🧹 Console Log Cleanup

[bwl21]

Problem Description

The codebase contains numerous console.log statements (36 total) that were added during development and debugging phases. These should be cleaned up for production readiness.

Current State

$ grep -r "console.log" src/ --include="*.ts" --include="*.vue" | wc -l
36

Types of Console Logs Found

1. Debug Functions (App.vue)

• window.debug.permissions() - Permission debugging
• window.debug.testModule() - Module testing
• window.debug.proxyAnalysis() - Object analysis
• window.debug.testApiEndpoints() - API testing

2. Development Helpers

• Permission loading states
• Module access testing
• API response analysis
• Object structure inspection

3. Error Logging

• Some legitimate error logs that should remain

Impact

• Development: Useful for debugging
• Production: Clutters browser console
• Performance: Minimal impact but unnecessary overhead
• Security: May expose internal state information

Cleanup Strategy

Option 1: Complete Removal

• Remove all console.log statements
• Keep only console.error for legitimate errors
• Cleanest production code

Option 2: Conditional Logging

// Only log in development
if (import.meta.env.MODE === 'development') {
  console.log('Debug info:', data)
}

Option 3: Selective Cleanup

• Keep useful debug functions for development
• Remove verbose logging
• Maintain error logging

Recommended Approach

Phase 1: Immediate Cleanup

• Remove verbose debug logs from permission system
• Remove object inspection logs
• Keep error logs and debug functions

Phase 2: Conditional Logging

• Wrap remaining logs in development checks
• Create proper logging utility if needed

Phase 3: Production Optimization

• Ensure no logs in production builds
• Consider proper logging framework if extensive logging needed

Files Affected

Primary locations:

• src/App.vue - Debug functions and testing helpers
• src/services/permissions.ts - Already cleaned
• src/composables/usePermissions.ts - Already cleaned
• src/main.ts - Already cleaned

Priority

Low-Medium Priority

• Not blocking functionality
• Improves code quality
• Better production readiness
• Can be done incrementally
