Description
Adds a default rotating log file so users automatically get persisted logs while still seeing real-time terminal output. Also documents the new log directory and environment overrides. Solves the problem reported in Discord where users couldn’t find logs without manually redirecting stdout.
Key Changes
Extend logging_config to create a rotating file handler in logs/parallax.log, configurable via env vars.
Keep stdout logging so existing UX stays intact.
Document default log location and overrides in README.md.
