+Each log file is named using the format `YYYY-MM-DD-HH.log` and contains entries in the following format:
 
-- time is expressed in '1980-07-11 21:23:42' == time_to_test.format_ss()
-- if cat has '-' inside it will be converted to '_'
-- $cat max 10 chars, and always takes the 10 chars so that the logs are nicely formatted
-- the first char is ' ' or 'E' , E means its the logtype error

+### Format Rules
+
+- Time stamps (HH:MM:SS) are written once per second when the log time changes
+- Categories are:
+  - Limited to 10 characters maximum
+  - Padded with spaces to exactly 10 characters
+  - Any `-` in category names are converted to `_`
+- Each line starts with either:
+  - ` ` (space) for normal logs (LogType.stdout)
+  - `E` for error logs (LogType.error)
+- Multi-line messages maintain consistent indentation (14 spaces after the prefix)
