LogTape 1.1.0: Smarter buffering, seamless integration

洪 民憙 (Hong Minhee) @hongminhee@hackers.pub
LogTape 1.1.0 introduces smarter and more flexible logging with two major features. The first is "fingers crossed" logging, which buffers debug and low-level logs in memory and only outputs them when an error occurs, providing a complete sequence of events leading up to the problem. Category isolation prevents one component's errors from flushing unrelated logs, keeping logs focused and relevant. The second feature is direct log emission via the `Logger.emit()` method, which allows feeding logs from external systems like Kafka directly into LogTape while preserving original timestamps and metadata. This release also includes bug fixes and improvements across the ecosystem, such as fixes for potential data loss during high-volume logging and improved cross-runtime compatibility. Upgrading to 1.1.0 is backward-compatible and enhances debugging in production by providing complete context for every error without constant verbose logging.
