PR Stack (Callback Errors)


📜 Description

Drops the current telemetry item when an EventProcessor throws. Subsequent processors and beforeSend* callbacks do not run, and the item is not sent or added to a batch.

Processor exceptions record callback_error outcomes for errors, transactions and spans, replays, feedback, logs and log bytes, and metrics and metric bytes. Intentional processor null results continue to use event_processor.

💡 Motivation and Context

Continuing after a processor failure can send partially processed data, including data that a customer processor intended to scrub. Failing closed keeps callback failures isolated from the host while preventing unsafe delivery.

💚 How did you test it?

  • ./gradlew spotlessApply apiDump
  • ./gradlew :sentry:test --tests io.sentry.SentryClientTest

📝 Checklist

  • I added GH Issue ID & Linear ID
  • I added tests to verify the changes.
  • No new PII added or SDK only sends newly added PII if sendDefaultPII is enabled.
  • I updated the docs if needed.
  • I updated the wizard if needed.
  • Review from the native team if needed.
  • No breaking change or entry added to the changelog.
  • No breaking change for hybrid SDKs or communicated to hybrid SDKs.
  • Public API changes reviewed by another Mobile SDK team member or implemented according to the develop docs spec.

🔮 Next steps

The final stack PR changes beforeBreadcrumb exception handling.

⚠️ Merge this PR using a merge commit (not squash). Only the collection branch is squash-merged into main.

Stop processing and drop telemetry when an event processor throws. Record callback_error outcomes for every supported category instead of sending potentially partially processed data.
