+Retire the deprecated egui log viewer and remove its install-time binary download.
+
+`@smooai/logger`'s `postinstall` ran `bundle-log-viewer`, which downloaded
+`https://github.com/SmooAI/logger/releases/latest/download/smooai-log-viewer-<platform>-<arch>`
+and `chmod 0755`'d it on **every** `npm i @smooai/logger` — an unpinned, unverified remote
+binary fetch (`latest`, not the installed version, with no checksum or signature), silently
+falling back to `cargo build` when the download failed. The Python distribution did the same
+thing from `poe build` / `poe publish`.
+
+The binary it fetched was the egui log viewer, which `log-viewer/DEPRECATED.md` declared gone as
+of `studio-v0.1.0` — superseded by SmooAI Observability Studio in
+[SmooAI/observability](https://github.com/SmooAI/observability) (`desktop/`).
+
+Removed:
+
+- the `postinstall` hook and both `bundle-log-viewer` scripts (Node + Python)
+- the `smooai-log-viewer` bin (npm) and console script (PyPI) and their wrappers
+- the `log-viewer/` crate source and the `build-log-viewer.yml` release workflow
+- 97 MB of tracked build artifacts (`python/log-viewer/{linux-x64,darwin-arm64}` binaries and a
+ stale `smooai-logger-3.1.2.tgz`), now gitignored
+- an unreferenced `log-viewer/README.md` entry in `files`, and the unused `@oclif/core` devDep
+
+`log-viewer/DEPRECATED.md` stays as the tombstone pointing at the replacement. The logging API
+itself is unchanged in every language.

 ## 🔎 Looking for the desktop Log Viewer?
 
-It moved. The Rust/egui log viewer that used to live in [`log-viewer/`](log-viewer/) has been rebuilt as **SmooAI Observability Studio** — a Dioxus native desktop client for SmooAI logs, errors, and metrics — and lives in the [SmooAI/observability](https://github.com/SmooAI/observability) repo (`desktop/`), with builds on its [releases page](https://github.com/SmooAI/observability/releases). The egui implementation here is gone as of `studio-v0.1.0`; see [`log-viewer/DEPRECATED.md`](log-viewer/DEPRECATED.md) for the migration story.
