Different parts of the codebase use different logging approaches (print statements, logging module, discord.py logging), making debugging difficult.

Where It Occurs

print() statements scattered throughout
Some files use logging.info/warning/error
No consistent log format
Missing logs in critical code paths

Why This Is a Problem

Debugging: Cannot search logs consistently
Observability: No unified log format for parsing
Production: Cannot easily aggregate logs
Monitoring: Cannot set up log-based alerts

What Can Go Wrong

Scenario 1: Debugging Voice Issues

User reports bot not playing audio
Developer searches logs for voice errors
Some errors logged via print() (not in log file)
Some via logging.info() (wrong severity)
Developer cannot find relevant log entries

Scenario 2: Production Incident

Bot crashes in production
Team tries to find root cause in logs
Logs are inconsistent: some timestamps, some not
Cannot correlate events across components
Incident takes 2 hours to resolve instead of 15 minutes

Proposed Fix

Standardize on logging module with structured logging (JSON format for production).

Severity

MEDIUM - Inconsistent logging hinders debugging and monitoring.

Files Affected

All Python files in bot/
