Describe the feature you'd like

Hi, I am a user of paperless-ngx (which is basically like karakeep but for storing and archiving administrative documents, not to read stuff later) and think they nailed the "how to show background jobs details" problem.

Just like karakeep, paperless consumes documents, sends them to a pipeline for OCR etc, then a bunch of user defined rules are applied, add tags etc.

Here's a picture of how paperless-ngx does it:

If anything goes wrong at any of the processing steps, the File Tasks page can be accessed from the bottom right (red arrow).
Notice the 2 in bright red to make it clear that something failed.
On this page, tabs allow to filter through the files by status (cyan rectangle).
A tooltip appears when hovering over the (i) (Info column) to display the error message.
Once the user clicks Dismiss the line is removed.

It's also how the user can be notified that a duplicate file was submitted and ignored for example.

Similarly, they also have a Logs page where users can peruse the logs. I think it would be nice for the admin (although not necessary as users could still get it through docker). Here's a picture:

Describe the benefits this would bring to existing Karakeep users

Knowing when things go wrong, and why, hence produce better bug reports.

Can the goal of this request already be achieved via other means?

Have you searched for an existing open/closed issue?

I have searched for existing issues and none cover my fundamental request

The details about the background jobs is planned, the logs I'd say it's more of an icebox kind of FR.
