Adds an operational logging layer separate from the JSONL trace
audit logs. Operational logs cover system events (startup, errors,
MCP transport, research lifecycle); JSONL traces remain the
researcher provenance audit trail.
Backend: structlog with two renderers selectable via
MARCHWARDEN_LOG_FORMAT (json|console). Defaults to console when
stderr is a TTY, json otherwise — so dev runs are human-readable
and shipped runs (containers, automation) emit OpenSearch-ready
JSON without configuration.
Key features:
- Named loggers per component: marchwarden.cli,
marchwarden.mcp, marchwarden.researcher.web
- MARCHWARDEN_LOG_LEVEL controls global level (default INFO)
- MARCHWARDEN_LOG_FILE=1 enables a 10MB-rotating file at
~/.marchwarden/logs/marchwarden.log
- structlog contextvars bind trace_id + researcher at the start
of each research() call so every downstream log line carries
them automatically; cleared on completion
- stdlib logging is funneled through the same pipeline so noisy
third-party loggers (httpx, anthropic) get the same formatting
and quieted to WARN unless DEBUG is requested
- Logs to stderr to keep MCP stdio stdout clean
Wired into:
- cli.main.cli — configures logging on startup, logs ask_started/
ask_completed/ask_failed
- researchers.web.server.main — configures logging on startup,
logs mcp_server_starting
- researchers.web.agent.research — binds trace context, logs
research_started/research_completed
Tests verify JSON and console formats, contextvar propagation,
level filtering, idempotency, and auto-configure-on-first-use.
94/94 tests passing.

Both the MCP server and WebResearcher defaulted to
claude-sonnet-4-5-20250514, which 404s against the Anthropic API.
Update both defaults to claude-sonnet-4-6, which is current as of
2026-04.

FastMCP server exposing a single 'research' tool:
- Delegates to WebResearcher with keys from ~/secrets
- Accepts question, context, depth, max_iterations, token_budget
- Returns full ResearchResult as JSON
- Configurable model via MARCHWARDEN_MODEL env var
- Runnable as: python -m researchers.web
4 tests: secret reading, JSON response validation, default parameters.
