+@page logging Logging
+
+Cockatrice uses QtLogging from the QtCore module for its logging. See
+the [official documentation](https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/qtlogging.html) for further details.
+
+# Log Message Pattern
+
+Any message logged through the QtLogging system automatically conforms to this message pattern:
+
+Generic:
+
+```
+[<timestamp> <log_level>] [<class:function>] - <message> [<filename>:<line_no>]
+```
+
+Example:
+
+```
+[2025-12-05 14:48:25.908 I] [MainWindow::startupConfigCheck] - Startup: found config with current version [window_main.cpp:951]
+```
+
+For more information, see [Logging Setup](#logging-setup).
+
+# Log Level and Categories
+
+\note The default log level for the application is info.
+
+This means that you should only use qInfo() in production-level code if you are truly sure that this message is
+beneficial to end-users and other developers. As a general rule, if your functionality logs to info more than twice in
+response to a user interaction, you are advised to consider moving some of these logs down to the debug level.
+
+\warning You are strongly advised to avoid the use of the generic logging macros (e.g. qDebug(), qInfo(), qWarn()).
+
+\note You should instead use the corresponding category logging macros (qCDebug(), qCInfo(), qCWarn()) and define
+logging
+categories for your log statements.
+
+Example:
+
+```c++
+in .h
+
+inline Q_LOGGING_CATEGORY(ExampleCategory, "cockatrice_example_category");
+inline Q_LOGGING_CATEGORY(ExampleSubCategory, "cockatrice_example_category.sub_category");
+
+in .cpp
+
+qCInfo(ExampleCategory) << "Info level logs are usually sent through the main category"
+qCDebug(ExampleSubCategory) << "Debug level logs are permitted their own category to allow selective silencing"
+```
+
+For more information on how to enable or disable logging categories,
+see [Logging Configuration](#logging-configuration).
+
+# Logging Configuration
+
+For configuring our logging, we use the qtlogging.ini, located under cockatrice/resources/config/qtlogging.ini, which is
+baked into the application in release version and set as the QT_LOGGING_CONF environment variable in main.cpp.
+
+```c++
+#ifdef Q_OS_APPLE
+    // <build>/cockatrice/cockatrice.app/Contents/MacOS/cockatrice
+    const QByteArray configPath = "../../../qtlogging.ini";
+#elif defined(Q_OS_UNIX)
+    // <build>/cockatrice/cockatrice
+    const QByteArray configPath = "./qtlogging.ini";
+#elif defined(Q_OS_WIN)
+    // <build>/cockatrice/Debug/cockatrice.exe
+    const QByteArray configPath = "../qtlogging.ini";
+#else
+    const QByteArray configPath = "";
+#endif
+
+    if (!qEnvironmentVariableIsSet(("QT_LOGGING_CONF"))) {
+        // Set the QT_LOGGING_CONF environment variable
+        qputenv("QT_LOGGING_CONF", configPath);
+    }
+```
+
+For more information on how to use this file and on how Qt evaluates which logging rules/file to use, please
+see the [official Qt documentation](https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/qloggingcategory.html#configuring-categories).
+
+Some examples:
+
+```
+# Turn off all logging except everything from card_picture_loader and all sub categories
+
+[Rules]
+# The default log level is info
+*.debug = false
+*.info = false
+*.warning = false
+*.critical = false
+*.fatal = false
+
+card_picture_loader.* = true
+```
+
+```
+# Turn off all logging except info level logs from card_picture_loader and all sub categories
+
+[Rules]
+# The default log level is info
+*.debug = false
+*.info = false
+*.warning = false
+*.critical = false
+*.fatal = false
+
+card_picture_loader.*.info = true
+```
+
+```
+[Rules]
+# Turn on debug level logs for card_picture_loader but keep logging for sub categories suppressed
+*.debug = false
+
+card_picture_loader.debug = true
+```
+
+```
+[Rules]
+# Turn on all logs for worker subcategory of card_picture_loader
+*.debug = false
+
+card_picture_loader.worker = true
+```
+
+```
+[Rules]
+# Turn off some noisy and irrelevant startup logging for local development
+*.debug = false
+
+qt_translator = false
+window_main.* = false
+release_channel = false
+spoiler_background_updater = false
+theme_manager = false
+sound_engine = false
+tapped_out_interface = false
+card_database = false
+card_database.loading = false
+card_database.loading.success_or_failure = true
+cockatrice_xml.* = false
+```
+
+# Logging Setup
+
+This is achieved through our logging setup in @ref main.cpp, where we set the message pattern and install a custom
+logger which replaces the full file path at the end with just the file name (Qt shows the full and quite lengthy path by
+default).
+
+```c++
+    qSetMessagePattern(
+        "\033[0m[%{time yyyy-MM-dd h:mm:ss.zzz} "
+        "%{if-debug}\033[36mD%{endif}%{if-info}\033[32mI%{endif}%{if-warning}\033[33mW%{endif}%{if-critical}\033[31mC%{"
+        "endif}%{if-fatal}\033[1;31mF%{endif}\033[0m] [%{function}] - %{message} [%{file}:%{line}]");
+    QApplication app(argc, argv);
+
+    QObject::connect(&app, &QApplication::lastWindowClosed, &app, &QApplication::quit);
+
+    qInstallMessageHandler(CockatriceLogger);
+```
+
+```c++
+static void CockatriceLogger(QtMsgType type, const QMessageLogContext &ctx, const QString &message)
+{
+    QString logMessage = qFormatLogMessage(type, ctx, message);
+
+    // Regular expression to match the full path in the square brackets and extract only the filename and line number
+    QRegularExpression regex(R"(\[(?:.:)?[\/\\].*[\/\\]([^\/\\]+\:\d+)\])");
+    QRegularExpressionMatch match = regex.match(logMessage);
+
+    if (match.hasMatch()) {
+        // Extract the filename and line number (e.g., "main.cpp:211")
+        QString filenameLine = match.captured(1);
+
+        // Replace the full path in square brackets with just the filename and line number
+        logMessage.replace(match.captured(0), QString("[%1]").arg(filenameLine));
+    }
+
+    Logger::getInstance().log(type, ctx, logMessage);
+}
+```
