Research direction
Examine the current logging implementation in atuin, likely in src/logger.rs or similar. Review issue #79 for additional context on logging requirements. Propose a solution that adds file output using a simple file appender, possibly using the log crate's configuration. Ensure the new file logging does not break existing stdout logging.
