Research direction

The issue identifies Mouse Without Borders and its debug output as the entry point, but names no files or tests. Start by locating that component's logging code and reproduce the behavior in a standard installation. Done means the production version no longer emits these messages by default, with any opt-in mechanism matching the agreed scope.
