Resolve GA4-vs-first-party-tracking contradiction between index.html and README #23

Description

@jlynshue

The README's marquee engineering decision is "Custom first-party tracking over GA4 — Full data ownership with server-side event collection... the same event stream feeds both PostHog and HubSpot." But index.html still loads GA4 (gtag for G-4HKLKWE5ZD, with send_page_view: false). A technical reviewer reading the README and then viewing source will see the stated decision contradicted on the very first page load.

Evidence: index.html <script async src="https://www.googletagmanager.com/gtag/js?id=G-4HKLKWE5ZD"> and gtag('config', 'G-4HKLKWE5ZD', { send_page_view: false }); README 'Key Engineering Decisions' → 'Custom first-party tracking over GA4'.

Pick one and make it consistent:

  • Option A (cleaner narrative): remove the GA4 snippet entirely and lean fully on the server-side PostHog/HubSpot pipeline the README describes.
  • Option B: keep GA4 but reword the README decision to position GA4 as a marketing/SEO baseline that the first-party server-side stream supplements (not replaces).

Acceptance criteria:

  • index.html and README make a single, consistent claim about the tracking stack.
  • If GA4 stays, README explains why it coexists with first-party tracking.
  • No double-counting of pageviews that would distort either dataset.
