Loresis now sends labelled warn/error events to Chief

Initial ask

Cover LiveCEOEmailCalendar (Loresis, connect.loresis.ai) with structured logging so every labelled warn/error from any user reaches Chief:

audit the entrypoints and failure paths
add a small batching logger with a disk spool that drains on recovery
instrument failures and key actions
audit the existing error logs: downgrade the system-working cases, move ids out of messages
never log secrets or personal data
commit in chunks and hand off to Chief's pipeline (no merge)

No later owner feedback.

Branch chief/212c6587f7, cut from main at d90eeeafb4d43e7433edfb077ecb6a3c790d5c2c, pushed to origin. All times UTC, 2026-10-28.

01:06: b8b747850e0d3ba08501979cdc67866385c782f9. Logger plus central wiring.
01:17: 018f99f358620f39a32365bf493922924d0089b4. Subsystem instrumentation, browser reporter, existing-log audit.
01:30: e450f35222c7e219d6a19360a33769dec33ba067. Build-warning cleanup, /healthz failures logged.
01:30: 8f5d29416b092873de99663846a545c75d7927c6. run.sh requires the Chief settings; docs.
About 01:25: added CHIEF_LOG_URL and CHIEF_LOG_TOKEN to /opt/liveceo-secrets/loresis.env on loresis-prod. Nothing was restarted.

Logger (src/lib/log.ts). Builds events to the Chief contract, with the workspace id as user, the image tag as release and server/container as host. Batches go out every 3 s, at 256 KB or at 500 events. On network failure or a 5xx, batches spool to $DATA_DIR/chief-log-spool.ndjson and drain oldest-first on recovery. A 400/403 is dropped with a loud stderr line. Emails and credential-shaped text are masked. Every event is also printed for docker logs.
Central wiring.

The API route wrapper logs every failure. Server failures and runtime bugs are error. Refusals, 404s, usage limits and signed-out requests (expected) are warn.
Next's onRequestError covers page renders and the routes outside the wrapper.
Uncaught exceptions and rejections are reported.
Every background job, start-up recovery step and /healthz failure is logged.

Subsystems. Mail runs, assistant chat/dashboard requests, tool calls, the Claude subscription credential, knowledge indexing, data connections, GitHub sync/reviews, approved email/calendar/Telegram sends, Recall webhooks and calls, Browser Use, dashboard refresh, website reads, Telegram, voice and auth. Sparse info events mark key actions.
Browser errors. Uncaught errors and React render crashes now reach Chief through /api/client-errors.
Existing-log audit. All 34 existing console.error/console.warn calls were replaced:

9 downgraded from error: 8 to warn or level-by-cause, 1 to info.
2 sources marked expected.
Variable parts moved into ctx/user/stack in all 34. In 3 of them an error text, a count or a workspace id had been part of the message itself.

Production wiring. deploy/run.sh refuses to deploy without CHIEF_LOG_URL/CHIEF_LOG_TOKEN, and the production env file now has both. Rules and the label list are in docs/implementation/chief-logging.md.

Not deployed. Production still runs loresis:656e936, which doesn't have this code. Production events start after Chief merges and the next deploy. That deploy needs care, because prod has run local merges of open PRs before.
No production events observed yet. I checked from this machine only:

The four Loresis forks are not covered. They have their own repos and env files and need their own tokens.
Early browser errors can be lost. A browser error raised before the page's first API call has no workspace header, so the report is refused (409). It then shows up only as api.request_refused.
Two choices that make some events less precise:

Mail-run progress lines stay stdout-only.
job.source_dashboards still reports aggregated provider read failures as error.

Untested: event volume under real traffic, and how Chief groups these issues.
Untouched: 4 Turbopack warnings in env.ts and wiki/index.ts, files this branch doesn't change.
Chief and the owner: Chief publishes the PR and runs the test gate. I did not merge or deploy.

API failures: only 5xx reached stderr → every failure is a labelled event with route, status, stack and workspace id.
Background, webhook and browser-side failures: UI state or silence → warn/error events in Chief.
Existing error logs: free text with ids and error text in the message → fixed templates with the variable parts in ctx.
Deploy without Chief settings: would start without coverage → run.sh stops before touching the running container, and the app refuses to start.

Token in the env file, not in code. The forks share this code and would otherwise log into this project.
Plain Error sentences are warn, runtime errors (TypeError and similar) are error. The codebase uses plain Error for refusals and provider outages. This keeps provider outages from dispatching fixers. Each throw site is still its own issue through its stack.
Logged where a failure is handled, not where it's thrown. One failure is one event. The exception is the subscription credential, which also logs one root-cause error.
Production refuses to start without the Chief settings. That fails loud, as CLAUDE.md requires, rather than silently losing coverage.

npm test: 317/317 pass. This includes the new test/log.test.ts (8 tests: contract shape, scrubbing, caps, ≤500 per POST, spool on outage/5xx, drain on recovery, 403 drop, spool replay at start, production config, API level rules). One Telegram assertion was updated to the new line format; it still checks that no secrets appear.
tsc --noEmit and eslint src are clean.
npm run build: exit 0, 4 warnings, none in changed files.
Standalone server with NODE_ENV=production:

without the token: "Failed to prepare server … CHIEF_LOG_URL is not set", requests answer 500
with the token: [startup.ready] delivered, no spool file left
