Code Review

This PR systematically adjusts logging levels across the codebase, primarily changing tracing::info! calls to tracing::debug! and removing some startup/shutdown log messages. Here's my detailed feedback:

✅ Positive Aspects

  1. Consistent approach: The changes follow a clear pattern of reducing log verbosity for detailed operational information
  2. Reduced log noise: Moving verbose consensus protocol messages (PreAccept, Accept, Commit, etc.) from INFO to DEBUG is appropriate for production environments
  3. Code formatting improvements: The PR also standardizes spacing in structured logging (e.g., runner_name=?path.runner_name instead of runner_name = ?path.runner_name)

🔍 Areas of Concern

1. Critical Event Visibility ⚠️

Some changes might hide important operational events:

engine/packages/cache-purge/src/lib.rs:

  • Removed "starting cache purge subscriber service" and "cache purge subscriber service stopped" messages
  • Recommendation: Keep these at INFO level. Service lifecycle events are typically important for operators to track service health and restarts.

engine/packages/epoxy/src/workflows/coordinator/reconfigure.rs:

  • Lines like "added N replicas as joining" (line 202) changed to DEBUG
  • Recommendation: Configuration changes in a distributed consensus system are significant events that operators should see by default. Consider keeping at INFO or even WARN level.

engine/packages/epoxy/src/workflows/replica/setup.rs:

  • "notifying coordinator that replica is active" and "notified coordinator of active status" moved to DEBUG
  • Recommendation: Replica lifecycle transitions should remain at INFO level for visibility into cluster health.

2. Incomplete Context in Service Manager 📝

engine/packages/service-manager/src/lib.rs:
The diff was truncated but shows changes to service startup/restart logging. Based on the visible changes:

  • service=%service.name formatting changes are good
  • Moving "service exited unexpectedly" and "service crashed" to DEBUG would be inappropriate (they appear to still be ERROR, which is correct)

3. Warning Level Changes ⚠️

engine/packages/gasoline/src/ctx/message.rs:165:

-tracing::warn!(?err, "publish message failed, trying again");
+tracing::debug!(?err, "publish message failed, trying again");
  • Concern: Transient failures that trigger retries should probably remain at WARN level, especially in a workflow engine where message delivery is critical
  • Recommendation: Keep this at WARN level to help identify flaky network conditions or overloaded systems

engine/packages/gasoline/src/worker.rs:155:
The improved message "stop channel closed, workflow likely already stopped" is better, but the context suggests this might be a race condition worth tracking at WARN level.

4. Sleep Duration Warning Threshold

engine/packages/gasoline/src/ctx/workflow.rs:1054:

-if !replay && duration < -50 {
+if !replay && duration < -25 {
  • Question: Why change the threshold from 50ms to 25ms? This makes the warning more sensitive
  • Recommendation: Add a comment explaining the rationale, or consider reverting this change as it's unrelated to log level adjustments

📊 Performance Considerations

✅ No performance concerns. The changes reduce string formatting overhead when DEBUG level is disabled, which is a minor improvement.

🔒 Security Concerns

✅ No security issues identified.

🧪 Test Coverage

Recommendation: Consider adding integration tests that verify:

  1. Critical lifecycle events are logged at appropriate levels
  2. Operational visibility is maintained for cluster health monitoring
  3. Error conditions are still visible at default log levels

📋 Suggested Changes

  1. Revert lifecycle events to INFO:

    • Cache purge service start/stop
    • Replica joining/leaving events
    • Configuration epoch changes
    • Replica status transitions
  2. Keep transient errors at WARN:

    • Message publishing retries
    • Workflow stop channel failures (if they indicate race conditions)
  3. Consider using INFO for configuration changes:

    • engine/packages/epoxy/src/workflows/coordinator/reconfigure.rs - config changes
    • engine/packages/epoxy/src/workflows/coordinator/replica_status_change.rs - status updates
  4. Add context to the PR description:

    • What prompted this change?
    • What's the target default log level for production?
    • Are there specific log aggregation/analysis tools being used?

📚 Reference

From CLAUDE.md:

  • Use tracing for logging. Do not format parameters into the main message, instead use tracing's structured logging.
  • Log messages should be lowercase unless mentioning specific code symbols.

✅ The PR follows these guidelines correctly.

Summary

The direction is good - reducing log verbosity is important for production systems. However, I recommend being more selective about which events move to DEBUG level. Lifecycle events, configuration changes, and transient failures should generally remain visible at INFO or WARN levels to maintain operational visibility.

Would you like me to suggest specific lines to revert, or do you have additional context about the operational requirements that informed these changes?

PR Review: Log Level Adjustments

Summary

This PR adjusts logging levels across multiple packages in the Rivet engine, primarily converting tracing::info! calls to tracing::debug! for verbose operational logs and removing some redundant startup/shutdown messages. This is a good housekeeping change to reduce log noise in production.


Code Quality & Best Practices ✅

Strengths:

  • Consistent application: The changes are systematically applied across the codebase, converting verbose operational logs to debug level
  • Follows CLAUDE.md conventions: Uses structured logging with ? and =? for debug formatting, lowercase messages (e.g., engine/packages/api-public/src/runner_configs/upsert.rs:174)
  • Preserves important logs: Appropriately keeps tracing::warn! and tracing::error! calls at their current levels
  • Improves signal-to-noise ratio: Moving granular consensus protocol messages (pre-accept, accept, prepare, commit) to debug level is appropriate

Minor Observations:

  1. Spacing consistency (engine/packages/api-public/src/runner_configs/upsert.rs:174): Changed runner_name = ?path.runner_name to runner_name=?path.runner_name (removed space around =). While this is consistent with other changes in the PR, I noticed the codebase has mixed spacing styles. Consider standardizing this across the project in a future PR.

  2. Message clarity improvements (engine/packages/gasoline/src/worker.rs:155-158): Excellent improvement! The updated message "stop channel closed, workflow likely already stopped" provides better context than the previous version.

  3. Log removal (engine/packages/cache-purge/src/lib.rs:7-8, 43-44): Removed "starting cache purge subscriber service" and "cache purge subscriber service stopped" messages. This is reasonable since the subscription message at line 12 provides sufficient context.


Specific Changes Worth Noting

EPaxos Protocol Logs (Multiple files in engine/packages/epoxy/):

  • ✅ Converting consensus protocol messages (pre-accept, accept, prepare, commit) from info to debug is appropriate - these are high-frequency messages that should only be visible during debugging
  • ✅ HTTP client fanout messages also appropriately moved to debug level

Gasoline Workflow Engine (engine/packages/gasoline/src/ctx/workflow.rs:1054):

  • ✅ Adjusted threshold from -50 to -25 for negative sleep duration warning. This is a reasonable change, though it would be helpful to understand the rationale (is this to reduce false positives due to timing variations?). Consider adding a comment explaining the threshold choice.

Service Manager (engine/packages/service-manager/src/lib.rs):

  • ✅ Service restart/crash logs remain at appropriate levels (info for restarts, error for crashes)
  • ✅ Only the verbose per-service debug logs were moved to debug level

Tracing Reconfigure (engine/packages/tracing-reconfigure/src/lib.rs:21):

  • ✅ Changed initial subscription message from info to debug and removed startup/shutdown messages, which is appropriate for a background service

Potential Issues 🔍

No critical issues identified, but a few considerations:

  1. Loss of production visibility: While these changes improve log cleanliness, ensure that important operational events are still visible at info level. The changes look good, but consider:

    • Do ops teams have proper access to debug logs when troubleshooting?
    • Are there metrics/alerts to compensate for reduced log visibility?
  2. Removed shutdown messages: Several services had shutdown/exit messages removed (e.g., cache-purge, tracing-reconfigure). While this reduces noise, these messages can be helpful for debugging unexpected service terminations. Consider if any should be retained at warn level.


Performance Considerations ✅

  • Positive impact: Reducing log volume at info level will improve performance in production by reducing I/O, serialization overhead, and log processing costs
  • No runtime cost: Debug logs are filtered at compile time or early in the logging pipeline when disabled
  • The changes to high-frequency paths (EPaxos consensus, HTTP message sending) will have the most noticeable impact

Security Concerns ✅

No security concerns identified. The changes only affect logging levels, not application logic.


Test Coverage

Question: Are there any tests that assert on specific log messages at info level that might now fail? Consider running:

cargo test -- --nocapture 2>&1 | grep -i "assert.*log\|expect.*log\|verify.*log"

Recommendations

  1. Documentation: Consider documenting the logging level conventions in CLAUDE.md or a separate LOGGING.md:

    • error: Application errors that require attention
    • warn: Unexpected conditions that don't cause failures
    • info: Important state changes and lifecycle events
    • debug: Verbose operational details for troubleshooting
  2. Future improvement: Consider using log levels more semantically:

    • Configuration changes → info (retained correctly)
    • Health checks → debug (changed correctly)
    • Consensus protocol details → debug (changed correctly)
    • Service lifecycle → info (some were removed; consider retaining at info or warn)
  3. Consistency check: Run this to ensure consistent spacing in structured logging:

    rg 'tracing::(info|debug|warn|error)!\([^)]*\s=\s[?]' engine/

    Then decide on a standard (space or no space around =).


Conclusion

Overall Assessment: ✅ Approved with minor suggestions

This is a well-executed cleanup PR that improves production log quality by moving verbose operational logs to debug level. The changes are consistent, preserve important information, and follow project conventions. The specific improvements to EPaxos, Gasoline, and service manager logs are particularly valuable for reducing noise in production environments.

Suggested follow-ups (not blockers):

  • Document logging level conventions
  • Standardize structured logging spacing
  • Verify no test failures due to log level changes
  • Consider if any removed shutdown messages should be retained

Great work on improving the logging hygiene! 🎉

Code Review

Thank you for this PR! I've reviewed the changes to standardize log levels across the codebase. Here's my feedback:

Overview

This PR systematically changes log levels from info to debug for verbose operational messages, and makes minor formatting improvements to structured logging. The changes span 30 files with 92 additions and 94 deletions.

Positive Aspects

  1. Improved Log Signal-to-Noise Ratio: Converting verbose operational messages to debug level is a good practice. Messages like "handling pre-accept message", "sending message to replica", and similar low-level protocol operations are more appropriate at debug level.

  2. Consistent Structured Logging: The formatting changes (e.g., runner_name = ?path.runner_namerunner_name=?path.runner_name) improve consistency, though this is a minor style point.

  3. Removal of Redundant Logs: Removing logs like "starting cache purge subscriber service" at the beginning of functions when there's already a more informative log right after is good cleanup.

  4. Appropriate Level Selection: The changes show good judgment about what should be debug vs info vs warn. For example:

    • Protocol message handling (debug) ✓
    • Health checks (debug) ✓
    • Config updates (debug) ✓
    • Service crashes (error) ✓ (kept as-is)

Concerns and Suggestions

1. Sleep Duration Warning Threshold Change (packages/gasoline/src/ctx/workflow.rs:1054)

-if !replay && duration < -50 {
+if !replay && duration < -25 {
    tracing::warn!(%duration, "tried to sleep for a negative duration");
}

Concern: This changes the warning threshold from -50ms to -25ms, making warnings more sensitive. This could lead to more noise if there are legitimate cases of small negative sleep durations due to clock skew or timing variations.

Question: What's the rationale for this change? Is there evidence that the -50ms threshold was masking problematic behavior? This seems unrelated to the log level changes and might deserve its own investigation.

Recommendation: Consider reverting this change or providing justification in the PR description.

2. Message Publishing Retry Logging (packages/gasoline/src/ctx/message.rs:165)

-tracing::warn!(?err, "publish message failed, trying again");
+tracing::debug!(?err, "publish message failed, trying again");

Concern: Downgrading publish failures from warn to debug might make it harder to detect message delivery issues in production. While retries are expected, frequent failures could indicate network issues, NATS problems, or resource constraints.

Recommendation: Consider keeping this at warn level, or at minimum info, since failed message publishes (even with retry) are operationally significant events that operators should be aware of.

3. Removed Service Start/Stop Logs (packages/cache-purge/src/lib.rs)

-tracing::info!("starting cache purge subscriber service");
 // ... service code ...
-tracing::warn!("cache purge subscriber service stopped");

Concern: While the "starting" message might be redundant with the subscription log, the "stopped" warning is valuable for understanding service lifecycle, especially for debugging unexpected shutdowns.

Recommendation: Consider keeping the "service stopped" log at warn or info level, as it signals an important state transition.

4. Sampler Ratio Updates (packages/metrics/src/providers.rs:69)

-tracing::info!(?ratio, "updated sampler ratio");
+tracing::debug!(?ratio, "updated sampler ratio");

Concern: Sampling ratio changes affect what metrics are collected and can impact observability. This is a configuration change that operators might want to track.

Recommendation: Consider keeping this at info level as it's an operationally significant event.

5. Log Filter Reload (packages/runtime/src/traces.rs:155)

Similar concern as #4 - reloading log filters is a significant operational event that changes observability behavior and should probably remain at info level.

Testing Recommendations

  1. Verify Production Observability: Ensure that with these changes, you can still effectively monitor and debug production issues. Consider:

    • Can you detect and diagnose EPaxos consensus issues?
    • Can you identify message delivery problems?
    • Can you track configuration changes?
  2. Integration Testing: Test that important operational events are still visible at default log levels in your monitoring systems.

  3. Performance: While not a primary concern here, verify that the changes don't inadvertently affect performance (though moving to debug should generally improve it).

Minor Issues

  1. Inconsistent Formatting: Some changes standardize the spacing in structured logging (removing spaces around =), but this appears inconsistent across the codebase. Consider a follow-up to standardize this everywhere if it's the preferred style.

  2. Worker Stop Channel (packages/gasoline/src/worker.rs:155-158):

    -tracing::warn!(?workflow_id, "stop channel closed");
    +tracing::warn!(?workflow_id, "stop channel closed, workflow likely already stopped");

    Good improvement! The additional context makes the log message more actionable.

Summary

Overall Assessment: This PR makes valuable improvements to log hygiene by reducing noise at info level. However, there are a few cases where the downgrade might reduce operational visibility for important events.

Recommendation:

  • ✅ Approve the majority of changes (protocol operations, health checks, etc. → debug)
  • ⚠️ Reconsider: message publish failures, service lifecycle events, config changes, and the sleep threshold change
  • 📝 Document: Consider adding a comment in the PR description about the criteria used for choosing log levels

Questions for the Author

  1. What prompted this change? Was production logging too noisy?
  2. Have you validated these changes against production logs to ensure critical events remain visible?
  3. Is the sleep threshold change intentional and related to this PR?

Let me know if you'd like to discuss any of these points!

PR Review: Log Level Changes

Summary

This PR adjusts logging levels across the codebase, primarily downgrading info logs to debug and removing some redundant startup/shutdown logs. The changes touch 30 files with 92 additions and 94 deletions.

Positive Observations

  1. Reduced Log Noise: Moving verbose protocol-level logs to debug (e.g., EPaxos message handling in epoxy/) is appropriate for production environments
  2. Consistent Formatting: Fixed spacing inconsistencies in structured logging (e.g., runner_name = ?runner_name=?)
  3. Strategic Downgrades: Protocol-level operations like pre-accept, accept, commit messages are correctly moved to debug level
  4. Cleanup: Removed redundant "starting/stopping" wrapper logs in cache-purge/src/lib.rs

Issues & Concerns

1. Critical: Potential Loss of Important Operational Visibility

Several downgraded logs may be important for production operations:

Service Manager (service-manager/src/lib.rs):

  • Lines 141, 148: Service crash/restart logs downgraded from error/info to all using service name formatting
  • While the formatting change is fine, ensure crash logs remain at error level for alerting

Workflow Worker (gasoline/src/worker.rs:155):

  • Changed warning message about closed stop channel, but this might indicate a real issue
  • Consider if "workflow likely already stopped" assumption is always safe

Epoxy Configuration (epoxy/src/workflows/coordinator/reconfigure.rs):

  • Lines 269-285: Config changes during reconfigure downgraded to debug
  • These seem like important operational events that should remain at info or warn

2. Inconsistency: Selective Downgrades

Some similar operations have different log levels:

  • Health checks are debug, but some coordinator operations remain at higher levels
  • Consider if there's a clear policy for what should be info vs debug

3. Code Style: Adheres to CLAUDE.md Guidelines

Per the project's logging patterns, the structured logging format changes are correct:

  • Using tracing::info!(?x, "foo") pattern properly
  • Lowercase messages maintained
  • Proper use of structured fields

4. Specific Concern: Sleep Duration Warning Threshold

gasoline/src/ctx/workflow.rs:1054:

-if !replay && duration < -50 {
+if !replay && duration < -25 {
  • This tightens the warning threshold for negative sleep durations
  • Question: Was this causing too many false positives? Is -25ms the right threshold?
  • Consider documenting why this specific threshold was chosen

5. Removed Logs Without Replacement

cache-purge/src/lib.rs:

  • Removed "starting cache purge subscriber service" log
  • Removed "cache purge subscriber service stopped" log
  • Concern: These lifecycle events can be useful for debugging service startup issues
  • Consider keeping at least one log at startup to confirm subscription succeeded

tracing-reconfigure/src/lib.rs:

  • Similar removal of startup logs
  • May make it harder to verify the service is running

Recommendations

  1. Review Downgraded Error/Warn Logs: Ensure configuration change failures in coordinator remain at warn level for visibility
  2. Document Threshold Change: Add a comment explaining the -25ms sleep duration threshold
  3. Consider Keeping Lifecycle Logs: At least one info log per service on successful startup helps operations
  4. Test Log Volume: Verify these changes achieve the desired reduction in production log volume without losing critical information

Testing Coverage

No test changes included. Consider:

  • Manual verification of log output at different levels in development
  • Checking production log volume impact in staging environment

Security Concerns

None identified - purely logging changes.

Performance Impact

Positive - reducing log volume should improve performance slightly, especially in high-throughput paths like EPaxos message handling.

Verdict

The PR is generally well-intentioned and improves log hygiene, but please address:

  1. The sleep duration threshold change rationale
  2. Whether config change failures should remain at warn
  3. Consider keeping minimal lifecycle logs for operational visibility

Overall: Approve with minor suggestions

The core changes are sound, but some specific downgrades may need reconsideration based on operational requirements.

PR Review: Log Level Changes

Thanks for this PR @MasterPtato! I've reviewed the changes and have the following feedback:

✅ Positive Aspects

  1. Consistent approach: The PR systematically downgrades many tracing::info! calls to tracing::debug! across multiple packages, which will reduce log noise in production
  2. Adheres to logging conventions: The spacing changes (e.g., runner_name = ?path.runner_namerunner_name=?path.runner_name) align with the structured logging patterns shown in CLAUDE.md
  3. Removes redundant logs: Removing duplicate "starting" messages in cache-purge/src/lib.rs (lines 8 & 14) improves log clarity
  4. Appropriate scope: Changes are focused on logging only, making the PR easy to review and unlikely to introduce functional bugs

📊 Key Changes Summary

  • 92 additions, 94 deletions across 30 files
  • Main change: info!debug! for verbose operational messages
  • Spacing standardization: key = ?valuekey=?value
  • Removal of some startup/shutdown log messages

🔍 Observations & Suggestions

1. Sleep Duration Warning Threshold Change (gasoline/src/ctx/workflow.rs:1054)

-if !replay && duration < -50 {
+if !replay && duration < -25 {

Question: This changes the warning threshold from -50ms to -25ms for negative sleep durations. This makes the warning more sensitive (will trigger more often). Was this intentional? If so, it would be helpful to understand the reasoning in the PR description.

2. Critical Path Logging (epoxy/src/http_client.rs)

The changes downgrade several HTTP message sending logs from info! to debug!:

  • send_message_to_address function logs (lines 118, 129, 186)
  • fanout_quorum function logs (line 60)

Consideration: These are core consensus protocol operations. While I understand the desire to reduce log noise, consider whether you want visibility into message passing for debugging distributed consensus issues in production. You might want to keep some of these at info! level, especially for failed attempts or slow operations.

3. Removed Service Lifecycle Logs (cache-purge/src/lib.rs)

-tracing::info!("starting cache purge subscriber service");
// ...
-tracing::warn!("cache purge subscriber service stopped");

Suggestion: While the "starting" message was redundant (there's already a subscription log), the "stopped" message could be valuable for diagnosing unexpected service terminations. Consider keeping it at warn! level since a stopped service is potentially problematic.

4. Service Manager Warning (gasoline/src/worker.rs:155-158)

 if wf.stop.send(()).is_err() {
     tracing::warn!(
         ?workflow_id,
-        "stop channel closed"
+        "stop channel closed, workflow likely already stopped"
     );
 }

Good change: The improved message provides better context for this expected race condition.

5. Performance Impact

Positive: Downgrading verbose logs to debug! will improve performance in production since debug logs are typically filtered out. The tracing crate is efficient, but reducing log volume still helps.

🐛 Potential Issues

None identified. The changes are mechanical and don't alter control flow or logic.

🔒 Security Concerns

None identified. The changes don't affect authentication, authorization, or data handling.

🧪 Test Coverage

Note: This PR doesn't include test changes, which is appropriate since it only modifies logging. However, you might want to:

  • Verify that critical error paths still have adequate logging at warn! or error! levels
  • Ensure that diagnostic information needed for debugging production issues is still available

📝 Recommendations

  1. Add PR description: Explain the motivation (e.g., "reducing log noise in production environments" or "improving signal-to-noise ratio in logs")
  2. Clarify the sleep threshold change: Document why -25ms threshold is better than -50ms
  3. Consider selective info logs: For critical distributed consensus operations (EPaxos protocol), you might want to keep some info-level logs for production debugging
  4. Document log level philosophy: Consider adding guidance to CLAUDE.md about when to use debug! vs info! vs warn! to maintain consistency going forward

✨ Overall Assessment

This is a solid cleanup PR that will improve log quality by reducing noise. The changes are mechanical, safe, and follow established patterns. The main suggestion is to add context in the PR description and reconsider a few strategically important logs.

Recommendation: ✅ Approve with minor suggestions - The changes are good, just add some context to the PR description.

Code Review - PR #3333: Change Log Levels

Summary

This PR makes systematic changes to logging levels throughout the codebase, primarily converting tracing::info! calls to tracing::debug! and standardizing formatting. Overall, this is a positive change that will reduce log noise in production environments.

Strengths

  1. Consistent approach: The changes follow a clear pattern - demoting verbose operational logs from info to debug level
  2. Good targeting: Correctly identifies logs that are more useful for debugging than production monitoring:
    • Protocol message handling (pre-accept, accept, commit, etc.)
    • HTTP client communication details
    • Consensus algorithm internals
    • Workflow state transitions
  3. Formatting improvements: Standardizes parameter formatting (e.g., runner_name=?path.runner_name instead of runner_name = ?path.runner_name)
  4. Cleanup: Removes redundant startup/shutdown messages in cache-purge and tracing-reconfigure services

Issues & Concerns

1. Potentially Important Logs Demoted (Minor)

Some demoted logs might still be valuable at info level for production monitoring:

  • engine/packages/epoxy/src/workflows/coordinator/replica_status_change.rs:88-92: Replica status changes are significant events that operators likely want to see
  • engine/packages/service-manager/src/lib.rs:125: Service start count is useful startup information
  • engine/packages/cache-purge/src/lib.rs:12: Initial subscription confirmation helps verify the service is working

Recommendation: Consider keeping these at info level, or document the rationale for demoting them.

2. Sleep Duration Warning Threshold Change (Needs Clarification)

engine/packages/gasoline/src/ctx/workflow.rs:1054:

-if !replay && duration < -50 {
+if !replay && duration < -25 {

This changes the threshold for warning about negative sleep durations from 50ms to 25ms. This will produce more warnings for smaller timing discrepancies.

Questions:

  • Was this intentional or an oversight?
  • Is there a specific reason for the tighter threshold?
  • Should this be in a separate commit/PR since it's a behavioral change, not just a log level change?

3. Missing Context in Commit Message

The commit message "chore: change log levels" doesn't explain:

  • Why these changes were made
  • What problem they solve (e.g., "reduce log noise in production")
  • Whether any alerting or monitoring depends on these log levels

Recommendation: Add more context to help future maintainers understand the rationale.

4. Worker Stop Channel Warning (Good Fix)

engine/packages/gasoline/src/worker.rs:155-158: This is a good improvement - explaining that a closed channel likely means the workflow already stopped provides helpful context.

Code Quality

Follows CLAUDE.md conventions:

  • Lowercase log messages ✓
  • Structured logging with proper parameter syntax ✓
  • Consistent formatting ✓

No functionality changes (except the sleep warning threshold)

No security concerns

No performance impact

Test Coverage

⚠️ No tests included - This is acceptable for a logging change, but consider:

  • Manual verification that critical operational events are still visible
  • Checking if any monitoring/alerting relies on these log levels

Recommendations

  1. Split the sleep threshold change: Consider moving the duration < -25 change to a separate PR with explanation
  2. Document the strategy: Add a comment in the PR description explaining the criteria for info vs debug:
    • info: Service lifecycle, significant state changes, errors
    • debug: Protocol details, individual message handling, detailed workflow steps
  3. Audit remaining info logs: Consider if other protocol-level logs should also be demoted for consistency
  4. Consider structured logging levels: For critical services like Epoxy coordinator, consider if replica status changes merit info level

Verdict

Approve with minor suggestions

This PR improves the signal-to-noise ratio in production logs. The changes are safe and follow good practices. The sleep threshold change should be clarified, but the overall direction is sound.

PR Review: Log Level Changes

Overall Assessment

This PR makes systematic changes to adjust log levels across the codebase. The changes are consistent and follow a clear pattern. Overall, this is a clean refactoring that improves observability by reducing log noise.

Positive Observations

Consistent Pattern: The PR consistently moves verbose operational logs from info to debug level, which is appropriate for:

  • Internal protocol messages (Epoxy consensus messages: pre-accept, accept, commit, etc.)
  • HTTP client operations
  • Routine state transitions
  • Health checks and configuration updates

CLAUDE.md Compliance: The changes follow the structured logging convention correctly:

  • Uses ? for debug formatting (e.g., ?replica_id, ?instance)
  • Properly structured field names
  • Consistent spacing around = in log statements

Removes Redundant Logs: Appropriately removes service start/stop logs in cache-purge/src/lib.rs:7-8,42-43 that don't add value

Improves Message Clarity: In gasoline/src/worker.rs:155-157, the warning message was enhanced to be more descriptive: "stop channel closed" → "stop channel closed, workflow likely already stopped"

Areas of Concern

⚠️ Inconsistent Spacing in One Location: In engine/packages/api-public/src/runner_configs/upsert.rs:174, the change introduces inconsistent spacing:

// Changed from:
runner_name = ?path.runner_name
// To:
runner_name=?path.runner_name  // Missing space around =

This is inconsistent with the rest of the codebase which uses field = value (with spaces). Recommendation: Change to runner_name = ?path.runner_name for consistency.

⚠️ Threshold Change Without Context: In gasoline/src/ctx/workflow.rs:1054, the threshold for negative duration warnings was changed from -50 to -25 ms:

if !replay && duration < -25 {  // Was -50
    tracing::warn!(%duration, "tried to sleep for a negative duration");
}

Question: Was this an intentional tightening of the tolerance, or related to the log level changes? This seems orthogonal to the log level refactoring. Consider explaining this change in the PR description or commit message.

Impact Analysis

Performance: ✅ Positive - Reducing log verbosity will improve performance in production by reducing I/O and serialization overhead.

Observability: ✅ Positive - Moving routine operational logs to debug level reduces noise while keeping important information available when needed.

Security: ✅ No concerns - No security-sensitive data is being exposed or hidden.

Test Coverage: ℹ️ N/A - Log level changes don't require test coverage changes.

Recommendations

  1. Fix spacing inconsistency in api-public/src/runner_configs/upsert.rs:174 to use runner_name = ?path.runner_name
  2. Document the threshold change in gasoline/src/ctx/workflow.rs:1054 or move it to a separate commit if it's unrelated to log levels
  3. Consider: If you haven't already, verify that important error conditions are still logged at warn or error levels (though this PR doesn't seem to downgrade any error logs)

Verdict

Approve with minor suggestions - This is a solid cleanup that improves the signal-to-noise ratio in production logs. The inconsistency and undocumented threshold change are minor issues that should be addressed, but they don't block the PR.
