i use the posix logger to write to my syslog daemon and as a result the entries inside of /var/log/syslog contain ansi escape codes:

Mar 27 21:56:45 uwu continuwuity: 2026-03-28T01:56:45.190278Z  WARN process_inbound_transaction{^[[3mid^[[0m^[[2m=^[[0m"1774569897754" ^[[3morigin^[[0m^[[2m=^[[0m"asgard.chat"}: conduwuit_service::rooms::event_handler::fetch_and_handle_outliers: Failed to fetch auth event $HK_6IAOjpPA-S37IQVq-qeUkNoNzu6G8PeoNUDh5Q70 from asgard.chat: Request error: error sending request

logger is one of the many tools inside of util-linux, and my syslog daemon is sysklogd

log_colors is set to false in my config
