Hi,
I've noticed that in some cases there can be quite a bit of lag in logging (up to 2 secs) and that can complicate trying to figure out in which order things actually happen out of logs. Is there a way to tune this? (e.g. disabling buffering, reducing flush delay etc)

Example:
``` 73844  2025-05-13T18:47:19.745+0000 [DEBUG] [DebianKotlinBuildPlugin] BeforeProject project=gradle-build-conventions rootProject=gradle-build-conventions

notice `18:47:21.085` then back to `18:47:19.642`

that happens with anything that tries to capture stdout and stderr independently, as most CI systems seem to

if you can run `./gradlew 2&gt;&amp;1` to merge them into a single stream before being captured, the output should be ordered

excepted that it's not a CI, it's actually `&gt; log 2&gt;&amp;1` , same class, same message log level, probably different thread though

that messaging doesn't appear to be what gradle outputs itself. are you running through `annotate-output` or something like that?

ah, on the left I added a line number, not all lines are there (grep)
