@mkayuri mkayuri commented Feb 3, 2026

Add initialize_tracing() call in init_no_ack_start() to ensure child processes spawned by hydro_deploy emit tracing logs. Previously, only the parent process initialized tracing, causing complete loss of logs from child processes.
Also added test utilities to use skip_tracing_logs() helper.

This is discovered while investigating #1402 but this will not solve #1402 completely.

This should actually be after println("ack start"); in hydro_lang::compile::trybuild::generate around line 290, where

// TODO(mingwei): initialize `tracing` at this point in execution.
