# `obilog` Package — Semantic Overview
The `obilog` package provides a lightweight, conditional logging interface for the OBItools4 ecosystem. It wraps `logrus`, a structured logger, to emit warnings only when explicitly allowed by application-wide settings.
## Core Functionality
- **`Warnf(format string, args ...interface{})`**
A convenience wrapper around `logrus.Warnf`, enabling formatted warning messages. It respects a global "silent warnings" toggle defined in `obidefault.SilentWarning()`.
## Design Intent
- **Conditional Warning Output**:
Warnings are suppressed when `obidefault.SilentWarning()` returns `true`, supporting quiet or batch execution modes (e.g., CI pipelines, automated runs).
- **Consistency & Integration**:
Leverages `obidefault` to enforce centralized control over verbosity, aligning logging behavior with higher-level application configuration.
- **Minimal Abstraction**:
Keeps the interface simple and idiomatic, avoiding over-engineering while preserving flexibility for future extensions (e.g., adding `Debugf`, `Infof` wrappers).
## Use Case
Ideal for non-fatal issues in command-line tools or libraries—where warnings should be visible by default but suppressible on demand, without altering core logic.
## Dependencies
- `logrus`: Structured logging backend
- `obidefault`: Configuration layer for global behavior (e.g., silence mode)
> **Note**: This package is *not* a full logging subsystem—its a targeted, policy-aware warning emitter.
