+---
+
+Summary
+- Thread-safe logging crate with global and instance loggers.
+- Minimal-overhead macros, configurable level, and pluggable handlers.
+- Console, file, JSON, and rotating-file handlers included.
+
+Quick Start
+- Global macros:
+  - Add dependency (rename optional): `logging = { package = "lambda-rs-logging", version = "2023.1.30" }`
+  - Use: `logging::info!("hello {}", 123);`
+- Custom global from env:
+  - `logging::env::init_global_from_env().ok(); // honors LAMBDA_LOG`
+- Custom logger:
+  - `let logger = logging::Logger::builder().name("app").level(logging::LogLevel::INFO).with_handler(Box::new(logging::handler::ConsoleHandler::new("app"))).build();`
+
+Core Concepts
+- Level filtering: `TRACE < DEBUG < INFO < WARN < ERROR < FATAL`.
+- Early guard: macros check level before formatting message.
+- Handlers: `Send + Sync` sinks implementing `fn log(&self, record: &Record)`.
+- Record fields: timestamp, level, target(name), message, module/file/line.
+
+Configuration
+- Global init:
+  - Default global created on first use (`TRACE`, console handler).
+  - Override once via `Logger::init(logger)`.
+- Builder:
+  - `Logger::builder().name(..).level(..).with_handler(..).build()`.
+- Environment:
+  - `LAMBDA_LOG=trace|debug|info|warn|error|fatal`.
+  - `logging::env::apply_env_level(&logger, Some("LAMBDA_LOG"));`
+  - `logging::env::init_global_from_env()` creates a console logger and applies env.
+
+Handlers
+- ConsoleHandler
+  - Colors only when stdout/stderr are TTYs.
+  - Writes WARN/ERROR/FATAL to stderr; TRACE/DEBUG/INFO to stdout.
+- FileHandler
+  - Appends colored lines to a file (legacy behavior). Flushes every 10 messages.
+- JsonHandler
+  - Newline-delimited JSON (one object per line). Minimal string escaping.
+  - Use: `with_handler(Box::new(logging::handler::JsonHandler::new("/path/log.jsonl".into())))`.
+- RotatingFileHandler
+  - Rotates when current file exceeds `max_bytes`.
+  - Keeps `backups` files as `file.1`, `file.2`, ...
+  - Use: `RotatingFileHandler::new("/path/app.log".into(), 1_048_576, 3)`.
+
+Macros
+- `trace!/debug!/info!/warn!/error!/fatal!`
+  - Use `$crate` and `format_args!` internally for low overhead when disabled.
+  - Attach module/file/line to records for handler formatting.
+
+Examples (run from repo root)
+- `cargo run -p lambda-rs-logging --example 01_global_macros`
+- `cargo run -p lambda-rs-logging --example 02_custom_logger`
+- `cargo run -p lambda-rs-logging --example 03_global_init`
+- `cargo run -p lambda-rs-logging --example 04_builder_env`
+- `cargo run -p lambda-rs-logging --example 05_json_handler`
+- `cargo run -p lambda-rs-logging --example 06_rotating_file`
+
+Changelog
+- 0.2.0: Added builder, env config, JSON and rotating file handlers; improved console (colors on TTY, WARN+ to stderr); macro early-guard.
+- 0.1.0: Initial spec and thread-safe global with unified handler API.
