Description

In debugging some recent issues with device emulation, I noticed that the device payload sent as a part of migration is not logged on the destination side if the import fails. We do have the payload from source logs, but it would be nice if, for debugging purposes, we also logged the payload that caused the failure in the destination logs.

Research direction

Start by tracing the device-state migration import path and the destination-side handling of failed imports. The change is complete when the payload that caused an import failure is included in destination logs, while preserving the existing source logging behavior.
