(1) They are not levels - you can choose any combination.
(2) They seem about right to me. We need a common policy, but just from
the names this is how I would interpret them:
Information - stuff like progress info (e.g. server startup complete)
[incidentally, if you turn off all categories right now, you will see
when InstantDB starts, and when the server shuts down, but you don't get
any info about when startup is complete]
Error - something bad that will affect your ability to run your
application
Debug - information logged to help people to understand what is going on
in the server
Warning - something that the user should be aware of, but which is not
preventing the application from operating. This might be use of a
deprecated feature, or a check that the user really understands the
implications of their settings, or a message saying that the server has
placed a particular interpretation on incomplete or ambiguous settings.
