Enable native uploading and processing of .log files to allow users and teams to submit application and system logs directly for analysis, troubleshooting, and insights.

.log files are a primary source of truth for understanding system behavior, failures, and performance issues, yet they are often excluded or require manual workarounds (zipping, renaming, copy-pasting). By supporting direct .log file uploads, users can seamlessly share raw diagnostic data without friction.

The primary beneficiaries are developers, SREs, support engineers, pre-sales technical teams, and post-sales delivery teams who rely on logs for debugging, root-cause analysis, validation, and customer support. Customers also benefit indirectly through faster issue resolution and improved service quality.

The feature should work by allowing .log as an accepted file type in the upload flow, with size limits and security scanning consistent with existing file uploads. Once uploaded, the log file can be stored, previewed (plain-text viewer), parsed, or integrated with downstream analysis tools (e.g., search, pattern detection, or AI-assisted summarization), depending on platform capabilities.
