Fixes critical issue where Docker and cloud deployments generated new anonymous user IDs on every container recreation, causing 100-200x inflation in unique user counts. Changes: - Use host's boot_id for stable identification across container updates - Auto-detect Docker (IS_DOCKER=true) and 8 cloud platforms - Defensive fallback chain: boot_id → combined signals → generic ID - Zero configuration required Impact: - Resolves ~1000x/month inflation in stdio mode - Resolves ~180x/month inflation in HTTP mode (6 releases/day) - Improves telemetry accuracy: 3,996 apparent users → ~2,400-2,800 actual Testing: - 18 new unit tests for boot_id functionality - 16 new integration tests for Docker/cloud detection - All 60 telemetry tests passing (100%) 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>
