Description
Four structs — AccessLogEntry, FirewallLogEntry, AuditLogEntry, and GatewayLogEntry — are each independently defined in pkg/cli to model the same underlying concept: a parsed log line. They share no common base type or interface, which means any code that wants to handle "a log entry" generically (formatting, filtering, serialization) has to special-case each type separately instead of programming against a shared shape.
Expected Impact
A shared base struct/interface (e.g. common timestamp/source/level fields) would let log-handling code (formatters, filters, report generators) work generically across all four log kinds instead of duplicating logic four times, and would make it easier to add a 5th log-entry type in the future.
Suggested Agent
General-purpose refactor agent — identify the common fields across the four structs, introduce a shared base type, and migrate the four structs to embed/implement it without changing external behavior.
Estimated Effort
Medium (1-4 hours)
