The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit is mostly a cleanup of how logging is set up on the device. It moves where the event loop is created, makes some log functions disappear when logging is completely disabled, and changes one error message to a less alarming one. The visible changes do not appear to fix a clear security bug, but they do remove a few rough edges that could make the device behave unexpectedly during boot or when logging is configured in unusual ways.

Recommended action

Treat as a routine maintenance/hardening commit. Reviewers should verify that moving event-loop creation earlier in boot does not change ordering assumptions for other subsystems, and that the CONFIG_LOG_DEFAULT_LEVEL_NONE guards do not hide legitimate runtime log-level changes needed by downstream code.

Security signals we found

01

Conditional compilation of logging functions to prevent use when logging is disabled

02

Centralized event-loop creation to avoid duplicate initialization

03

Changed duplicate event-loop creation from error to benign idempotent return

04

Renamed saved log-level variable for clarity in USB mass-storage path

05

Added comment linking disabled logging to OTA update stability
