Inspector: Log arrays are getting flattened

We've noticed some strange behaviour in the Lightning log viewer where items in arrays are not pretty printed.

In fact,the logger seems to entirely ignore arrays.

Repro

Run this against common in lightning:

fn((s) => {
  console.log([22])
  return s 
})

The logs say:

JOB 22

But they SHOULD say:

JOB [22]

Note that an array inside an object is fine:

JOB {
  "a": [
    22
  ]
}

Worker output

The object going out of the Worker contains a message array (because console.log(a,b,c) lets you log multiple things). This in turn contains a single item, itself an array.

I can see this in my Javascript debugger immediately before it's sent to the phoenix web socket:

{
  run_id: "c586f444-2a2f-465b-adca-b920845ec42e",
  message: [
    [
      224,
    ],
  ],
  source: "JOB",
  level: "info",
  timestamp: "1721916937859619",
}

So I'm pretty sure this isn't a worker issue.

So what's up?

Adding a breakpoint to log-viewer/store.tryPrettyJSON, I can see that the message comes as a flat string - 22 not [22]. So the logger won't try and pretty print it or anything.

It looks to me like the messages array is getting stringified and flattened?

Start at the named log-viewer/store.tryPrettyJSON entry point and reproduce the issue with the provided console.log([22]) example. Trace the message from the Worker through the Phoenix websocket and identify where the outer array loses its brackets; done means the viewer displays JOB [22] while preserving arrays nested in objects.
