+# logging
+
+Shared Go library with logging primitives for all Shiny backend services.
+
+## Shared Documentation
+
+@../docs/claude/architecture.md
+@../docs/claude/go-services.md
+@../docs/claude/conventions.md
+
+## Library Information
+
+### Purpose
+
+Single home for the `slog` setup, context-logger helpers, request-logging
+middleware and the `MockLogger` test helper that were previously copied (with
+drift) into every backend service.
+
+### Usage
+
+```go
+import (
+    "gitea.unbound.se/shiny/logging"
+    logmw "gitea.unbound.se/shiny/logging/middleware"
+)
+
+// Configure the slog default logger (format: text | json | otel).
+logger := logging.SetupLogger(cli.LogLevel, cli.LogFormat, serviceName, buildVersion)
+
+// Carry a logger on the request context.
+ctx = logging.ContextWithLogger(ctx, logger)
+logger = logging.LoggerFromContext(ctx)
+
+// Debug-log request/response bodies.
+handler = logmw.RequestLogger(logger)(handler)
+```
+
+In tests:
+
+```go
+m := logging.NewMockLogger()
+// ... exercise code with m.Logger() ...
+m.Check(t, []string{"level=INFO msg=\"...\""})
+```
+
+### Exported API
+
+- `SetupLogger(logLevel, logFormat, serviceName, buildVersion string) *slog.Logger`
+- `ContextWithLogger(ctx, *slog.Logger) context.Context` / `LoggerFromContext(ctx) *slog.Logger`
+- `Logger` interface; `NewMockLogger() *MockLogger` (+ `MockLogger.Logger()`, `MockLogger.Check(t, want)`).
+- `logging/middleware.RequestLogger(logger) func(http.Handler) http.Handler`.
+
+### Notes
+
+- `MockLogger` currently lives in the main package, so `testify` is a non-test
+  dependency of the module. Moving it to a `logging/logtest` sub-package is a
+  tracked low-priority follow-up — it's a breaking import change for the ~13
+  services that reference `logging.NewMockLogger`, so it is deferred until a
+  coordinated bump (Ambix 019ecabc).
+
+### Conventions
+
+Standard Shiny library scaffolding: `gofumpt`/`goimports -local`, golangci-lint,
+gitleaks and conventional-commit checks via pre-commit; coverage-regression gate
+in CI (`.testcoverage.yml`); releases auto-tagged from conventional commits by
+the shared Release workflow. Bump the consuming services' `go.mod` after a
+release.
