fix: format streamed JSON logs for build

[skevetter]

Summary

• add a reusable JSON-aware subprocess log streamer
• preserve structured Devsy log levels instead of wrapping them as INFO messages
• use the streamer for Docker builds and Devsy agent process boundaries
• remove the obsolete TunnelLogStreamer name

Verification

• go test ./pkg/log ./pkg/devcontainer/sshtunnel ./pkg/driver/docker ./pkg/client/clientimplementation ./cmd/machine ./cmd/workspace ./cmd/internal -count=1
• git diff --check

The full go test ./... run exceeded the 300-second command timeout after passing the packages completed before timeout.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Improvements
  • Improved log streaming for SSH sessions, workspace operations, builds, and tunnels.
  • Structured JSON logs now retain their original severity and messages.
  • Plain-text output is assigned appropriate log levels, including recognized level prefixes.
  • Unknown or malformed structured logs fall back gracefully without disrupting command output.
  • Error output now retains a bounded set of recent log lines for clearer diagnostics.
  • Build and tunnel output is cleaner, avoiding redundant JSON wrappers.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds a reusable JSON log streamer. It decodes structured log lines, detects level prefixes, captures recent output, and replaces fixed-level writers in SSH, agent injection, SSH tunnel, and Docker build paths.

Changes

JSON log streaming

Layer / File(s)	Summary
JSON log streamer core pkg/log/streamer.go, pkg/log/streamer_test.go	Adds JSONLogStreamer with structured JSON decoding, fallback levels, prefix detection, bounded capture, close handling, and tests for mixed and malformed output.
Shared JSON stream integration pkg/log/jsonstream.go	Routes JSON stream parsing through the shared decoder and zap-level dispatcher.
Command and build logging adoption cmd/machine/ssh.go, cmd/workspace/logs.go, pkg/client/clientimplementation/workspace_client.go, pkg/driver/docker/build.go, pkg/driver/docker/build_test.go	Replaces fixed-level stderr writers with configured JSON log streamers. Build tests validate structured output decoding.
SSH tunnel streamer migration pkg/devcontainer/sshtunnel/sshtunnel.go, pkg/devcontainer/sshtunnel/sshtunnel_test.go	Replaces the local tunnel streamer with the shared implementation and updates tests for the new API and unknown JSON levels.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to b3b1e

Streamed logs using tab-delimited level prefixes may be assigned the wrong severity, such as DEBUG being treated as a fallback level. The PR is mergeable with explicit owner awareness and a small parsing fix or regression test.

In `@pkg/log/streamer.go`:
- Line 190: Update extractLevelPrefix, which is used by DetectLevelPrefixes for
non-JSON lines, to split the line on arbitrary whitespace rather than literal
spaces so tab-delimited Zap console output parses the level correctly. Add a
regression test covering a timestamp, DEBUG level, and message separated by
tabs, while preserving the existing three-part parsing behavior.
