Cap server and agent excerpts at 256 KiB before display or request-ID search. Buffer only a bounded owner-only temporary file, preserve reader failures, and apply the hard deadline to the complete read-only pipeline. Exercise exact-size, overflow, stream, privacy, cleanup and closed-pipe deadline controls without accessing a real journal, daemon or service.
Contract-Neutral: Documentation-only passive log recipe bounds and executable copied-recipe tests; no runtime, API, authentication, installer or monitoring contract change.

Keep warning-priority evidence within the existing incident reader's deadline, record limit and failure handling. Explain info-priority legacy units without requesting a full secret-bearing unit or an incident-time installer rerun.
Contract-Neutral: Documentation and copied-reader regression tests only; no runtime, API, setting, permission or lifecycle contract changes.

The general help checklist bypassed the deadline and failure-handling recipes already on the same page. Link that existing path without requiring a request ID or repeated action, and exercise its actual copied readers.
Contract-Neutral: Documentation and regression checks only; no runtime, API, setting, or service-lifecycle change.

Capture both local log streams before presenting notification excerpts or request-ID matches. A reader error or deadline reports unavailability without a partial excerpt; missing GNU timeout has no unbounded fallback. Exercise copied recipes with successful, empty, partial-failure, missing-tool and hung readers, including termination grace.
Contract-Neutral: Existing read-only troubleshooting recipes and shipped mirror only; no runtime, API, permissions, settings or navigation contract changes.

Search the literal response request ID across JSON and console output, limit log collection, retain reader failures and distinguish missing logs from HTTP success. Explain safe browser evidence and default-level coverage without asking users to repeat a state-changing request. Execute the copied journal and Docker commands against bounded synthetic readers, including stderr, failures, no match and a console-only negative control.
Contract-Neutral: Documentation and executable recipe checks for existing request logging only; no API, authentication, runtime, schema or frontend behaviour changes.
