status messages and logging need work #12
Description
we have a mechanism in place for showing status messages to the user (status.Error, status.Info, etc.), and a bunch of logging throughout the app with slog. both of these mechanisms write to the logs table and can be viewed in the logs page (ctrl+l) for a given session.
the mechanisms are fine, but the actual content being logged and displayed to users is a mess lol. like, all of it needs to be thrown out and redone. we should be much more thoughtful about what messages we should show in the status bar at the bottom, and also what we should be logging.
