Description
Beginning with Chainlink version smartcontract/chainlink:1.3.1-nonroot the log formatting seems to have changed such that entries that are actually errors are tagged as 'debug' (along with many other entries that are non-critical errors or purely informational)
for example:
2022-06-10T12:06:07.795Z **debug** 1.4.1@73e70a9 Pipeline task completed {"jobID": 0, "jobName": "", "taskName": "ds1", "taskType": "bridge", "attempt": 0, "runInfo": {"IsRetryable":true,"IsPending":false}, "resultValue": null, **"resultError"**: "got error from XXX?source=coingecko: (status code 500) ", "resultErrorVerbose": "got error from XXX?source=coingecko: (status code 500).....}
The vast majority of log entries are tagged as 'debug' as above, this one is actually an error.
Would it be possible to tag errors with something along the lines of:
2022-06-10T12:06:07.795Z **error** 1.4.1@73e70a9 Pipeline task completed {....}
This would make identifying errors in the logs significantly easier.
Thanks for reviewing and considering!

Research direction
Start by locating the Chainlink code that logs pipeline task completion and inspect how resultError is represented in the example. Reproduce the logging behavior with a failed pipeline task, then verify that entries containing an actual task error are emitted at error level while informational completions remain debug.
