The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit adds a disk-space cap for Electrum's debug log files. It changes how old logs are cleaned up on startup and switches the active log file to a rotating handler so individual files cannot grow without bound. There is no direct security vulnerability being fixed; it is a hardening/operational improvement to prevent logs from filling up the disk.

Recommended action

No urgent action. Treat as routine hardening. Users and packagers may verify that the new default disk usage (up to ~400 MB total: 200 MB old + 200 MB current) is acceptable for their environments.

Security signals we found

01

disk-space exhaustion mitigation

02

log rotation hardening

03

cleanup of stale log files
