Description

#392 added a ContainerStop to Deployer.Destroy, so that the container has a chance to gracefully shut down and flush its logs before we print them.

However, we print the logs in a couple of other situations:

  • in Deployer.Deploy, if there is a timeout waiting for the container to be ready. (In this case it looks like we don't destroy the container at all?)
  • in Builder.ConstructBlueprint (via Builder.construct).

In both these cases, the logs are printed before the container is stopped.

Research direction

Start by reading Deployer.Deploy and Builder.ConstructBlueprint via Builder.construct, then compare their log handling with Deployer.Destroy and its ContainerStop behavior. Reproduce the timeout and construction paths to verify when logs are printed. Done means the container is stopped before logs are printed in both cases, with the timeout path also handling the container lifecycle correctly.
