Problem: Duplicate trace rows were appearing in Application Insights for the same log event, often with different customProperties payloads. Root cause: Two telemetry paths were active at the same time: - Explicit trace emission through the custom Winston to Application Insights transport. - SDK auto-collection of logger/console output. This caused the same logical log to be ingested twice with different property envelopes. Fix: Disable SDK console/logger auto-collection explicitly with setAutoCollectConsole(false, false), keeping a single, intentional telemetry path through the custom transport.
