Recording one

Name what happened. The intent sets the level and whether it alerts.

// A background job or script began: a sync, a backup, a migration
log('job.started', 'Redirect sync started', { site: 'main' });

// A job ended, with what it did: counts, duration
log('job.finished', 'Redirects synced', { count: 40, tookMs: 1830 });
