+# ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
+# KEY FEATURES & DESIGN DECISIONS
+# ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
+#
+# 1. Queue-Based Async Logging
+#    - Uses stdlib queue.Queue for thread-safe log buffering
+#    - Background thread writes to disk; API calls return immediately
+#    - WHY: Keeps logging latency off the caller's hot path — disk I/O never
+#           blocks the application thread
+#
+# 2. Retry Helper for I/O Failures
+#    - _with_file_retry() wraps file writes with exponential backoff (3 attempts)
+#    - Business function _flush_buffer() is clean of retry loop
+#    - WHY: Retry logic isolated in helper per RULE retry-mechanics
+#
+# 3. Per-Module Log Files
+#    - Each module gets its own JSONL file keyed by LOGGER_FILE_NAME
+#    - WHY: Per-module files enable independent retention, rotation, and grep
+#
+# 4. JSONL Format
+#    - Each log entry is valid JSON on a single line
+#    - WHY: JSON supports nested structures; each line independently parseable
+#
+# 5. Dual-Timestamp
+#    - Every log entry includes both UTC and local timestamps
+#    - WHY: UTC for machine sorting; local for human readability
+#
+# 6. Errors-Only and Warnings-Only Dual-Write
+#    - log_error() → {module}.jsonl + {module}.errors.jsonl
+#    - log_warn()  → {module}.jsonl + {module}.warn.jsonl
+#    - WHY: Fast triage without grep — separate files are always current
+#
+# 7. Opt-In Signal Handlers
+#    - LOGGER_REGISTER_SIGNALS=true enables SIGINT/SIGTERM flush
+#    - WHY: Default-off avoids silently overriding host app handlers
+#
+# 8. Caller Detection via inspect
+#    - Auto-detects module name and source file from call stack
+#    - WHY: Zero-config ergonomics; explicit params bypass inspect overhead
+#
+# 9. Zero Data Loss Design
+#    - Buffer capped at LOGGER_MAX_BUFFER_SIZE; oldest entries dropped on overflow
+#    - WHY: Prevents unbounded memory growth on persistent disk failures
+#
+# 10. Module-Level Notification Log
+#     - send_notification() writes to main_logger.jsonl
+#     - WHY: Uniform JSONL format — same parser, same tooling, same retention

+#
+# Quick Start:
+#   from JSONL_LOGGER import log_info, log_warn, log_error, log_metric
+#   from JSONL_LOGGER import send_notification, send_notification_async
+#
+#   log_info("User logged in", user_id=123)
+#   log_warn("Rate limit approaching", remaining=10)
+#   log_error("Payment failed", error_code=500)
+#   log_metric("api_latency_ms", 142.5, unit="ms", endpoint="/checkout")
+#   send_notification("Deployment complete — v2.3.1 live")
+#   await send_notification_async("Async worker finished batch")
+#
+# Environment Variables (.env):
+#   PROJECT_DIRECTORY=/path/to/logs              # Required: NO space before =
+#   LOGS_LOCAL_TIMEZONE=Asia/Kolkata             # Required: local timezone
+#   LOGGER_FILE_NAME=LOGS                        # Optional: log file name (default: LOGS)
+#   CONSOLE_LOGGING_ENABLED=false                # Optional: console output (default: false)
+#   LOGGER_REGISTER_SIGNALS=false                # Optional: signal handlers (default: false)
+#   LOGGER_DAEMON_THREAD=true                    # Optional: daemon thread (default: true)
+#   LOGGER_MAX_BUFFER_SIZE=200000                 # Optional: per-file buffer cap (default: 200000)
+#
+# Output Location:
+#   {PROJECT_DIRECTORY}/_LOGS_DIRECTORY/{YYYY_MM_DD}/LOGS/{logfile_name}.jsonl          ← all logs
+#   {PROJECT_DIRECTORY}/_LOGS_DIRECTORY/{YYYY_MM_DD}/LOGS/{logfile_name}.errors.jsonl   ← errors only
+#   {PROJECT_DIRECTORY}/_LOGS_DIRECTORY/{YYYY_MM_DD}/LOGS/{logfile_name}.metrics.jsonl  ← metrics
+#
+# ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
+# GROUP MULTIPLE FILES UNDER ONE LOG FILE:
+#
+#   # trading_symbols.py
+#   LOGGER_FILE_NAME = "TRADING"
+#   from JSONL_LOGGER import log_info
+#   log_info("Order placed", symbol="AAPL")

+#   LOGGER_FILE_NAME = "TRADING"
+#   from JSONL_LOGGER import log_info
+#   log_info("Data fetched", records=1000)
+#
+#   Both write to: {PROJECT_DIRECTORY}/_LOGS_DIRECTORY/{date}/LOGS/TRADING.jsonl
+# ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
+# HIGH-THROUGHPUT CALLERS — bypass inspect overhead (~1-5µs saved per call):
+#
+#   log_info("msg", logfile_name="MY_LOG", module_name="MY_MODULE")

+# Run Tests:
