2026-08-26: skellylogs/system/default_paths.py: get_log_file_path(), SKELLYLOGS_LOG_DIR_ENV_VAR, and the ~/skellylogs_data/logs/ default all confirmed to match exactly

Log files

By default, get_log_file_path() (in default_paths.py) creates ~/skellylogs_data/logs/ if needed and returns a per-run filename of the form log_<iso8601>_gmt±N.log (: replaced with _ so it is filesystem-friendly, milliseconds marked with ms). The base directory can be redirected wholesale via the SKELLYLOGS_LOG_DIR environment variable, used by tests and CI, or overridden per-call with log_file_path.
