## Description

<!-- SECTION:DESCRIPTION:BEGIN -->
Wire termcolor into the logging helper so Kaze log lines render in green when output supports color, and stay uncolored in non-TTY contexts.
<!-- SECTION:DESCRIPTION:END -->

## Acceptance Criteria
<!-- AC:BEGIN -->
- [x] #1 Logging helper uses termcolor to colorize output conditionally based on TTY/ColorChoice.
- [x] #2 All existing log calls remain API-compatible (no behavior changes besides color).
- [x] #3 Unit/integration tests updated or added to validate color behavior or suppression as applicable.
<!-- AC:END -->

## Final Summary

<!-- SECTION:FINAL_SUMMARY:BEGIN -->
Integrated termcolor into log helper to emit green log lines via StandardStream and added unit tests covering ANSI and no-color buffers. Ran `cargo test -p nishikaze core::log`.
