Remarks

So the Players tab does not start empty on a server that has been running for months. The server keeps its own logs in logs/: one gzipped file per start or per day (2026-09-18-1.log.gz) and the current one, latest.log. Every line goes through the same PlayerEventParser as the live console.

A log line carries only the time of day, so the date comes from the file. A gzipped log's name starts with the day it began. latest.log has no date in its name: its last write is the day it ended, and every time the clock goes backwards between two lines a midnight was crossed, so the day it began is that many days earlier.

latest.log is skipped while the server runs: the live console is recording those very lines at the same moment.
