One oddity I've noticed is if I push past midnight before concluding the day then the household log is blank and the occupant's stats don't change. Is this a known issue or working as intended?
It is a bug.
The automation mod includes an alternative log without the bug.
I would not have added it, if I expected the original log to be fixed any time soon
And yes, I have considered making a separate log only mod, for anyone who prefers to play without automation mod.
But it will probably not happen, any time soon, because it already needs to be updated for new variables added in latest versions of the game, and I'm not fond of the idea of having to double edit future changes to it.
