 * A custom Error that logs itself immediately upon instantiation.

 * Logging inside the constructor introduces side effects during object creation,
 * which breaks separation of concerns and can lead to duplicate or unwanted logs.
 * It is generally better to log errors where they are caught, not where they are thrown.
 *
 * @class LogError
 * @extends {Error}
 * @param {string} msg - The error message.
 * @param {...any} details - Additional details passed to the logger.
