🗓️ Dev Log 044 – What We Did¶

1. Refactored Signer, Previewer, and Certifier Metadata Flow
2. Rewrote how signer data is extracted, validated, and logged.
3. Now clearly scoped per role [previewer, certifier, compiled by], preventing mixed metadata confusion.

4. Painful edge cases: missing key versions, ambiguous file links, circular checks.

5. Updated paddedLog and paddedSub Utilities

6. Introduced verticalSpace() for margin clarity.
7. Realigned label/value layout for cleaner scanning.

8. Added support for custom hex-based colors.

9. Preserved Compatibility While Extending Logs

10. Legacy log levels (info, warn, success, error) are untouched.
11. New colors are additive and opt-in, avoiding breakage.

🧠 Why It Matters¶

The CLI is our audit trail. With clear role separation and color-coded context, agent lifecycle actions are easier to trace — both for humans and (soon) for MCP-compliant agent inspectors.

This was not a glam refactor. It was a necessary one.
