Description
- Operating System:
Ubuntu 20 - Installation type:
from source
Expected behavior
As ros1 all the logs should be saved as
logs/day-months-time_id/ [list of files]
Actual behavior
The logs are being saved in the logs folder but not in the same subfolder and only cpp nodes have the name of the file.

Additional information
for the python logs we use the library logging and for cpp the RCLCPP_*_STREAM

Research direction
No source files or tests are named. Start by tracing how launch creates the logs directory and how Python logging and RCLCPP_*_STREAM output are handled; done means all node logs are saved in one timestamped subfolder with consistent file naming.
