Implement structured logging with pino (P2.17)

Add pino-based logger module for production observability: - JSON output to stdout for log aggregators (Loki, ELK) - Configurable via LOG_LEVEL environment variable (defaults to "info") - Log levels: error, warn, info, debug - Error objects serialized with type, message, and stack trace - Child logger support for bound context - ISO 8601 timestamps in all log entries Test coverage: 16 tests covering JSON format, log levels, error serialization, and child loggers. Total tests now: 553 passing across 31 test files. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
