v0.1.1 - Improve logging system with rotation and separate error logs

### Changed
- Implement professional logging system with RotatingFileHandler
- Move logs from data/ to separate logs/ directory
- Add separate error.log with full tracebacks
- Configure automatic log rotation (10MB max, 5 backups)
- Add configurable log size and rotation settings
- Improve console output format

### Configuration
- New logging options in config.yaml:
  - max_bytes: 10485760 (10MB)
  - backup_count: 5
  - error_file: separate error log path

### Files
- logs/watchdog.log - Main log (all messages)
- logs/error.log - Error log (errors only with traceback)
- Auto-rotation: *.log.1-5 backups

+
+### Changed - Verbesserte Funktionalität
+
+- 📝 **Verbessertes Logging-System**
+  - Separates `logs/` Verzeichnis (statt `data/`)
+  - Automatische Log-Rotation mit `RotatingFileHandler`
+    - Maximale Größe: 10 MB pro Datei
+    - Backup-Count: 5 Dateien
+  - Separate Error-Logs (`error.log`) mit vollständigem Traceback
+  - Konfigurierbare Log-Größe und Rotation in `config.yaml`
+  - Bessere Console-Ausgabe (kürzeres Format)
+
+### Technical Details
+- `app/main.py`: Implementierung von RotatingFileHandler
+- `config/config.yaml`: Neue Logging-Optionen (max_bytes, backup_count, error_file)
+- `docker-compose.yml`: Volume-Mapping für logs/ Verzeichnis
+- `.gitignore`: Log-Dateien und Rotationen ausgeschlossen

+## Logging-System
+
+### Log-Dateien
+
+Das System erstellt separate Log-Dateien im `logs/` Verzeichnis:
+
+| Datei | Inhalt | Log-Level |
+|-------|--------|-----------|
+| `watchdog.log` | Alle Meldungen (INFO, WARNING, ERROR) | Konfigurierbar |
+| `error.log` | Nur Fehler mit vollständigem Traceback | ERROR + |
+
+### Automatische Log-Rotation
+
+- **Maximale Größe:** 10 MB pro Log-Datei
+- **Backup-Count:** 5 rotierte Dateien
+- **Gesamt:** ~50 MB pro Log-Typ (6 Dateien inkl. aktuellem)
+
+Alte Logs werden automatisch als `.log.1`, `.log.2`, etc. archiviert.
+
+### Log-Level Konfiguration
+
+In `config/config.yaml`:
+
+```yaml
+logging:
+  level: "INFO"  # Optionen: DEBUG, INFO, WARNING, ERROR, CRITICAL
+```
+
+**Empfohlene Einstellungen:**
+- **Produktion:** `INFO` - Normale Betriebsmeldungen
+- **Debugging:** `DEBUG` - Detaillierte Informationen für Fehlersuche
+- **Minimal:** `WARNING` - Nur Warnungen und Fehler
+
+### Log-Ansicht
+
+```bash
+# Aktuelle Logs ansehen
+tail -f logs/watchdog.log
+
+# Nur Fehler ansehen
+tail -f logs/error.log
+
+# Docker Logs (Container)
+docker-compose logs -f watchdog
+
+# Letzte 100 Zeilen
+tail -n 100 logs/watchdog.log
