If it's adding too much logging now, have you tried softening the instruction about adding more?

"NEVER REMOVE LOGGING OR DEBUGGING INFO. If unsure, bias towards introducing sensible logging."

Or just

"NEVER REMOVE LOGGING OR DEBUGGING INFO."

"I've had it explain that I could setup an ESP32 with a sensor so that I could get logging from it then write me firmware for it." lol did you try it? This so far from everything ratinonal
