the player
  answers, a consent version that re-asks when what is collected changes, the
  answer's time, and a random install ID made at the first yes.
- Payloads: perf summaries (percentiles + 14 frame-time buckets from a
  fixed-size Timings recorder), crash and bug reports, and benchmark reports
  carried as docs/benchmark-report.md defines them; size caps per kind.
- A scrubber for user folders, user names, e-mail and IP addresses, UUIDs and
  caller-known private terms.
- The outbox: only allowed kinds get in, daily caps, 200 items / 2 MiB.
- zstd batches with bounded decoding; the uploader re-reads the consent and
  drops withdrawn items before connecting, backs off and caps batches a day.
- tests/consent_gating.rs: a local mock server sees zero connections with the
  consent missing, outdated or withdrawn.

No server is set (DEFAULT_ENDPOINT is None): nothing is sent yet.

Horizon documentation

To play, use the launcher; the project site is playhorizon.dev. These pages are for developers.

Build and run

  • Build from source: your own copy of the game, resource preparation, cargo run.
  • Native client: options, controls, the dedicated server, horizon-ctl scripting, packaging, architecture.
  • Graphics: the Simple and Advanced graphics settings, the graphics benchmark and what it measured.
  • Extras: optional zoom, minimap, FPS and keystroke overlays and auto-reconnect, all off by default.
  • Launcher: installs, updates and starts builds; its CLI and MCP server; releasing it.
  • Opt-in data collection: the consent, exactly what is sent, how it is stored and sent.
  • Menus: the title, world list, create world, multiplayer, options and pause screens share the launcher's design tokens and fonts (crates/horizon-theme), drawn by ui_theme over a live frozen backdrop (game/backdrop.rs, blurred and graded by post.rs). Options → Interface → Menu style switches to vanilla's screens (Classic, kept in horizon.txt; HORIZON_MENU_STYLE=horizon|classic overrides it, and scripted runs default to Classic). Title (webm), worlds, options, pause.
