+description: 'Structured logging with channels, filtering, redaction and shutdown flushing: `log`, `Logger`, `LogChannel`, `ConsoleLog`, `JSONFileLog`, `SentryLog` and `applyRedact`. Use for "log an error with context", "hide tokens", "write JSON logs", "send errors to Sentry" or "flush before exit". Not this package → @warlock.js/core for HTTP error responses; @warlock.js/ai-panoptic for agent traces and AI cost dashboards.'
+---
+
+# @warlock.js/logger
+
+The `log` singleton (a `Logger`) sends each entry, with module, action, level and message, to every configured `LogChannel`. Channels decide where entries go (console, file, JSON file, Sentry, custom) and can filter by level or module.
+
+Works standalone in Node projects; core is not required. Levels are `debug`, `info`, `warn`, `error`, `success`, and `fatal` (above `error`).
+
+## The 80% path
+
+1. Start with `logger-basics.md`.
+2. Pick channels: `pick-log-channel.md`; set them up: `configure-logger.md`.
+3. Log via `log.info/warn/error` or helpers: `use-log-helpers.md`.
+4. Redact secrets: `redact-sensitive-log-fields.md`; narrow output: `filter-log-entries.md`.
+5. Production safety: `capture-unhandled-errors.md`, `flush-logs-on-shutdown.md`, `ship-logs-to-sentry.md`.
+6. Extend or test: `write-custom-log-channel.md`, `test-logging-code.md`.
+
+## Conventions and pitfalls
+
+- `fatal` does not flush or exit by itself; the caller awaits `log.flush()` and then exits.
+- File channels buffer, so an unflushed process exit loses the tail of the log.
+- Configure redaction before logging request bodies or auth data; the default key set is a floor, not a guarantee.
+- Log structured context objects rather than interpolated strings, so channels and Sentry can index them.
+
+## Server-only package
+
+`@warlock.js/logger`'s entire runtime surface is server-only — its `package.json` declares `"warlock": { "environment": "server" }`. This is build-boundary metadata read by `@warlock.js/web`'s Gate A (import resolution) and Gate C (emitted-bundle verification), not application behavior. App code that reaches the client bundle (including page and layout modules) must not value-import `@warlock.js/logger` — Gate A refuses the build. A type-only import (`import type { ... }`) is allowed. Server loaders, controllers, and modules may import it freely.
+
+## When to reach for it
+
+- Building a Node service that needs **structured** logs (key-value pairs, not bare strings) and you want them to land in multiple destinations (console for dev, JSON file for prod, third-party sink for audits) without rewriting the call sites.
+- You'd reach for **pino** or **winston** but want a smaller surface that's already wired into Warlock conventions (`module / action / message` shape, redaction floor, signal flush built-in).
+- Your team agrees that **`console.log` doesn't survive contact with production** — you need filtering, level routing, channel-specific sinks, and a redaction story before secrets leak into Slack/Datadog.
+
+Skip if your code is a throwaway script where `console.log` is genuinely fine — there's no value in adding a dependency for one-off logs.
+
+## The mental model in one paragraph
+
+You write `log.info("auth", "login", "user signed in", { userId })`. The logger fans that single entry out to every registered channel (`ConsoleLog`, `FileLog`, `JSONFileLog`, `SentryLog`, or your custom subclass). Each channel decides whether to emit it (per-level whitelist, per-channel filter predicate, logger-wide minimum severity). Redaction runs once at the logger level and can be extended per channel — never relaxed. Buffered channels (file + JSON file) drain on flush — synchronously via `log.flushSync()` / `enableAutoFlush(['SIGINT', 'SIGTERM', 'beforeExit'])`, or asynchronously via `await log.flush()` (the only path that works for network channels like `SentryLog`). That's the whole package.

+## Built-in channels at a glance

+| Channel       | Sink                        | `terminal`              | Buffered                                                                |
+| ------------- | --------------------------- | ----------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| `ConsoleLog`  | `process.stdout`            | `true` (colors kept)    | no                                                                      |
+| `FileLog`     | `.log` files                | `false` (ANSI stripped) | yes (5s timer or 100-entry buffer)                                      |
+| `JSONFileLog` | `.json` files               | `false` (ANSI stripped) | yes (same buffering)                                                    |
+| `SentryLog`   | Sentry events + breadcrumbs | `false`                 | via the Sentry SDK's own transport (`@sentry/node` is an optional peer) |
+
+`terminal: true` is the flag that decides whether the channel sees raw colored messages or stripped plain text. Custom channels: pick `true` if you write to a terminal, `false` for anything else.
+
+## What this package deliberately doesn't do
+
+- **Distributed tracing.** Use OpenTelemetry. Logger gets you structured local logs with `module / action`; trace correlation is a different problem.
+- **Log aggregator integrations beyond Sentry.** `SentryLog` is bundled (with `@sentry/node` as an optional peer). For Datadog, Loki, ELK, etc., either write a custom channel that POSTs to the aggregator or use `JSONFileLog` + a sidecar (fluentbit, vector, promtail).
+- **Pretty-printing of arbitrary objects.** `ConsoleLog` has a `showContext` flag that runs `util.inspect` on the context object; for richer formatting, use `JSONFileLog` and view the file through your favorite viewer.
+- **Log analysis.** Querying / aggregating / alerting is on the sink side (Loki, ELK, Datadog).

-## Skills index
-
-Eleven task skills cover everything. Load the one that matches your job — most callers only ever need `logger-basics` + `configure-logger` + `pick-log-channel`.
-
-### Foundations
-
-#### `logger-basics`
-
-Start here. The `log` singleton, the six levels (`debug` / `info` / `warn` / `error` / `success` / `fatal`), how fan-out works, the `module / action / message / context` shape every entry carries.
-
-#### `configure-logger`
-
-Wire channels at boot — `log.addChannel`, `log.setChannels`, `log.configure({ channels, autoFlushOn, redact, minLevel })`. Branch on `NODE_ENV`, replace the channel list, isolate a library's logger from the host singleton.
-
-### Channels
-
-#### `pick-log-channel`
-
-Pick one of the four built-ins: `ConsoleLog` (terminal, colored), `FileLog` (plain `.log` on disk with rotation), `JSONFileLog` (structured JSON for aggregators — Datadog, Loki, ELK), `SentryLog` (errors + breadcrumbs to Sentry; `@sentry/node` is an optional peer).
-
-#### `ship-logs-to-sentry`
-
-The `SentryLog` channel in depth — event-vs-breadcrumb level mapping, dual init modes (reuse an existing client or pass `options`), draining via `Sentry.flush(timeout)`, behavior when the optional peer isn't installed.
-
-#### `write-custom-log-channel`
-
-Extend `LogChannel<Options>` for sinks the built-ins don't cover — Slack, HTTP endpoint, in-memory buffer, database. The lazy `init()` lifecycle (`setTimeout(0)`), the `terminal: true/false` ANSI-stripping behavior, and the difference between `flush()` (async, network) and `flushSync()` (sync, files) are subtle — read this skill before subclassing.
-
-### Production concerns
-
-#### `redact-sensitive-log-fields`
-
-Strip secrets before they reach a sink. Logger-wide `setRedact({ paths, censor })` is the security floor; per-channel `redact` configs add paths (never remove). Dotted-glob paths (`*`, `**`); censor as string or function `(value, path) => any`.
-
-#### `filter-log-entries`
-
-Drop entries before they cost anything. Logger-wide `setMinLevel("info")` is the fast path; per-channel `levels` array + `filter` predicate for fine control.
-
-#### `flush-logs-on-shutdown`
-
-Buffered channels need explicit drain. `log.flushSync()` (sync) for file channels — also wired by `enableAutoFlush(['SIGINT', 'SIGTERM', 'SIGHUP', 'SIGBREAK', 'SIGUSR2', 'beforeExit'])`. `await log.flush()` (async) for network/async channels like `SentryLog` — the only path that can await an HTTPS round-trip on a graceful shutdown.
-
-#### `capture-unhandled-errors`
-
-`captureAnyUnhandledRejection()` hooks `unhandledRejection` (→ `log.error("app", ...)`, process kept alive) and `uncaughtException` (→ `log.fatal("app", ...)` then `process.exit(1)` — restoring the non-zero exit the listener would otherwise suppress, so a fatal crash never becomes a silent `exit 0`; opt out with `{ exitOnUncaughtException: false }`). It flushes before exiting and falls back to `console.error` when no terminal channel is set. One call at startup.
-
-### Ergonomics + testing
-
-#### `use-log-helpers`
-
-Two shortcuts every `Logger` exposes: `log.assert(condition, module, action, message, context?)` logs an error only when the condition is falsy (free on the happy path); `log.timer(module, action)` returns an end-function that emits `info` with a measured `durationMs`.
-
-#### `test-logging-code`
-
-Silence the logger globally in tests via `log.setChannels([])` in `setupFiles`. Assert specific entries with a capturing `LogChannel` subclass — it proves an entry was actually delivered through the pipeline (filters, redaction), not merely that a method was called, and it isolates cleanly by swapping `log.channels`.

-
-Structured logging for Node. Six severity levels (with `fatal` strictly above `error`), a singleton plus a `Logger` class, channel-based fan-out (one entry → many sinks), PII redaction as a floor that channels can extend, buffered file writes with signal-triggered flush on shutdown, an awaitable async `log.flush()` for network/async channels, an optional Sentry channel, and a couple of ergonomic helpers (`timer`, `assert`) that turn boilerplate into one-liners.

-## Skills index
-
-Eleven task skills cover everything. Load the one that matches your job — most callers only ever need `logger-basics` + `configure-logger` + `pick-log-channel`.
-
-### Foundations
-
-#### `logger-basics`
-
-Start here. The `log` singleton, the six levels (`debug` / `info` / `warn` / `error` / `success` / `fatal`), how fan-out works, the `module / action / message / context` shape every entry carries.
-
-#### `configure-logger`
-
-Wire channels at boot — `log.addChannel`, `log.setChannels`, `log.configure({ channels, autoFlushOn, redact, minLevel })`. Branch on `NODE_ENV`, replace the channel list, isolate a library's logger from the host singleton.
-
-### Channels
-
-#### `pick-log-channel`
-
-Pick one of the four built-ins: `ConsoleLog` (terminal, colored), `FileLog` (plain `.log` on disk with rotation), `JSONFileLog` (structured JSON for aggregators — Datadog, Loki, ELK), `SentryLog` (errors + breadcrumbs to Sentry; `@sentry/node` is an optional peer).
-
-#### `ship-logs-to-sentry`
-
-The `SentryLog` channel in depth — event-vs-breadcrumb level mapping, dual init modes (reuse an existing client or pass `options`), draining via `Sentry.flush(timeout)`, behavior when the optional peer isn't installed.
-
-#### `write-custom-log-channel`
-
-Extend `LogChannel<Options>` for sinks the built-ins don't cover — Slack, HTTP endpoint, in-memory buffer, database. The lazy `init()` lifecycle (`setTimeout(0)`), the `terminal: true/false` ANSI-stripping behavior, and the difference between `flush()` (async, network) and `flushSync()` (sync, files) are subtle — read this skill before subclassing.
-
-### Production concerns
-
-#### `redact-sensitive-log-fields`
-
-Strip secrets before they reach a sink. Logger-wide `setRedact({ paths, censor })` is the security floor; per-channel `redact` configs add paths (never remove). Dotted-glob paths (`*`, `**`); censor as string or function `(value, path) => any`.
-
-#### `filter-log-entries`
-
-Drop entries before they cost anything. Logger-wide `setMinLevel("info")` is the fast path; per-channel `levels` array + `filter` predicate for fine control.
-
-#### `flush-logs-on-shutdown`
-
-Buffered channels need explicit drain. `log.flushSync()` (sync) for file channels — also wired by `enableAutoFlush(['SIGINT', 'SIGTERM', 'SIGHUP', 'SIGBREAK', 'SIGUSR2', 'beforeExit'])`. `await log.flush()` (async) for network/async channels like `SentryLog` — the only path that can await an HTTPS round-trip on a graceful shutdown.
-
-#### `capture-unhandled-errors`
-
-`captureAnyUnhandledRejection()` hooks `unhandledRejection` (→ `log.error("app", ...)`, process kept alive) and `uncaughtException` (→ `log.fatal("app", ...)` then `process.exit(1)` — restoring the non-zero exit the listener would otherwise suppress, so a fatal crash never becomes a silent `exit 0`; opt out with `{ exitOnUncaughtException: false }`). It flushes before exiting and falls back to `console.error` when no terminal channel is set. One call at startup.
-
-### Ergonomics + testing
-
-#### `use-log-helpers`
-
-Two shortcuts every `Logger` exposes: `log.assert(condition, module, action, message, context?)` logs an error only when the condition is falsy (free on the happy path); `log.timer(module, action)` returns an end-function that emits `info` with a measured `durationMs`.
-
-#### `test-logging-code`
-
-Silence the logger globally in tests via `log.setChannels([])` in `setupFiles`. Assert specific entries with a capturing `LogChannel` subclass — it proves an entry was actually delivered through the pipeline (filters, redaction), not merely that a method was called, and it isolates cleanly by swapping `log.channels`.

-- **Log analysis.** Querying / aggregating / alerting is on the sink side (Loki, ELK, Datadog).

-- The `warlock-conventions` topic of the `warlock-js-core` skill — the parent framework's conventions; logger is one of its foundation packages and ships transitively when you install core.
-- When synced via agent-kit, this `overview` topic is flattened to the front-door skill `.claude/skills/warlock-js-logger-overview/` — every cross-link above names the topic (and the owning skill, across packages) instead of a file path so it survives that flattening.
