Console Logging

Additional UseJsonConsoleLogging extension for rich JSON-formatted console logging of IChatClient requests and responses are provided at two levels:

Chat pipeline: similar to UseLogging.
HTTP pipeline: lowest possible layer before the request is sent to the AI service, can capture all requests and responses. Can also be used with other Azure SDK-based clients that leverage ClientPipelineOptions.

Rich JSON formatting is provided by Spectre.Console

The HTTP pipeline logging can be enabled by calling UseJsonConsoleLogging on the client options passed to the client constructor:

var openai = new OpenAIClient(
    Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("OPENAI_API_KEY")!,
    new OpenAIClientOptions().UseJsonConsoleLogging());

Both alternatives receive an optional JsonConsoleOptions instance to configure the output, including truncating or wrapping long messages, setting panel style, and more.

The chat pipeline logging is added similar to other pipeline extensions:

IChatClient chat = new OpenAIChatClient(Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("OPENAI_API_KEY")!, "gpt-5.2");
    .AsBuilder()
    .UseOpenTelemetry()
    // other extensions...
    .UseJsonConsoleLogging(new JsonConsoleOptions()
    {
        // Formatting options...
        Border = BoxBorder.None,
        WrapLength = 80,
    })
    .Build();

By default, the logging will only be performed if the console is interactive.
