Summary

  • build on fix(cli): restore log output for packed binaries and --log-file #4514’s shared baml_exec::LogOutput; preserve CLI precedence of --log, then BAML_LOG, then info (from merged fix(cli): default baml run and test logging to info #4930)
  • opt native SDK bridge calls into structured BAML log capture and stream enabled log.* events to stderr as [BAML LEVEL] ...
  • share level filtering between the CLI and SDK bridge at the engine capture boundary so suppressed events never consume snapshot or queue capacity
  • preserve SDK log delivery for detached tasks and cancelled async calls across the native CFFI bridge used by Python, TypeScript, Go, and Java

Root cause

The engine only records $baml_log events when a call boundary supplies enabled capture defaults and a TraceCaptureProducer. SDK bridges built their FunctionCallContext without either, so authored BAML log events were discarded before they could reach the host.

Stack and integration

Stack: canary → #4514 (packed/file logging) → #4412 (SDK bridge logging). Merge #4514 first.

The shared baml_exec::LogOutput and native SDK bridges use the engine's TraceLogLevel filter. Capture admits all levels needed by either the terminal or file sink, so --log off --log-file <PATH> still captures every level without terminal output. The filter remains available when building shared execution helpers for WebAssembly. Unset or empty BAML_LOG remains OFF for SDK calls.

Fixes B-1172.

Validation

Validated the combined stack after rebasing onto #4514 and merged #4930:

  • cargo fmt --all -- --check
  • cargo test -p baml_exec -p baml_cli -p bridge_cffi --lib (546 passed)
  • cargo test -p baml_cli --test exit_code_e2e log_ (3 passed)
  • cargo test -p baml_cli --test pack_e2e pack_e2e_baml_log_env_surfaces_filtered_logs -- --exact (passed)
  • cargo check --target wasm32-unknown-unknown -p baml_exec
  • cargo clippy -p baml_exec -p bex_engine -p bridge_cffi --all-targets -- -D warnings

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The bridge captures BAML logs during native SDK calls, filters them by severity, drains them during and after execution, and writes them to stderr. Configuration uses BAML_LOG. WASM keeps no-op behavior. Tests cover parsing, rendering, detached tasks, cancellation, and SDK calls.

Changes

SDK logging

Layer / File(s) Summary
Logging configuration and trace filtering
baml_language/crates/bex_engine/..., baml_language/crates/baml_cli/src/test_command.rs, baml_language/crates/bex_project/src/lib.rs
The engine defines TraceLogLevel and filters events before queueing. The CLI uses the shared filter. Trace types are re-exported publicly.
SDK call capture and delivery
baml_language/crates/bridge_cffi/...
Native call contexts enable log capture. SDK calls drain logs during and after execution, including detached producers. Rendered events use [BAML LEVEL] stderr formatting.
Logging validation
baml_language/crates/bridge_cffi/src/sdk_logs.rs, baml_language/crates/bex_engine/src/value_capture.rs, baml_language/sdk_tests/...
Tests cover parsing, filtering, formatting, returned values, detached-task output, and cancellation. Fixtures emit logs and return 42.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 6d4d8

When BAML_LOG is unset, native SDK calls can currently write BAML logs to stderr by default, which may unexpectedly pollute application output; merge should wait for the opt-in behavior to be corrected. The cancellation test also remains vulnerable to intermittent failures under load.

pull Bot pushed a commit to rpatil524/baml that referenced this pull request Sep 23, 2026
## Summary

- default `baml run` and `baml test` structured logging to `info` when
neither `--log` nor `BAML_LOG` is set
- preserve explicit `--log`/`BAML_LOG` overrides, including `--log off`
- keep debug output filtered at the default threshold and flush visible
logs before results or test reports

## Reproduction

On `canary`, `baml run -e 'log.info("visible"); 7'` and a `baml test`
containing `log.info("visible")` print only their result/report because
both log thresholds default to `off`. This is the visibility half of the
reported failure: a detached agent/stream panic could leave the session
in thinking while the default-off runner exposed no contemporaneous
info-level diagnostics.

After this change, unset `run` and `test` invocations print
info/warn/error lines while filtering debug; `--log off` remains fully
quiet. The independent `Runtime$stream` schema-aligned parsing panic is
intentionally not changed here.

## Pack and bridge overlap

Packed-runtime log delivery is not present on `canary`; open PR BoundaryML#4514
owns that plumbing, so this PR does not duplicate it. BoundaryML#4514 currently
defaults an unset `BAML_LOG` to `off`; the requested packed-runtime
default belongs there once that delivery path lands.

The Rust SDK library loader separately reads `BAML_LOG` once and already
defaults unset or invalid values to `info`. User-authored `log.*`
delivery through native SDK function-call bridges is owned by BoundaryML#4412
(superseding BoundaryML#4345); that proposed bridge path reads `BAML_LOG` per call
and currently treats unset/empty/off as `off`.

## Tests

- `cargo +1.93.0 test --manifest-path baml_language/Cargo.toml -p
baml_cli --lib` (446 passed)
- `cargo +1.93.0 test --manifest-path baml_language/Cargo.toml -p
baml_cli --test exit_code_e2e
test_log_sources_route_filtered_baml_logs_to_stdout_without_changing_exit_codes

- `cargo +1.93.0 fmt --manifest-path baml_language/Cargo.toml --all --

* Use `--log` or the `BAML_LOG` environment variable to adjust the
logging threshold, including disabling logs.

* **Documentation**
* Updated command help and documentation to clarify the default
Info-level logging behavior and available overrides.
