The sequencing_telemetry.js file is not generated by Dorado

Issue Report

Please describe the issue:

The sequencing_telemetry.js file is not generated by Dorado. However, this file can still be generated using MinKNOW (Start > Analysis mode > Basecalling).

This sequencing_telemetry.js file was very useful for QC tools like TouligQC (I am a developer of this software) because it contains metadata about run and basecalling.

Hi @jourdren,

That's correct - dorado currently doesn't generate or send any telemetry. What information from that file would you be interested in?
