Contributions summary:Nicolas primarily focused on improving the logging system, replacing print statements with a structured logging approach using a logging library. They refactored the code, moving logger initialization and configuration into a separate file and implemented JSON and Logfmt formatters. This involved modifying multiple files (src/resources.py, src/sidecar.py, src/helpers.py, src/logger.py) to integrate the new logging functionality and ensure consistent logging practices across the project. The user also updated the scripts to utilize the new logger.
