Description

Reduce the default mlaunch verbosity from 5 to 2. The previous default of 5 caused mlaunch to pass five -v flags to devicectl, producing massive debug output (full device property trees, connection details, capabilities) that clutters Helix console logs.

Reducing to 2 keeps useful diagnostic info while removing the noise. This aligns with the verbosity already used by AppInstaller (which hardcodes verbosity: 2).

Changes

  • IMlaunchProcessManager.cs: Change default verbosity parameter from 5 to 2
  • MlaunchProcessManager.cs: Change default verbosity parameter from 5 to 2

The default verbosity of 5 causes mlaunch to pass five -v flags to
devicectl, producing massive debug output (full device property trees,
connection details, capabilities) that clutters console logs. Reducing
to 2 keeps useful diagnostic info while removing the noise.
