Standardize logging across codebase: levels, prefixes, and wording#429
Conversation
- Replace log alias (log "github.com/sirupsen/logrus") in mlflow package with direct "github.com/sirupsen/logrus" import - Convert all log.Printf/log.Println calls to proper logrus level methods (logrus.Infof, logrus.Debugf, logrus.Errorf, logrus.Warnf) - Add consistent "mlflow:" prefix to all mlflow log messages matching the existing "component: action" pattern used across the backend package - Replace stdlib log.Fatal with logrus.Fatal in cmd/root.go - Remove unused stdlib "log" import from cmd/root.go Co-authored-by: chlins <31262637+chlins@users.noreply.github.com>

[WIP] Refactor logging for consistent and standardized style
Standardize logging to use logrus consistently across the repository
Feb 27, 2026
- Use concise, action-oriented messages (remove verbose "starting...operation" phrasing) - Remove redundant "successfully" from completion messages (success is implied) - Move config/struct dumps (%+v) from Info to Debug level - Move internal operation details (digest calculation, cache hits, metadata) to Debug - Add consistent component prefix to all logs (builder:, codec:, remote:, progress:) - Use natural English phrasing (e.g., "pulling artifact" not "starting pull operation") - Standardize wording patterns across all backend operations Co-authored-by: chlins <31262637+chlins@users.noreply.github.com>
Address code review feedback: completion messages now use natural "verb noun" order (e.g., "pushed artifact" not "artifact pushed") for better readability and consistency with start messages. Co-authored-by: chlins <31262637+chlins@users.noreply.github.com>

Logging was inconsistent across the repository — missing component prefixes, struct dumps at Info level, verbose boilerplate phrasing, and mixed wording styles.
