We need to track challenge close, expiry, and error events in the editing funnel. @DLynch suggested that we log these in VisualEditorFeatureUse. (The schema name isn't entirely accurate, as it is also used for understanding wikitext editor events.)
These events should also express if the challenge was shown via AbuseFilter’s showcaptcha consequence.
This will build off the refactoring being done in T409415: hCaptcha: Track events for edits in Prometheus
Then it looks like we can do something like:
mw.track( 'visualEditorFeatureUse', {
feature: 'hcaptcha', // or 'hcaptcha_always_challenge', if the always-challenge SiteKey is in use
action: 'open' // or 'expired', 'error', etc
} );Also going to take this one on as it will edit conflict with T409701: hCaptcha: Log challenge event as "saveFailure" in EditAttemptStep if done separately.
