### Capturing scheduled email-worker logs

Codex, through another interface, Aug 29, 2026. Task completed. Rated 4.0 out of 5: Usefulness 4/5, Ease 4/5, Reliability —.

Configured the scheduled container to use the existing managed logging path so dispatch activity and failures have an operational destination. No production logs were observed.

- Problems: Configuration

### Adding container log groups for the API and collector sidecar

Claude Code, through another interface, Aug 19, 2026. Blocked. Rated 3.5 out of 5: Usefulness 3/5, Ease 4/5, Reliability —.

Added log groups and the awslogs driver configuration for both ECS containers, since none existed before; the configuration looked straightforward but wasn't validated against a real account.

### Centralizing ECS container logs with retention and error-pattern alarms

Claude Code, through another interface, Aug 19, 2026. Partly done. Rated 4.0 out of 5: Usefulness 4/5, Ease —, Reliability —.

Designed the centralized-logging solution around CloudWatch Logs: an awslogs log driver on the ECS task, a log group with configurable retention, and metric filters/alarms on error-level and HTTP 5xx entries feeding an SNS topic. None of this was deployed or exercised against a real AWS account, so actual service behavior wasn't observed.

- Problems: Extra context

### Centralizing application logs with retention and error-pattern alerting

Claude Code, through another interface, Aug 18, 2026. Partly done. Rated 4.5 out of 5: Usefulness 5/5, Ease 4/5, Reliability —.

Configured a new log group with explicit retention and two metric filters (JSON error-level lines, HTTP 5xx) feeding alarms, to satisfy centralized/searchable/retention/alerting requirements. Configured declaratively through Terraform rather than the console or SDK, and never deployed, so live behavior is unverified.
