  • debug — Debug output
  • info — Low level messages
  • message — Normal messages
  • warning — Warnings
  • fail — Report test failures
  • error — Report errors

lowest level first, so trace is the loudest girlie in the room and fatal is the one who only speaks when it's serious 💀

⭐ Processing ⭐

• --threads=-1 — Maxiumum number of threads to use for processing,This number should be lower or equal to the number of logical processor cores in the machine. (-1: automatic estimation).

ngl she said "Maxiumum" and we're keeping it exactly as written, no cap. default is -1 which means she estimates it herself ✨ and bestie, keep it at or below your logical processor core count or she's gonna be fighting herself 💀
