Snapcraft doesn't store build logs
Metadata
Current evaluation
Build logs were addressed for core22 with Snapcraft 7: canonical/snapcraft#2574 (c6b1d9ee6) retrieves Launchpad remote-build logs.
Resolution: closed resolved
Reason: The issue was resolved by merged PR #2574, commit c6b1d9ee6, which added retrieval of Launchpad build-log files for remote builds. A later fix, #3076, addressed cases where the log URL was absent.

Issue body
snapcraft doesn't seem to store build logs by default nor to provide an option to do that, that's something that e.g deb packaging tools do and that comes often handy for debugging (you might have the interesting part out of your buffer or want to go back at looking at something the next day)
