Capitalize the first letter of all log messages throughout the codebase
to improve readability and consistency in logging output.
Key improvements:
- All log messages now start with capital letters
- Consistent formatting across all logging statements
- Improved readability for debugging and monitoring
- Enhanced user experience with better formatted messages
Files updated:
- CLI commands and service management
- Internal client information discovery
- Network operations and configuration
- DNS resolver and proxy operations
- Platform-specific implementations
This completes the final phase of the logging improvement project,
ensuring all log messages follow consistent capitalization standards
for better readability and professional appearance.
This commit extends the documentation effort by adding detailed explanatory
comments to key CLI components and core functionality throughout the cmd/
directory. The changes focus on explaining WHY certain logic is needed,
not just WHAT the code does, improving code maintainability and helping
developers understand complex business decisions.
Key improvements:
- Main entry points: Document CLI initialization, logging setup, and cache
configuration with reasoning for design decisions
- DNS proxy core: Explain DNS proxy constants, data structures, and core
processing pipeline for handling DNS queries
- Service management: Document service command structure, configuration
patterns, and platform-specific service handling
- Logging infrastructure: Explain log buffer management, level encoders,
and log formatting decisions for different use cases
- Metrics and monitoring: Document Prometheus metrics structure, HTTP
endpoints, and conditional metric collection for performance
- Network handling: Explain Linux-specific network interface filtering,
virtual interface detection, and DNS configuration management
- Hostname validation: Document RFC1123 compliance and DNS naming
standards for system compatibility
- Mobile integration: Explain HTTP retry logic, fallback mechanisms, and
mobile platform integration patterns
- Connection management: Document connection wrapper design to prevent
log pollution during process lifecycle
Technical details:
- Added explanatory comments to 11 additional files in cmd/cli/
- Maintained consistent documentation style and format
- Preserved all existing functionality while improving code clarity
- Enhanced understanding of complex business logic and platform-specific
behavior
These comments help future developers understand the reasoning behind
complex decisions, making the codebase more maintainable and reducing
the risk of incorrect modifications during maintenance.
Replace github.com/rs/zerolog with go.uber.org/zap throughout the codebase
to improve performance and provide better structured logging capabilities.
Key changes:
- Replace zerolog imports with zap and zapcore
- Implement custom Logger wrapper in log.go to maintain zerolog-like API
- Add LogEvent struct with chained methods (Str, Int, Err, Bool, etc.)
- Update all logging calls to use the new zap-based wrapper
- Replace JSON encoders with Console encoders for better readability
Benefits:
- Better performance with zap's optimized logging
- Consistent structured logging across all components
- Maintained zerolog-like API for easy migration
- Proper field context preservation for debugging
- Multi-core logging architecture for better output control
All tests pass and build succeeds.
So using "ctrld stop" or service manager to stop ctrld will end up with
the same result, stopped ctrld with a working DNS, and deactivation pin
code will always have effects if set.
