Description

Describe the Feature You Want

Add a toggle for line wrapping in the Tilt WebUI to improve log readability and analysis, with changes taking effect immediately. Additionally, horizontal scrolling should be possible when line wrapping is turned off.

Current Behavior

Currently, all lines are wrapped when they exceed the width of the display area.

Why Do You Want This?

Disabling line wrapping enhances the ability to detect changes and patterns in consecutive long log lines, making it easier to identify issues and analyze logs without the distraction of broken lines. This feature would improve user experience by offering flexibility in log display, accommodating various user preferences and workflows.

Research direction

Start by locating the Tilt WebUI log-rendering entry point and reviewing how long lines are currently wrapped. Done means adding an immediate toggle, preserving wrapping when enabled, and allowing horizontal scrolling when it is disabled; verify the behavior with the WebUI's existing checks.
