Merge branch 'master' into logger-level

Fixed malformed comment in .env.development that was causing
"export: production).=: not a valid identifier" error in build scripts.
The comment was split across lines, causing the shell to interpret
" production)." as a variable assignment.

- Removed malformed comment line that was breaking build:web script
- Build script now successfully validates environment and starts server
- Resolves issue preventing Playwright tests from running properly

 TimeSafari provides a simple script-based approach to clear the local database (not the claim server) for development purposes.
 
+## Logging Configuration
+
+TimeSafari supports configurable logging levels via the `VITE_LOG_LEVEL` environment variable. This allows developers to control console output verbosity without modifying code.
+
+### Quick Usage
+
+```bash
+# Show only errors
+VITE_LOG_LEVEL=error npm run dev
+
+# Show warnings and errors
+VITE_LOG_LEVEL=warn npm run dev
+
+# Show info, warnings, and errors (default)
+VITE_LOG_LEVEL=info npm run dev
+
+# Show all log levels including debug
+VITE_LOG_LEVEL=debug npm run dev
+```
+
+### Available Levels
+
+- **`error`**: Critical errors only
+- **`warn`**: Warnings and errors (default for production web)
+- **`info`**: Info, warnings, and errors (default for development/capacitor)
+- **`debug`**: All log levels including verbose debugging
+
+See [Logging Configuration Guide](doc/logging-configuration.md) for complete details.

+# Logging Configuration Guide
+
+## Overview
+
+TimeSafari now supports configurable logging levels via the `VITE_LOG_LEVEL` environment variable. This allows developers to control the verbosity of console output without modifying code.
+
+## Available Log Levels
+
+| Level | Value | Description | Console Output |
+|-------|-------|-------------|----------------|
+| `error` | 0 | Errors only | Critical errors only |
+| `warn` | 1 | Warnings and errors | Warnings and errors |
+| `info` | 2 | Info, warnings, and errors | General information, warnings, and errors |
+| `debug` | 3 | All log levels | Verbose debugging information |
+
+## Environment Variable
+
+Set the `VITE_LOG_LEVEL` environment variable to control logging:
+
+```bash
+# Show only errors
+VITE_LOG_LEVEL=error
+
+# Show warnings and errors (default for production web)
+VITE_LOG_LEVEL=warn
+
+# Show info, warnings, and errors (default for development/capacitor)
+VITE_LOG_LEVEL=info
+
+# Show all log levels including debug
+VITE_LOG_LEVEL=debug
+```
+
+## Default Behavior by Platform
+
+The logger automatically selects appropriate default log levels based on your platform and environment:
+
+- **Production Web**: `warn` (warnings and errors only)
+- **Electron**: `error` (errors only - very quiet)
+- **Development/Capacitor**: `info` (info and above)
+
+## Usage Examples
+
+### Setting Log Level in Development
+
+```bash
+# In your terminal before running the app
+export VITE_LOG_LEVEL=debug
+npm run dev
+
+# Or inline
+VITE_LOG_LEVEL=debug npm run dev
+```
+
+### Setting Log Level in Production
+
+```bash
+# For verbose production logging
+VITE_LOG_LEVEL=info npm run build:web
+
+# For minimal production logging
+VITE_LOG_LEVEL=warn npm run build:web
+```
+
+### Programmatic Access
+
+The logger provides methods to check current configuration:
+
+```typescript
+import { logger } from '@/utils/logger';
+
+// Get current log level
+const currentLevel = logger.getCurrentLevel(); // 'info'
+
+// Check if a level is enabled
+const debugEnabled = logger.isLevelEnabled('debug'); // false if level < debug
+
+// Get available levels
+const levels = logger.getAvailableLevels(); // ['error', 'warn', 'info', 'debug']
+```
+
+## Database Logging
+
+Database logging continues to work regardless of console log level settings. All log messages are still stored in the database for debugging and audit purposes.
+
+## Migration Notes
+
+- **Existing code**: No changes required - logging behavior remains the same
+- **New feature**: Use `VITE_LOG_LEVEL` to override default behavior
+- **Backward compatible**: All existing logging calls work as before
+
+## Best Practices
+
+1. **Development**: Use `VITE_LOG_LEVEL=debug` for maximum visibility
+2. **Testing**: Use `VITE_LOG_LEVEL=info` for balanced output
+3. **Production**: Use `VITE_LOG_LEVEL=warn` for minimal noise
+4. **Debugging**: Temporarily set `VITE_LOG_LEVEL=debug` to troubleshoot issues
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### No Logs Appearing
+
+Check your `VITE_LOG_LEVEL` setting:
+```bash
+echo $VITE_LOG_LEVEL
+```
+
+### Too Many Logs
+
+Reduce verbosity by setting a lower log level:
+```bash
+VITE_LOG_LEVEL=warn
+```
+
+### Platform-Specific Issues
+
+Remember that Electron is very quiet by default. Use `VITE_LOG_LEVEL=info` to see more output in Electron builds.
