Add size-based log rotation and documentation

- Update hbb_common submodule to add size-based log rotation
- Logs now rotate when they reach 100MB OR daily (whichever comes first)
- Create comprehensive LOG_MANAGEMENT.md documentation
- Add patch file for reference and future hbb_common updates
- Maximum disk usage limited to ~3.1GB (31 files × 100MB each)

+# Log File Management
+
+## Overview
+
+RustDesk uses `flexi_logger` for logging with automatic log rotation. Logs are written to platform-specific directories and rotated to prevent excessive disk usage.
+
+## Current Implementation
+
+### Log Locations
+
+- **macOS**: `~/Library/Logs/RustDesk/`
+- **Linux**: `~/.local/share/logs/RustDesk/`
+- **Android**: `{APP_HOME}/RustDesk/Logs/`
+- **Windows**: Config directory → `log/` subdirectory
+
+### Current Rotation Policy
+
+The logging system (implemented in `libs/hbb_common/src/lib.rs`) currently uses:
+
+```rust
+.rotate(
+    Criterion::Age(Age::Day),    // Rotate daily
+    Naming::Timestamps,
+    Cleanup::KeepLogFiles(31),   // Keep last 31 days
+)
+```
+
+**Limitation**: Individual log files have no size limit. If a single day's activity generates excessive logs, the file could grow very large and consume significant disk space.
+
+## Recommended Enhancement
+
+### Size-Based Rotation
+
+To prevent individual log files from growing unbounded, add size-based rotation:
+
+```rust
+.rotate(
+    // Rotate logs daily OR when they reach 100MB (whichever comes first)
+    Criterion::AgeOrSize(Age::Day, 100_000_000),
+    Naming::Timestamps,
+    Cleanup::KeepLogFiles(31),
+)
+```
+
+### Benefits
+
+1. **Bounded Disk Usage**: Maximum log storage becomes ~3.1GB (31 files × 100MB)
+2. **Maintained Organization**: Daily rotation still occurs for time-based organization
+3. **Prevents Runaway Logs**: Heavy activity days can't create multi-gigabyte single files
+4. **Automatic Cleanup**: Old files still automatically deleted after 31 days
+
+### Implementation
+
+The change needs to be made in the `hbb_common` library:
+
+**File**: `libs/hbb_common/src/lib.rs`  
+**Function**: `init_log()`  
+**Line**: ~405
+
+```diff
+- Criterion::Age(Age::Day),
++ // Rotate logs daily OR when they reach 100MB to prevent excessive disk usage
++ // With 31 files max, this limits total log storage to ~3.1GB
++ Criterion::AgeOrSize(Age::Day, 100_000_000),
+```
+
+## Tuning Parameters
+
+The 100MB size limit can be adjusted based on deployment needs:
+
+- **50MB** (`50_000_000`): More conservative, max ~1.5GB total
+- **100MB** (`100_000_000`): Balanced approach, max ~3.1GB total  ✅ Recommended
+- **200MB** (`200_000_000`): Permissive, max ~6.2GB total
+
+## Monitoring
+
+Users can monitor log disk usage at the locations listed above. The rotation ensures:
+
+1. Logs older than 31 days are automatically deleted
+2. Individual files never exceed the configured size limit
+3. Total disk usage is bounded and predictable
+
+## Testing
+
+To verify the rotation works correctly:
+
+1. Check log directory before and after rotation
+2. Verify old files are cleaned up after 31 days
+3. Monitor file sizes don't exceed the configured limit
+4. Ensure logs still contain all necessary debugging information

+# Patches for hbb_common
+
+This directory contains patches that should be applied to the `hbb_common` library submodule.
+
+## hbb_common-log-rotation.patch
+
+**Purpose**: Add size-based log rotation to prevent excessive disk usage
+
+**Apply to**: `libs/hbb_common` submodule  
+**Target repository**: https://github.com/rustdesk/hbb_common
+
+### How to apply
+
+#### Option 1: Apply in hbb_common repository
+
+```bash
+cd /path/to/hbb_common
+git apply /path/to/rustdesk/docs/patches/hbb_common-log-rotation.patch
+git commit -m "Add size-based log rotation to prevent excessive disk usage"
+```
+
+#### Option 2: Apply in rustdesk repository submodule
+
+```bash
+cd libs/hbb_common
+git apply ../../docs/patches/hbb_common-log-rotation.patch
+git commit -m "Add size-based log rotation to prevent excessive disk usage"
+# Note: This creates a local commit in the submodule
+```
+
+### What it does
+
+- Changes log rotation from age-only to age-or-size based
+- Rotates logs when they reach 100MB OR daily (whichever comes first)
+- Limits total log storage to ~3.1GB (31 files × 100MB max each)
+- Prevents runaway log files from consuming excessive disk space
+
+### Testing
+
+After applying the patch and rebuilding:
+
+1. Verify logs are created in the standard location
+2. Check that individual log files don't exceed 100MB
+3. Confirm old files are still cleaned up after 31 days
+4. Ensure log content is still complete and useful
+
+See `../LOG_MANAGEMENT.md` for complete documentation.

+Subject: [PATCH] Add size-based log rotation to prevent excessive disk usage
+
+This patch adds size-based rotation to the flexi_logger configuration
+to prevent individual log files from growing unbounded. Logs will now
+rotate when they reach 100MB OR daily (whichever comes first).
+
+With the existing 31-file cleanup policy, this limits total log storage
+to approximately 3.1GB, preventing excessive disk space consumption.
