- Environment-aware logging: Different behavior in development vs production
- Structured logging: Consistent log formatting with timestamps, categories, and levels
- Multiple log levels: DEBUG, INFO, WARN, ERROR
- Performance optimization: Reduced console output in production
- External service ready: Built to integrate with error tracking services (Sentry, LogRocket, etc.)
- Log history tracking: Maintains in-memory log history for debugging
- Specialized methods: Category-specific logging functions for different app areas

// Audio errors
logAudioError('Failed to play track', error, { trackId: 'calm-rain' });
// Video call events
logVideoCall('User joined session', { sessionId: 'sess_123', duration: 1800 });
// Meditation tracking
logMeditation('Session completed', { type: 'mindfulness', duration: 600 });
// General logging
logger.info('USER_ACTION', 'Settings updated', { theme: 'dark', notifications: true });This implementation provides a solid foundation for production-ready logging that will help with debugging, monitoring, and maintaining the Mind Care application as it grows and scales.
