Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe
I'd like to know under which conditions a new image has to be built. It seems random to me, perhaps to do how often you clear cached images. It may also relate to how I've set up my workspace. With more logging and information during the create workspace process I would be able to make faster dev environment builds.
Describe the behaviour you'd like
A button so I can see logs (I appreciate not all users would want to see this). Perhaps an expandable button.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Maybe there is a log somewhere within the container I don't know about?

Research direction
The issue does not name files, tests, or an entry point. Start by locating the workspace creation UI and any existing build or container logging, then determine how an expandable log view could expose why an image is rebuilt. Done should mean users can open the view during workspace creation and see relevant build information.
