Replace env_logger file-based logging with systemd-journal-logger for consistency with moonlock and native journalctl integration. Add debug-level logging at all decision points: config loading, user/session detection, avatar resolution, locale detection, IPC messages, login flow, and persistence. No credentials are ever logged.
