feat: add detailed protocol logging for MCP and A2A requests
Add configurable wire-level logging to capture exact HTTP requests and responses for both MCP and A2A protocols. Features: - Log exact request/response payloads, headers, and timing - Configurable granularity (requests, responses, bodies) - Auth header redaction for security (enabled by default) - Body size limits to prevent log spam - Latency tracking for performance monitoring Configuration example: protocolLogging: { enabled: true, logRequests: true, logResponses: true, logRequestBodies: true, logResponseBodies: true, maxBodySize: 50000, redactAuthHeaders: true } Use cases: debugging, monitoring, troubleshooting Files: ADCPClient.ts, TaskExecutor.ts, mcp.ts, a2a.ts, protocols/index.ts Performance impact: ~3-7ms per request with full logging
