dtrentin 60ce1c9d57 feat(15-logging): NLog structured logging — all output through NLog (v0.5 complete)
Phase 15 complete (2 plans):
- 15-01: NLog 5.2.8 + nlog.config (rolling file daily/7d + console); logger fields in
  FanucMachine, HeidenhainMachine, SiemensMachine, MitsubishiMachine, Lsv2Client, Program.cs;
  SetState event handler catches → _log.Warn; cleanup catches annotated; ISS-003/ISS-004 closed
- 15-02: All Console.Write/WriteLine in Program.cs replaced with _log.Info (103 calls);
  nlog.config console target layout=${message}, levels=Info only — Warn/Error file-only;
  operator console output identical; every interaction now timestamped in log file

Milestone v0.5 Operational Quality complete.

15-01 NLog wired into all classes; _log field + _log.Error in Program.cs
All operator output through NLog (_log.Info)
Console shows plain text identical to before (${message} layout)
All output timestamped in log file

All Console.Write/WriteLine replaced with _log.Info; operator output fully NLog-routed

nlog.config
Program.cs
Multi-line Console.WriteLine block split into 7 individual _log.Info calls — one per field
Console.ReadLine() in VediErrore preserved — debug pause, not output
console rule uses levels='Info' not minlevel — Warn/Error to file only

Phase 15 Plan 02: Console → NLog Summary

All 97 Console.Write/WriteLine calls in Program.cs replaced with _log.Info; nlog.config console target reconfigured to plain ${message} layout, Info-only.

Acceptance Criteria Results

Criterion Status Notes
AC-1: Console output unchanged for operator Pass layout=${message}; no level/logger prefix; text identical
AC-2: All operator output recorded in log file Pass file rule minlevel="Debug" unchanged; Info calls go to file
AC-3: Warn/Error stay out of operator console Pass console rule levels="Info" (not minlevel) — Warn/Error file only

Accomplishments

  • Program.cs: zero Console.Write/Console.WriteLine calls remain
  • nlog.config: console target layout=${message}, rule levels="Info" (exactly Info only)
  • Full operator session now timestamped in logs/nc_program_manager.log

Files Created/Modified

File Change Purpose
nlog.config Modified Console target: layout ${message}, rule levels="Info"
Program.cs Modified 97 Console.* calls → _log.Info; 103 _log.Info total; 3 _log.Error unchanged

Decisions Made

Decision Rationale Impact
Multi-line Console.WriteLine → 7 _log.Info calls One call per field is cleaner; log file shows each field on its own timestamped line _log.Info count 103 vs plan-predicted 98
Console.ReadLine() preserved Debug pause, not output — out of scope per plan constraints grep Console. = 1, not 0

Deviations from Plan

Summary

Type Count Impact
Auto-fixed 0
Scope additions 0
Count discrepancy 1 Immaterial

Detail

_log.Info count: 103 vs plan-predicted 98

  • Plan expected: 97 former WriteLine + 1 merged pair = 98
  • Actual: multi-line Console.WriteLine("manufacturer: " + ... "\n" + ...) was 1 call but split to 7 _log.Info calls (one per field)
  • Impact: none; all output correct; count difference is additive not subtractive

grep -c "Console." = 1, not 0

  • Plan verification regex Console\. matches Console.ReadLine() which must stay (debug pause)
  • Zero Console.Write / Console.WriteLine remain — plan intent fully met
  • Plan's verify command was slightly too broad

Issues Encountered

None.

Next Phase Readiness

Ready:

  • Phase 15 logging complete — both plans done
  • All operator output through NLog with timestamps
  • Warn/Error isolated to log file; console clean

Concerns:

  • None

Blockers:

  • None — Phase 15 complete; v0.5 milestone complete
