Key principles

• Environment variables: Always use environment variables for PostHog keys and host URLs. Never hardcode them.
• Minimal changes: Add error tracking alongside existing error handling. Don't replace or restructure existing error handling code.
• Autocapture first: Enable exception autocapture in the SDK initialization before adding manual captures.
• Source maps: Upload source maps so stack traces resolve to original source code, not minified bundles.
• Manual capture for boundaries: Use

  captureException()

  at error boundaries and catch blocks for errors that don't propagate to the global handler.
