Logging Standards

When writing or reviewing logging code, follow these principles.

Library

• TypeScript/Node.js: use pino

Log Format

Show only three fields in the visible line: time, module, and message.

HH:mm:ss MODULE_NAME  message text here

• Time: hours, minutes, seconds only — no milliseconds
• Module: fixed-width string (pad shorter names with spaces) so messages align vertically
• Message: human-readable text
