CLI mode is activated by: (1) invoking via the `qtmesh` symlink, (2) passing `--cli`, or (3) using a recognized subcommand (`info`, `fix`, `convert`, `anim`, `validate`, `lod`, `pose`, `turntable`, `isometric`, `scan`, `material`, `hdri`, `light`, `pack-textures`, `normal-from-height`, `atlas`, `atlas-apply`, `memory`, `analyze`, `vertex-cache`, `decimate`, `optimize`, `uv`, `retopo`, `skin`, `rig`, `facerig`, `segment`, `generate3d`, `mocap`, `ps1`, `cloud`) as the first argument. Use `--verbose` to see Ogre/engine debug output. Use `--no-telemetry` to permanently opt out of anonymous usage data collection.

Use `--verbose` to see Ogre/engine debug output. Use `--no-telemetry` to permanently opt out of anonymous usage data collection (the `QTMESH_NO_TELEMETRY` env var opts out per-process without persisting — CI/containers/tests; the unit-test main sets it so the suite never phones home).

If Xcode SDK is updated, clear CMake cache (`rm build_local/CMakeCache.txt`) and reconfigure.

Guard captureTelemetryEvent before creating telemetry state.

QTMESH_NO_TELEMETRY skips Sentry initialization, but captureTelemetryEvent still creates a session ID and can persist an anonymous installation ID because it checks only the stored preference. Add an early session opt-out guard before sessionId() and anonymousInstallationId().

In `@src/CLIPipeline.cpp` around lines 1590 - 1613, Update captureTelemetryEvent
to return immediately when the session telemetry opt-out is active, before
calling sessionId() or anonymousInstallationId(). Use the existing s_noTelemetry
state so QTMESH_NO_TELEMETRY prevents telemetry state creation and persistence
while preserving normal behavior otherwise.
