Debug Console

/housing_console opens a three-lane debug console for diagnosing live issues without restarting the resource.

The debug console is disabled by default. Enable it in main config only on test servers - it exposes internal log streams to anyone allowed to open it.

🔌 Enable

Config.DebugConsole = {
    Enabled           = false,
    AllowedIdentifiers = {
        -- 'license:...',
    },
    FlushIntervalMs = 100,
    BatchSize       = 25,
    RingBufferSize  = 2000,
}

Option	Description
Enabled	Master switch.
AllowedIdentifiers	License/Steam identifiers allowed to open the console. Empty list = ACE housing.debug only.
FlushIntervalMs	How often (ms) the server flushes new log entries to clients.
BatchSize	Max log entries per network batch.
RingBufferSize	Max in-memory ring-buffer entries per lane.

🧪 React / NUI Logging

Config.DebugFrontend = true turns on structured logging from the React UI - button clicks, fetchNui calls, action handlers. Use this when chasing "the button does nothing" reports without rebuilding the JS bundle.

🧰 Lanes

The console shows three independent log lanes:

Lane	Purpose
Server	Server-side debug streams.
Client	Client-side debug streams (current player).
NUI	React/NUI debug streams from Config.DebugFrontend.

Each lane has its own filter, pause, and ring buffer.

🔑 ACE Permission

Add this line to your ACE config to grant console access by group:

add_ace group.admin housing.debug allow

Players with housing.debug can open the console even when they're not in AllowedIdentifiers.
