Yeah, it is a good point. But I'm afraid that we will cut the important output. Alternatively, we can filter the lines that starts with |

@HarshwardhanPatil07 let's add the filter before merging this |
Previously, the output of the systemd unit was only reported in bootc
operator. Now, it is returned as part of the error when bootc switch
fails.
The output for the systemd unit is quite verbose, so we filter for the
lines containing the errors tag. The full output will be reduced from:
bootc stage failed: running bootc switch: Started bootc-operator-switch.service - [systemd-run] /usr/bin/bootc switch ghcr.io/bootc-dev/bink/node@sha256:9ce7d6d15b8558c226b4c41f3b27bf1722897b0c8a66c7a84a2877bca8d049f7.

to
'bootc stage failed: running bootc switch: error: Switching: Switching

The full message in any case is present in the bootc daemon logs.

With the filter the message looks like: - lastTransitionTime: "2026-08-11T08:01:46Z"

Previously, the output of the systemd unit was only reported in bootc operator. Now, it is returned as part of the error when bootc switch fails.
The output of the systemd unit might be quite verbose, but it doesn't filter any information to avoid any precious information loss.
