Set the loaded flag for custom event globals

[simpleanalytics-agent]

Summary

Fixes #128

auto-events.js only sends an event when both window[saGlobal] and window[saGlobal + "_loaded"] exist. The main script names the event function after the namespace (for example ba_event), but it only ever set sa_event_loaded and <namespace>_loaded. So ba_event_loaded was never set and automated events never fired.

The main script now also sets window[eventFunctionName + "_loaded"] right after it installs the event function. The existing sa_event_loaded line stays, so default sites behave exactly as before. I fixed the main script rather than auto-events.js, so the fix also works with cached or self-hosted copies of auto-events.js.

Only src/ changes. dist/ is rebuilt separately, as with previous PRs. Light builds are unchanged, and latest.js grows by 18 bytes.

Security implications

• No security impact
• Has security impact - described as:

Testing

• pnpm run build, pnpm run typecheck, pnpm run test:deploy (12) and pnpm run test:matrix (11) pass locally. Prettier and ES5 ESLint are clean. BrowserStack tests were not run (no credentials in this environment).
• Ran the built latest.js + auto-events.js in headless Chrome, clicked an outbound link and recorded the requests:
  • Before: with data-namespace="ba", sa_settings = {namespace: "ba"} or data-sa-global="my_event", no event was sent and the console logged ba_event is not defined.
  • After: all of these and the default setup send outbound_external_example_org before navigating.

📝 Walkthrough

The default event handler setup now sets the configured event function’s _loaded global flag to true.

Changes: Event initialization

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Mark the default event function as loaded src/default.js	After installing defaultEventFunc, the script sets the corresponding _loaded global flag to true.

Change: Bug fix · Severity of issue fixed: Medium

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 0322f

Sites that configure a custom global only on the main script can still lose automated-link tracking, although navigation continues. The PR does not fully address that configuration, so merge with the limitation understood or align the auto-events setting.

Explanation

Issue #128 requires automated outbound-link, download, and email events to work with a custom namespace or custom data-sa-global. The PR sets window[eventFunctionName + "_loaded"] after it installs the configured event function. This satisfies auto-events.js readiness checks for custom event globals. The PR also retains window.sa_event_loaded, which preserves the default setup. The reported automated tests and headless Chrome checks cover the change.

Documentation update

_docs/55_events/05_automated-events.md

Location: After the ## Script section (the settings example), before ## Demo of the script

Copy and paste this into the documentation repository:

## Custom namespace or global

If you changed the `sa_event` function with [`data-namespace`](/events#the-variable-sa_event-is-already-used) or `data-sa-global` on the main script, you also need to tell the automated events script which global to call. Use `data-sa-global` with the full function name, so a namespace of `ba` becomes `ba_event`:

<!-- prettier-ignore -->
```html
<script async data-namespace="ba" src="https://scripts.simpleanalyticscdn.com/latest.js"></script>
<script
  async
  data-sa-global="ba_event"
  src="https://scripts.simpleanalyticscdn.com/auto-events.js"></script>
```

Without `data-sa-global` the automated events script keeps looking for `sa_event`, it logs `sa_event is not defined` in the console, and no automated events are collected.

Synchronize auto-events with the configured event global.

src/default.js accepts a custom data-sa-global, but src/auto-events.js reads its own data-saGlobal and defaults to sa_event. If only the main script is configured with ba_event, the main script creates window.ba_event and window.ba_event_loaded, while auto-events checks window.sa_event and window.sa_event_loaded. The check fails, so automated-link events are skipped.

Make src/auto-events.js resolve the same configured global as the main script. Setting only the custom _loaded flag in src/default.js does not resolve this mismatch.

Re CodeRabbit "Synchronize auto-events with the configured event global": I kept this PR to the existing contract. auto-events.js already reads its own data-sa-global (documented in the plugin settings at https://docs.simpleanalytics.com/create-plugin), and the docs PR simpleanalytics/docs#58 adds data-sa-global="ba_event" to the automated events and namespace docs. Before this fix, even a correctly configured auto-events tag (data-sa-global="ba_event") never fired, because ba_event_loaded was never set. That is the bug fixed here; verified in headless Chrome (see the PR description).

Making auto-events.js detect the main script's namespace on its own would couple the two scripts (finding the other tag or reading sa_settings, with load-order issues). That is more complexity than this rare setup needs, so I left it out.
