# 12 — Platforms, Hosted Sharing, Observability (https://jackin.tailrocks.com/reference/research/session-capture/12-platforms-and-observability/) # 12 — Platforms, Hosted Sharing, Observability [#12--platforms-hosted-sharing-observability] **Research conducted:** 2026-07-03 (tier B/C unless noted). This chapter covers everything that is not a local OSS exporter: commercial capture products, sharing built into the agents themselves, analytics dashboards, and telemetry pipelines. SpecStory Cloud is covered in [01](/reference/research/session-capture/01-specstory-product/). ## Commercial capture products [#commercial-capture-products] ### Mantra — the most direct SpecStory alternative [#mantra--the-most-direct-specstory-alternative] Local-first desktop "time machine" that auto-captures Claude Code, Cursor, and Gemini CLI sessions by reading their native stores, then **maps every conversation turn to git history** with automatic per-turn snapshots: scrub a timeline of user messages / AI responses / commits, diff or restore code state at any message. Full-text search, secret detection, optional web publish. Free, no sign-up, but **closed source** (releases-only repo, 8★, no license; release 2026-07-01). No Codex/Copilot coverage. Sources: [mantra.gonewx.com](https://mantra.gonewx.com/), [mantra-releases](https://github.com/mantra-hq/mantra-releases), [docs: vs-alternatives](https://docs.mantra.gonewx.com/en/about/mantra-vs-alternatives). The turn↔git-state correlation is the same problem SpecStory's unreleased provenance engine attacks (±5 s window matching, [02](/reference/research/session-capture/02-specstory-cli-internals/)) — two independent products converging on "conversation turns joined to code changes" as the next frontier past raw capture. ### LeanMCP AI Gateway — capture by proxy [#leanmcp-ai-gateway--capture-by-proxy] Commercial SaaS: point `ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL` at their gateway and every request/file-read/token is logged server-side into a hosted dashboard. Sees wire-level traffic including system prompts — at the price of routing all code and prompts through a third party. The associated 2,103★ repo is an awesome-list funnel, not the product.

Metrics/logs, no conversation content. [Docs](https://grafana.com/docs/grafana-cloud/monitor-infrastructure/integrations/integration-reference/integration-claude-code/), [dashboard](https://grafana.com/grafana/dashboards/25052-claude-code/). * **Langfuse coding-agent ingestion**: three routes — Claude Code plugin, Stop-hook → trace converter (this one does capture full conversations), or OTLP env vars. Caveat: Claude Code emits OTel *logs*, not traces, so bridges are needed ([discussion #9088](https://github.com/orgs/langfuse/discussions/9088)).

Mantra is closest in spirit but closed, desktop-bound, 3-agent. Orchestrators keep history captive; analytics tools drop content; telemetry pipelines drop content by design (OTel never exports thinking; GenAI semconv content fields are opt-in). 2. **Native vendor sharing is rising** (Amp threads, opencode share, Codex sync) — but it is per-vendor, cloud-tied, and inconsistent; Amp even *withdrew* public sharing. Cross-agent normalization remains unclaimed ground. 3. **The provenance frontier is live**: Mantra's git time-travel and SpecStory's provenance engine both join turns to code state — the capability layer above capture, and one jackin❯ is structurally positioned for (it owns the container, the workspace mounts, and the git materialization).
