// Package hlog provides a structured logging solution built on top of zerolog.
//
// hlog supports multiple output modes (console, file, or both), configurable
// log levels, and automatic log file management. It is designed to be simple
// to configure via environment variables while remaining flexible for
// programmatic configuration.
//
// # Basic Usage
//
// Create a logger with environment-based configuration:
//
// cfg, err := hlog.ConfigFromEnv()
// if err != nil {
// log.Fatal(err)
// }
//
// logger, err := hlog.NewLogger(cfg, os.Stdout)
// if err != nil {
// log.Fatal(err)
// }
// defer logger.CloseLogFile()
//
// logger.Info().Msg("Application started")
//
// # Configuration
//
// hlog can be configured via environment variables:
//
// LOG_LEVEL=info # trace, debug, info, warn, error, fatal, panic (default: info)
// LOG_OUTPUT=console # console, file, or both (default: console)
// LOG_DIR=/var/log/app # Required when LOG_OUTPUT is "file" or "both"
//
// Or programmatically:
//
// cfg := &hlog.Config{
// LogLevel: hlog.InfoLevel,
// LogOutput: "both",
// LogDir: "/var/log/myapp",
// }
//
// # Log Levels
//
// hlog supports the following log levels (from most to least verbose):
// - trace: Very detailed debugging information
// - debug: Detailed debugging information
// - info: General informational messages
// - warn: Warning messages for potentially harmful situations
// - error: Error messages for error events
// - fatal: Fatal messages that will exit the application
// - panic: Panic messages that will panic the application
//
// # Output Modes
//
// - console: Logs to the provided io.Writer (typically os.Stdout or os.Stderr)
// - file: Logs to a file named "server.log" in the configured directory
// - both: Logs to both console and file simultaneously
//
// # File Management
//
// When using file output, hlog creates a file named "server.log" in the
// specified directory. The file is opened in append mode, so logs persist
// across application restarts. Remember to call CloseLogFile() when shutting
// down your application to ensure all logs are flushed.
