/**
 * Privacy level controls how much nonessential network traffic and telemetry
 * Claude Code generates.
 *
 * Levels are ordered by restrictiveness:
 *   default < no-telemetry < essential-traffic
 *
 * - default:            Everything enabled.
 * - no-telemetry:       Analytics/telemetry disabled (Datadog, 1P events, feedback survey).
 * - essential-traffic:  ALL nonessential network traffic disabled
 *                       (telemetry + auto-updates, grove, release notes, model capabilities, etc.).
 *
 * The resolved level is the most restrictive signal from:
 *   CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_NONESSENTIAL_TRAFFIC  →  essential-traffic
 *   DISABLE_TELEMETRY                         →  no-telemetry
