Implements the OpenFeature tracking API in the Ruby provider so experimentation metric events reach LaunchDarkly.

  • Adds Provider#track, mapping TrackingEventDetails#fields to the LD custom event data and #value to metric_value.
  • A track call without an evaluation context logs a warning and sends nothing, since LaunchDarkly requires a context to associate the event with.
  • Raises the openfeature-sdk floor to >= 0.6.1 (< 0.7.0); TrackingEventDetails and Client#track do not exist in 0.6.0.
Implementation details

Requirements

  • I have added test coverage for new or changed functionality
  • I have followed the repository's pull request submission guidelines
  • I have validated my changes against all supported platform versions

Related issues

Part of an audit of the LaunchDarkly OpenFeature providers against the current OpenFeature specification. Tracking (spec section 6) was unimplemented here, and per spec 6.1.4 the OpenFeature SDK silently no-ops when a provider lacks track, so events were being dropped without any error.

Describe the solution you've provided

OpenFeature::SDK::Client#track forwards to provider.track(name, evaluation_context:, tracking_event_details:). The provider converts the evaluation context with the existing EvaluationContextConverter and calls LDClient#track(event_name, context, data, metric_value). Empty fields are normalized to nil so no empty hash is attached to the event.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Sending the event with an anonymous/placeholder context when no evaluation context is supplied — rejected, because it would attribute metric events to a context the application never used. Warning and dropping matches the behavior of the Python provider.

Testing

bundle exec rake (RSpec + RuboCop) on Ruby 3.4: 57 examples, 0 failures; 12 files inspected, no offenses. Ruby 3.4 was used because the gemspec requires >= 3.4.

Note

Overview
Implements OpenFeature tracking on the Ruby provider so experiment metric events reach LaunchDarkly instead of being silently dropped.

Provider#track converts the evaluation context and maps TrackingEventDetails#fields to LD event data and #value to metric_value. Calls without a context log a warning and send nothing (LD requires a context). Empty fields are sent as nil.

Bumps openfeature-sdk from ~> 0.6.0 to ~> 0.6.1 because tracking types/APIs are not in 0.6.0. Specs cover context, details, and the no-context no-op.

Adds a feature matrix to the README mirroring the OpenFeature Ruby SDK's
own feature table, so a reader can see at a glance what the provider
does and does not support.

- One row per OpenFeature SDK feature (providers, targeting, hooks,
logging, domains, eventing, shutdown, tracking, transaction context
propagation, extending), plus initialization and flag metadata.
- Every row is currently supported following the tracking, lifecycle,
eventing, wrapper, and flag metadata work; each note says how the
provider implements it, or that the OpenFeature SDK provides it with no
provider involvement.
- The legend keeps room for `⚠️`/`❌` so unsupported rows can state
whether the limitation is in the OpenFeature Ruby SDK or is a provider
gap.

**Requirements**

- [x] I have added test coverage for new or changed functionality
- [x] I have followed the repository's pull request submission
guidelines
- [x] I have validated my changes against all supported platform
versions

**Related issues**

Follow-up to the audit of LaunchDarkly's OpenFeature providers, which
produced #27, #28, #29, #30 and #31 in this repository.

**Describe the solution you've provided**

The matrix reuses the row set and legend of the [OpenFeature Ruby SDK
feature table](https://github.com/open-feature/ruby-sdk#-features) so
the two can be read side by side, and so the same format can be applied
to the other LaunchDarkly providers. Statements about eventing,
initialization, shutdown, tracking, and flag metadata were checked
against the current implementation in `lib/ldclient-openfeature`.

**Describe alternatives you've considered**

Writing a LaunchDarkly-specific row set instead of mirroring
OpenFeature's — rejected, since the point of the matrix is comparability
with the OpenFeature SDK table and with the other providers.

**Testing**

Documentation only; no code changes.

**Additional context**

Screenshots and a staging preview do not apply to a README change in a
server-side library.

> No provider or SDK logic changes appear in the diff. The new changelog
entry documents features already landed on main: OpenFeature
**tracking**, provider **initialization/shutdown**, **provider events**
from LaunchDarkly client status, **flag metadata** from evaluation
reason, and reporting **provider name/version** to LaunchDarkly.
