name: stata-logdescription: Tail, read, or search a Stata log file from a previous command or background task.

Parse the argument:

First token: log file path or background task_id
Second token (optional): search term

If a search term is provided, call:

stata_read_log(path=<first_token>, query=<second_token>, before=2, after=2, regex=False)

Display matching lines with context.

If no search term, call:

stata_read_log(path=<first_token>, tail_lines=50)

Display the last 50 lines of the log.

If the argument looks like a task_id (not a file path), call:

stata_read_log(task_id=<argument>, tail_lines=50)

If no argument is provided, tell the user to supply a log file path or task_id. These are returned by stata_run in the log_path field of the JSON response.

If the log is large and truncated, note the offset for reading more (the response includes the current byte offset).
