Research direction

Start by tracing the existing CLI debug logging option and the config loader's from_config() path. Identify how logging settings are represented and applied, then retain the CLI behavior while accepting debug from the config file. Done when a config containing debug changes the logging level and the existing CLI flag still works.

Description

enhancement

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Following on from #282 - we can now set the LabThings logging level for debug using the cli. As @rwb27 notes, in the future it may make sense to put debug into the config file as well as having it in cli.

Describe the solution you'd like
Add debug to config file options, using 'from_config()'

Describe alternatives you've considered
We currrently have a cli flag. This would be retained in addition to adding debug in the config file.
