Description
When I re-open the client I'd like to also re-attach to my log files/scrollback then replay znc playback since I disconnected so it appears to me as if I never closed or left the channel/client
I also want this functionality when I join a znc detached a channel, or when I've left a channel completely. (this would kinda require a way to /close a channel or window without /clear'ing it)
This scrollback could be limited to X lines, that's fine with me
So on /join or on client start I'd like if it did this:
- Open the channel window
- Attach the tail of the log files for that channel so I can Pg Up/Pg Down in it
- Send JOIN to server
- replay znc playback (I think that's automatic)
Why? Well I want to use /grep rather than having to go dig in my logs dir just because the message is a day old

Research direction
Start with the client-start and /join flows, then inspect how channel windows, log files, scrollback, and ZNC playback are currently handled. Confirm the behavior for reopening the client, joining a detached channel, and rejoining after leaving, including a bounded tail and /grep access; done means the requested sequence works without clearing existing history.
