Provide a way to merge other log file into current one
Metadata
Current evaluation
Feature request to merge external log files (e.g. subprocess output) into the current log. Delivered as Emitter.append_to_log() in craft-cli 3.0.0 via commit 839986b (#331); issue was left open and is now obsolete.
Suggested action: close resolved
Reason: The requested capability exists in the codebase: craft_cli/messages.py:837 defines `Emitter.append_to_log(file, prefix=':: ')` with the docstring "Dump the contents of an external log file into the emitter log", added by commit 839986b "feat(emitter): add a log dumping function (#331)". docs/changelog.rst confirms it shipped under "New features - Add an ``append_to_log`` method to the emitter, which reads from a file and dumps it directly into the log" in release 3.0.0 (2025-03-27), and it is covered by the integration test `test_append_to_log` (tests/integration/test_messages_integration.py:1874). No maintainer comments or labels exist on the issue, so the only reason it is still open is that it was never closed after the implementing PR merged.

PR #331, commit 839986b 'feat(emitter): add a log dumping function', added Emitter.append_to_log and the 3.0.0 changelog entry; this is the direct implementation of the requested `merge_logs_from` capability under a different name.
