feat: Implement content file logging system

- Update the log format to reference external .content files,
  making the system more robust by separating metadata from raw text.
- Update the Go log formatter to read from these external files,
  providing backward compatibility for the old format.
- Add a comprehensive log and content files for the entire session.
