Description

This request is applicable to Shiny for R too

It would be helpful if there is an option to send messages to JS console to debug apps like https://github.com/rstudio/py-shiny/blob/main/examples/event/app.py and will be helpful for e2e testing assertions as well.

Research direction

Start with examples/event/app.py and trace how messages move between the Python app and the browser; the issue names no implementation file or test. Clarify the option's API, console behavior, and Shiny for R scope, then add coverage for the event example and an end-to-end console assertion.
