This is a curated English edition of a public TabNews article originally published on 2026-06-23. It preserves the public argument and editorial intent while avoiding private operational details and unsupported new claims.

## Core idea

The post turns a small operational symptom into a useful engineering lesson: logs are not free. TRACE-level output can become continuous disk activity, especially when agents and watchers run for long periods.

The migration preserves the practical warning: observability should be proportional to the task, and local automation needs defaults that do not punish the machine.

## Editorial note

This translation was prepared during the governed migration of public TabNews posts into the GitHub Pages hub. Technical, security, legal, model, and market references can age quickly; verify current sources before using the article as operational guidance.
