+### Logging
+
+Refresh ships with a built-in structured logger. The level is set via the
+`log_level` config field (`debug | info | warn | error | mute`) and can also be
+controlled at runtime — these are safe to call from any goroutine:
+
+```go
+engine.SetLogLevel("debug") // change verbosity live ("mute" suppresses output)
+engine.DisableLogs()        // mute without losing the configured level
+engine.EnableLogs()         // resume at the previous level
+engine.SetLogger(myLogger)  // supply your own *slog.Logger (still controllable)
+```
+
+`DisableLogs`/`EnableLogs` toggle a single switch shared by the whole logger, so
+re-enabling restores the previously configured level. Subprocess stdout/stderr
+is written straight to the terminal and is not affected by these controls.
+
 ### Config File
 
 If you would prefer to load from a [config](https://github.com/Atterpac/refresh#config-file) file rather than building the structs you can use 
 ```go
 engine.NewEngineFromTOML("path/to/toml")
-engine.SetLogger(//Input slog.Logger)

-### Background Check Callback
-There are instances where you want to wait for the "build" steps for something like vite or a server connection that could take a varying amount
-of time to reach a ready state. Refresh adds `engine.AttachBackgroundCallback()` which will hault the execute commands until the callback returns 
-true (or false for error and shutting down). This could be used along side a ping to the vite port for example to ensure it is reached before 
-running commands that rely on it. This requires 2 things
-
--  A callback function that is `func() bool` and returns true when ready and false when errored or exited 
--  Attaching the callback via `engine.AttachBackgroundCallback()` prior to running `engine.Start()`
