Description

What if we printed very simple, clear next steps, but added a command to view detailed logs and output.

For example, when using kurl with kotsadm, the next steps are to copy the generated password and visit a URL (:8800) to continue. Ideally this output would be all that's displayed, along with a command that can be used to view additional output.

Research direction

Start by locating the kURL installation output that appears when kotsadm is used, then trace how installation logs are currently displayed. Define the concise success output around the generated password and URL, along with a command for viewing detailed logs. Done means the installer shows clear next steps without hiding access to the full output.
