Description

The prebuild logs viewer in workspace startup, and in project prebuilds, only shows the logs for the first tasks.
This makes it difficult to debug prebuilds in workspaces with multiple tasks, e.g. multi-repo workspaces.

Since tasks can run in parallel, there need to be multiple log display areas in the page.
I quite like the way the werft UI does this.

Research direction

Start by locating the prebuild logs viewer used during workspace startup and project prebuilds, then trace how task output is selected for display. Done means logs from every task, including parallel tasks, appear in separate display areas so multi-task prebuilds can be debugged.
