What does this PR do

Closes #2279 (ha_get_logs(source="error_log") hanging 15+ minutes on Supervisor-backed installs).

  • Replaces the unconditional 20,000-line Core log fetch with bounded windows on every install type: the two Supervisor-backed routes send a journald Range: entries= header (which HA Core's hassio proxy forwards for log paths), and the container/pip route applies the same window client-side.
  • ha_get_logs(source="error_log") now pages with the existing limit/offset/has_more/next_offset contract, and reports the requested window as window_lines. Structured mode reads a bounded 2,000-line window (pageable via offset) instead of 20,000 lines.
  • has_more is settled by a one-entry Range probe instead of a line-count heuristic: journal-gatewayd's negative-skip branch clamps an overshot offset to the oldest entry and still returns a full window (no END_OF_STREAM guard, unlike its positive branch), so any count-based signal would page forever over identical windows. The probe's first-line identity check terminates the clamp case, the exact-end case, and the degraded case where an intermediary strips the Range header.
  • One overall asyncio.timeout wall-clock deadline now covers all three fetch routes (previously only the direct-Supervisor route, after fix: bound supervisor log fetch time #2281). httpx's scalar timeout applies per I/O operation, so a trickling response never trips it — the mechanism behind the reported hang.
  • Filtered pagination resumes at the oldest returned line instead of skipping a whole fetch window of unreturned matches, and the end-of-history page reports itself as such instead of firing the empty-fetch warning.
  • Module split: tools_utility.py (1868 lines) is now 277; the log machinery moved to tools_logs.py, log_common.py, log_sources.py, log_sources_supervisor.py, and the error-log window/pagination unit joined its parser in error_log_parsing.py. Pure relocation, no behavior change; the registry auto-discovers register_logs_tools.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PR moves ha_get_logs into dedicated modules and adds bounded, paginated error-log retrieval. It supports container, Supervisor, and HA Core proxy routes, adds shared validation and error handling, updates bug-report collection, and expands unit and end-to-end coverage.

Adds Supervisor add-on and system-service handlers, registers the relocated ha_get_logs tool, preserves legacy module enablement, updates documentation, and removes log retrieval from tools_utility.py.

Estimated code review effort: 5 (Critical) | ~120 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 06a5a

Error-log retrieval now supports paging through older retained history. Authenticated callers remain bounded per request, but the project should explicitly confirm or document the intended maximum history depth because logs may contain sensitive diagnostic data.

P1 Badge Preserve multiline journald entries across pages

When Supervisor-backed logs contain multiline journal entries such as tracebacks, the Range size and offset are measured in entries, but this slice limits the response by rendered physical lines. For example, a 100-entry response that expands to 1,000 lines returns only the last 100 lines, while _next_page_step advances by 100 entries, permanently skipping the unreturned content from roughly 90 entries. Pagination needs an entry-aware boundary or cursor rather than mixing line slicing with entry offsets.

P2 Badge Avoid treating duplicate log text as an end cursor

When the entry immediately before a full window has the same first rendered line as the window's oldest entry—a common case for repeatedly logged identical errors—this comparison sets has_more=False even though older history exists. Text identity is not an unambiguous journal position; use cursor/position metadata or another boundary mechanism that cannot confuse duplicate messages with the clamped oldest entry.

197-203: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Convert invalid end_time values into ToolError.

An invalid end_time, such as "invalid", raises ValueError at Line 198 before the error-translation try block. The public ha_get_logs(source="logbook", ...) call then bypasses the structured MCP error response. Parse and validate end_time inside the protected path, or raise a validation error through the dedicated helper.

As per coding guidelines, “All tool-level failures must raise ToolError.”
