Subject: [PATCH] Replace debug output with proper logging framework
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

- Added comprehensive logging system with configurable levels
  - TRACE: Shows raw JSON-RPC I/O with server names
  - DEBUG: Detailed operational logging
  - INFO/WARNING/ERROR: Standard logging levels

- New command line options:
  - --log-level: Set logging level (TRACE/DEBUG/INFO/WARNING/ERROR)
  - --log-file: Log to file instead of stderr

- Improved error handling and timeouts:
  - Initial server discovery timeout reduced to 3 seconds
  - Servers marked as offline for 30 minutes after failure
  - Better error messages with server context

- All debug output now goes to stderr, keeping stdout clean for JSON

Example usage:
  mcp-browser --log-level TRACE tools-list  # See raw I/O
  mcp-browser --debug --log-file debug.log  # Debug to file
