leviath_cli/logging.rs
1//! Process-wide logging: the subscriber `main` installs, with a reloadable
2//! slot for the OTLP log-export layer.
3//!
4//! The subscriber must exist before any subcommand logs, but the
5//! `[observability]` config that decides whether daemon logs also export over
6//! OTLP is only read later (by the daemon, after `Config::load`). Bridging
7//! that gap is what the reload slot is for: [`init`] installs the fmt layer
8//! plus an empty slot and parks the reload handle in a static;
9//! [`install_otel_layer`] fills the slot once the daemon has built its
10//! exporter. Everything stays on **stderr** - `lev agent-client` uses stdout
11//! as its JSON-RPC channel, and a stray log line there would corrupt the
12//! stream a host is parsing.
13//!
14//! stderr is not safe either while a full-screen TUI is up, which is what
15//! [`hold_for_tui`] exists for. `lev setup` and `lev dash` own the alternate
16//! screen on stdout, but stderr is the same terminal, so a log line lands
17//! inside the frame. Raw mode makes it worse than untidy: `OPOST` is off, so
18//! the newline is a bare line feed with no carriage return and each line
19//! starts where the last one ended, staircasing across the screen. And
20//! ratatui only redraws cells it believes changed, so nothing ever paints
21//! over the mess. A verification call at `debug` was enough to fill the
22//! wizard with what looked like garbage.
23//!
24//! So while a TUI holds the terminal, log lines are buffered instead of
25//! written, and flushed to stderr when it lets go. Nothing is lost, and
26//! nothing lands on the screen while somebody is looking at it.
