Description

You can’t use the (deprecated) --logdir_spec flag with RustBoard. As
of #4794, we’ll gracefully fall back to the multiplexer if you attempt
to do so. But maybe this particular invocation is common enough that it
merits an explicit explanation of the problem rather than a silent
fallback:

$ tensorboard --logdir_spec foobar --load_fast auto
warning: --logdir_spec not supported with --load_fast; falling back to
slow data loading paths

Research direction

Start at the CLI handling for --logdir_spec and --load_fast, then run the example command from the issue to observe the current fallback behavior. Done means the mismatch produces an explicit warning explaining that --logdir_spec is unsupported with --load_fast and that slow data-loading paths will be used.
