Problem Statement
SessionEnd used to allow output logs. Now it hides them behind debug.
Output:
PreToolUse/PermissionRequest/PostToolUse/Stop/SubagentStop: Progress shown in verbose mode (ctrl+o)
Notification/SessionEnd: Logged to debug only (--debug)
UserPromptSubmit/SessionStart: stdout added as context for Claude
Why are SessionEnd logs logged to debug only? This breaks a ton of neat features for outputting things like session statistics or important cleanup logs.
Proposed Solution
Please revert this change

Use Case Example
We use SessionEnd logs to:
- indicate that the session transcript is being processed
- provide statistics about which tools and skills were the most frequently called
These provide critical information for my team, which is developing tools for claude code to speed up our engineers. For example, we need to know which skills are used and which aren't to determine whether they are simply sitting in the context window and whether our instructions to claude are being followed.
