Logging (macOS)
Rolling diagnostics file log (Debug pane)
The macOS app routes logs through swift-log, using unified logging by default. It can also write a local, rotating file log when you need a durable capture.- Verbosity: Debug pane → Logs → App logging → Verbosity
- Enable: Debug pane → Logs → App logging → “Write rolling diagnostics log (JSONL)”
- Location:
~/Library/Logs/FasedAgent/diagnostics.jsonl. It rotates automatically; old files are suffixed with.1,.2, and so on. - Clear: Debug pane → Logs → App logging → “Clear”
- This is off by default. Enable only while actively debugging.
- Treat the file as sensitive; don’t share it without review.
Unified logging private data on macOS
Unified logging redacts most payloads unless a subsystem opts intoprivacy -off. This is controlled by a plist in
/Library/Preferences/Logging/Subsystems/ keyed by subsystem name. Only new log
entries pick up the flag, so enable it before reproducing an issue.
Enable for the macOS app (ai.fased)
- Write the plist to a temp file first, then install it atomically as root:
- No reboot is required;
logdnotices the file quickly, but only new log lines include private payloads. - View richer macOS unified-log output with
log showorlog streamfiltered to subsystemai.fased.
Disable after debugging
- Remove the override:
sudo rm /Library/Preferences/Logging/Subsystems/ai.fased.plist. - Optionally run
sudo log config --reloadto forcelogdto drop the override immediately. - This surface can include phone numbers and message bodies. Keep the plist in place only while you actively need the extra detail.
