refactor(telemetry): simplify by eliminating TelemetryFacade
**Problem:**
The telemetry system had unnecessary abstraction layers and bad practices
from the last 3 commits introducing the gateway implementation:
- TelemetryFacade class wrapper around emit() function
- String literals instead of SignalType enum
- Dictionary mapping enum → string instead of enum → enum
- Unnecessary ENTERPRISE_TELEMETRY_GATEWAY_ENABLED feature flag
- Duplicate guard checks scattered across files
- Non-thread-safe TelemetryGateway singleton pattern
- Missing guard in ops_trace_task.py causing RuntimeError spam

**Solution:**
1. Deleted TelemetryFacade - replaced with thin emit() function in core/telemetry/__init__.py
2. Added SignalType enum ('trace' | 'metric_log') to enterprise/telemetry/contracts.py
3. Replaced CASE_TO_TRACE_TASK_NAME dict with CASE_TO_TRACE_TASK: dict[TelemetryCase, TraceTaskName]
4. Deleted is_gateway_enabled() and _emit_legacy() - using existing ENTERPRISE_ENABLED + ENTERPRISE_TELEMETRY_ENABLED instead
5. Extracted _should_drop_ee_only_event() helper to eliminate duplicate checks
6. Moved TelemetryGateway singleton to ext_enterprise_telemetry.py:
   - Init once in init_app() for thread-safety
   - Access via get_gateway() function
7. Re-added guard to ops_trace_task.py to prevent RuntimeError when EE=OFF but CE tracing enabled
8. Updated 11 caller files to import 'emit as telemetry_emit' instead of 'TelemetryFacade'

**Result:**
- 322 net lines deleted (533 removed, 211 added)
- All 91 tests pass
- Thread-safe singleton pattern
- Cleaner API surface: from TelemetryFacade.emit() to telemetry_emit()
- Proper enum usage throughout
- No RuntimeError spam in EE=OFF + CE=ON scenario

Dify Backend API

Setup and Run

[!IMPORTANT]

In the v1.3.0 release, poetry has been replaced with uv as the package manager for Dify API backend service.

uv and pnpm are required to run the setup and development commands below.

The scripts resolve paths relative to their location, so you can run them from anywhere.

  1. Run setup (copies env files and installs dependencies).

    ./dev/setup
    
  2. Review api/.env, web/.env.local, and docker/middleware.env values (see the SECRET_KEY note below).

  3. Start middleware (PostgreSQL/Redis/Weaviate).

    ./dev/start-docker-compose
    
  4. Start backend (runs migrations first).

    ./dev/start-api
    
  5. Start Dify web service.

    ./dev/start-web
    
  6. Set up your application by visiting http://localhost:3000.

  7. Optional: start the worker service (async tasks, runs from api).

    ./dev/start-worker
    
  8. Optional: start Celery Beat (scheduled tasks).

    ./dev/start-beat
    

Manual commands

Show manual setup and run steps

These commands assume you start from the repository root.

  1. Start the docker-compose stack.

    The backend requires middleware, including PostgreSQL, Redis, and Weaviate, which can be started together using docker-compose.

    cp docker/middleware.env.example docker/middleware.env
    # Use mysql or another vector database profile if you are not using postgres/weaviate.
    docker compose -f docker/docker-compose.middleware.yaml --profile postgresql --profile weaviate -p dify up -d
    
  2. Copy env files.

    cp api/.env.example api/.env
    cp web/.env.example web/.env.local
    
  3. Install UV if needed.

    pip install uv
    # Or on macOS
    brew install uv
    
  4. Install API dependencies.

    cd api
    uv sync --group dev
    
  5. Install web dependencies.

    cd web
    pnpm install
    cd ..
    
  6. Start backend (runs migrations first, in a new terminal).

    cd api
    uv run flask db upgrade
    uv run flask run --host 0.0.0.0 --port=5001 --debug
    
  7. Start Dify web service (in a new terminal).

    cd web
    pnpm dev:inspect
    
  8. Set up your application by visiting http://localhost:3000.

  9. Optional: start the worker service (async tasks, in a new terminal).

    cd api
    uv run celery -A app.celery worker -P threads -c 2 --loglevel INFO -Q dataset,priority_dataset,priority_pipeline,pipeline,mail,ops_trace,app_deletion,plugin,workflow_storage,conversation,workflow,schedule_poller,schedule_executor,triggered_workflow_dispatcher,trigger_refresh_executor,retention,enterprise_telemetry
    
  10. Optional: start Celery Beat (scheduled tasks, in a new terminal).

    cd api
    uv run celery -A app.celery beat
    

Environment notes

[!IMPORTANT]

When the frontend and backend run on different subdomains, set COOKIE_DOMAIN to the sites top-level domain (e.g., example.com). The frontend and backend must be under the same top-level domain in order to share authentication cookies.

  • Generate a SECRET_KEY in the .env file.

    bash for Linux

    sed -i "/^SECRET_KEY=/c\\SECRET_KEY=$(openssl rand -base64 42)" .env
    

    bash for Mac

    secret_key=$(openssl rand -base64 42)
    sed -i '' "/^SECRET_KEY=/c\\
    SECRET_KEY=${secret_key}" .env
    

Testing

  1. Install dependencies for both the backend and the test environment

    cd api
    uv sync --group dev
    
  2. Run the tests locally with mocked system environment variables in tool.pytest_env section in pyproject.toml, more can check Claude.md

    cd api
    uv run pytest                           # Run all tests
    uv run pytest tests/unit_tests/         # Unit tests only
    uv run pytest tests/integration_tests/  # Integration tests
    
    # Code quality
    ./dev/reformat               # Run all formatters and linters
    uv run ruff check --fix ./   # Fix linting issues
    uv run ruff format ./        # Format code
    uv run basedpyright .        # Type checking
