[PR] GUACAMOLE-752: Include guacd connection id in error messages displayed in browser and in log [guacamole-client]
stcbus opened a new pull request, #1252:
URL: https://github.com/apache/guacamole-client/pull/1252
This PR adds the guacd $UUID (connection ID) into a log message of guacamole-client on connection to allow correlation with guacd log messages related to that connection (see PR in guacamole-server).
Also the same connection ID is added to the browser error messages only that can be viewed by the user by clicking "Debug details".
*Note: This PR was heavily assisted by AI (Claude) due to my strong desire to add features we desire to this product and my lack of ability to code competently in Java (and especially C).*

@Mike,
Any thoughts on this, since you were the one expressing doubt about whether or not having this connection ID be used in the browser and/or log messages is the right way to go?

Perhaps I just saw that that was already generated and logged and the PR
adds it not only to the browser but adds it in the guacamole-client logs to
finally tie back messages to the guacd session, which is longstanding
request that is useful to us.

I believe this was discussed on the Jira issue, and Mike's comment was that it probably does not make sense to put the actual connection ID from guacd in the message, but, instead, generate some sort of unique tracker that could be used to identify the connection in both places.
See GUACAMOLE-752.
