Comment (by arma):

 Replying to [comment:9 nickm]:
 > I'm okay with doing an in-tor solution for this if you decide one is
 necessary; just let me know.  It would probably involve adding a log type
 that lets you store the last N kb of log messages in a queue, and later
 query them via the control port.

 For historical context, check out #6938 where we built something quite
 similar. So a lot of the structure for this goal already exists, should we
 choose to proceed.
