+# Set environment variables in .env:
+#   PROJECT_DIRECTORY=/path/to/your/project
+#   LOGS_LOCAL_TIMEZONE=Asia/Kolkata
+#   LOGGER_FILE_NAME=orders  # Optional: default log file name (default: "LOGS")
+#
+# Alternatively, set LOGGER_FILE_NAME in your module to group logs:
+#   # In your_module.py
+#   import os
+#   os.environ["LOGGER_FILE_NAME"] = "orders"
+#   from JSONL_LOGGER import log_info
+#   log_info("Order placed", order_id=123)
+#   # logfile_name="orders", module_name="your_module" (auto-detected from __name__)
+#
+# LOG FILE NAMING:
+#   - logfile_name: The logical group for log files. Set via:
+#       1. LOGGER_FILE_NAME env var in .env
+#       2. os.environ["LOGGER_FILE_NAME"] in your module
+#       3. logfile_name= parameter in function call
+#       4. Falls back to "LOGS" if none set
+#
+#   - module_name: The Python module name. Auto-detected from caller's __name__.
+#       Can be overridden via module_name= parameter in function call.
+#
+#   - source_file: The actual Python filename. Auto-detected from call stack.
+#       Can be overridden via source_file= parameter in function call.
+#
+# Import and use:
+#   from JSONL_LOGGER import log_info, log_warn, log_error, log_metric
+#
+#   # Info logging with structured fields
+#   log_info("User logged in", user_id=123, email="user@example.com")
+#
+#   # Warning logging
+#   log_warn("Rate limit approaching", remaining=10, reset_seconds=60)
+#
+#   # Error logging with error codes
+#   log_error("Payment failed", error_code=500, error="insufficient_funds")
+#
+#   # Metrics logging (custom METR level between INFO and WARNING)
+#   log_metric("api_latency_ms", 142.5, unit="ms", endpoint="/checkout", method="POST")
+#   log_metric("request_count", 1000, logfile_name="orders", module_name="order_service", status="success")
+#
+#   # Notifications to main_logger.jsonl
+#   from JSONL_LOGGER import send_notification, send_notification_async
+#
+#   send_notification("Application started", source_file="main.py")
+#   await send_notification_async("Deployment completed", source_file="deploy.py")
+#
+# All functions support optional parameters:
+#   logfile_name: Log file name (auto-detected from LOGGER_FILE_NAME env/globals)
+#   module_name:  Source module name (auto-detected from caller's __name__)
+#   source_file:  Actual source filename (auto-detected from call stack)
+#
+# Output: {PROJECT_DIRECTORY}/_LOGS_DIRECTORY/{YYYY_MM_DD}/LOGS/{logfile_name}.jsonl
+# Example: /path/to/logs/_LOGS_DIRECTORY/2026_04_03/LOGS/orders.jsonl

+
+__version__ = "1.0.0"
+
+# ═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════
+# 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; business
+#           functions stay readable and retry policy stays in one place
+#
+# 3. Per-Module Log Files
+#    - Each module gets its own JSONL file keyed by LOGGER_FILE_NAME or logfile_name param
+#    - Path: {PROJECT_DIRECTORY}/_LOGS_DIRECTORY/{YYYY_MM_DD}/LOGS/{logfile_name}.jsonl
+#    - WHY: Per-module files enable independent retention, rotation, and grep
+#           without needing log-level filtering across a shared file
+#
+# 4. JSONL Format
+#    - Each log entry is valid JSON on a single line
+#    - WHY: JSON supports nested structures; each line independently parseable;
+#           no escaping issues; append-only (no file lock needed)
+#
+# 5. Dual-Timestamp
+#    - Every log entry includes both UTC and local timestamps
+#    - Fields: timestamp (UTC), timestamp_local (local with offset)
+#    - Set LOGS_LOCAL_TIMEZONE in .env (required)
+#    - WHY: UTC for machine parsing/sorting; local for human readability
+#
+# 6. Errors-Only and Warnings-Only Dual-Write
+#    - Every log_error() writes to both {module}.jsonl and {module}.errors.jsonl
+#    - Every log_warn() writes to both {module}.jsonl and {module}.warn.jsonl
+#    - WHY: Fast triage without grep — errors and warnings files are small and always
+#           current; audit file stays complete for full-context investigation
+#
+# 7. Opt-In Signal Handlers
+#    - LOGGER_REGISTER_SIGNALS=true enables SIGINT/SIGTERM flush
+#    - WHY: Default-off avoids silently overriding host app handlers
+#           (FastAPI, Gunicorn, Click); chaining preserves full shutdown chain
+#
+# 8. Caller Detection via inspect
+#    - _get_caller_module() auto-detects Python module name from call stack
+#    - _get_actual_source_file() detects actual source filename
+#    - Explicit logfile_name= and module_name= params available for high-throughput
+#    - WHY: Zero-config ergonomics; explicit params bypass inspect overhead (~1-5µs saved)
+#
+# 9. Dual-Source Tracking
+#    - Every log entry includes BOTH:
+#      * logfile_name: The log file name (from LOGGER_FILE_NAME or param)
+#      * module_name: The Python module name (auto-detected)
+#      * source_file: The actual Python filename that generated the log
+#    - WHY: Complete traceability — filter by logical group while knowing exact source
+#
+# 10. 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 while
+#           keeping the most recent (most useful) entries
+#
+# 11. Module-Level Notification Log
+#    - send_notification() / send_notification_async() write to main_logger.jsonl
+#    - WHY: Uniform JSONL format — same parser, same tooling, same retention policy
+#           as all other log files; async variant keeps async callers non-blocking

+# ── IMPORTS ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
+# Three groups: stdlib · third-party · internal
+
+# Stdlib
+import asyncio
+import atexit
+import inspect
+import logging
+import os
+import queue
+import signal
+import sys
+import threading
+import time
+from datetime import datetime, timezone
+from pathlib import Path
+from typing import Any
+from unittest.mock import patch
+
+# Third-party
+from dotenv import load_dotenv
+
+# WHY: load_dotenv() runs here — after all imports, before constants — so env
+#      vars are populated before any os.getenv() call in the constants block
+#      Loads .env from the module's directory (JSONL_LOGGER/.env)
+load_dotenv()
+
+# WHY: Shorten level names for compact, uniform JSONL output; "WARN"/"ERRO" are
+#      4 chars like "INFO" — makes logs visually aligned and easier to scan
+logging.addLevelName(logging.WARNING, "WARN")
+logging.addLevelName(logging.ERROR, "ERRO")
+
+# ── CHANGE 1 of 3 — register METR as a custom log level ──────────────────────
+METRIC_LEVEL: int = 25
+logging.addLevelName(METRIC_LEVEL, "METR")
+# WHY: Custom level 25 sits between INFO (20) and WARNING (30) so metric records
+#      are distinguishable from audit INFO at the handler level. The levelname
+#      serialises to "METR" matching Rust's MetricEntry output exactly — both
+#      languages produce identical JSONL so shared parsers need no branching.
+
+# ── SECTION 1 · CONSTANTS & CONFIG ───────────────────────────────────────────
+# Goal: Define all configuration values and module-level state in one place
+
+LOGGER_FILE_NAME: str = os.getenv("LOGGER_FILE_NAME", "TEST_LOGGER")
+# WHY: Sentinel default used when no caller sets LOGGER_FILE_NAME — "TEST_LOGGER"
+#      signals test/REPL usage so logs don't silently land in a production module file
+
+DEBUG_PRINT: bool = False
+# WHY: Disabled by default to reduce noise; enable during development only
+
+CONSOLE_LOGGING_ENABLED: bool = (
+    os.getenv("CONSOLE_LOGGING_ENABLED", "false").lower() == "true"
+)
+# WHY: Off by default to keep log output clean; enable via env var when debugging
+
+BUFFER_SIZE: int = 1000
+# WHY: Larger buffer = fewer open()/write() calls = better throughput under burst load
+
+FLUSH_INTERVAL: float = 0.05
+# WHY: 50ms - faster response for flush while keeping syscall overhead low
+
+RETRY_MAX_ATTEMPTS: int = 3
+# WHY: Three attempts cover transient disk/NFS blips without delaying the writer loop
+
+RETRY_BACKOFF_BASE: float = 0.1
+# WHY: 100ms base → 100ms, 200ms, 400ms; fast enough for transient errors, not so
+#      fast it hammers a truly broken disk
+
+PROJECT_DIRECTORY: str = os.path.expandvars(os.getenv("PROJECT_DIRECTORY", ""))
+# WHY: Required — log root must be explicit; empty string triggers ValueError in
+#      _get_log_path() with actionable message rather than silent write to wrong path
+
+_DEFAULT_LOGFILE: str = "LOGS"
+# WHY: Default logfile name — can override via LOGGER_FILE_NAME env var or explicit param
+
+LOGS_LOCAL_TIMEZONE: str = os.getenv("LOGS_LOCAL_TIMEZONE", "")
+# WHY: Local timezone for logging. Set via LOGS_LOCAL_TIMEZONE env var.
+#      Used by _get_timestamp() to include local time alongside UTC.
+#
+# Common timezones:
+#   Asia:       Asia/Kolkata, Asia/Dubai, Asia/Singapore, Asia/Tokyo, Asia/Shanghai
+#   Europe:     Europe/London, Europe/Paris, Europe/Berlin, Europe/Moscow
+#   Americas:   America/New_York, America/Chicago, America/Denver, America/Los_Angeles, America/Toronto
+#   Pacific:    Pacific/Auckland, Pacific/Honolulu
+#   UTC:        UTC (or leave unset)
+
+_LOGS_DIRECTORY: str = "_LOGS_DIRECTORY"
+# WHY: Hardcoded — this is the one canonical log subdirectory for this project.
+#      An env-var default created a whole class of misconfiguration bugs (missing
+#      .env, wrong spacing, stale override) that could silently route logs to the
+#      wrong path. Hardcoding eliminates that surface entirely; rename the constant
+#      here if the directory ever changes.
+
+LOGGER_REGISTER_SIGNALS: bool = (
+    os.getenv("LOGGER_REGISTER_SIGNALS", "false").lower() == "true"
+)
+# WHY: Opt-in avoids silently overriding host app handlers (FastAPI, Gunicorn, etc.)
+
+LOGGER_DAEMON_THREAD: bool = os.getenv("LOGGER_DAEMON_THREAD", "true").lower() == "true"
+# WHY: Daemon=True is the default for fast process exit; set false for critical-path
+#      apps that need guaranteed flush even on abrupt exit (process waits for thread)
+
+LOGGER_MAX_BUFFER_SIZE: int = int(os.getenv("LOGGER_MAX_BUFFER_SIZE", "200000"))
+# WHY: Hard cap prevents unbounded memory growth when disk fails persistently;
+#      200k entries ≈ ~200MB worst-case before oldest entries are dropped
+
+# Logger implementation: stdlib logging (use extra={} for structured fields)
+# WHY: stdlib logging is built-in with zero deps; UniformLevelFormatter outputs JSONL
+# Logger name: __name__ — from DOMAIN_RULES.md §2 Logging Strategy
+logger: logging.Logger | None = None
+# WHY: Initialized to None at module level; _init_logger() assigns at import time;
+#      typed as Logger | None so pyright catches any pre-init call
