docs(distributed): Document log server and crash-safe logger#435
Merged
Conversation
Add comprehensive documentation for advanced production logging features: Log Server: - Centralized log collection architecture - server_config with compression/encryption flags - Multi-threaded worker pool design - Deployment patterns (single server, multi-region, ELK integration) - Factory methods: create_basic(), create_default() - Docker deployment examples Crash-Safe Logger: - Signal handler-based emergency flush (SIGSEGV, SIGABRT, SIGTERM, SIGINT) - Async-signal-safe implementation (no allocations in handlers) - flush_with_timeout() for deadlock prevention - Auto-flush background thread for data durability - Atomic log level management - Performance overhead benchmarks: 2-10% vs standard logger Combined Usage: - Local crash safety + network forwarding topology - Server-side crash protection - Complete production deployment with multi-tier filtering Addresses issue #431 acceptance criteria: - Log server architecture with component diagram - Full API reference with examples - Crash safety mechanism explanation - Recovery procedure documentation - Performance overhead analysis - Deployment topology examples Closes #431
