Devcontainer build logs should be nested inside the devcontainer block #1207

@blinkagent

Description

@blinkagent

Problem

Currently, devcontainer build logs appear in the parent agent's log panel. This makes it hard for users to infer where these logs will appear and creates a confusing UX.

Current Issues

  • Devcontainer logs are mixed with parent agent startup logs
  • Logs can hit the 1MB limit, preventing further updates when used actively
  • The current approach was implemented under time pressure and needs revisiting

Proposed Solution

Separate devcontainer build logs into a nested devcontainer block instead of displaying them in the parent agent's log panel.

Additional Context

The current implementation has a nice property where deleting and re-creating sub-agents occasionally resets the 1MB limit, allowing logs to continue. Any new design should consider how to handle log limits gracefully.
