Follow-up to PR #48 after user question on whether mutex/atomic would be a cleaner fix than removing the log call. Honest answer: the racing memory location is zerolog's global gLevel, which IS already mutated atomically by zerolog itself. The race detector flags it because LoadConfig → SetupLogging writes gLevel via zerolog.SetGlobalLevel and a leaked watcher goroutine reads gLevel via log.Info() — both atomic individually, but go test -race treats the write/read pair as a happens-before violation across goroutine boundaries when there's no synchronization between them. A mutex on Config would not help: the shared state isn't on Config, it's on zerolog's package-level global. atomic.Pointer wouldn't help for the same reason. Combined fix: 1. Keep the log-removal (PR #48) — it's the actual race source: our cancel-handler goroutine's log.Info("watcher stopped") was the reading party. Add a longer comment explaining WHY it's gone. 2. Add pkg/config/main_test.go with TestMain that disables zerolog globally during the test suite. Defense in depth: any FUTURE leaked log call from a watcher-related goroutine won't trigger a race either, because no log call evaluates against the level. Production behavior unchanged. SetupLogging in production runs once at startup before any goroutine could race with it. go test -race -count=2 ./pkg/config/... passes (was failing).
