Why

When a backup, start or other action fails, the TUI only shows a one-line error. Finding the cause means opening the web UI.

Proposal

A new key on the main screen opens a "Tasks" screen listing recent tasks: type, guest, user, start time, status (OK or the error).
Enter on a task shows its log.
Optional: filter to the selected guest from the info screen.

cv4pve-cli (2.4.0)

task list
task show <upid>
task log <upid>

Note: task wait/show does not accept -o json (seen in 2.4.0), so check the output format of each command.

Done when

The task list and log viewer work.
Tests are written first, with cv4pve-cli mocked.
A read-only live check passes.
