Subject: [PATCH] OPTIMIZE: Add comprehensive --log flag support for file-based
 logging
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Implemented 1 major optimization:

✅ OPTIMIZATION 12: File Logging Support with --log Flag
   - Added --log flag for automatic logging to file
   - Supports two formats:
     * --log (auto-generates: /tmp/wordpress-cron-manager-TIMESTAMP.log)
     * --log=/path/to/file (logs to specific file)
   - Integrates with existing LOG_ENABLED and LOG_FILE variables
   - File writable check prevents errors
   - Foundation for comprehensive operation tracking
   - Benefit: Enable production auditing and troubleshooting

Features Added:
- CLI: $ ./script --log (auto log file)
- CLI: $ ./script --log=/var/log/wp-cron.log (custom path)
- CLI: $ ./script --help (updated with new options)
- Error handling: Validates log file is writable before proceeding

Code Changes:
- Enhanced flag parsing with case statement improvements
- Added log file path validation
- Improved help message with examples
- Script size: 1952 → 1981 lines (+29 additions)

Logging Architecture:
- log_enabled flag controls file writes
- log_file variable stores path
- log_message() function handles both console and file output
- Foundation ready for integration into options 1-8

Example Usage:
$ ./wordpress-cron-manager.sh --dry-run --parallel --log
$ ./wordpress-cron-manager.sh --log=/var/log/wp-conversions.log --parallel
$ tail -f /tmp/wordpress-cron-manager-*.log (monitor conversion)

Next Steps for Logging Integration:
- Replace print_error calls with log_error where appropriate
- Add log_success/log_info calls to option output
- Track conversion metrics for each site
- Enable audit trail for regulatory compliance
