      "Non-interactive: `--json` outputs logs as JSON Lines.",

      "--since: Historical window start; accepts duration or ISO 8601; defaults to 10m.",
      "--follow: Stream logs instead of showing historical logs.",
      "--json: Output logs as JSON Lines.",
      "`--deploy-id` and `--url` are rejected with `--source server`, because server logs are not tied to a deploy.",
      "History paging stops 10,500 lines back; when that cuts the window short, the command warns on stderr, including with `--json`.",
      "`--follow` polls every 2 seconds with a 10-second look-back and prints only lines it has not printed yet. It stops on a 401, 403, or 404; it reports other failures without stopping."
