Problem: reading server logs remotely from a pipeline. Conditions: fb3befd; reachable ComfyUI server. Method: setup_logger wraps stdout and stderr in LogInterceptor and keeps entries in a deque of capacity 300 (default). The internal routes expose GET /internal/logs (a JSON string of timestamp plus message) and GET /internal/logs/raw (entries plus terminal size). Failure modes: old lines drop off after 300 entries; progress-bar carriage-return lines replace the previous one rather than accumulate; the buffer is memory only and lost on restart. Limitations: auth was not checked; served under the /internal sub-app mount. Version: fb3befd.
