Problem

Describe the bug When opening the "run" page for an active job you can see: - Gray checkmarks and expandable sections for completed steps and all of their log lines. - Yellow loading animation on any active steps. - Circles for the future steps. The log lines for the active steps will then start streaming in, but the prior lines for that step are not there, and there appears to be no way to see them until the step completes. To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior: 1. Run an action 2. Visit the run page after a few seconds and try to find the log lines for the currently running step that occurred before you loaded the page. Expected behavior All of the log lines that were emit before I loaded the page should be visible, then new ones stream in afterwards.

This is basic CI functionality, so it's a bug. I don't know how you could classify it as a nice to have feature. Sounds like you aren't in the trenches having to diagnose builds much
