If I try to simplify various Log[1] expressions, such as
FullSimplify[Log[Sqrt[3-2Sqrt[2]](1+Sqrt[2])]]
I get
ArcSinh[1] + 1/2 Log[3 - 2 Sqrt[2]]
etc. How can I force such expressions to be simplified to zero? Using Mathematica 12.1 (Windows).

FullSimplify understands how to reduce the root:
FullSimplify[Sqrt[3 - 2 Sqrt[2]] (1 + Sqrt[2])]
(* 1 *)
However, it apparently starts down a different path and never tries this. Reduce the root first, and then simplify:
FullSimplify[RootReduce[Log[Sqrt[3 - 2 Sqrt[2]] (1 + Sqrt[2])]]]
(* 0 *)
