Research direction

No source file or test is named. Start by reproducing the serial-console behavior with WALinuxAgent 2.2.46 on Ubuntu 20.04 under XenServer 8.2, then trace how the agent and cloud-init-related messages are routed to the VM console. Done means the unwanted log output no longer prevents normal console use, with a regression check for the reported environment.
