1//! Logging/tracing init: always-on console output, optional OTLP export.
2//!
3//! Host processes (e.g. rship-control-plane) call [`init_from_env`] once at
4//! startup — before `CellServer::builder()...build()` — replacing the
5//! `env_logger::init()` call from before the log→tracing migration. See
6//! `README.md`'s Environment table for `MYKO_TRACING_ENDPOINT` /
7//! `MYKO_MEM_PROFILE_INTERVAL_SECS`.

184///
185/// This exists to interpret RSS observations of deployed servers. The M1

187/// referencing 5.81 MB of live heap — an 889× gap that was pure glibc arena

189/// collapses the same way here, the number was allocator behaviour, not
190/// retention; if it doesn't, something is genuinely holding the memory.
191///
192/// Note the probe is not passive: each tick returns free pages to the OS, so
193/// enabling it lowers steady-state RSS (that release is the measurement).
194/// glibc-only — on other libcs the env var logs a warning and does nothing.

198/// allocations never touch glibc, `malloc_trim` has ~nothing to release, and
