Description
control.console_read (incremental cursor-based tail). Console content today arrives post-hoc as artifacts (crash-watch verdicts, sysrq dumps). A "read since cursor" tool would let an agent watch a slow or hanging boot progress live. Medium value since watch_for_crash + artifacts covers the crash cases.
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start at the control.console_read entry point and trace how console content currently becomes crash-watch verdicts and sysrq dump artifacts. Define the cursor semantics for reading only content since a supplied cursor, then verify that a slow or hanging boot can be monitored incrementally while existing artifact-based crash coverage remains intact.
