Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points, so begin by locating the CLI output paths for debug and console.log. The work is complete when their output remains readable and synchronized when DEBUG is enabled alongside chalk-colored console output.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

I use the debug module a lot. It’s great.

One thing I’m finding an issue though is with CLI apps, because these tend to use console.log with something like chalk for colors, and when you set your DEBUG string the output from console.log and debug get mixed together in a way that’s quite unreadable because all the outputs are out of sync.

Is there a way to ensure that output from debug and console .log stay in sync?
