  • docs: document log.rule() and how a report's prose is written `ReportLog.rule()` draws the full width rule that separates one part of a session report from the next. It takes `before` and `after` for the blank lines around it, and `char` for what it is drawn with, so a report can divide at more than one weight without the rules going to different lengths. *Logging* gains a row in the vocabulary table, a short block on horizontal division beside the one on nesting, and two new pitfalls: a paragraph of prose folded into one string with its own `\n `, and a parameter block written as one format string. The existing pitfall on hand-typed indentation now names rules too, since that is the same mistake and it has a method now. *Whitepaper-Logging* gains two sections. "Furniture is drawn, not typed" covers `blank`, `rule` and `framed` together, and states the property `rule` exists to protect -- the width does not change with the character. "Prose in a report" covers the preamble at the head of a session report: a module level triple-quoted constant rather than a string carrying its own wrapping, `textwrap.fill` where it has substitutions in it, and the parameters a command quotes back kept as a list the report loops over rather than a format string that drifts from `options`. The section on `raw()` is now two shapes rather than three. Framing was one of them, and it is no longer something `raw()` is reached for. *Developer utilities* gains the three calls in its example block.

  • docs: updated for the new logging infrastructure Adds a logging whitepaper -- the first entry of a new whitepapers section on the home page -- describing how logging is implemented: the runlog and the comlog, the report object and its vocabulary, the log files and their lifecycle, the settings, the life of a log for a processing command, a utility command and a recipe, a worked example of every logging method in both kinds of command, where the logs land, and every setting with what it does. Adds a shorter Logging page with the same material in working form: the key ideas, the shape of each kind of command, the vocabulary table, the rules, the pitfalls, and how to get the most out of the available instruments. Developer utilities and classes gains the logging classes and examples of the report methods beside the lines they render. Command registry and command types states that a processing function returns a log object, in the shared signature, the type table and each of the three processing sections. Python only; the bash entry point's logging is not covered. github issue: 77
