Description
In environments such as JetBrains, there's no view where the processes stdout can be observed.
- It may be easier to write (or mirror) logs to something like
~/.appmap/navie/logs/<timestamp>.log. - Alternatively, JetBrains would need to store and present logs via a JetBrains specific mechanism.
- The RPC process could store its own logs, returning them to the user on demand via an RPC method.

Research direction
Start by locating the RPC process and the path that currently sends Navie logs only to stdout. Clarify which of the proposed storage or RPC approaches is intended; done means JetBrains users can retrieve Navie logs without observing process stdout.
