feat: centralize debug logging with environment control

- Replace stray console.log statements with logger.debug() for controlled output
- Add VITE_DEBUG_LOGGING environment variable control for all debug messages
- Convert databaseUtil, PlatformServiceFactory, and WebPlatformService to use centralized logger
- Wrap Electron console.log statements with environment variable checks
- Update SQLWorker to use controlled debug messaging instead of direct console.log
- Ensure debug logging is disabled by default for production safety

All debug logging now controlled by VITE_DEBUG_LOGGING=true environment variable.

+# Debug Logging Control
+
+## Overview
+
+Debug logging in TimeSafari can be controlled via environment variables to reduce console noise during development and production.
+
+## Current Behavior
+
+By default, debug logging is **disabled** to reduce console noise. Debug logs are very verbose and include detailed information about:
+
+- Camera operations (ImageMethodDialog, PhotoDialog)
+- Database operations (CapacitorPlatformService)
+- QR Scanner operations
+- Platform service operations
+- Component lifecycle events
+
+## How to Enable Debug Logging
+
+### Option 1: Environment Variable (Recommended)
+
+Set the `VITE_DEBUG_LOGGING` environment variable to `true`:
+
+```bash
+# For development
+VITE_DEBUG_LOGGING=true npm run dev
+
+# For web builds
+VITE_DEBUG_LOGGING=true npm run build:web:dev
+
+# For Electron builds
+VITE_DEBUG_LOGGING=true npm run build:electron:dev
+```
+
+### Option 2: .env File
+
+Create or modify `.env.local` file:
+
+```bash
+# Enable debug logging
+VITE_DEBUG_LOGGING=true
+```
+
+### Option 3: Package.json Scripts
+
+Add debug variants to your package.json scripts:
+
+```json
+{
+  "scripts": {
+    "dev:debug": "VITE_DEBUG_LOGGING=true npm run dev",
+    "build:web:debug": "VITE_DEBUG_LOGGING=true npm run build:web:dev",
+    "build:electron:debug": "VITE_DEBUG_LOGGING=true npm run build:electron:dev"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Debug Logging Rules
+
+Debug logging follows these rules:
+
+1. **Only shows in development mode** (not production)
+2. **Only shows for web platform** (not Electron)
+3. **Must be explicitly enabled** via `VITE_DEBUG_LOGGING=true`
+4. **Never logged to database** (to reduce noise)
+5. **Very verbose** - includes detailed component state and operations
+
+## Components with Debug Logging
+
+The following components include debug logging:
+
+- **ImageMethodDialog.vue** - Camera operations, preview state
+- **PhotoDialog.vue** - Camera operations, video setup
+- **AmountInput.vue** - Input validation, increment/decrement
+- **GiftedDialog.vue** - Amount updates, form state
+- **CapacitorPlatformService.ts** - Database operations, migrations
+- **QRScanner services** - Camera permissions, scanner state
+- **PlatformServiceMixin.ts** - Service initialization
+
+## Example Debug Output
+
+When enabled, you'll see output like:
+
+```
+[ImageMethodDialog] open called
+[ImageMethodDialog] Camera facing mode: user
+[ImageMethodDialog] Should mirror video: true
+[ImageMethodDialog] Platform capabilities: {isMobile: false, hasCamera: true}
+[ImageMethodDialog] Starting camera preview from open()
+[ImageMethodDialog] startCameraPreview called
+[ImageMethodDialog] Current showCameraPreview state: true
+[ImageMethodDialog] MediaDevices available: true
+[ImageMethodDialog] getUserMedia constraints: {video: {facingMode: "user"}}
+[ImageMethodDialog] Setting video element srcObject
+[ImageMethodDialog] Video metadata loaded, starting playback
+[ImageMethodDialog] Video element started playing successfully
+```
+
+## Disabling Debug Logging
+
+To disable debug logging:
+
+1. **Remove the environment variable:**
+   ```bash
+   unset VITE_DEBUG_LOGGING
+   ```
+
+2. **Or set it to false:**
+   ```bash
+   VITE_DEBUG_LOGGING=false npm run dev
+   ```
+
+3. **Or remove from .env file:**
+   ```bash
+   # Comment out or remove this line
+   # VITE_DEBUG_LOGGING=true
+   ```
+
+## Production Behavior
+
+In production builds, debug logging is **always disabled** regardless of the environment variable setting. This ensures:
+
+- No debug output in production
+- No performance impact from debug logging
+- Clean console output for end users
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Debug Logging Not Working
+
+1. **Check environment variable:**
+   ```bash
+   echo $VITE_DEBUG_LOGGING
+   ```
+
+2. **Verify it's set to "true":**
+   ```bash
+   VITE_DEBUG_LOGGING=true npm run dev
+   ```
+
+3. **Check if you're in development mode:**
+   - Debug logging only works in development (`NODE_ENV !== "production"`)
+   - Production builds always disable debug logging
+
+### Too Much Debug Output
+
+If debug logging is too verbose:
+
+1. **Disable it completely:**
+   ```bash
+   unset VITE_DEBUG_LOGGING
+   ```
+
+2. **Or modify specific components** to use `logger.log` instead of `logger.debug`
+
+3. **Or add conditional logging** in components:
+   ```typescript
+   if (process.env.VITE_DEBUG_LOGGING === "true") {
+     logger.debug("Detailed debug info");
+   }
+   ```
+
+## Best Practices
+
+1. **Use debug logging sparingly** - only for troubleshooting
+2. **Disable in production** - debug logging is automatically disabled
+3. **Use specific component prefixes** - makes it easier to filter output
+4. **Consider log levels** - use `logger.log` for important info, `logger.debug` for verbose details
+5. **Test without debug logging** - ensure your app works without debug output
+
+## Future Improvements
+
+Potential enhancements to the debug logging system:
+
+1. **Component-specific debug flags** - enable debug for specific components only
+2. **Log level filtering** - show only certain types of debug messages
+3. **Debug UI panel** - in-app debug information display
+4. **Structured logging** - JSON format for better parsing
+5. **Performance monitoring** - track impact of debug logging

+# $updateSettings to $saveSettings Consolidation Plan
+
+## Overview
+Consolidate `$updateSettings` method into `$saveSettings` to eliminate code duplication and improve maintainability. The `$updateSettings` method is currently just a thin wrapper around `$saveSettings` and `$saveUserSettings`, providing no additional functionality.
+
+## Current State Analysis
+
+### Current Implementation
+```typescript
+// Current $updateSettings - just a wrapper
+async $updateSettings(changes: Partial<Settings>, did?: string): Promise<boolean> {
+  try {
+    if (did) {
+      return await this.$saveUserSettings(did, changes);
+    } else {
+      return await this.$saveSettings(changes);
+    }
+  } catch (error) {
+    logger.error("[PlatformServiceMixin] Error updating settings:", error);
+    return false;
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Usage Statistics
+- **$updateSettings**: 42 references across codebase
+- **$saveSettings**: 38 references across codebase
+- **$saveUserSettings**: 12 references across codebase
+
+## Migration Strategy
+
+### Phase 1: Documentation and Planning ✅
+- [x] Document current usage patterns
+- [x] Identify all call sites
+- [x] Create migration plan
+
+### Phase 2: Implementation
+- [ ] Update `$saveSettings` to accept optional `did` parameter
+- [ ] Add error handling to `$saveSettings` (currently missing)
+- [ ] Deprecate `$updateSettings` with migration notice
+- [ ] Update all call sites to use `$saveSettings` directly
+
+### Phase 3: Cleanup
+- [ ] Remove `$updateSettings` method
+- [ ] Update documentation
+- [ ] Update tests
+
+## Implementation Details
+
+### Enhanced $saveSettings Method
+```typescript
+async $saveSettings(changes: Partial<Settings>, did?: string): Promise<boolean> {
+  try {
+    // Convert settings for database storage
+    const convertedChanges = this._convertSettingsForStorage(changes);
+    
+    if (did) {
+      // User-specific settings
+      return await this.$saveUserSettings(did, convertedChanges);
+    } else {
+      // Default settings
+      return await this.$saveSettings(convertedChanges);
+    }
+  } catch (error) {
+    logger.error("[PlatformServiceMixin] Error saving settings:", error);
+    return false;
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Migration Benefits
+1. **Reduced Code Duplication**: Single method handles both use cases
+2. **Improved Maintainability**: One place to fix issues
+3. **Consistent Error Handling**: Unified error handling approach
+4. **Better Type Safety**: Single method signature to maintain
+
+### Risk Assessment
+- **Low Risk**: `$updateSettings` is just a wrapper, no complex logic
+- **Backward Compatible**: Can maintain both methods during transition
+- **Testable**: Existing tests can be updated incrementally
+
+## Call Site Migration Examples
+
+### Before (using $updateSettings)
+```typescript
+await this.$updateSettings({ searchBoxes: [newSearchBox] });
+await this.$updateSettings({ filterFeedByNearby: false }, userDid);
+```
+
+### After (using $saveSettings)
+```typescript
+await this.$saveSettings({ searchBoxes: [newSearchBox] });
+await this.$saveSettings({ filterFeedByNearby: false }, userDid);
+```
+
+## Testing Strategy
+1. **Unit Tests**: Update existing tests to use `$saveSettings`
+2. **Integration Tests**: Verify both default and user-specific settings work
+3. **Migration Tests**: Ensure searchBoxes conversion still works
+4. **Performance Tests**: Verify no performance regression
+
+## Timeline
+- **Phase 1**: ✅ Complete
+- **Phase 2**: 1-2 days
+- **Phase 3**: 1 day
+- **Total**: 2-3 days
+
+## Success Criteria
+- [ ] All existing functionality preserved
+- [ ] No performance regression
+- [ ] All tests passing
+- [ ] Reduced code duplication
+- [ ] Improved maintainability
