## ⚡ Enhanced Server Features (v0.3.3)
### **📊 Professional Server Logging**
Each server creates individual log files with comprehensive tracking:
```bash
# Log file locations
.rss/servers/myserver-[8080].log # Individual server logs
.rss/servers/myserver-[8080].1.log # Archive generation 1
.rss/servers/myserver-[8080].2.log.gz # Compressed archive generation 2
```
**Log Entry Structure:**
```json
{
"timestamp": "2025-08-28 12:04:17.091",
"timestamp_unix": 1756375457,
"event_type": "Request",
"ip_address": "127.0.0.1",
