Logging not clear what I should be doing to get expected results

Bug summary

I am converting a command line data pipeline to a prefect flow and am trying to get logging to work as expected. I was discussing this with Chris White here: https://prefect-community.slack.com/archives/CL09KU1K7/p1726094132119519 But the source code is a bit complicated and he asked me to put it in a ticket instead. The code is here: https://github.com/j-carson/prefect_log_question

Additional context

I put the context in the comments in the flow in the linked repository

I've stared at this a bit, I think what needs to happen is here:

logging/configuration.py line 104:

            if logger.level == logging.NOTSET:
                logger.setLevel(extra_config.level)

should just be

handler.setLevel(extra_config.level)

1. No if-check because logger.level is always logging.NOTSET because configuration happens before my code has a chance to run
2. Set the level only on prefect's handler, not on the logger my code wants to configure differently
