How to make the user aware of errors / warnings?

At the moment, we sort of rely on the user being able to see the logs of the application to notice errors or warnings during its operation.

Let's gather ideas here on how we can let the user know about these errors.

We could leverage tracing and create a dedicated subscriber that only collects warn and error logs. We could then create another feed entry for these and display them in a separate section in the frontend. This could be a lightweight and effective method of giving the user some information about what is going on.

We could even include info logs and there and give the user an ability to filter based on those.

Another idea might be to use a dedicated target within tracing and display some of these messages as prompts / notifications to the user. That might be a lot of "magic" though so I am not sure we should go that far.
