Add timestamped logging to all console output

- Created logging_utils.py with log_message() function that prefixes all output with date, time, and process name - Replaced all print() statements with log_message() calls across the entire codebase - Fixed circular import issues by separating logging from utils.py - All console output now follows format: [YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS] [process_name] message This improves debugging and monitoring by providing clear timestamps and process identification for all log messages.
