Research direction

Start by locating the server-mode flag handling and the code path that accepts incoming connections. Confirm the project’s preferred flag name and logging conventions, then trace the connection details requested in the issue. Done means the selected flag logs each incoming connection with its source and destination information without changing normal server behavior.
