Pull request overview

Adds a file-based logging destination for the tracking logger in the core logging configuration so tracking events can be written to a dedicated log file in addition to syslog.

Changes:

  • Introduces a new tracking_file handler using logging.handlers.WatchedFileHandler.
  • Updates the tracking logger to emit to both tracking (syslog) and tracking_file (file).
