Jakob Wennberg 248d98bd7e feat(analytics): remove Recapt, PostHog is now the only analytics (#1238)
* feat(analytics): remove Recapt, PostHog is now the only analytics

Recapt shuts down in days. Everything it did is covered by the PostHog
integration in the previous commit, so the SDK, its five modules and its
CSP hosts come out.

Deleted: RecaptLoader, RecaptHideWidget, RecaptIdentify, lib/recapt.ts,
types/recapt.d.ts. Unmounted from app/layout.tsx (the <script> in <head>
and the widget-hider) and from app/(dashboard)/layout.tsx. Both logout
handlers already call resetAnalyticsIdentity() and now only that.

The CSP gets strictly narrower: connect-src loses api.recapt.app and
cdn.recapt.app, script-src loses cdn.recapt.app, and nothing is added in
their place, because PostHog runs through the same-origin /rl rewrite.
Verified against the built routes-manifest.

Behaviour change worth calling out: lib/support/submit-feedback.ts is now
single-channel. Recapt used to accept the message through its own SDK, so
a failing /api/support/contact still reported success to the user. Email
is now the only delivery path and its failure is visible. That is the
right outcome, silently "succeeding" while the message reached nobody was
worse, and the Resend path is solid. A non-blocking
posthog.capture('support_feedback_submitted') keeps the useful half of
the old dual-channel behaviour by putting the submission on the user's
timeline next to the session replay; it carries no message body, since
free text is user content and would be PII in an event property. The six
Recapt-specific test cases are replaced with the email-only contract plus
coverage of the breadcrumb, the self-hosted skip, and a throwing SDK not
breaking delivery.

Compliance, which Recapt never had: the privacy page sub-processor row is
replaced (not just deleted) with an accurate PostHog row, and .compliance/
ropa.yaml gains a product.analytics activity. The old row also claimed
Recapt loaded "endast for inloggade anvandare", which was never true,
RecaptLoader sat in the root <head> on every page including logged-out
ones. The new row describes what actually happens.

* fix(analytics): purge Recapt storage left on users' devices

Removing the Recapt <script> stops it writing anything new, but every
browser that already loaded the app keeps what it persisted. Observed on
production after #1237: localStorage still holds
`__recapt_record_engine`, and after this PR nothing would ever remove it,
because the helper that used to sweep on logout (lib/recapt.ts
clearRecaptIdentity) is deleted along with the SDK.

Inert data, but it is third-party storage from a processor the privacy
page now says we no longer use, and the whole point of the PostHog
config is that nothing is stored on the device. So clear it.

Matching is by substring rather than prefix on purpose: the old sweep
tested key.startsWith('recapt'), which never actually matched the real
key, since `__recapt_record_engine` starts with underscores. A test pins
that. The app's own keys (Accounted:chat-sidebar-collapsed,
gnubok.inbox.onboarding.dismissed) contain neither marker.

Runs unconditionally from instrumentation-client.ts, before the
analytics gate, so a browser gets cleaned even on a build where PostHog
is switched off. Iterates backwards because removeItem() re-indexes the
store and a forward loop would skip entries; both covered by tests, along
with private-mode throws and the server no-op.
