# Switch to Logging in Main

Replace `print` statements with the standard `logging` module in `src/helia/main.py`.

## Problem Statement

`src/helia/main.py` uses `print` statements for output. This prevents proper log level management, timestamping, and integration with monitoring systems.

## Findings

- **File:** `src/helia/main.py`
- **Issue:** Use of `print` for logging information.
- **Impact:** Ops/Visibility reduced.

## Proposed Solutions

### Option 1: Standard Logging

**Approach:** Import `logging`, configure a basic logger, and replace `print()` calls with `logger.info()`, `logger.error()`, etc.

**Pros:**
- Standard practice.
- Configurable output levels and formats.

**Cons:**
- Slight initial setup overhead.

## Recommended Action

**To be filled during triage.**

## Technical Details

**Affected files:**
- `src/helia/main.py`

## Resources

- **Source:** Kieran Python Reviewer

## Acceptance Criteria

- [ ] `logging` module imported and configured.
- [ ] All diagnostic `print` statements replaced with `logger` calls.
- [ ] Import organization fixed in `src/helia/main.py` (mentioned in findings).
