PlatformIO Core (CLI) errors/exceptions. We report automatically fatal exceptions raised by PlatformIO Core source code but NOT by your project
The name of the used platform, board, framework. We collect this type of information to have a clear picture which software products are the most widely used by our Community and for the which we should provide frequent updates and add new features ( for example, “atmelavr”, “arduino”, “uno”, etc.)
The name of CLI command. It helps us to improve our CLI. For example, “run”, “lib list”)
