Open issues/risks
`
Stage 1: Definition
1. Feature overview
If a user's JavaScript logs messages using console.log and similar methods before the Web Console has been opened, those messages are lost. In order to see that log output, the user needs to reload the page.
With this feature in place, the user will see those messages as soon as they open the Web Console without needing to reload the page.
This feature also works for JavaScript errors and is very convenient for developers.
2. Users & use cases
With code like console.log("hi"); in a JS file, you should be able to load the page with the Web Console closed, open the Web Console and see "hi" in the log.
3. Dependencies
`
4. Requirements
- messages logged using console.* methods should be displayed on open of Web Console (subject to limitations to avoid a queue that's too large)
Non-goals
- Ideally, CSS and JavaScript errors would also be stored but if we can't get that on the first pass, that's acceptable.
