Google Tag Manager disabled in PR environments
xpenser added a DISABLE_GTM flag and set it for PR previews so validation traffic no longer emits production analytics events.
PR previews now disable Google Tag Manager by default so test traffic stays out of analytics.
This release came from PR #57 and is now part of the xpenser release archive. It gives people evaluating an open-source expense tracker a clearer view of how the product has improved over time.
What changed
- Added DISABLE_GTM configuration to the web app.
- Forwarded the flag through Docker build and runtime settings.
- Updated PR environment generation so future previews disable GTM automatically.
Why it matters
Preview environments should be measurable for QA without polluting production analytics. An explicit flag keeps that behavior configurable.
Where it fits
This is part of the deployment hygiene that keeps xpenser preview validation clean.
