No, no such message.  Actually, there are only 2 additional lines in the
log file.  So the following are the last 4 lines of the
shepherd.log.1.zstd (you did already see the first 2 lines):

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
2025-02-23 12:00:02 Waiting anew for timer 'kerberos-log-in-refresh' (resuming from sleep state?).
2025-02-23 22:00:01 Not rotating '/home/<redacted>/.local/state/shepherd/dbus.log', which is below the 8192 B threshold.

2025-02-23 22:00:01 Rotating log.
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

The empty line is in the log, that is not a copy&paste error.  The next
log (shepherd.log) starts with:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
2025-02-23 22:00:01 Rotating '/home/<redacted>/.local/state/shepherd/shepherd.log' to '/home/<redacted>/.local/state/shepherd/shepherd.log.1'.
2025-02-23 22:00:01 Rotated '/home/<redacted>/.local/state/shepherd/shepherd.log'.
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

So there is not much indication what happened.
