There was a problem hiding this comment.
💭 thought: Used date / process.duration instead of process.start / process.end to be consistent with other events.

Relocates the synthetic-view flag from _dd.is_fake (view/view_update only) to view.is_fake on _common-schema.json, so all event types associated with a fake view (error, action, resource, etc.) can carry the flag for backend filtering.

Motivation
Introduces a first-class
processevent type to support Electron child-process monitoring. Allows the SDK to report process lifecycle data (start time, duration, exit reason) and links all existing RUM events back to their owning process via optional enrichment on the common schema.Changes
process-schema.jsonevent type extending_common-schema.json. Required fields:type,process.id(UUID),process.role(enum:main/renderer/utility, Electron-only for now),process.pid,_dd.document_version. Optional:process.ppid,process.name,process.duration(ns),process.exit_reason.process-schema.jsonregistered in theRumEventoneOfunion inrum-events-schema.json.process.id,process.role, andprocess.nameenrichment added to_common-schema.jsonso all existing event types (Error, Action, Resource, etc.) can carry a back-reference to their owning process.view.is_fakeboolean added to_common-schema.jsonso all event types associated with a fake view can carry the flag for backend and frontend filtering. Fake views are synthetically created by the SDK to carry process events during the transition phase where process events require aview.id.
