New Logging Mode

Feature Proposal for MUD Client: New Logging Mode

Feature Description:
Introduce a logging mode that captures:
1. All text presented to the user in the final display form (after all processing, excluding GMCP or structured data).
2. All user-entered commands, recorded as plain text after alias expansion or input transformation.

Benefits:
– Produces clean, readable logs focused on actual gameplay interaction.
– Useful for reviewing sessions, debugging, or creating datasets for AI training.
– Filters out non-human-readable content such as GMCP, ANSI codes, and internal events.

Isn't this already covered by the #log command?

Expanding aliases would have little added value and could get rather bulky with complex aliases. Perhaps a mode that would echo all commands as sent to the mud would be useful, but might be tricky to implement. I'll add that to my todo list to look into.

I’ve experimented with log_level low|high combined with log_mode plain|raw, but the logs often include sequences like ÿùÿûñ�[O�[I�[A... or raw GMCP messages like:

ÿúÉroom.info {"map":{"x":87,"y":34,"name":"Kraina Zgromadzenia",...}}ÿð

It also logs output generated by my own scripts, which is exactly what I’d like to avoid. The goal is to log only what a human user actually sees and enters — clean text without protocol or script noise.
