Description

When a task fails, there is a warning icon to show that it failed, but it is not clickable. If you want to see the reason for the failure, you need to go to Settings/View Task Runs, then select the failed run, and View Task Logs.

We should link from the warning icon to the log directly.

Research direction

Start in the Tasks UI and trace the warning icon to the existing Settings/View Task Runs and View Task Logs flow. Confirm how a failed task identifies its failed run, then make the warning icon open that run's logs directly. Done means the failure message is reachable from the task view without navigating through Settings.
