Scope Logger suppression to armctl package and dependencies only

[Copilot]

The RTDE library maintains its own logger instance that ignores Logger.disable() and ARMCTL_LOG=0, causing unwanted log output during controller version detection. Additionally, the original implementation using logging.disable(logging.CRITICAL) was suppressing ALL loggers globally in the Python process, which could affect other libraries.

Changes

• Added _LOGGERS_TO_MANAGE list containing "armctl" and "rtde" logger namespaces
• Modified Logger.disable() to set logger levels to CRITICAL + 1 (fully suppresses all messages) for armctl and dependency loggers only
• Modified Logger.enable() to reset logger levels to NOTSET for armctl and dependency loggers
• Removed global logging.disable() calls - no longer affects other libraries' loggers
• Added test coverage for RTDE logger suppression
• Added test to verify other library loggers are NOT affected by Logger.disable()

Behavior

Logger.disable() and ARMCTL_LOG=0 now only suppress:

• armctl package loggers (anything under "armctl" namespace)
• Dependency loggers like "rtde"

Other library loggers continue to work normally and are NOT affected.

Example

import logging
from armctl import Logger

armctl_logger = logging.getLogger("armctl.test")
rtde_logger = logging.getLogger("rtde")
other_logger = logging.getLogger("some.other.library")

Logger.disable()
armctl_logger.info("Suppressed")  # No output
rtde_logger.info("Suppressed")  # No output
other_logger.info("Still visible")  # Output visible

Logger.enable()
armctl_logger.info("Now visible")  # Output visible
rtde_logger.info("Now visible")  # Output visible

The _LOGGERS_TO_MANAGE list makes it straightforward to add additional dependency loggers as needed.

Original prompt

This section details on the original issue you should resolve

<issue_title>Link Logger Supression to Dependencies with Loggers</issue_title>
<issue_description>If I use either

ARMCTL_LOG=0

Logger.disable()

... any dependency libraries should have their loggers linked to this function for suppression.

Currently, RTDE calls a logger when grabbing the controller version:

armctl/armctl/universal_robots/protocols/rtde.py

Lines 21 to 23 in 6cd08ca

	self.controller_version = (
	self.c.get_controller_version()
	) # (MAJOR, MINOR, BUGFIX, BUILD)

(See underlying source code here)

I'd like to use

logging.getLogger("rtde")

somewhere to mutually suppress it.</issue_description>

@copilot logging.disable(logging.CRITICAL) disables loggers globally. I just want to target this package and any dependencies below.

Changed to only suppress armctl and dependency loggers instead of using global logging.disable(). Now Logger.disable() and ARMCTL_LOG=0 only affect loggers under the "armctl" namespace and dependencies like "rtde", leaving other library loggers unaffected. (commit db0cc27)
