Description

I would like to be able to log within a route, like in the example below:

{
    layer4 {
        :443 {
            @example tls sni example.com
            route @example {
                proxy example.com:443
            }
            @example2 tls sni example2.com
            route @example2 {
                log {
                    level DEBUG
                    format ...
                }
                proxy example2.com:443
            }
        }
    }
}

I'm currently doing this logging within the global options block, but that applies it to all routes, making it unnecessarily excessive.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Study existing handler implementations in the codebase (e.g., proxy, route) and add a new 'log' handler that accepts configuration like level and format. Ensure it can be used within route blocks.
