It also updates callers across initialization, RPC, the Qt interface, and the kernel C API.",

This removes mutex acquisition during category log checks, simplifies Logger internals, and drops several redundant methods. The only functional change is that dynamically enabling categories via RPC or kernel API now always enables them at Debug level rather than restoring previous -loglevel settings. Review is currently in a neutral state; earlier concerns regarding commit structure and behavioral edge cases were resolved by the author, and the PR is ready for re-review."
