[Epic] Capture events for Dead Clicks

[bruno-garcia]

The goal is to capture an event if a user Click results in no UI change. Giving the impression that the site is broken.

Some considerations:

• If the button becomes greyed out, there's a DOM mutation change and no detection happens
• If an HTTP request happens as a result of the click, its latency could be a driver to the issue detection if the UI doesn't have a spinner

This was one of the identified potential Replay Issues:

Update 05/11/23:

1. Primary SDK work is coming to a close.
   • A schema has been defined (@billyvg may tweak it slightly).
   • Configuration has been added for tuning slowClick capture.
2. There is some ancillary work being done around breadcrumb throttling and route parameterization that is relevant to this task.
3. Back end has a logging pull request open so we can analyze the types of slow clicks we receive in production environments.
4. One area of concern is fingerprinting. What's the best method?
   • URLs aren't reliable since javascript SPAs often don't update their URL to match the page they're on.
   • HTML attributes like #id aren't perfect either since they require developer discipline.
   • The current thinking is to use the nested path div > span > a along with select attributes on the deepest element.
   • This may include text-content. TBD from analysis of the data.

URLs are also hard because of "dynamic" routes, e.g. IDs, slugs

Update 05/22/23:

• We are logging dead click events with plans to refine the behavior.
• Currently waiting on Ops to provision infrastructure for analytical analysis.
• Decision reached on Replay Issue RFC. We will be creating issues on the back-end.
