(new): JSON HTML escaping control

- add Formatter.JSONEscapeHTML and SetJSONEscapeHTML to let JSON writers preserve HTML-sensitive characters when needed while keeping escaping enabled by default.
- switch JSON output to json.Encoder, preserve existing Print/Println newline semantics, and cover the new escaping behavior in tests.

-# ScuroLogger (slog)
+# SNekLog (ScuroNeko Logger)
 
+Small structured logger for Go with text and JSON output, multiple writers, and optional traceback metadata.
+
+Russian version: [README_ru.md](README_ru.md)
+
+## Features
+
+- Fan out the same record to multiple destinations.
+- Text and JSON writers.
+- `stdout`, files, and arbitrary external `io.Writer` values.
+- Optional timestamps for text output.
+- Compact traceback metadata for text writers and full traceback slices for JSON.
+- Message replacement for masking secrets or normalizing output.
+- Explicit ownership rules for writer closing.
+
+## Installation
+
+```bash
+go get git.scuroneko.dev/scuroneko/sneklog/v2
+```
+
+## Quick start
+
+```go
+package main
+
+import (
+	"log"
+
+	"git.scuroneko.dev/scuroneko/sneklog/v2"
+)
+
+func main() {
+	logger := sneklog.NewLogger().
+		SetName("API").
+		SetLevel(sneklog.DEBUG).
+		AddReplacer("SOME_SECRET", "<redacted>")
+
+	text := logger.CreateTextStdoutWriter()
+	jsonFile, err := logger.CreateJsonFileWriter("logs/app.json")
+	if err != nil {
+		log.Fatal(err)
+	}
+
+	logger.AddWriters(text, jsonFile)
+
+	logger.Infoln("service started")
+	logger.Warnln("cache miss")
+	logger.Errorln("request failed")
+	logger.Debugln("debug details")
+	logger.Infoln("token", "SOME_SECRET")
+
+	if err := logger.Close(); err != nil {
+		log.Fatal(err)
+	}
+}
+```
+
+## Defaults
+
+`NewLogger()` starts with:
+
+- `Prefix("LOG")`
+- `Level(sneklog.FATAL)`
+- `JsonPretty(false)`
+- text formatter: `sneklog.DefaultTextFormatter`
+- JSON formatter: `sneklog.DefaultJsonFormatter`
+
+`CreateLogger()` is still available for backward compatibility.
+
+Important: with the current level ordering, `Level(sneklog.FATAL)` allows `INFO`, `WARN`, `ERROR`, and `FATAL`, but not `DEBUG`. Use `Level(sneklog.DEBUG)` to enable every level.
+
+If you want classic threshold filtering instead, call `SetThresholdMode(true)` and
+configure levels with `NewThresholdLogLevel(...)` or
+`NewThresholdLogLevelWithColors(...)`.
+
+## Writers and ownership
+
+`Logger.Close()` only closes writers created by the logger itself:
+
+- `CreateTextFileWriter(...)`
+- `CreateJsonFileWriter(...)`
+
+The following writers remain owned by the caller and are not closed by `Logger.Close()`:
+
+- `CreateTextWriter(existingWriter)`
+- `CreateJsonWriter(existingWriter)`
+- `CreateTextStdoutWriter()`
+- `CreateJsonStdoutWriter()`
+
+This makes it safe to plug in `bytes.Buffer`, network writers, and other externally managed resources.
+
+## Output formats
+
+Text writers render records like:
+
+```text
+2026-03-17T14:05:09+03:00 info API: service started
+```
+
+Use `SetFormatter` on a writer to customize timestamps, traceback fields, colors, and message layout.
+
+JSON writers emit objects with this shape:
+
+```json
+{
+  "time": "2026-03-17T14:05:09.123456789+03:00",
+  "level": "info",
+  "prefix": "API",
+  "message": "service started",
+  "traceback": [
+    {
+      "method": "main",
+      "filename": "main.go",
+      "line": 27,
+      "signature": "main.main",
+      "fullPath": "/path/to/main.go"
+    }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+When `JsonPretty(true)` is enabled, JSON is indented.
+
+## Custom levels and colors
+
+You can define your own levels and assign ANSI, 256-color, or RGB colors, plus text attributes such as `Bold` or `Italic`.
+
+```go
+httpDelete := sneklog.NewLogLevel(0, "delete")
+httpDelete.SetBackgroundRGB(128, 0, 0)
+httpDelete.AddAttribute(sneklog.Italic).AddAttribute(sneklog.Bold)
+
+httpCache := sneklog.NewLogLevel(0, "cache")
+httpCache.SetForeground256Color(214)
+```
+
+Because `LogLevel` setters mutate the level in place, call them on a variable, not on a temporary value returned by `NewLogLevel(...)`.
+Short forms such as `SetFgColor` and `SetBgColor` remain available for backward compatibility.
+
+Common severities also have dedicated helpers:
+
+```go
+access := sneklog.NewInfoLogLevelWithColors("access", sneklog.FgCyan, sneklog.BgNone)
+audit := sneklog.NewWarnLogLevel("audit")
+```
+
+These helpers keep the legacy severity index for backward compatibility and also
+assign default threshold values:
+
+- `INFO`: `th=10`
+- `WARN`: `th=20`
+- `ERROR`: `th=30`
+- `FATAL`: `th=40`
+- `DEBUG`: `th=0`
+
+To define custom threshold-based levels explicitly:
+
+```go
+trace := sneklog.NewThresholdLogLevelWithColors(4, 5, "trace", sneklog.FgHiBlack, sneklog.BgNone)
+audit := sneklog.NewThresholdLogLevel(1, 25, "audit")
+
+logger := sneklog.NewLogger().
+	SetLevel(audit).
+	SetThresholdMode(true)
+
+logger.Print(trace, "verbose trace") // filtered out
+logger.Print(audit, "audit event")   // allowed
+```
+
+HTTP method-specific predefined levels are available out of the box:
+
+```go
+level := sneklog.LogLevelForMethod(http.MethodPost)
+logger.Print(level, "POST /users")
+```
+
+When comparing levels:
+
+- use `SameLevel` if only the legacy severity index matters;
+- use `SameThreshold` if only threshold filtering matters;
+- use `Equal` if the full configuration, including threshold, colors, and attributes, must match.
+
+## Message replacement
+
+`AddReplacer(old, new)` replaces matching text in every message before the
+record reaches any writer. Replacement rules are applied in the order they are
+added.
+
+```go
+logger := sneklog.CreateLogger().
+	Level(sneklog.DEBUG).
+	AddReplacer("SOME_SECRET", "<redacted>").
+	AddReplacer("user@example.com", "<email>")
+
+logger.Infoln("login token:", "SOME_SECRET")
+```
+
+This writes `<redacted>` instead of `SOME_SECRET` in both text and JSON output.
+An empty `old` value is ignored.
+
+## API summary
+
+- `Info`, `Warn`, `Error`, `Debug`, and `Fatal` accept a list of values.
+- `Infof`, `Warnf`, `Errorf`, `Debugf`, and `Fatalf` use `fmt.Sprintf`.
+- `Printf(level, format, args...)` formats a message for an explicit `LogLevel`.
+- The `*ln` methods preserve newline semantics, which is useful for `stdout`, Docker, and line-based collectors.
+- `Fatal`, `Fatalf`, and `Fatalln` call `os.Exit(1)` after writing the message.
+- `AddReplacer` masks or rewrites message text before records are sent to writers.
+
+## Traceback behavior
+
+- Text writers use the nearest user stack frame.
+- JSON writers receive the full traceback slice.
+- Internal `sneklog` frames and `runtime` frames are filtered out.

+# SNekLog (ScuroNeko Logger)
+
+Небольшой структурированный логгер для Go с текстовым и JSON-выводом, несколькими writer'ами и настраиваемыми traceback-метаданными.
+
+English version: [README.md](README.md)
+
+## Возможности
+
+- Одновременная запись в несколько destinations.
+- Текстовый и JSON-форматы.
+- `stdout`, файлы и любые внешние `io.Writer`.
+- Опциональные timestamp'ы для текстового вывода.
+- Компактный traceback для текстовых writer'ов и полный traceback для JSON.
+- Замена текста в сообщениях для маскирования секретов или нормализации вывода.
+- Явные правила владения writer'ами при `Close()`.
+
+## Установка
+
+```bash
+go get git.scuroneko.dev/scuroneko/sneklog/v2
+```
+
+## Быстрый старт
+
+```go
+package main
+
+import (
+	"log"
+
+	"git.scuroneko.dev/scuroneko/sneklog/v2"
+)
+
+func main() {
+	logger := sneklog.NewLogger().
+		SetName("API").
+		SetLevel(sneklog.DEBUG).
+		AddReplacer("SOME_SECRET", "<redacted>")
+
+	text := logger.CreateTextStdoutWriter()
+	jsonFile, err := logger.CreateJsonFileWriter("logs/app.json")
+	if err != nil {
+		log.Fatal(err)
+	}
+
+	logger.AddWriters(text, jsonFile)
+
+	logger.Infoln("service started")
+	logger.Warnln("cache miss")
+	logger.Errorln("request failed")
+	logger.Debugln("debug details")
+	logger.Infoln("token", "SOME_SECRET")
+
+	if err := logger.Close(); err != nil {
+		log.Fatal(err)
+	}
+}
+```
+
+## Значения по умолчанию
+
+`NewLogger()` создает логгер со следующими настройками:
+
+- `Prefix("LOG")`
+- `Level(sneklog.FATAL)`
+- `JsonPretty(false)`
+- текстовый formatter: `sneklog.DefaultTextFormatter`
+- JSON formatter: `sneklog.DefaultJsonFormatter`
+
+`CreateLogger()` по-прежнему доступен для обратной совместимости.
+
+Важно: в текущей модели уровней `Level(sneklog.FATAL)` пропускает `INFO`, `WARN`, `ERROR` и `FATAL`, но не `DEBUG`. Чтобы включить все сообщения, используйте `Level(sneklog.DEBUG)`.
+
+Если нужна классическая threshold-фильтрация, включите `SetThresholdMode(true)` и
+задавайте уровни через `NewThresholdLogLevel(...)` или
+`NewThresholdLogLevelWithColors(...)`.
+
+## Writer'ы и владение
+
+`Logger.Close()` закрывает только writer'ы, которые логгер создал сам:
+
+- `CreateTextFileWriter(...)`
+- `CreateJsonFileWriter(...)`
+
+Внешние writer'ы не закрываются:
+
+- `CreateTextWriter(existingWriter)`
+- `CreateJsonWriter(existingWriter)`
+- `CreateTextStdoutWriter()`
+- `CreateJsonStdoutWriter()`
+
+Это позволяет безопасно подключать `bytes.Buffer`, сетевые writer'ы и другие уже управляемые ресурсы.
+
+## Форматы вывода
+
+Текстовый writer формирует записи вида:
+
+```text
+2026-03-17T14:05:09+03:00 info API: service started
+```
+
+Используйте `SetFormatter` у writer'а, чтобы настроить timestamp'ы, traceback-поля, цвета и шаблон сообщения.
+
+JSON writer записывает объект со следующими полями:
+
+```json
+{
+  "time": "2026-03-17T14:05:09.123456789+03:00",
+  "level": "info",
+  "prefix": "API",
+  "message": "service started",
+  "traceback": [
+    {
+      "method": "main",
+      "filename": "main.go",
+      "line": 27,
+      "signature": "main.main",
+      "fullPath": "/path/to/main.go"
+    }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+Если включен `JsonPretty(true)`, JSON выводится с отступами.
+
+## Кастомные уровни и цвета
+
+Можно создавать собственные уровни и назначать им ANSI, 256-color или RGB-цвета, а также текстовые атрибуты вроде `Bold` и `Italic`.
+
+```go
+httpDelete := sneklog.NewLogLevel(0, "delete")
+httpDelete.SetBackgroundRGB(128, 0, 0)
+httpDelete.AddAttribute(sneklog.Italic).AddAttribute(sneklog.Bold)
+
+httpCache := sneklog.NewLogLevel(0, "cache")
+httpCache.SetForeground256Color(214)
+```
+
+Так как setter'ы `LogLevel` изменяют уровень на месте, их нужно вызывать на переменной, а не на временном результате `NewLogLevel(...)`.
+Короткие формы вроде `SetFgColor` и `SetBgColor` сохранены для обратной совместимости.
+
+Для стандартных severity также есть отдельные helper'ы:
+
+```go
+access := sneklog.NewInfoLogLevelWithColors("access", sneklog.FgCyan, sneklog.BgNone)
+audit := sneklog.NewWarnLogLevel("audit")
+```
+
+Эти helper'ы сохраняют legacy severity index для обратной совместимости и
+одновременно выставляют значения threshold по умолчанию:
+
+- `INFO`: `th=10`
+- `WARN`: `th=20`
+- `ERROR`: `th=30`
+- `FATAL`: `th=40`
+- `DEBUG`: `th=0`
+
+Чтобы явно создавать уровни для threshold-режима:
+
+```go
+trace := sneklog.NewThresholdLogLevelWithColors(4, 5, "trace", sneklog.FgHiBlack, sneklog.BgNone)
+audit := sneklog.NewThresholdLogLevel(1, 25, "audit")
+
+logger := sneklog.NewLogger().
+	SetLevel(audit).
+	SetThresholdMode(true)
+
+logger.Print(trace, "verbose trace") // будет отфильтровано
+logger.Print(audit, "audit event")   // будет записано
+```
+
+Для HTTP-методов доступны готовые уровни:
+
+```go
+level := sneklog.LogLevelForMethod(http.MethodPost)
+logger.Print(level, "POST /users")
+```
+
+При сравнении уровней:
+
+- используйте `SameLevel`, если важен только legacy severity index;
+- используйте `SameThreshold`, если важна только threshold-фильтрация;
+- используйте `Equal`, если нужно полное совпадение конфигурации, включая threshold, цвета и атрибуты.
+
+## Замена сообщений
+
+`AddReplacer(old, new)` заменяет найденный текст в каждом сообщении до того,
+как запись попадет в writer'ы. Правила замены применяются в порядке добавления.
+
+```go
+logger := sneklog.CreateLogger().
+	Level(sneklog.DEBUG).
+	AddReplacer("SOME_SECRET", "<redacted>").
+	AddReplacer("user@example.com", "<email>")
+
+logger.Infoln("login token:", "SOME_SECRET")
+```
+
+В текстовом и JSON-выводе вместо `SOME_SECRET` будет записано `<redacted>`.
+Пустое значение `old` игнорируется.
+
+## API кратко
+
+- `Info`, `Warn`, `Error`, `Debug`, `Fatal` принимают список значений.
+- `Infof`, `Warnf`, `Errorf`, `Debugf`, `Fatalf` используют `fmt.Sprintf`.
+- `Printf(level, format, args...)` форматирует сообщение для явного `LogLevel`.
+- Методы `*ln` добавляют семантику перевода строки, что удобно для `stdout`, Docker и line-based collectors.
+- `Fatal`, `Fatalf` и `Fatalln` вызывают `os.Exit(1)` после записи сообщения.
+- `AddReplacer` маскирует или переписывает текст сообщений перед отправкой в writer'ы.
+
+## Поведение traceback
+
+- Текстовые writer'ы используют ближайший пользовательский stack frame.
+- JSON writer'ы получают полный traceback.
+- Внутренние frame'ы `sneklog` и `runtime` фильтруются из traceback.

+# v2.3.0
+
+This release adds JSON HTML-escaping control while preserving the existing
+JSON writer defaults and newline semantics.
+
+### Added
+
+- Added `Formatter.SetJSONEscapeHTML(bool)` and `Formatter.JSONEscapeHTML` to control whether JSON writers escape HTML-sensitive characters such as `<`, `>`, and `&`.
+
+### Changed
+
+- JSON writers now use `json.Encoder` internally so formatter-level HTML escaping can be configured.
+
+### Fixed
+
+- Preserved `Print` and `Println` newline behavior for JSON output while switching to `json.Encoder`.
+
+### Compatibility
+
+- No breaking API changes.
+- HTML escaping remains enabled by default, matching the previous `encoding/json` behavior.
+- `Print` still emits JSON without an added newline, and `Println` emits exactly one trailing newline.
+
+# v2.2.0
+
+This release expands the public LogLevel API, adds optional threshold-based
+filtering alongside the legacy severity ordering, and improves documentation
+and test coverage.
+
+### Added
+
+- Added dedicated log level constructors:
+  - `NewInfoLogLevel`
+  - `NewInfoLogLevelWithColors`
+  - `NewWarnLogLevel`
+  - `NewWarnLogLevelWithColors`
+  - `NewErrorLogLevel`
+  - `NewErrorLogLevelWithColors`
+  - `NewFatalLogLevel`
+  - `NewFatalLogLevelWithColors`
+  - `NewDebugLogLevel`
+  - `NewDebugLogLevelWithColors`
+- Added threshold-aware log level constructors:
+  - `NewThresholdLogLevel`
+  - `NewThresholdLogLevelWithColors`
+- Added HTTP method-specific predefined log levels:
+  - `HTTPGetLevel`
+  - `HTTPHeadLevel`
+  - `HTTPPostLevel`
+  - `HTTPPutLevel`
+  - `HTTPPatchLevel`
+  - `HTTPDeleteLevel`
+  - `HTTPOptionsLevel`
+  - `HTTPConnectLevel`
+  - `HTTPTraceLevel`
+  - `HTTPUnknownLevel`
+- Added `LogLevelForMethod(method string) LogLevel` to map HTTP methods to predefined log levels.
+- Added `Logger.Printf(level, format, args...)` for formatted logging with an explicit log level.
+- Added `Logger.SetThresholdMode(bool)` to switch filtering from legacy severity-index ordering to threshold-based ordering.
+- Added `LogLevel.SameLevel`, `LogLevel.SameThreshold`, and `LogLevel.Equal` for severity-only, threshold-only, and full level comparisons.
+
+### Changed
+
+- Refactored log level definitions into a dedicated `levels.go` file.
+- Unified `Logger.Print` and `Logger.Println` through a shared internal implementation without changing their behavior.
+- Common helper constructors such as `NewInfoLogLevel` now also assign threshold values while preserving legacy severity indexes.
+- `LogLevel.Equal` now includes threshold configuration in full equality checks.
+- Expanded test coverage for `Logger.Printf`, HTTP level mapping, constructor behavior, threshold filtering, and backward compatibility.
+
+### Documentation
+
+- Improved GoDoc coverage for exported types, constructors, formatters, colors, HTTP helpers, and time layouts.
+- Documented threshold mode, threshold-aware constructors, level comparison helpers, and explicit-level formatted logging.
+- Expanded inline documentation for formatter tokens and default formatter behavior.
+- Updated English and Russian README files with threshold-mode examples and comparison guidance.
+
+### Compatibility
+
+- No breaking API changes.
+- Existing `Print`, `Println`, predefined levels, `Level/SetLevel`, and color APIs remain compatible.
+- Legacy severity ordering remains the default; threshold filtering is enabled only when `SetThresholdMode(true)` is called.
+- `SameLevel` remains severity-only for backward compatibility, even when levels carry threshold metadata.
+
+# v2.1.0
+
+This release expands sneklog color customization while preserving compatibility with the v2.0.1 API.
+
+## Added
+- custom LogLevel constructors with configurable colors
+- 256-color and RGB support for LogLevel
+- ANSI text attributes on LogLevel such as Bold and Italic
+- typed color helpers for foreground/background RGB and 256-color values
+- NewLogger, SetName, SetLevel, and SetJSONPretty as clearer preferred APIs
+
+## Improved
+- text and JSON writer handling of trailing newline semantics
+- formatter colorization logic for foreground, background, and attributes
+- GoDoc coverage across the public API
+- English and Russian README examples and API guidance
+
+## Compatibility
+- legacy APIs from v2.0.1 remain available as deprecated wrappers
+- legacy ColorStringBuilder method signatures were preserved for backward compatibility
+- deprecated methods now explicitly document their replacements and planned removal in v3
+
+## Fixed
+- extra separator/space issues in Println-style output
+- attribute slice handling and defensive copying for LogLevel
+- color mode precedence when switching between ANSI, 256-color, and RGB modes
+
+# v2.0.0
+
+## Highlights
+
+- Renamed the public Go package from `slog` to `sneklog` to avoid confusion with the standard library `log/slog` package.
+- Moved the module path to `git.scuroneko.dev/scuroneko/sneklog/v2` for Go module major-version compatibility.
+- Replaced fixed text writer settings with formatter-based output customization.
+- Added built-in ANSI color support and removed the external `github.com/fatih/color` dependency tree.
+- Formatters: a new way do display your logs!
+
+## Breaking Changes
+
+- Import paths must use the `/v2` module suffix:
+
+```go
+import "git.scuroneko.dev/scuroneko/sneklog/v2"
+```
+
+- Package references should use `sneklog` instead of `slog`.
+- Removed `Logger.PrintTime` and `Logger.PrintTraceback`; configure output through writer formatters instead.
+- Changed text writer constructors:
+  - `CreateTextWriter(w, printTraceback, printTime)` is now `CreateTextWriter(w)`.
+  - `CreateTextFileWriter(path, printTraceback, printTime)` is now `CreateTextFileWriter(path)`.
+  - `CreateTextStdoutWriter(printTraceback, printTime)` is now `CreateTextStdoutWriter()`.
+- Removed the old text formatting helpers: `BuildString`, `FormatTime`, `FormatTraceback`, and `FormatFullTraceback`.
+- JSON `time` values are now formatted through the configured formatter and stored as strings in `LoggerJsonMessage`.
+
+## Added
+
+- `Formatter` for configurable message layouts, timestamp layouts, traceback layouts, separators, and color behavior.
+- `DefaultTextFormatter` and `DefaultJsonFormatter` defaults for text and JSON writers.
+- `LoggerTextWriter.SetFormatter` and `LoggerJsonWriter.SetFormatter`.
+- Strftime-like timestamp format constants such as `RFC3339`, `Kitchen`, `DateTime`, `DateOnly`, and `TimeOnly`.
+- Built-in color types and helpers:
+  - `FgColor`, `BgColor`, and `Attribute`.
+  - `ColorStringBuilder`.
+  - Level color getters/setters on `LogLevel`.
+- Tests covering formatter defaults, empty traceback placeholders, literal `%` sequences in messages, color controls, and JSON newline semantics.
+
+## Changed
+
+- Text output defaults to `DefaultTextFormatter` instead of the old hard-coded string builder.
+- JSON output defaults to `DefaultJsonFormatter` and can now format the JSON `message` field through `Formatter`.
+- Newline semantics are normalized before text and JSON formatting, so trailing `\n` controls record termination without becoming part of the message.
+- Text color output is enabled by default only for stdout/stderr.
+- Example code now demonstrates custom formatters and color configuration.
+- Go dependencies were simplified by removing:
+  - `github.com/fatih/color`
+  - `github.com/mattn/go-colorable`
+  - `github.com/mattn/go-isatty`
+  - `golang.org/x/sys`
+
+## Fixed
+
+- `NewFormatter()` now returns a fresh copy instead of mutating `DefaultTextFormatter`.
+- `Formatter.FormatMessage` no longer panics when called with an empty traceback.
+- Placeholder-looking text inside log messages, such as `%L` or `%s`, is preserved literally.
+- `SetColorOutput(false)` disables color output.
+- `SetColorOnlyStdout(false)` allows color output for non-stdout writers.
+
+## Migration
+
+Before:
+
+```go
+import "git.scuroneko.dev/scuroneko/slog"
+
+logger := slog.CreateLogger().
+	Prefix("API").
+	Level(slog.DEBUG).
+	PrintTraceback(true)
+
+text := logger.CreateTextStdoutWriter()
+```
+
+After:
+
+```go
+import sneklog "git.scuroneko.dev/scuroneko/sneklog/v2"
+
+logger := sneklog.CreateLogger().
+	Prefix("API").
+	Level(sneklog.DEBUG)
+
+formatter := sneklog.NewFormatter().
+	SetFormat("%t [%L] %N: %m (%B)")
+
+text := logger.CreateTextStdoutWriter().
+	SetFormatter(formatter)
+```
+
+# v1.2.0
+
+## Highlights
+
+- Added message replacement with `Logger.AddReplacer(old, new)` for masking secrets or normalizing log output.
+- Preserved the existing `LoggerWriter.Print(...any)` contract, so custom writers do not need a signature update.
+- Improved JSON writer newline handling for messages that already end with `\n`.
+
+## Added
+
+- `Logger.AddReplacer(old, new)` appends a replacement rule that is applied before records are sent to writers.
+- README and package GoDoc now document message replacement and include usage examples.
+- Tests covering message type preservation for custom writers, JSON empty messages, and JSON trailing newline behavior.
+
+## Fixed
+
+- `LoggerJsonWriter.Print` no longer panics when called with no message arguments.
+- `LoggerJsonWriter.Print` now treats a trailing newline at the end of the last message as newline semantics and does not include that newline in the JSON `message` field.
+- Log messages keep their original argument types for custom writers when no replacement rules are configured.
+
+## Changed
+
+- Updated the example program to demonstrate `AddReplacer`.
+- Updated dependencies:
+  - `github.com/fatih/color` from `v1.18.0` to `v1.19.0`
+  - `github.com/mattn/go-isatty` from `v0.0.20` to `v0.0.21`
+  - `golang.org/x/sys` from `v0.42.0` to `v0.43.0`
+
+## Compatibility
+
+No breaking API changes are intended in this release. The public `LoggerWriter` interface continues to accept `messages ...any`.

+// Package sneklog provides a small structured logger that can write the same
+// record to text and JSON outputs.
+//
+// A Logger can fan out records to stdout, files, or any external io.Writer.
+// Text writers can include timestamps and a compact traceback frame. JSON
+// writers always emit a structured traceback slice.
+//
+// CreateLogger uses the following defaults:
+//   - prefix: "LOG"
+//   - level: FATAL, which enables info, warn, error, and fatal records
+//   - pretty JSON: disabled
+//   - text formatter: DefaultTextFormatter
+//   - JSON formatter: DefaultJsonFormatter
+//
+// Call Level(DEBUG) to enable all records, including debug messages.
+// AddReplacer can be used to mask or normalize message text before records are
+// passed to writers. Call SetFormatter on a writer to customize timestamps,
+// traceback fields, colors, and message layout.
+//
+// The package also provides helper constructors for common severities such as
+// NewInfoLogLevel and NewErrorLogLevel, plus predefined HTTP method-specific
+// levels such as HTTPGetLevel and HTTPPostLevel. Use LogLevelForMethod to map
+// an HTTP method to one of those predefined levels.
+//
+// Basic usage:
+//
+//	logger := sneklog.CreateLogger().
+//		Prefix("API").
+//		Level(sneklog.DEBUG).
+//		AddReplacer("secret-token", "<redacted>")
+//
+//	text := logger.CreateTextStdoutWriter()
+//	jsonFile, err := logger.CreateJsonFileWriter("logs/app.json")
+//	if err != nil {
+//		panic(err)
+//	}
+//
+//	logger.AddWriters(text, jsonFile)
+//	logger.Infoln("service started", "secret-token")
+//
+//	if err := logger.Close(); err != nil {
+//		panic(err)
+//	}
+//
+// Writers created with CreateTextFileWriter or CreateJsonFileWriter are owned by
+// the logger and are closed by Logger.Close. Writers created from existing
+// io.Writer values through CreateTextWriter or CreateJsonWriter remain owned by
+// the caller and are not closed by the logger.
+//
+// LogLevel values can be compared with SameLevel when only the legacy severity
+// index matters, with SameThreshold when only threshold filtering matters, or
+// with Equal when the full level configuration must match.
