+Made two fixes:
+
+1. **Fixed horizontal scrolling**: Disabled horizontal scrolling and ensured text wraps vertically. The `TextBlock` with `TextWrapping="Wrap"` should now wrap long lines instead of scrolling horizontally.
+
+2. **Enhanced log reading diagnostics**: The log reading now:
+   - Shows the log file size
+   - Attempts multiple reading methods (Get-Content, then raw bytes if needed)
+   - Provides more diagnostic information about why logs might be empty
+   - Shows the first 500 characters of raw content if Get-Content fails
+
+When you try starting the worker again, you should see:
+- **Vertical scrolling only** — long lines wrap instead of scrolling horizontally
+- **Better log diagnostics** — if the log file exists but appears empty, it will show the file size and attempt to read raw bytes to see if there's actually content
+
+The log file may be empty because the controller hasn't started writing to it yet, or there's an encoding issue. The enhanced diagnostics should help identify the cause.

+The log section is still empty. The enhanced diagnostics should show file size and raw content attempts, but they aren't appearing. Checking if the diagnostics script is outputting correctly and ensuring the log reading code is being executed:
