ultimate-updater.log stopps logging / cropped #387
Description
Describe the bug
I've a cluster with 10+ hosts and 60+ VMs. When I run the update, a lot of log is created. I would like to research more in the logfile (ultimate-updater.log), but everytime I do a run, it just logs 250 kB, 260 kB or sometimes 400 kB of data. The rest is just in my terminal window, but not in the logfile. I expected a log around 2 MB.
I'm using the terminal mode, not the WebUi.
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Type update in a terminal.
Debug output
In the terminal I could not find any error. Syslog is clean too. The log stopps in the middle of the output. For me it looks like, that the log appending is using a buffer and the last buffer is flushed, but no other anymore.
Expected behavior
A full log, like shown in the terminal.
Screenshots
None.
VM/LXC (please complete the following information):
- Proxmox: 9.2.24
**Used Version
5.1.3
Additional context
None.

developas commitc51c992a7c7cd11fcdabfaa9b4ccb82abb136845.The update log cleanup no longer reads from and writes to the same log file through a live
teepipeline. The logging pipeline is closed and awaited before cleanup, ANSI removal uses a separate temporary file, and the cleaned log is replaced atomically while preserving ownership and permissions.Regression coverage includes successful, warning, and error paths as well as output larger than 1 MB. Terminal output, exit codes, and existing update semantics remain unchanged.
The issue remains open for release tracking.
