Detailed log missing the Pack 1 Pick 1 entry
Platform: PC, Win11
Steps to reproduce:
1. Enable detailed logging in the Settings under Account > Detailed Logs (Plugin Support)
1. Join a Premiere Draft Event
2. Progress through the drafting process
3. Open the player log located at "C:\Users<Username>\AppData\LocalLow\Wizards Of The Coast\MTGA"
4. Note that the "Draft.Notify" entry exists in the log for all draft picks except the first one.
Actual: "Draft.Notify" entry is missing from the detailed log for pack 1 pick 1 of the draft.
Expected: "Draft.Notify" should be present in the detailed log for all packs and picks of the drafting process.
Workarounds: All complicated or not violate the EULA. For example - taking a screenshot of the draft and passing it to the OCR software, network packet inspection, etc.
Impact: This prevents third-party drafting helpers to function properly without complicated workarounds. Existing draft helpers most likely devote significant resources unavailable to general public to make it work.

It is important to note this ticket is not about allowing or banning interactive helpers. That should be discussed in a separate ticket. Additionally, as the author of this ticket, I am fine with either option.
This ticket is about giving a leveled playing field between companies (like untapped.gg or AetherHub that ask for money for draft helpers) and open source volunteers that don't have resources to work around such issues.

Horrible idea, please ban all draft interactive software it ruins draft for all players. The players who learn to rely on the software never actually learn to draft and have a bad experience of just clicking the button they're "supposed to," and those who don't use them are at an unfair disadvantage.
