Description

Currently wicket will log the mupdate id, e.g. the UUID for an overall update, but not the id generated for each component update.

This makes correlating the state of an update between wicket and MGS logs difficult. We should log the component update id as well.

Research direction

Start in wicketd/src/update_tracker.rs around line 2780, where the component update id is generated. Trace the existing logging for the overall mupdate id and update it so each component update id is also emitted. Done means wicket logs contain the component update ids needed to correlate state with MGS logs.
