Hydra Log
=========

[](#hydra-log)

A minimal PSR-3 logger that writes one plain-text line per record to a writable stream. No handlers, no processors, no formatters config — Hydra's logging is a single deliberate class, the data-layer-style "ship the verb" of logging.

How it works
------------

[](#how-it-works)

`StreamLogger` is constructed with an already-open, writable stream — a file handle, `php://stderr`, `php://memory` in tests. **Sink selection is the caller's concern**: the class only formats and writes. The app's service provider is what opens `LOG_PATH` (falling back to stderr when the path is unwritable) and hands the stream in.

```
use Hydra\Log\StreamLogger;

$logger = new StreamLogger(fopen('php://stderr', 'w'));
$logger->info('request handled', ['method' => 'GET', 'status' => 200]);
// [2026-06-20T01:44:06+00:00] INFO: request handled {"method":"GET","status":200}
```

Each record renders as `[ISO-8601] LEVEL: message `:

- **Placeholders** — `{key}` tokens are interpolated from context per PSR-3. Substitution is keyed on value *type*, not truthiness, so `0`, `''` and `false` render rather than vanish. A placeholder with no usable value is left intact.
- **Leftover context** is appended as JSON. A `Throwable` under the conventional `exception` key is rendered as a readable class/message/file/line + trace instead.

Failures never escalate
-----------------------

[](#failures-never-escalate)

A broken sink (closed stream, full disk) must not take the application down with it: the write is `@fwrite` and guarded by `is_resource`. Logging is best-effort by design.

What it deliberately is not
---------------------------

[](#what-it-deliberately-is-not)

No log rotation, no level filtering, no multiple sinks. Those are the app's job if it ever needs them — bind a different `Psr\Log\LoggerInterface` implementation (Monolog, a fan-out logger) in the service provider and every consumer follows, because consumers depend on the PSR-3 interface, never on this class.
