Description

Currently temporal docker emits a lot of logs with 99.9% of them being useless. It also doesn't have clear indication when the service is ready serve requests. My proposal is to emit something like:

Temporal Service Starting...
Temporal Service Started

and then emit only fatal errors. For troubleshooting provide an option to enable logs.

Research direction

Start by locating the Temporal Docker startup and logging configuration, then inspect how the service currently reports readiness and runtime logs. Done means startup and readiness messages are clear, routine output is suppressed by default, fatal errors remain visible, and an option enables troubleshooting logs.
