Default log level in Code / Positron is "null"

I guess this is not expected that the default is "null"?

I think that's right actually? On the server side we want to know if the user actually set the value on the client side or not, so it needs to be optional on the client side.

It's specified like this in the package.json

I think it ends up as a null or undefined on the typescript side, and is serialized to Rust as a None

Is this just so that the server provides a default value and not the client?

I would just duplicate the default on the client side. This null value is puzzling as it looks like a bug and doesn't inform what is the default.
