feat(logging): improve spacing and colors

[paul-nechifor]

Problem

The gaps in the logs can be a bit annoying. Before:

Solution

• Make the file length fixed size (trim from the left).
• Give the fixed fields a black background so they stand out.
• Make the regular text blue so it stands out compared to prints which should only be used for debugging and not be left in the code

Now:

Greptile Summary

Replaces structlog's ConsoleRenderer with a custom _compact_console_processor that formats logs with fixed-width fields, improved color coding, and better visual separation. The new formatter:

• Fixed-width file path (30 chars, left-truncated) for aligned columns
• Black backgrounds on fixed fields (timestamp, level, file) to improve readability
• Blue text for event messages to distinguish from debug prints
• Color-coded log levels and key-value pairs
• Fallback to non-colored output when not in a TTY

No functional changes to logging behavior, only presentation improvements.

Confidence Score: 5/5

• Safe to merge - cosmetic logging improvements with no functional changes
• The changes are well-contained and purely cosmetic. The new custom processor maintains the same functionality as the old ConsoleRenderer while improving visual presentation. Color codes are standard ANSI escape sequences, TTY detection is proper, and the non-colored fallback ensures compatibility.
• No files require special attention
