Log during UI installation is empty in AEMaaCS

[kwin]

The live log window during UI installation is still empty (only exposes "..."). Most probably this is because the job is running on another author instance than the actual servlet. So most probably there is no way around persisting the log in an incremental fashion in the repository to make it accessible from all other author instances.

We experienced the same issue using 6.5.1 version on AEMaaCS. I attach logs that might be related:
