Research direction
The issue requests adding a timestamp to log output. The current output format is 'main.js > Log'. To implement, locate the main logging function (likely in index.js). Insert a timestamp (e.g., from Date or a library) before the source file indicator. Ensure the timestamp format is concise, e.g., HH:MM:SS. Consider if dependencies like moment.js are acceptable or if native Date is sufficient. Check existing tests to confirm the change.
