05/25/2023, 5:37 PMthat’s mostly to show that something is going on, not so much what, unless it’s stuck on something in which case you’d see the last few lines of output..

05/25/2023, 6:01 PMYeah. I think maybe having it as a flag essentially forcing single-task execution (for things with log output, anyways) would make sense. And then backends can opt in where ut would make sense, perhaps based on some flag. E.g. I'd only want it for debugging if it forces sequential behavior.
