Description

Describe the Feature You Want

Currently, if you create a Deployment with multiple replicas, Tilt will show the logs from all of them interleaved. Tilt has metadata about where each log came from, but currently doesn't have any way for you to see that.

There should be a way (in the UI) to tell the logs came from different pods, or even better, look at just one pod log stream

Current Behavior

logs are all interspersed

Why Do You Want This?

This came up in a meeting today. I'm going to leave this open so I can ask people for additional feedback on what they want from pod-differentiation

Additional context
For a long time, we actually tried to pick a "best" pod, see https://github.com/tilt-dev/tilt/issues/2081. I think the ability to track multiple pods simultaneously might be relatively recent.

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the UI that renders interleaved logs and the existing pod metadata, then clarify whether the goal is per-pod labeling, selectable streams, or both; done means users can distinguish pod log streams in the UI.
