📋 Decision Context

Question:

How should we reduce excessive console logs across the application?

Task: Not specified

🎯 Decision Made

Chosen:

Systematic migration to centralized logging system with createLogger

Options Considered:

Keep all console.log statements
Remove all logs
Migrate to centralized system
Use environment flags

💭 Reasoning

Migrated 23 services/files to centralized logging system using createLogger from @libs-dev-tools/debug-utils. This provides runtime control via LogControl.enable/disable('category'), zero overhead when disabled, production-safe automatic disabling, and category-based organization (init, theme, modules, widgets, auth, sync, storage, flash, debug). Achieved 65% log reduction (330 → 115 logs) by: 1) Silencing debug utilities (10 → 0 logs), 2) Migrating bridge services (11 → 3 logs), 3) Migrating auth services (13 → 7 logs), 4) Migrating nav services (5 → 2 logs), 5) Consolidating multi-line logs into single concise statements, 6) Removing emoji spam. Result: Clean console on startup, full debugging capability when needed via browser console (LogControl.enable('category')), zero performance overhead when disabled, and maintainable single-configuration-point system.
