Description

Example in MapLoaderSystem you can see that it manually sets the Log level to Info
https://github.com/space-wizards/RobustToolbox/blob/56c30edf04d8efccd21d17b4be033ef316c99b4e/Robust.Server/GameObjects/EntitySystems/MapLoaderSystem.cs#L64

Now set your log.level cvar in your config to Error. Your config is ignored and Info is printed into console

Commenting the above line fixes this, but if I understood correctly this is done to prevent spam (?)

The real fix is to ensure log.level is always respected first.

Research direction

Start at Robust.Server/GameObjects/EntitySystems/MapLoaderSystem.cs around line 64 and trace how the Info log level is set relative to the log.level cvar. Reproduce with log.level set to Error, then verify that the configured level remains respected while the MapLoaderSystem logging behavior is preserved.
