fix(logging): reattach game chat and error telemetry appenders after logback resets - #1956
Conversation
…logback resets MicrobotPlugin attached GameChatAppender and ScriptErrorReporter to the root logger directly. A LoggerContext reset (logback.xml scan=true reconfiguration) detaches and stops every root appender, so game-chat logging and error telemetry silently stopped for the rest of the session. Plugin shutdown also left the stopped GameChatAppender attached. ResetResistantAttachment is a reset-resistant LoggerContextListener that attaches an appender to the root logger, restarts and reattaches it after every reset (exactly once, addAppender is idempotent), detaches it when the context stops, and on remove() drops the listener, detaches and stops the appender. ConsoleLogAppender, GameChatAppender and ScriptErrorReporter all install through it; MicrobotPlugin removes both attachments on shutdown. GameChatAppender only restarts when game chat logging is enabled, and ScriptErrorReporter.start() is idempotent so the flush task is never scheduled twice. ConsoleLogAppender now gives up rebinding STDOUT after 1000 log events following a reset, instead of scanning the logger list on every line forever when the new configuration has no STDOUT appender.

Coordinate removal with reset before detaching the appender.
If plugin shutdown overlaps a Logback reset, removeListener(this) can modify the listener list while Logback iterates it. The reset can then throw ConcurrentModificationException after it has stopped the root appenders. A reset callback can also pass the removed check before removal and reattach the appender afterward. Coordinate these lifecycle operations so removal cannot interrupt listener iteration or leave an appender attached after shutdown. Logback 1.2.9 uses a mutable ArrayList for these callbacks.

Problem
Follow-up from the #1955 review.
MicrobotPlugin.startUpattachedGameChatAppenderandScriptErrorReporterto the root logger directly. ALoggerContext.reset()(thescan="true"reconfiguration inlogback.xml, which reloads in dev runs from an exploded classpath) callsroot.recursiveReset(), which detaches and stops every root appender. Nothing put these two back, so game-chat logging and error telemetry silently stopped for the rest of the session.Two smaller issues in the same code:
shutDownonly stoppedGameChatAppenderand never detached it, so every plugin restart left another stopped appender on the root logger.ConsoleLogAppender.appendkeptrebindPendingset until it found a STDOUTConsoleAppender. If a reconfiguration had no STDOUT appender, every later log line calledcontext.getLoggerList()(which copies and sorts all loggers) for the rest of the session.Change
net.runelite.client.util.ResetResistantAttachment: a reset-resistantLoggerContextListenerthat holds one appender. It is the fix(ui): keep sidebar state and console logging across close and logback resets #1955 pattern, pulled out ofConsoleLogAppenderso all three appenders share it.attach(context, appender, onReset)registers the listener and adds the appender to root.onResetto restart the appender, then re-adds it.Logger.addAppenderis add-if-absent, so the appender is attached exactly once. IfonResetthrows, the error goes to the logback status manager, the appender is still re-added, and the other listeners still run.remove()removes the listener, detaches the appender and stops it, so plugin restarts do not leak listeners.ConsoleLogAppenderno longer implementsLoggerContextListeneritself. It installs through the helper, anduninstall()callsremove().GameChatAppender.install(context, enabled)andScriptErrorReporter.install(context)own their wiring.MicrobotPlugincalls them instartUpand callsremove()on both attachments when the plugin stops.GameChatAppenderrestarts only when game chat logging is enabled, as before.ScriptErrorReporter.start()now returns early when the reporter is already started, so the 5-minute flush task can never be scheduled twice.ConsoleLogAppendertries to rebind on at mostMAX_REBIND_ATTEMPTS = 1000log events, then stops looking. A successful rebind ends the search right away, as before.Telemetry gating is unchanged.
