crcbl-core 0.16.0

//! The console's view of the log: the ring every sink feeds, and the target the
//! console's own output carries.
//!
//! Debug-console decision 4 in `docs/notes/tooling.md` is the design. The panel
//! shows **the** log rather than a second one, so there is one bounded ring
//! here and every sink pushes into it — [`crate::log`]'s own `StderrLogger`
//! natively and `crcbl::web`'s `WebLogger` in a browser, through the one
//! [`push`] both call.
//!
//! Two things follow from where the push sits, and both are deliberate:
//!
//! * **It is before the sink's level filter**, so the ring holds a record the
//!   terminal decided not to print and the panel can be asked to show it. The
//!   facade's global maximum still applies — a call site whose level is above
//!   `log::max_level()` never reaches a sink at all — so what the ring adds is
//!   every record a *per-target* directive silenced.
//! * **It renders the message on every record**, where [`crate::log::capture`]
//!   renders only when a thread asked. That is the cost decision 10 prices: one
//!   `String` on a path that was already going to format one, plus a lock and a
//!   `VecDeque` insert.
//!
//! There is no `clear_ring`. `clear` is the panel emptying its own view —
//! Source's `clear` empties the console, not the file — which is why the ask
//! lives on `crcbl_console::Context::request_clear` and not here.
